NAV data as of 29 Sep 2026. Role, qualifications and tenure are disclosures from Franklin Templeton’s Scheme Information Documents and Statement of Additional Information — SEBI filings, not our assessment of anyone. 2 of the 10 scheme assignments come from another of the house’s filings naming them rather than from that scheme’s own document, so that list may be incomplete. Returns are computed from AMFI NAV history; see our methodology. A fund’s performance is not attributable to one person, and nothing here is investment advice.
