Benefits of investing in the Templeton Global Equity Fund

The significant benefits of the Fund are:

  • Exposure to the Templeton Global Trust Fund, which is a portfolio that is constructed from the bottom-up, on a stock-by- stock basis, with a consistent focus on long-term valuations. We do not construct portfolios relative to the benchmark, and country and industry allocations are a result of bottom-up stock selection;
  • Investment in a professionally managed fund with an underlying investment in a diversified global equity securities portfolio across sectors and regions; and
  • A time-tested investment philosophy and disciplined investment style that avoids short-term trends and focuses on long- term drivers that impact stocks and that has been in place for over 70 years.
