Equity returns in the next three years won't be as good as the last three years, according to R Janakiraman, chief investment officer for emerging markets equity at Franklin Templeton MF.
"There will be respectable equity returns over the next three years. It will not be as good as the last three years, but it will be better than other asset classes," he said, during the launch of Franklin Templeton's multicap fund offering.
While equity returns have outpaced corporate earnings growth in recent years, investors should prepare for a potential reversal, he said.
