Franklin Build India Fund
The Franklin Build India Fund remains heavily tilted toward infrastructure and capex-intensive sectors—power, construction, and industrials account for over a third of the portfolio—reflecting conviction that India's development trajectory will drive demand for these businesses. The manager added Suzlon Energy while exiting ABB India, signaling a shift toward renewable energy plays within the infrastructure theme. With 53% concentrated in just ten holdings and cash near 6%, the fund is aggressively positioned but retains flexibility, though this concentration demands comfort with large-cap execution risk.
