About Franklin Square Capital Partners
Franklin Square is a national sponsor and distributor of alternative investment products structured for the mainstream investor. Founded in 2007 by an experienced group of alternative investment industry professionals, Franklin Square’s goal is to bring the benefits of an institutional-class investment portfolio to investors through exposure to innovative alternative investment products managed by what it deems to be best-in-class alternative asset managers. Franklin Square believes that institutional investment portfolios, with their access to the strong return potential and diversifying power of alternative assets, are better-suited to manage risk and generate above-market returns than their traditional counterparts. Franklin Square is committed to best practices and transparency, including a commitment to not fund distributions with offering proceeds or borrowings, mark-to-market pricing and a significant sponsor investment in its products. Franklin Square distributes its sponsored financial products to the broker-dealer community through its affiliated wholesaling broker-dealer, FS2 Capital Partners, LLC.
