He remains on the portfolio management team of the trust (TEMIT).〔Wadhwa, Puneet. ("Mark Mobius to step down as lead manager of Templeton EM Investment Trust" ), ''Business Standard'', 14 July 2015. Accessed 26 August 2015.〕 ==Biography== Joseph Benhard Mark Mobius was born to German and Puerto-Rican parents in Hempstead, New York. He earned his B.A. and M.S. in Communications from Boston University, and received a Ph.D in economics from MIT in 1964.〔http://alum.mit.edu〕 He also studied at the University of Wisconsin, University of New Mexico, and Kyoto University in Japan. He joined Templeton in 1987 as president of the Templeton Emerging Markets Fund (), a closed-end mutual fund, and there integrated his knowledge of new international markets with Sir John Templeton's disciplined, long-term approach to investing. This was the first emerging market equity fund available to US investors, and Mobius' one key condition to take on this challenge was that Templeton must open its first emerging market office, which it did in Hong Kong.〔''Emerging Markets Magazine'', October 2007.〕 His current duties include managing over 50 closed-end and open-end mutual funds worldwide including 17 offices overseas.〔(Franklin Templeton UK ) Mark Mobius: Manager Biography〕 Before joining Templeton, Mobius worked at international securities firm Vickers-da-Costa, and later was president of International Investment Trust Company in Taipei, Taiwan. He once ran an independent consulting company that marketed, among other things, Snoopy cartoon merchandise. Born a U.S. citizen, Mobius was also entitled to German citizenship by descent. He renounced his U.S. citizenship and is now a German citizen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mark Mobius」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
