The enduring legacy of a legendary investor
Called the "greatest stock picker of the century" by Money magazine,
legendary fund manager Sir John Templeton is remembered as one of the
world's foremost investors, known for his pioneering insights and
phenomenal investment performance over a professional career which
spanned more than half a century.
Templeton's Way with Money provides a unique, professional 21st
century appraisal of what made this formidable investor the success he
was and why his methods remain as valid today as they were during his
long and successful lifetime.
Written by two investment experts, one of whom worked closely with Sir
John for ten years, and drawing on previously unpublished documents, the
book explains in detail how John Templeton's simple but effective
investment philosophy of riding out the ups and downs of the market
cycle continues to be as relevant as ever for professional and private
investors alike.
Key features include:
- A fresh and detailed reappraisal, drawing on a number of previously
unpublished documents, of the philosophy which Templeton applied to
the two phase of his investment career first as an investment counsel,
and latterly as the most successful global fund manager of his
generation
- A detailed and original study of the performance of the Templeton
Growth Fund, demonstrating in detail how Templeton achieved the Holy
Grail of investment above average returns with below average risk
- Firsthand accounts from former colleagues of their experience in
working with Templeton including those of author Alasdair Nairn's
10-year career working with and for the investment management
organization that was Templeton's life work
- Proprietary and original research which explains why Templeton's
seemingly simple investment philosophy is sure to produce exceptional
returns if implemented effectively
Current market conditions make Templeton's contrarian investment method
of profiting from pessimism particularly relevant today, and this book a
must-read for anyone working with investments.
