BEN
Franklin Resources, Inc.
A global investment manager, widely known as Franklin Templeton, that runs money for individuals, institutions, and high-net-worth clients around the world. It works through a family of specialist firms—including Western Asset Management, Clarion Partners, and Putnam—each running its own funds and accounts across stocks, bonds, alternatives, and other strategies. Founded in New York City in 1947 by Rupert Johnson Sr., the firm was named after Benjamin Franklin, whose frugality and prudence the founder admired; its stock ticker symbol is even "BEN," a nod to its namesake.
Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. † Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over the last year: +100.0K shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
