BEN's AUM Falls 1.9% in September: Can Diversification Sustain Growth?
Franklin Templeton's assets under management fell 1.9% sequentially to $1.79 trillion as of September 30, 2026, due to market volatility affecting equity and fixed-income portfolios. However, the company generated $6 billion in long-term net inflows and its alternatives business grew to $303 billion, demonstrating resilience. Strategic acquisitions in private credit and digital assets, including the launch of Franklin Crypto, position the company for long-term growth despite near-term headwinds from private credit concerns.
