Franklin Resources shares have returned 4.14% since my previous review, compared to 21.7% for the S&P 500. I believe that buying back into Franklin Resources is a worthwhile investment due to a relatively secure dividend and positive risk premium. The company's financial snapshot shows a decline in sales and net income, but the capital structure appears less risky with a decrease in debt.

Solid dividend-yielding stocks are highly desirable amid the current uncertain macroeconomic environment. One such stock from the investment management industry is Franklin (BEN).
