The Templeton Fund was founded by John Templeton, a recognized genius in the investment field. But he retired a few years ago and his company was purchased by the Franklin Company. btw, this fund is a "load" fund which means that there is a commission built into the price. Compare Asking Price vs Bid Price. Check out the "no load" funds (Vanguard, Rowe-Price, American Century, etc) before investing.

No.
Franklin Templeton is a very good "loaded" mutual fund company. I believe the American Funds are a better "loaded" group.
Personally I don't buy any loaded funds. Just way too expensive when I can purchase a "no-load" and save 5.75% or more.
The only reason to buy a "loaded fund"; You can't/won't work without a "financial adviser".
