Franklin Templeton updated their public and private sites about two weeks ago and our Mutual Fund Monitor clients were provided with information about it in the December 28, 2009 MFM Update. I thought our non-client readers might be interested in seeing the changes too and it’s a good way to show off what’s typically found inside one of our Mutual Fund Monitor Updates.

Here’s a preview of the preview: Franklin Templeton’s recent public and private sites changes added an investor-friendly private homepage that features account information and an updated navigational menu. Usability is also improved thanks to a new “I Am Here To” menu that provides quicklinks to key tools. Despite changes to the site’s appearance, most site content remains the same.

Mutual Fund Monitor Update is published bi-weekly and tracks 18 direct and wholesale mutual fund companies’ public and private sites in their entirety. When changes occur to the sites, we provide the information to our clients in a timely fashion, with images and text that puts the content changes into proper context (e.g., is it better or worse than before?).
