Growth style

"The fund will adopt a growth style of investing unlike other Franklin equity funds, which follow a blended investment style," said Mr Vivek Kudva, President, Franklin Templeton India.

"In a rapidly growing economy like India, a growth style has performed better and is likely to sustain this performance (albeit with higher volatility) if the economy continues to grow at a rapid pace," he added.

Focus

The fund's focus will be on companies offering the best trade-off between growth, risk and valuation.

The fund will follow a mix of top-down and bottom up approach.

The fund will offer growth and dividend options and the minimum investment amount is Rs 5,000.
