1. We review comments and reserve the right to block any comments or commenters, including those we deem inappropriate or offensive.
• Be civil. We can handle disagreement and constructive criticism but ask that you refrain from general or personal attacks, or being disrespectful of Franklin Templeton, other companies, your fellow viewers and others.

If you would like to provide feedback or receive follow-up, please write to us directly at socialmediamasteraccounts@franklintempleton.com.

Comments including, but not limited to, profane or provocative language will be excluded (which means that discriminatory, libelous, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive or derogatory content, threats or harassment, obscene or sexually explicit language) will not be tolerated.
