The Franklin Rising Dividends Fund Class A (FRDPX) is an actively managed fund that aims to provide rising income to investors. FRDPX does this by focusing its attention on U.S. stocks of any size that pay dividends. Managers of the fund look for stocks that have consistent dividend increases and long dividend-paying histories within a framework of other fundamental metrics.
FRDPX features low costs and makes a great core holding for income investors or a subcore holding for those looking for total return. The fund is managed by Franklin Advisory Services.
