Franklin Templeton Investments Corp. (FTIC) provides investment advisory and portfolio management services to registered funds and separate accounts. FTIC also acts as a sub-advisor for separately managed accounts. FTIC's services include determining which securities to buy, hold, or sell for accounts with full investment discretion, and making recommendations for accounts without investment discretion. FTIC uses personnel from its affiliates for investment advice, portfolio execution, and client servicing.
FTIC's investment management fees are calculated as a percentage of the market value of assets under management. The annual rates vary based on the investment objective and the type of services provided. Fee arrangements for separate accounts vary by client and are based on factors such as investment mandate, services performed, and account size. FTIC may negotiate and charge performance fees or special allocations in addition to asset-based fees.
