Market cap $287M

Templeton Dragon Fund offers actively managed exposure to Chinese equities, trading at a 15.38% discount to NAV and yielding 3.38%. TDF has underperformed the MSCI China Index over the past decade, with higher volatility but a consistently higher yield than its benchmark and direct peers. The fund recently adopted a managed quarterly distribution policy, and while distributions are currently covered, investors should monitor reliance on unrealized gains.

Despite mounting macro headwinds at the start of the year, Chinese equities have continued to deliver positive performance. While near-term flows can provide further upside, the durability for the equity rally will hinge on policy choices ahead.
