TEMWX Investment Objective and Strategy
Templeton World Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Templeton Funds.
Investment objective
Long-term capital growth.
Principal investment strategy
"Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in the equity securities of companies located anywhere in the world, including developing markets. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest in issuers located in at least three different countries (including the U.S.). The equity securities in which the Fund invests are primarily common stock, and may include smaller and midsize companies. Although the investment manager will search for investments across a large number of regions, countries and sectors, from time to time, based on economic conditions, the Fund may have significant positions in particular regions, countries or sectors. The Fund intends to seek to hedge (protect) against currency risks by regularly using certain derivative instruments including currency and cross currency forwards and currency futures contracts to hedge all or substantially all of its foreign currency exposure to the U.S.
dollar. When choosing equity investments for the Fund, the investment manager applies a ""bottom-up,"" value-oriented, long-term approach, focusing on the market price of a company's securities relative to the investment manager's evaluation of the company's long-term earnings, asset value and cash flow potential. The investment manager also considers a company's price/earnings ratio, price/cash flow ratio, profit margins and liquidation value. The investment manager may consider selling an equity security when it believes the security has become overvalued due to either its price appreciation or changes in the company's fundamentals, or when the investment manager believes another security is a more attractive investment opportunity."
