Molly O’Shea(@MollySOShea):Franklin Templeton manages $1.8 trillion in assets today. In 1955, when CEO Jenny Johnson's father took over the family business, it had just $2.5 million in AUM & $10,000 in revenue. It took nearly 30 years to reach their first $1 billion in assets. "We eked out a $5,000 profit for the entire year in 1973 or 1974."
