Newsflow on the US-China trade dispute drove alternating optimism and pessimism throughout the quarter. Concerns about the pace of US interest-rate hikes and signs of slowing economic growth around the world also weighed on sentiment. Emerging market stocks fared much better than their developed-market peers, which sold off across the board. Major US stock indexes saw widespread declines for the quarter amid doubts about the country s trade policy and the strength of the global economy. In Europe, though tensions eased between the European Union and Italy 1. Periods of more than one year are annualised. Past performance is not an indicator or a guarantee of future performance.

Templeton Composite regarding the country s budget plans, continued Brexit uncertainty, concerns about the pace of US interest-rate increases and mixed corporate earnings affected investor outlooks. The Bank of Japan stated that it would likely keep the current low levels of short- and long-term interest rates for an extended period of time. Performance Attribution The composite underperformed its benchmark, the, in the fourth quarter, which was largely attributable to stock selection in the financials, health care and consumer discretionary sectors. Financials sector holdings were led lower by banks in the United States and Europe. We continued gradually repositioning our financials portfolio in 2018 to consolidate and rationalize holdings amid heightened uncertainty. In Europe, we have selectively reduced exposure to a handful of domestically focused banks with concentrated political risk. The health care sector remains attractive to us at this point in the cycle. Unlike other defensive sectors such as consumer staples and utilities, health care appears to be less of a simple bond proxy, offering defensiveness independent of interest rate fluctuations. The sector also offers growth possibilities through innovation and untapped market potential. An underweight in the information technology sector and stock selection in the industrials sector contributed to relative performance for the quarter. We believe valuations in some parts of the technology sector remain dramatically divorced from underlying fundamentals, increasing the odds of poor returns over a long-term horizon. Regionally, stock selection in the United States detracted significantly from quarterly performance. Stock selection in Japan contributed. Outlook and Strategy Looking ahead, we see scope for continued moderate global growth as China is likely to undertake stimulus measures and as the US Federal Reserve and European Central Bank navigate their respective economic cycles. While valuations look extended in some parts of the equity market (albeit less so following fourth-quarter weakness), we also see pockets of opportunity, particularly outside the United States. Volatility is likely to remain elevated given rising late-cycle risks, and the resultant dislocations should continue to present opportunities for disciplined stock-pickers. The policy backdrop is also an important consideration given nascent efforts to normalize what has been extraordinarily accommodative central bank policy. Going forward, we continue to believe the process of monetary policy normalization is likely to drive a rotation away from expensive growth stocks to the benefit of beaten-down value shares.

Templeton Composite Important Legal Information Templeton claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS ). Templeton (or the firm ) as defined encompasses the wholly-owned investment management subsidiaries of Templeton Worldwide, Inc. with global, international, single country or regional, and emerging market equity investment objectives, serving both retail and institutional clients. The firm definition for Templeton does not include the foreign-domiciled investment advisory subsidiaries of Templeton Worldwide, Inc. that primarily offer only locally registered investment mandates or funds and the wrap-fee and non-wrap-fee accounts managed by Templeton Separately Managed Accounts (formerly Templeton Portfolio Advisers). Each investment advisory subsidiary within Templeton employs the same bottom-up, valueoriented investment style whether managing global equity, non-u.s. equity, single country or regional equity, or emerging market equity mandates. Portfolio managers pursuing similar investment mandates share research, have equivalent access to Templeton s bargain and source of funds lists, and are subject to the same peer review process. Templeton believes that the performance shown is representative of its management style and relevant for consideration in selecting any individual investment advisory subsidiary comprising Templeton. Some of the individual investment management subsidiaries which comprise Templeton, however, may have limited or no accounts included in the composite. Effective 1 December 2017, the equity accounts previously defined as Franklin Europe are included in Templeton s firm definition. The Templeton Composite consists of all discretionary tax-exempt institutional portfolios managed by Templeton with global equity investment objectives. No account(s) in the composite use leverage or derivatives other than the use of forward foreign currency contracts in conjunction with the normal settlement of security trades in currencies other than the base currency of each account. As a result, leverage or derivatives do not have a material affect on returns. Total returns are presented in euros both gross and net of investment advisory fees, are inclusive of commissions and transaction costs, and assume reinvestment of any dividends, interest income, capital gains, or other earnings. Periods greater than one year are shown as average annual total returns. Performance data is shown rounded to the nearest hundredth. The returns presented for periods prior to 1 January 1994 are not in compliance with the GIPS standards. Past performance is not an indicator or a guarantee of future performance. When performance for either the portfolio or its benchmark has been converted, different foreign exchange closing rates may be used between the portfolio and its benchmark.
