The Case for Active Management
The Templeton Emerging Markets Group believe that being present in these local markets and building relationships with local business leaders provides them with an edge, helping them to differentiate the winners from the losers and specifically to be able to assess risks better through the kind of local perspective which gives us a very good understanding of where both the upsides and the risks lie within those business models.
We actively control our weightings to any one country, sector or market to avoid the concentration risks inherent in a market weighted index. For example, the top three countries in MSCI Emerging Markets Index account for more than half of the Index performance.
