About the Templeton Maxims

Sir John Templeton - founder of the Templeton organisation - is regarded as one of the world's wisest and most respected investors.

Forbes magazine has described him as "the dean of global investing," and "one of the most successful money managers in history".

These principles are among those that Sir John considers to be of enduring value to investors.

Sir John Templeton has retired and is no longer involved in the investment decisions made by the organisation he founded. Templeton fund managers, however, still follow the investment principles he laid down.
