Templeton Dragon Fund

Templeton Dragon Fund, Inc. is a closed-end mutual fund designed to provide investors with long-term capital appreciation through targeted exposure to "China companies"—firms that are listed on exchanges in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, or elsewhere, but are expected to benefit from developments in the Chinese economy. Managed by Franklin Templeton Investments, the fund allocates at least 45% of its assets to equity securities in these markets, reflecting a focused investment approach within the Greater China region. Established in 2001, Templeton Dragon Fund, Inc. is known for employing a fundamental, value-oriented investment strategy that seeks to identify companies with strong prospects tied to China’s ongoing economic evolution. The fund typically features a concentrated portfolio, with its top ten holdings comprising a significant share of total assets, offering investors high exposure to select opportunities in Asia’s largest economy. The fund’s structure and active management aim to offer a tailored vehicle for accessing China’s dynamic growth sectors while balancing long-term risk and reward considerations for shareholders.
