Franklin Resources ended June 2026 with a record $1.788 trillion in managed assets, up 10.9% year over year on strong equity market performance and improved flows in the company's fixed-income operations, as the headwinds posed by its Western Asset Management subsidiary have waned.
Franklin is one of the 20 largest US-based asset managers, with 71% of its AUM sourced from domestic clients. It is the fifth-largest global manager of cross-border funds.
Franklin's funds continue to be weaker than they should be, with 65%, 56%, and 66% of AUM above peer median performance on a one-, three-, and five-year basis, respectively, at the end of March 2026.
