Franklin Templeton Investments has launched its new fund to concentrate more on the critical sectors that drives the economy. The open-ended equity fund called Franklin Build India Fund will be opened for subscription from July 10 to August 8.
"We need to enhance the key building blocks of the economy to sustain and enhance economic growth rates. There is increase in investments in areas such as physical-social infrastructure, resources, financial services and agriculture," said Harshendu Bindal, President, Franklin Templeton Investments.

But investors will have to pay an entry load of 2.25 percent for this particular scheme.
