Lauren C. Templeton
Author of International Best-Seller "Investing The Templeton Way"
Lauren C. Templeton is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Templeton & Phillips Capital Management, LLC. Prior to founding the firm in 2001, Lauren was employed with Morgan Stanley, Homrich Berg, and New Providence Advisors, a hedge fund management company, based in Atlanta, GA.
“Author of “Investing the Templeton Way: the Market Beating Strategies of Value Investing's Legendary Bargain Hunter”, Lauren is also the great niece of Sir John M. Templeton and is a current member of the John M. Templeton Foundation, established in 1987 by renowned international investor, Sir John Templeton. She began investing as a child under the heavy influence of her father as well as her late great-uncle, Sir John Templeton.
About Sir John Templeton
Sir John Marks Templeton was born in 1912, in the small town of Winchester, Tennessee. He attended Yale University and graduated near the top of his class and as President of Phi Beta Kappa. He was named a Rhodes Scholar to Balliol College at Oxford, from which he graduated with a degree in law.
Templeton started his Wall Street career in 1938 and went on to create some of the world’s largest and most successful international investment funds. He was famous for picking companies that hit “points of maximum pessimism” (ie. Rock bottom prices). When war began in Europe in 1939, he borrowed money to buy 100 shares each in 104 companies selling at one dollar per share or less, including 34 companies that were in bankruptcy. Only four turned out to be worthless, and he turned large profits on the others.
Templeton established the Templeton Growth Fund in 1954. With dividends reinvested, each $10,000 invested in the Templeton Growth Fund Class A at its inception would have grown to $2 million by 1992. He eventually sold the family of Templeton Funds to the Franklin Group — scores of them with $13 billion in assets — in 1992, and turned to philanthropies that had engaged him for decades.

OUR GRADUATES
Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequently asked questions and answers
Q. I have a keen interest to invest but I have no investment knowledge. Where Should I start?
Having mentored thousands of people across 10 different countries, we’ve come up with a step-by-step process that works. The system caters to everyone — men and women, young and old.
Many of our students who started as complete beginners have progressed to investing like seasoned investors in a short amount of time, just by following the steps laid out in the program.
Q. Why should I learn Value Investing?
Value Investing has proved its worth, time and time again in its 100-year history. It’s the powerhouse strategy that made Warren Buffett one of the richest people in the world and turned Berkshire Hathaway into a $500 billion company.
Understanding the theory and methodology behind Value Investing will allow you to buy and sell stock with greater confidence, knowing that you have acquired safe and profitable stocks. When you are a knowledgeable investor, you can equip yourself with the most important piece of knowledge you need in life and take back control of your financial destiny.
Q. Who are ViA programmes suitable for?
The Value Investing Masterclass is for you if:
You Have Zero Experience – Many of my students started with no investing knowledge but were able to pick up the knowledge and create a lasting solid portfolio that generates passive income streams.
You Are A New Investor – Get ahead of your peers by starting your investment on the right track. Learn to avoid the mistakes commonly made by new investors.
You Are An Experienced Investor – Ready to discover how Value Investing can optimize your investment portfolio? Create new streams of passive income and accelerate your path.
You Are A Seasoned Investor – Looking for a different perspective and strategy on Value Investing? You’re ready to sharpen your stock-picking skills further and generate the highest-possible return on investment.
Q: There are so many so-called wealth experts and gurus out there, I feel really overwhelmed with all the information out there. Which advice do I listen to and who can I trust?
One should start with finding someone who has a proven process that already works and have achieved the results that you want to achieve.
Aside from that, the person must also be willing to impart knowledge over to you. A good mentor should help guide you in identifying where you went wrong and direct you in the right path towards your goals.
Q. I'm worried I don't have enough money to get started with investing.
The truth is you can start investing with just a few hundred dollars or less. In Singapore Exchange (SGX), an investor can invest in a quantum of one lot which is 100 shares. If a share costs $1, your capital will be $100.
In New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), you can buy a minimum of just 1 share. If one stock costs US$40, that is cheaper than a single full-course meal in a restaurant.
Q: Do I need a lot of capital and time to go into investing? If the returns are high, are the risks high as well?
This is a common misconception that I address with my students all the time. Having studied with the top professors who specializes in the field of investing and worked with numerous millionaire investors, I came to the following conclusion;
The knowledge of investing may be commonly known by most investors but the REAL science behind is rarely, truly understood.
The actual truth is that you can start with just a small amount of capital. You need only put aside a small amount of time daily to carry out a few specific tasks.
If done right, investing CAN be both low risk and high returns.
Q. Can I become a millionaire by investing? How fast will I see my first return?
In spite of what you heard from financial experts about the power of value investing, it is not a get-rich-quick method. While it is possible for many, not everyone will become a millionaire, simply because it takes time and discipline. In the masterclass, I share 4 factors for reaching the level of financial status most people can only dream about.
On the other hand, Cash Flow Options Strategy (CFOS) is one of the techniques we can use to generate shorter-term returns. Once you master the technique, most will start seeing returns immediately.
Q: I am unsure on which stock to invest or if I should even attempt to invest. I know that my potential decision could either make me money or severely risk the financial well-being of my family and loved ones.
The learning objective of a savvy investor is to know how to pick high performing investment stocks. By following just a simple 2 minute formula, you will be able to screen high value stock out of thousands with ease.
Stock investment will no longer seem like a high risk gamble but a well-thought through progression of steps that one follows with confidence and certainty.
Q. I already started investing and have questions whether to buy a stock or about my portfolio or stocks that I own.
If you are unsure of whether to buy a particular stock, or what to do about the stocks that you already own, you can consider coming for our Value Investing Masterclass where we will touch on what makes a stock a good purchase, when is the best time to buy or sell a stock and how to build a weather-proof portfolio. Registration is currently free for a limited time, up. SG$199.
