FRANKLIN TEMPLETON MUTUAL FUNDSDry Associates Limited is the distributor in East Africa for Franklin Templeton Investments, one of the world’s leading fund managers. The founder of Templeton, Sir John Templeton, is credited with being the pioneer of international investment through the medium of mutual funds.
The merger in 1992 between Templeton Investments and Franklin Resources Inc. created the largest publicly quoted asset manager in the United States. Franklin Templeton Investments currently serves over 10 million customers in 45 countries and has US$ 371.1 billion of clients’ money under management. It is also the only asset manager included in the S&P 500 index.
Franklin Templeton offers 41 funds outside the US encompassing a complete range of risk versus return options to suit every investor profile. Among the features we like about Franklin Templeton Funds are that many of them contain a large or total bond content (which is intended to reduce or even eliminate risk as far as possible), while those with an equity content are guided by a stock selection method that seeks value, as opposed to simply growth, thus avoiding faddish-type products that can be “hot” one day and disappoint the next. Typically, Franklin Templeton Funds exhibit price to earnings ratios (P/E ratios) of two-thirds of those shown in the comparable Morgan Stanley Capital Index.
