Franklin Templeton Investments is launching a series of new funds within its Franklin Templeton Investment Funds. One of these funds features companies in Panama as part of its range of investments. Templeton specializes in finding small cap, under researched companies in emerging markets. Panama has had in recent years an impressive growth rate in and around 10 percent per year.

Templeton expects Panama’s growth rate to end 2008 at 7 percent despite economic problems in the rest of the world. Templeton invests in companies in countries such as Panama when the companies are unnoticed and not researched. By the time the rest of the investment community catches on Templeton Funds typically have grown several fold. Templeton’s interest in Panama is a measure of Panama’s investment potential for years to come.

Templeton Investment in Panama

In a October 26, 2008 news release Franklin Templeton announced several new funds. According to Templeton, "the four new funds are diversified strategies, which will give investors having a long-term view, a great opportunity in the current market environment to invest at very attractive valuations."

The economies in which Templeton plans to invest have, "rising per capita income, a growing middle-class, increasing consumer demand and continued reforms that are improving the business and investment sectors."

Templeton believes that, "Within this environment, small-cap companies have the potential to deliver substantial capital appreciation as they develop into well-established, large-sized companies. Investment[s] in smaller companies [in this type of emerging economy] are consistent with Templeton’s time-tested philosophy of investing in overlooked and under-researched stocks until their intrinsic values are reached. We believe, this greatly unexplored asset class provides a substantial opportunity for us to apply our vast emerging markets research capabilities to the small-cap arena.”

Investing with a farsighted company such as Templeton allows one to tap into the growth of emerging markets. The problem with such investment is the dilution of profits seen with all the overhead involved. If Panama is a great place to invest why not make your investments directly.
