About FKSAX

Franklin Core Plus Bond Fund Advisor Class is a multi-sector bond mutual fund designed to provide investors with a high level of current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The fund employs a core plus strategy, meaning it invests primarily in investment-grade fixed income securities but has the flexibility to allocate to additional credit sectors such as high-yield bonds and emerging market debt, broadening its opportunity set and diversifying risk. Its portfolio includes a mix of U.S. Treasuries, investment-grade corporates, mortgage-backed securities, high-yield corporates, and select foreign bonds. The fund maintains broad sector exposure and actively manages credit quality and duration, allowing it to adapt to changing market environments. Dividend distributions are made monthly, reflecting its income-oriented approach. With substantial assets under management and a history dating back to 1999, Franklin Core Plus Bond Fund Advisor Class plays a significant role for investors aiming to balance income generation and moderate capital growth within a diversified fixed income allocation.
