  7. International Equity T E M P L E T O N Templeton’s Investment Philosophy VALUE We seek companies that we believe are trading at a discount to what our research indicates the company may be worth. PATIENCE Security prices can fluctuate more widely than underlying security values. In our opinion, market efficiencies should recognize and correct these security prices over time. BOTTOM-UP We identify value through rigorous fundamental analysis of a company’s business to determine what we consider its economic worth based on projected future earnings, cash flow or asset value potential. 7
