Associated equity: Templeton Emerging Markets Investment Trust
Launched in June 1989, Templeton Emerging Markets Investment Trust was one of the first emerging markets funds in the UK. The trust seeks long-term capital appreciation through investment in companies operating in emerging markets or listed on the stock markets of such countries. This may include companies that have a significant amount of their revenues in emerging markets but are listed on stock exchanges in developed countries. Performance is benchmarked against the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

Edison’s investment companies team recently published a review of Templeton Emerging Markets Investment Trust (known as TEMIT). Its managers Chetan Sehgal and Andrew Ness believe that emerging markets offer an attractive opportunity for investors as they consider they are under-owned, underestimated and undervalued. TEMIT’s board does not believe that the trust’s persistently wide discount reflects its strong long-term outperformance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, so has increased the scale of returns to investors via a combination of share repurchases, dividends and a conditional tender offer, along with a reduction in management fees. Sehgal and Ness seek companies with sustainable earnings power that are trading at a discount to their intrinsic worth. They are not constrained by benchmark allocations, which is evidenced by an overweight exposure to South Korea and underweight positions in India and China.
