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.

THE ECONOMY AND EQUITY MARKETS

  • Global equity markets rallied during the third quarter, as investors shed fears about high energy prices,

inflation pressures and rising interest rates.

  • The equity market rally, while geographically global in nature, was more selective on a sector basis. In

general, investors sold stocks in cyclically geared sectors, all of which had performed strongly over the previous several quarters, and bought in more defensive areas of the market.

  • Strongest performing sectors during the quarter were utilities, telecom and consumer staples. Weakest

performing sectors were energy and materials (driven by metals & mining).

  • Strongest performing developed markets were Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands. Emerging Markets

were strong for the quarter with Egypt, the Philippines, Colombia, Indonesia, India and Mexico all up more than 15%. Weakest performing developed markets were Norway, Japan and Finland.

COMMODITIES

  • Oil prices fell from peak levels during the quarter largely driven by: demand risk in the U.S., the easing
  • f some of the Middle East geo-political risks and the fact that there was no significant hurricane

activity in the Gulf during the quarter.

UNITED STATES

  • The pause in interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve led to renewed optimism that higher interest

rates would not stifle U.S. and global economic growth.

  • The U.S. dollar rose against the euro and yen during the quarter.

Market Summary

slide-13
SLIDE 13

EUROPE

  • European equities surged during the quarter boosted by easing inflationary fears, increased

consumer confidence and business sentiment that held up better than expected.

  • The European Union approved Bulgaria and Romania for inclusion in the union (under strict

conditions) in January 2007.

JAPAN

  • The Bank of Japan introduced its first interest-rate hike during the quarter, moving rates 0.5%.

The impact on markets was small as the hike had been forecast. However, the movement signaled a new phase of possible interest-rate increases for the BOJ.

  • Japan’s new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe took over after five-and-a-half years of the Koizumi

administration.

EMERGING MARKETS

  • The Middle East crisis in Lebanon and Northern Israel ended with a ceasefire on August 14th after

five weeks of fighting between Hezbollah and the Israeli military.

  • Thailand suffered its first coup in 15 years, ousting Prime Minister Sinawatra from office. Retired

General Chulanont was sworn in as Thailand’s interim Prime Minister.

OUTLOOK

  • We are optimistic that even in the context of slower growth around the world, the valuation themes

we identified over the past few quarters should continue to provide a positive outcome for the portfolios.

  • In addition, equity markets will continue to periodically overreact to perceptions, fears and

newsflow and punish stocks indiscriminately. This will give us future opportunities to buy undervalued stocks at prices that would typically not materialize in a more stable environment.

For the portfolio, the Price to Earnings, Price to Cash Flow, and Price to Book Value calculations for the weighted average use harmonic means. Values less than 0.01 (i.e., negative values) are excluded and values in excess of 200x are capped at 200x. Yields above 100% are also excluded. For the benchmark, no limits are applied to these ratios in keeping with the benchmark’s calculation methodology. Market capitalization statistics are indicated in the base currency for the portfolio presented. Due to data limitations all equity holdings are assumed to be the primary equity issue (usually the ordinary or common shares) of each security’s issuing company. This methodology may cause small differences between the portfolio’s reported characteristics and the portfolio’s actual characteristics. In practice, Franklin Templeton’s portfolio managers invest in the class or type of security which they believe is most appropriate at the time of purchase. The market capitalization figures for both the portfolio and the benchmark are the security level, not aggregated up to the main issuer. The dividend yield quoted here should not be used as an indication of the income to be received from this portfolio.
