Franklin Resources, often known as Franklin Templeton, is an asset management company based in California. Since its founding in 1947, Franklin Templeton has been controlled by the Johnson family, with the third-generation Jenny Johnson currently serving as the president and CEO. Franklin Templeton offers a wide range of investment vehicles, including mutual funds and exchange-traded products, though it has become a pioneer in the digital-assets space, including becoming one of the first U.S. asset managers to launch a Bitcoin ETF. The company is moving further into the red-hot tokenization space, where traditional assets such as money-market funds are issued on blockchains.
