Thinking Globally: Elimination of 30% Foreign Content

Franklin Templeton Investments is a recognized leader in global investing. Our strength and knowledge enables us to offer a worldwide platform of funds for a diversified portfolio.

The 2005 federal budget contained some good news for investors looking for complete flexibility when making decisions about their RRSPs. This forward-thinking budget included the proposed elimination of the 30% foreign content limit currently in place for investments held within registered retirement savings plans, or RRSPs.

We have always believed that the key to successful investing is diversification. As Canada accounts for only 3% of the world’s market capitalization, removing the foreign content limit will give investors even greater choice and flexibility when it comes to diversifying their portfolios to meet their investment objectives.
