ABOUT FRANKLYN

For us, business is personal

It’s about building relationships and getting to know the real you. This philosophy has guided our growth – without sacrificing our friendly, personal touch.

Our Values

We take a lot of pride in what we achieve but more than that, we are proud of how we achieve it. Meaningful values and great vision are what distinguishes a company like ours. We believe in what we do, and how we do it. In fact, we believe that there is no company quite like Franklyn.

Integrity

We believe that financial management can be a force for good. We live that belief, in our commitment to charity, to social responsibility, to ethical investment planning, and to our clients.

Courage and Resilience

We believe that the way to succeed is to face the truth, however good or bad. We never shy away from responsibility and we always do what we think is right.
