Introducing the Templeton Emerging Markets Fund
A core emerging markets equity building block

The US Treasury market is entering a new era. Financing government debt is becoming less about capital availability and more about the yield required to attract it.

History suggests that the Fed’s first hike is not the problem; overly aggressive tightening is. Markets have generally absorbed rate-hiking cycles well, with volatility creating opportunities for long-term investors.

Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions believes increasing market dispersion is creating attractive opportunities for hedge funds, with returns likely to be driven more by security selection and active management than broad market direction.
