| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE? For the twelve months ended August 31, 2024, Class A shares of Templeton Global Smaller Companies Fund returned 17.05%. The Fund compares its performance to the MSCI All Country World Small Cap Index-NR, which returned 16.15% for the same period. PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS Top contributors to performance: ↑ Asics, Japan’s largest sporting goods manufacturer, was the strongest relative contributor as its focus on improving profit margins through better price management (fewer discounts) and reducing the production of entry-level products (better product mix) drove its share-price performance. ↑ Taiwan-based Chicony Electronics, a leading global notebook/desktop personal computer component maker, benefited from the growing work-from-home movement following the pandemic (not held at period-end). ↑ Canadian Western Bank (CWB), a commercial lender, contributed to relative performance as toward period-end the company agreed to be acquired by National Bank of Canada in an all-stock deal. The acquisition is expected to be completed by the end of 2025. Top detractors from performance: ↓ US-based Hillenbrand, a global provider of processing equipment and systems for applications such as durable plastics, food and recycling, was the top relative detractor as its shares were impacted by a revenue miss and broker downgrade during the period. ↓ US-based MGP Ingredients, a distilled spirits and food ingredients producer, also detracted from relative performance as its shares declined following a disappointing sales outlook from management. ↓ Barco, a Belgium-based company that manufactures movie projectors and other digital products, was another top detractor, with its shares down due to its reduced revenue outlook amid a much slower-than-expected economic recovery in China. | |
