“We are proud to have Templeton Euroland Fund recognised in the Raging Bull Awards in two categories. This is the ninth consecutive year that Franklin Templeton has found itself amongst the recipients of the prestigious Raging Bull awards, which is a testament to the longevity and resilience of our funds in the face of an ever-shifting economic climate. Our experience in managing both regional and global portfolios ensures that South African clients have the access and opportunity to diversify their investments and grow their wealth beyond the local market. A state of local economic volatility has made global diversification and offshore investment increasingly attractive both now, and in the future.”
