Franklin Templeton voluntarily winds up six credit funds

“In light of the severe market dislocation and illiquidity caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, this decision has been taken in order to protect value for investors via a managed sale of the portfolio,” Franklin Templeton said in a late evening release.
The fund house said this action is limited to the mentioned funds, which have material direct exposure to the higher yielding, lower-rated credit securities in India that have been most impacted by the ongoing liquidity crisis in the market.

it's clear that they can't liquidate rest of bonds. Good quality ones won't have issue with liquidity. So one can assume rest of AUM is stuck in bed quality bonds...
 
sh$t has hit the fan...

Franklin templaton has froze 6 major funds.

- Franklin India Low Duration Fund,
- Franklin India Dynamic Accrual Fund,
- Franklin India Credit Risk Fund,
- Franklin India Short Term Income Plan,
- Franklin India Ultra Short Bond Fund, and
- Franklin India Income Opportunities Fund.

Total AUM of Rs. 28,000 cr. is stuck now. These schemes will not allow any further transactions, no purchases, no redemptions
Doesn't surprise me one bit. I am truly sorry for all those people who are invested in its ultra short term debt funds!
