Franklin Templeton Investments was founded in 1947 by Rupert H. Johnson, Sr. as an investment company. Johnson named the company after Benjamin Franklin because he embodied the idea of prudence in saving and investing.
In 1957 Rupert’s son Charlie took over the company as CEO at age 24. At the time the firm had $2.4 million in assets under management.
The company went public in 1971, which gave the company enough money to fund an expansion. This was done through acquisition, starting with Winfield & Company, a California-based investment firm.
From 1980 to 1986 Franklin Templeton Investments doubled its assets under management every year, and in 1989 the firm had $40 billion under management.
Today the company manages more than 100 mutual funds that invest in both domestic and international stock. Its investment products are sold through more than 1,600 banks, securities firms, and financial advisors.
Franklin Templeton Investments trades publicly on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol BEN, is a member of the S&P 500, is #337 in the Fortune 500, has 9,266 employees, and had $8.49 billion in revenue in 2013.

Dear Sirs/Madam or to whom it may concern. Please–I need help desperately in trying to get the remainder funds issued to me in accounts

I have been getting the run around playing phone tag with numerous people trying to get my funds released to me and it’s like spitting in a fan if you know what I mean. They claim that I have to send in the certificates for these accounts which I don’t have and never was issued any certificates of any kind, and besides that, they want to charge me
$ 1440 to issue new certificates. will NOT be held ransom for my own money. Folkes–that’s a lot of you know what. I need that money desperately to pay for my wife’s nursing home care and I need it last week ago. What the hell is wrong with you people. I didn’t commit a crime. They have all the info that is required such as cusip numbers etc. Can you please look into this urgent matter for me. A lot depends on my wife’s welfare. My finances are quickly depleting paying for her care and the hold back money you are holding is outrages. If it is any help, I will included two cusip numbers that are in question to release the money. Cusip # 35472XXXX and #35351XXXXXX.
Please get this thing cleared up for me please. I know you guys all have your jobs to do as do I and my job is to light a fire under someone’s rear end. Thank you.
