In July 2024, Franklin Templeton announced that it is one of the first global asset management firms to establish feeder funds for the onshore UAE retail market through its two Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) – domiciled fund ranges: Franklin Templeton Investments Feeder Funds (FTIFF) and Franklin Templeton Shariah Feeder Funds (FTSFF).
