Franklin Resources: A Better Business At A Higher Price
I rated Franklin Resources, Inc. a Hold at $25 last July and got it wrong: the diversification effort produced margin expansion, not just slower outflows. Private markets money comes in at 65 basis points against 37.9 firm-wide, which is why the blended fee rate hasn't fallen even though mutual fund fees have for years. Franklin sells mostly through advisors and platforms. ETFs, retail SMAs and Canvas serve to keep assets in-house when an advisor changes wrappers. Equity flows turned positive at $2B this quarter.
