Templeton Emerging Markets Income Fund ('TEI' or the 'Fund') Announces Distribution
The Fund's Board of Trustees (the 'Board') has authorized a managed distribution plan (the 'Plan') pursuant to which the Fund makes monthly distributions to shareholders at the fixed rate of $0.0475 per share. The Plan is intended to provide shareholders with consistent distributions each month and is intended to narrow the discount between the market price and the net asset value ('NAV') of the Fund's common shares, but there can be no assurance that the Plan will be successful in doing so. The Fund is managed with a goal of generating as much of the distribution as possible from net ordinary income and short-term capital gains, that is consistent with the Fund's investment strategy and risk profile. To the extent that sufficient distributable income is not available on a monthly basis, the Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital in order to maintain its managed distribution rate. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that was invested in the Fund is paid back to shareholders. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income'. Even though the Fund may realize current year capital gains, such gains may be offset, in whole or in part, by the Fund's capital loss carryovers from prior years.
The Board may amend the terms of the Plan or terminate the Plan at any time without prior notice to the Fund's shareholders. The amendment or termination of the Plan could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund's common shares. The Plan will be subject to the periodic review by the Board, including a yearly review of the fixed rate to determine if an adjustment should be made.
Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of the current distribution or from the terms of the Plan. The amounts and sources of distributions reported herein are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send a Form 1099-DIV to shareholders for the calendar year that will describe how to report the Fund's distributions for federal income tax purposes.

‘We just got lucky': How some GTA homebuyers are finding space in a changing market
A real estate agent puts up a 'sold' sign in front of a house in Toronto, on Tuesday, April 20, 2010. (Darren Calabrese / THE CANADIAN PRESS) Jon Campbell didn't expect to buy a house in Newmarket this year. He also didn't expect to postpone his wedding in Japan after having to move out of his Yonge and Eglinton condo when his landlord decided to put it on the market, or negotiate a mortgage — all at the same time. 'As you can imagine, (for) someone that's about to get married in a few months, that doesn't sound good,' Campbell said. 'I might get a call one day saying we've got to move, and we've got to move right before the wedding.' But when his landlord gave notice about intentions to sell — Campbell and his fiancée, both in their early 30s finally made a decision. They weren't going to rent again. They were going to buy — despite years of market frustration. 'We sat down and said 'OK we're going to buy... looks like there's blood on the streets from the market.'' Campbell is just one of several buyers who told CTV News Toronto they were able to seize a long-awaited opening in the housing market this summer. It comes as new figures from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board show 6,100 homes changed hands in July — up nearly 11 per cent from the same time last year and marking the busiest July since 2021. The surge came as the average selling price fell another 5.5 per cent to $1,051,719 and inventory rose more than 26 per cent across the region. For some buyers those conditions - more listings, fewer bidding wars and slightly lower prices - created what experts describe as a 'window in time.' But as to whether the shift signals the beginning of a lasting trend remains to be seen. Forced to leave the big city For Campbell and his fiancée, he says the 'real search' began this past February. With a household income of more than $200,000, they initially looked at condo townhomes in the city — but quickly ran into issues. 'The maintenance fees were ridiculous,' he said. 'All the condo towns were so small, it was going to be a five-year plan. There's no way we're going to get married, have a kid, and be in a two-bedroom, two-washroom for that long.' house toronto A new townhouse complex is under construction in Toronto on Thursday, November 3, 2016. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette (Nathan Denette/THE CANADIAN PRESS) After roughly 10 showings in Toronto, he says their agent suggested looking further north. Campbell had lived in Newmarket as a child and once they expanded their search, he says it clicked. 