On October 1, 2025, Franklin Resources, Inc. announced the completion of its acquisition of Apera Asset Management, a pan-European private credit firm. Apera had over €5 billion (approximately $5.7 billion) in assets under management (AUM) as of September 30, 2025.
This acquisition significantly increases Franklin Templeton’s global alternative credit AUM to over $90 billion and its total alternative asset strategies to approximately $270 billion in aggregate. The transaction reinforces the firm's position as a leading manager of diversified alternative asset strategies.
Apera's focus on providing senior secured private capital solutions to private equity-backed companies in Western Europe complements Franklin Templeton’s existing global alternative credit offerings. This strategic expansion is expected to enhance the firm's capabilities and geographic exposure within the growing private credit asset class.
