Templeton Emerging Markets Income Fund offers high income, exposure to emerging markets, helps protect assets against inflation, and provides liquidity. The TEI closed-end fund's past performance shows significant underperformance compared to peers, but the high yield helps offset share price losses. The fund uses leverage to boost yield, pays monthly distributions, and trades discounted to net asset value, but future performance is uncertain.

Templeton Emerging Markets Income Fund is a fixed income fund focused on emerging markets, with a mandate to invest in income-producing securities. TEI performed well in 2023 based on NAV terms, but its total returns based on market price did not fare as well. The fund's performance has worsened compared to its benchmark and its peers, and it is shrinking in size with increasing expense ratios.

The Templeton Emerging Markets Income Fund has delivered poor historical returns, with average annual returns of -1.9% over 10 years. Despite the underperformance, TEI offers a high distribution yield of 12.2%, funded through return of investors' own capital. The reliance on "rockstar" managers like Michael Hasenstab to make big bets introduces volatility and the risk of significant losses. Investors should avoid such funds.