'It was night and day,' he said. 'We were like 'OK, now we're talking space.'' They found a freehold townhouse listed at $850,000, made an offer and had it accepted the same night they viewed it. 'We went to go see the property. Fell in love. We offered them $850K the same day… We closed at 12:30 a.m. Saturday night,' Campbell said. 'Someone on my street just sold for $880K. So we got a perfect deal, the perfect property. I didn't think this existed.' A 'stress-free' transaction Other buyers who wrote to CTV News say the experience has changed dramatically from the peak of the market frenzy in 2021. Peter Amelunxen and his wife had rented near Toronto's Mimico neighbourhood with their three children since returning to Canada in April 2020. After years of watching the market and walking away from 'blind bidding wars,' he says they finally found the right property this summer. 'With the cooling market, our recent purchase has gone very smoothly, was stress-free, and the whole family is excited to move into our beautiful new house,' he said. The couple bid slightly over asking and got a fast acceptance. 'We gave the seller a couple hours to make up his mind, and he accepted the offer right away,' Amelunxen said. 'Our real estate agent… said about a year ago, when he would have shown the house, he would have had to sit in the car and make the offer right away, because he wouldn't have had time to drive back to the office before another one came in. Now… houses are sitting for a week or two. It makes it a lot less stressful," he added. A 'window in time,' says one expert While July sales were up, the months leading up to that moment painted a less rosy picture. Sales in April, May, and June were down year-over-year, and many buyers had remained on the sidelines amid uncertainty surrounding interest rates and the U.S.-Canada trade war. Last week, the Bank of Canada held interest rates steady for a third time, a move seen by some as a sign of stability — though the future of further rate cuts remains unclear. For Campbell, that balance mattered. 'I didn't want to get priced out of the market,' he said. 'I would say the biggest factor was definitely interest rates. I was like, I'm not paying five per cent when the interest rates are going down. I'm going to try and get in a sweet spot where interest rates are a little bit high, but they're affordable and the price is down.' Cailey Heaps, president and CEO of the Heaps Estrin Team real estate brokerage, said that logic tracks with what she is hearing from clients. 'More listings plus slightly softened prices have created opportunity, prompting many long-waiting buyers to act,' she said. 'We're not seeing bargain-basement pricing, but buyers are enjoying something closer to control.' Jason Mercer, Chief Information Officer for the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board, says while July's numbers look promising, 'one month doesn't make a trend.' 'If we see a couple more months moving into the fall, where we're seeing sales up in comparison to last year... then that would add credence to the argument that we are starting to see more people move off the sidelines.' Jason Mercer Jason Mercer, Chief Information Officer for the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board speaks to CP24 (CP24 file photo). Still, Mercer emphasizes the need for more diverse housing types to meet demand and prevent future affordability issues. In addition, it should be noted that one report by last month suggested that home affordability deteriorated in 12 of 13 major markets in June. In Toronto, said that you had to have a household income of $206,500 to afford the average home in June, up more than $1,600 from the previous month. The average household income in Toronto is $129,000, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation data. 'What we're seeing now feels like a window in time more than a long-term trend Heaps said.' 'The fall will be a testing ground—will motivated sellers meet motivated buyers?' A 'picture-perfect situation' CTV News also heard from buyers who said their recent home hunting experiences were notably less chaotic than in past years — citing fewer bidding wars, more choice, and less urgency to act. 'Buying our house was actually a picture-perfect situation,' Campbell said. 'I didn't think it exists.' With a three-bedroom, three-washroom townhouse near the GO train, Campbell says he and his fiancée feel like they're exactly where they need to be — even if it took a shift in expectations to get there. 'It was just the right opportunity at the right time,' he said. 'We just got lucky.'

