Fund Description
|
The fund was incepted in May 1969 and is managed by Franklin Advisers. The objective of this fund is to seek capital appreciation. The fund's secondary goal is to provide shareholders with current income through dividends or interest received from its investments. The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in investments of gold and precious metals operation companies. Gold and precious metals operation companies include companies that mine, process, or deal in gold or other precious metals, such as silver, platinum, and palladium, including mining finance and exploration companies as well as operating companies with long, medium, or short-life mines. The fund offers dividends and capital gains at least annually, but there is no guarantee that it would pay.
