At the close of December 2025, Franklin Resources reported assets under management of $1.68 trillion, up sequentially from November. This increase was driven by $28 billion in net inflows, with broad‐based gains across its equity, fixed income and alternative strategies. Equity mandates attracted $12.5 billion, while fixed income funds saw $8.3 billion of new capital. Alternative asset vehicles, including private credit and real estate strategies, recorded $7.2 billion in inflows. The firm attributes this momentum to its specialized investment teams and client demand for diversified multi‐asset solutions.

The State of Wyoming has launched FRNT, the nation’s first state‐issued stable token, with Franklin Templeton appointed to manage the underlying reserves. The token is pegged to the U.S. dollar and is collateralized by a mix of high-quality short-term government securities and money market instruments placed in a segregated Franklin Templeton trust. The arrangement leverages the asset manager’s $1.68 trillion platform and over 1,600 investment professionals to ensure daily liquidity and regulatory compliance. Wyoming officials project that FRNT will facilitate faster, cost-efficient public disbursements and catalyze digital asset innovation in the state.
