Bullish... bearish. Bearish... bullish. In a market so unpredictable, it makes sense to follow a regular investing approach rather than investing a lump sum. Franklin Templeton’s PROWESS—focuses on providing you with options which would aim at wealth accretion while minimizing the risk you assume to achieve the desired objective. The focus of PROWESS will be to identify attractive investment opportunities taking advantage of the disciplined approach to investing, which has been the hallmark of Franklin Templeton over the years.

PROWESS brings you two products—FT select and FT Opportunities—each one mapped to suit a conservative or aggressive risk profile.
