Frequently asked questions
How often has Franklin India Floating Rate Fund beaten its benchmark over 3-year periods?
Franklin India Floating Rate Fund beat its benchmark, NIFTY Short Duration Debt Index A-II, in 29.95% of all overlapping 3-year rolling windows in its history. This is different from simply having a positive return - it measures how often the fund's own 3-year CAGR exceeded the benchmark's 3-year CAGR over the exact same dates, which is a more direct read on the manager's stock selection than a single trailing alpha figure computed over one window.
What is Franklin India Floating Rate Fund's 3-year rolling return, and how does it rank?
Franklin India Floating Rate Fund's 3-year rolling CAGR (median across all rolling 3-year windows in the data) is 7.0%. That places it in the 25th percentile within its category, Floater Fund - meaning it has outperformed roughly 25% of peers in the same category over this window. The category median for this metric is 7.7%, so comparing Franklin India Floating Rate Fund's figure against that median shows how much it has beaten (or trailed) a typical fund in this category. Rolling returns average performance across many overlapping windows rather than a single start/end date, which makes them a steadier read on consistency than a simple point-to-point return.
How risky is Franklin India Floating Rate Fund?
Franklin India Floating Rate Fund carries a "Moderate" risk rating on SEBI's mandated riskometer scale, the same standardized classification every Indian mutual fund must disclose. This rating reflects the fund's underlying portfolio composition and historical volatility, and is set independently of any single AMC's own marketing - it's meant to give investors a comparable, at-a-glance sense of how much the fund's value can swing before deciding whether it matches their own risk appetite and investment horizon. A higher-risk rating isn't inherently bad; it typically correlates with higher long-term return potential, but also with larger short-term drawdowns, so it should be read alongside the fund's category and your own time horizon rather than in isolation.
What is Franklin India Floating Rate Fund's expense ratio?
Franklin India Floating Rate Fund's direct-plan expense ratio is 0.38% per year - the annual fee the AMC deducts from the fund's assets to cover management and operating costs, already reflected in the NAV you see (it isn't billed separately). Direct plans skip the distributor commission built into Regular plans, which is why a direct-plan expense ratio is almost always lower than the same scheme's Regular-plan version. Over long holding periods, even a difference of a few basis points compounds into a meaningfully different final corpus, which is why expense ratio is one of the few fund attributes an investor can compare with total certainty before investing, unlike future returns.
How does Franklin India Floating Rate Fund's expense ratio compare to its category?
Franklin India Floating Rate Fund's expense ratio of 0.38% ranks #10 of 12 funds in the Floater Fund category (lower is better) - the category median is 0.28%. Expense ratio is deducted from the fund's assets every year regardless of performance, so a lower ratio is a real, certain cost advantage rather than a projection, unlike future returns.
How big is Franklin India Floating Rate Fund, and how does that compare to its category?
Franklin India Floating Rate Fund manages ₹254 Cr in assets, ranking #9 of 12 funds by size in the Floater Fund category - the category median is ₹1,086 Cr. A larger fund generally means deeper liquidity and lower per-unit fixed costs for the AMC to spread across investors, but in categories with a smaller investable universe (like small or mid cap), a very large fund can also face more difficulty entering and exiting positions without moving the price.
What's the best and worst 3-year holding period for Franklin India Floating Rate Fund historically?
Looking at every overlapping 3-year window in Franklin India Floating Rate Fund's history, the best-performing window ran from 2022-07-24 to 2025-07-23, delivering a 8.9% CAGR. The worst-performing window ran from 2020-02-13 to 2023-02-12, delivering a 5.0% CAGR. This is a historical record of actual past outcomes, not a prediction - it shows the real range of results an investor holding for exactly 3 years could have seen depending on entry timing, which is why rolling returns (median across all windows, shown above) are a more representative single number than either extreme.
How concentrated are Franklin India Floating Rate Fund's top holdings?
Franklin India Floating Rate Fund's single largest disclosed holding, 7.64% REC Ltd (30-Apr-2027) **, accounts for 10.058954% of NAV. Its top 5 holdings together make up 48.4% of the portfolio, and its top 10 disclosed holdings make up 87.6% - as of 2026-09-30. A higher concentration in the top few names means the fund's returns lean more heavily on those specific bets paying off, while a flatter spread means no single holding drives outcomes as much either way.
Who manages Franklin India Floating Rate Fund, and what category does it belong to?
Franklin India Floating Rate Fund is managed by Franklin Templeton Asset Management (India) Private Limited and is classified under the Floater Fund category, the SEBI-defined scheme categorization that groups funds by their investment mandate (market-cap focus, sector, or asset mix) so investors can compare like-for-like funds rather than across unrelated strategies. The AMC (asset management company) is the regulated entity legally responsible for the fund's operations, portfolio decisions, and disclosures, though day-to-day investment calls are made by a designated fund manager within the mandate set by the scheme's category and stated objective.
