Overview

The team employs a bottom-up, research-driven investment process that combines qualitative, country-by-country macroeconomic analysis with quantitative tools, and aims to pinpoint the most attractive investment opportunities across yield curves (interest rates), currencies, and sovereign credit.

The investment process leverages the broad capabilities and deep resources of Franklin Templeton Fixed Income, which has managed multi-and single-sector fixed income portfolios since 1970. The Templeton Global Macro group also draws on the local knowledge and investment expertise of Local Asset Management colleagues in markets around the world. The process incorporates regular feedback among team members, traders, risk specialists, and performance analysts.
