Franklin Resources Inc: what insiders have been doing
This page follows insider dealings at Franklin Resources Inc as filed with SEC (Form 4), a company from the Finance & Banking sector based in San Mateo, United States. The group dates from 1947. Over the twelve months to 18 October 2026, 37 filings were filed, from 12 insiders.
Only purchases show up on the open market, 2 purchases in all worth €1.8M, filed by 1 insider. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. Johnson Charles B filed the largest purchase, €927k, on 19 November 2025.
Across the 5,810 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 19 filings; at 37 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. Since 2021, the database holds 10 purchases and 12 sales by insiders of the company. In its latest annual report filed with the SEC (10-K, fiscal year ended 30 September 2025), the company reported revenue of 8.77 bn USD and net income of 524.9 m USD, with a dividend of 1.28 USD per share.
The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 331 days ago, on 21 November 2025. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 2 days. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4.
For comparison within the same sector, see the insider buying recorded at First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. and Avidia Bancorp, Inc. Every figure here comes from the filings published by SEC (Form 4) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.

About Franklin Resources Inc
Franklin Resources, Inc. (NYSE: BEN), better known through its Franklin Templeton brand, is a U.S.-based global asset management and wealth management company headquartered in San Mateo, California, United States. The company traces its roots back to 1947 and was incorporated in Delaware in 1969. It originally grew from the Franklin family of funds, built around fixed income and growth/value-oriented equity strategies, and later expanded through a long series of acquisitions to broaden its product set and global reach. ([s201.q4cdn.com](https://s201.q4cdn.com/562074409/files/doc_financials/2025/ar/Franklin-Resources-2025-Annual-Report.pdf))
Today, Franklin Templeton operates as a diversified investment platform with more than 1,500 investment professionals and offices in major financial centers around the world. Its offering spans equities, fixed income, multi-asset solutions, wealth management, and a growing alternatives franchise that includes private credit, real estate debt, real estate equity, hedge fund strategies, secondary private equity, co-investments, and pre-IPO venture investments. This broad product architecture is one of the company’s main competitive strengths, because scale, specialist expertise, and distribution reach are critical in global asset management.

Management said the deal would add meaningful scale to its alternative credit franchise and deepen its presence in the European lower middle market. More recently, in its April 28, 2026 second-quarter results, the company reported another strong quarter, including $17 billion of long-term net inflows, improved public-market sales, and record AUM in ETFs and Canvas, while also stressing disciplined cost management and continued investment in growth areas.
