arbitragr Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Anyone know what the reputation of Franklin Templeton (NYSE:BEN) is these days? A friend of mine is considering a job offer from them but is unsure about their reputation/standing these days. I think they've shifted quite a bit since Sir John passed, these days Mark Mobius is the face of BEN. They're quite well known in North America, but less so in other major financial centers (London, Europe, Asia Pacific). Didn't Prem learn a thing or two from Sir John himself? Any thoughts would be great. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HarryLong Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Mutual Series, owned by Franklin Resources, is a bit more deep value oriented. Templeton is a bit more growth oriented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsad Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 They are just merely a shadow of what they were under Templeton. For the last ten years they have been run like any other mutual fund company. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbitragr Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Thanks guys for your replies. Had a feeling that they were sort of status quo in terms of managing money. Seem to do a lot of advertising they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
