About FTESX

Templeton Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund Class R is an open-end mutual fund focused on delivering long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in small-cap companies within emerging market economies. The fund targets at least 80% of its net assets toward equities of smaller firms, which are typically defined by lower market capitalization and higher potential for growth compared to larger counterparts. Its portfolio consists of approximately 100 holdings, with the top ten investments accounting for around one-third of total assets, illustrating a diversified yet concentrated approach to stock selection. Managed by Franklin Templeton, the fund spans multiple sectors including financial services, technology, industrials, consumer cyclicals, and healthcare, offering broad exposure to dynamic and rapidly developing markets. The strategy is designed to capitalize on the unique growth opportunities present within smaller businesses in countries undergoing economic transformation. With a solid management team and a process emphasizing quality and market potential, this fund serves investors seeking diversified international exposure to high-growth segments within emerging regions.
