FE Trustnet verdict
Overall, performing about the same as the peer group composite. However, over a long track record, the manager has, period by period, over- and under-performed roughly equally. Stockpicking has not really benefited results, which have not been particularly exposed to falling markets.
Manager profile
John W. Beck, co-director of international fixed income in London for the Franklin Templeton Fixed Income Group, is responsible for managing portfolios for major institutions, comprising multinational pension funds and supranational organizations. Mr. Beck is a member of the Global Investment Forum. Prior to joining the firm in 1990, Mr. Beck was with Saudi International Bank for three years.

Performance vs peer group composite: John Beck
How a manager matches up against his peers gives you some idea of how talented he is. Very few managers perform equally well in rising and falling markets, so knowing which type of market a manager is capable of performing well within is also important.
