Strong investment outcomes don’t come from processes alone.

They’re shaped by how well investors are understood and how clearly investment observations are translated into real-world decisions.

Stephen Robertson speaks with Felicity Walsh, Head of Australia and a regional leader across Asia at Franklin Templeton, about capital raising, client engagement, and navigating today’s changing market conditions.

Drawing on her experience across global markets, Felicity shares how a technical foundation and exposure to major market cycles have shaped her approach to working with institutional investors and building long-term relationships.
