Templeton stock allocation program for 2026

Date December 17th 2025.

A possible investor mentioned that he currently has 50% in bonds in order to benefit from a potential future stock market crash.

Currently on December 17th, 2025 the MSCI World index https://www.msci.com/world Level link of stocks has increased to 4 400 a price 15% higher than 3 817 last year and 67% higher than three years ago at 2 637 in October 2022. (This is in US $, in Euros this year's increase has been a bit less than 5%).

One of the investors featured in "Leer Beleggen als Warren Buffett" written by my colleagues, is Sir John Templeton.

Templeton wrote: "Whenever you can buy a large amount of future earnings for a low price, you have made a good investment." 

and

"The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy, and the time of maximum optimism is the best time to sell." https://www.franklintempleton.co.uk/resources-and-literature/templeton-maxims 

Sir John Templeton created an annual "program for his investors" who also wanted to buy at a discount.

I do that annually as well, last year on December 16, 2024. https://sinaas.blogspot.com/2024/12/sir-john-templeton-asset-allocation.html Today December 17th, the MSCI World Index (in dollars) is at 4 400, 

Based on the table made last year for today, one should have maybe 35% and not more than 40% in equities. 

(On April 8 2025, the MSCI was at 3 267. I and many fellow investors added to the ValueMachinesFund and according to the program, you then had 60% in shares. That investment has increased 35% since then ( 4 400 / 3 267) now one should take some profit.)

The program for 2026 includes an increase in the normal zone compared to 2025 of 10% (instead of 7%) because of 3% inflation and an expected increase in the value of companies.
