The Trustee of Franklin Templeton decided to wind up six of our debt schemes in April 2020. The difficult decision was taken because the markets had become illiquid due to the severe impact of COVID-19. The sole objective of this decision was to safeguard value for our investors.
The six wound up schemes included Franklin India Ultra Short Bond Fund (FIUBF), Franklin India Low Duration Fund (FILDF), Franklin India Short Term Income Plan (FISTIP), Franklin India Income Opportunities Fund (FIIOF), Franklin India Credit Risk Fund (FICRF) and Franklin India Dynamic Accrual Fund (FIDA).
This page is dedicated to updating you on key information on these six schemes.
- The total amount distributed in the winding up schemes stands at INR 27,548.21 crores amounting to 109.25% of the AUM as on April 23, 2020.
- All schemes have returned over 100% of the AUM at the time of winding up.
- All schemes have liquidated all performing assets.
- At the time of each distribution, the NAV of each scheme was higher than on April 23, 2020.
- Total amount disbursed so far ranges between 107.17% and 113.46% of the respective AUM of the six schemes as of April 23, 2020.
