In plain English
Franklin Resources — known to the public as Franklin Templeton — is one of the world's largest independent money managers, looking after ~$1.7 trillion of other people's savings across stock funds, bond funds, and a fast-growing pile of private-market (alternatives) money. It grew into a giant by buying rivals — above all Legg Mason in 2020, which brought Western Asset, and Putnam in 2024 — and is still controlled by the founding Johnson family.
