| theflyonthewall.com: | Franklin Resources gains market share as business improves, IBD reports | | Mutual fund firm Franklin Resources (BEN), known for its Templeton Global Bond Fund, is on the rebound as it has seen an up tick of inflow into fixed income, reports Investor's Business Daily's "The New America". While Franklin felt the effects of the downturn, business began to improve in the fourth quarter of 2009. Most new money is going into fixed-income funds, but fund investors are starting to turn back to equities which is expected to improve this year. Among advantages against its rivals, Franklin counts its strong balance sheet, which would allow it to make an acquisition, buyback shares and increase dividends.
