Mr. Scott joined the Templeton organization in 1996 as an equity analyst.  Over the next two decades he had research responsibility for a variety of global industries including: commercial services, internet software, mining, paper, transportation, electrical equipment, wireless telecom, and diversified financials.  Within these coverage areas, Mr. Scott performed rigorous bottom-up fundamental analysis, with a focus on European and Asian companies.

 

In 1999, Mr. Scott became Lead Portfolio Manager of the $2 Billion Templeton Global Smaller Companies Fund which he managed until August 2007.  Morningstar recognized Mr. Scott as the top global small cap fund manager during this eight-year period and ranked him as the top performer in the global peer group.
