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.
