Before choosing a Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund scheme
- Decide the category from your goal and horizon first
- Compare the scheme’s rolling returns with its benchmark and category peers
- Prefer direct plans if you do not need a distributor
- Check expense ratio, exit load and riskometer in the KIM/SID
- Avoid holding several overlapping schemes of the same category
- Review once a year rather than reacting to short-term NAV moves
