Franklin Core Plus Bond Fund Class C is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with diversified exposure across the fixed income markets. This fund primarily invests in investment grade rated securities, but it also has the flexibility to include high-yield, lower-quality bonds to enhance return potential. Its "core plus" mandate allows it to invest not only in core sectors such as U.S. government, corporate, and mortgage-backed securities, but also in additional sectors like emerging market and high-yield bonds, providing greater diversification opportunities. Managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc., the fund seeks to deliver income by regularly distributing dividends, with a trailing dividend yield that is modest relative to its category peers. By incorporating both investment grade and select higher-yielding instruments, Franklin Core Plus Bond Fund Class C aims to balance income generation with risk management, making it a strategic option within the broader fixed income segment of the financial market. It serves institutional and retail investors looking for a blend of stability from higher-quality bonds and incremental yield from broader fixed income sectors.
