About TEFRX
Templeton Foreign Fund Class R is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies located outside the United States. Managed by Templeton Global Advisors Limited and part of the Franklin Templeton family, the fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets to foreign securities, including opportunities in both developed and emerging markets. Its portfolio strategy emphasizes large-cap value stocks, selecting international companies characterized by lower valuations and higher dividend yields relative to their peers. The fund is structured for retirement accounts and appeals to investors seeking diversification outside the U.S. equity markets. By maintaining a broad geographic reach—spanning regions such as Europe, Asia, and developing economies—the fund plays a significant role in enabling global diversification and exposure to international growth trends for participants in retirement plans and other long-term investment vehicles.