U of A looking for help to manage assets, cut its physical footprint
The University of Alberta is looking for someone to help it decide which assets to keep and let go of in the coming years, as it aims to reduce its physical footprint by up to 30 per cent. A request for proposals (RFP) outlines the university's need to manage a fast-growing student population and a sprawling inventory of infrastructure and land. It cites a strategic plan, released in April, that states the U of A needs to assess its infrastructure needs to remain financially sustainable. The U of A is seeking services to assemble a series of master plans to make sure its assets are used efficiently, a university spokesperson said in a statement to CBC News. "These plans will identify how to best use current assets, what will be needed in the future, and what needs to change — all within the university's current footprint," the statement read. The university faces "a number of competing priorities in a challenging fiscal environment," its space and facilities webpage says. The U of A estimates its deferred maintenance will total more than $1 billion by the end of the year. The RFP said the university manages nearly 1.63 square kilometres of land, and more than 400 buildings — more than 60 per cent of which are over 40 years old. "This is one of the largest volumes of buildings across the greatest land base of Canadian universities," the RFP said, adding that the U of A has the most space per student among Canada's U15 institutions — the country's top research universities. Developing the master plans is expected to take two years, as the university works toward its goal of enrolling 60,000 students by 2033. The goal is to analyze how much space the university has, how much it should have, and what it will need to accommodate that many students. It's looking for recommended steps, such as identifying which buildings are best suited for consolidation. In the strategic plan, a map shows the intentions for campus infrastructure over the next 10 years. Several structures slated for disposal include the administration, human ecology and clinical sciences buildings. Others, like the Humanities Centre and some of the older homes leased to fraternities, are marked as needing future study. The university announced it would be terminating lease agreements with multiple fraternities in the spring. Universities across the country are figuring out how to efficiently use campus space, particularly amid financial pressures from dwindling international student enrolment and a sustained decline in government investment, said Gabriel Miller, president and CEO of Universities Canada, an advocacy group. But historically, he said, infrastructure was more of a team effort between universities and government. "Governments have been reluctant to play their role in that partnership," Miller said. Miller said, during a time of renewed focus on national infrastructure projects, helping universities modernize and grow needs to be part of the conversation. "Universities build roads. They provide water services. Oftentimes their recreation facilities are shared with the community," he said. "There's no reason why these anchors of our community shouldn't be eligible for community infrastructure investments." This isn't the first time the U of A has had to take a hard look at its infrastructure footprint alongside cost pressures. It sold the historic Ring Houses to a development company for materials in 2021. It demolished and sold off the Mactaggart mansion — which had been donated by a local philanthropist — because it couldn't afford to maintain the property. That space is set to become Edmonton's first Nordic spa. In 2022, the university expressed intention to remove the brutalist Humanities building, along Saskatchewan Drive, from its inventory because of mounting deferred maintenance.

Want $1 Million In Retirement? Invest $250,000 in These 3 Stocks and Wait a Decade.
Key Points Amazon is leveraging growth from numerous key sources, including its booming cloud business. Reddit is leaning into its flagship ad business and newer sources of growth to drive profits forward. Joby Aviation could revolutionize the eVTOL space, and is getting ever closer to commercialization. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › While $1 million may be a comfortable retirement goal for some investors, it's essential to personalize your savings target based on your specific circumstances and objectives for your life in your golden years. Even as there are multiple ways of shoring up your financial life to plan for a more secure future in retirement, building up a profitable stock portfolio is one key component you shouldn't overlook. No investment, regardless of how quality the underlying business, is totally impervious to the ups and downs of the market. However, if you have a larger amount such as $250,000 to put to work into fantastic businesses, it isn't a far stretch of the imagination that you could turn that investment capital into $1 million in roughly a decade. In fact, with a starting amount of $250,000, that would require an annualized return of roughly 15%, which is just a bit higher than the average annual S&P 500 10-year return, including dividends (approximately 13%). As you look to grow your personal nest egg to or above $1 million, here are three stocks to consider for your basket of buys that could warrant part or all of a $250,000 investment. Alternatively, you could distribute that $250,000 investment capital equally across these three stocks. Diversification is key for any stock market portfolio, so you can capitalize on the maximum sources of growth in your portfolio in a variety of stock market environments. 1. Amazon Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) remains a dominant force in several key markets, including online retail as well as cloud computing (AWS), and is bolstering a growing presence in newer arenas like digital advertising. Notably, AWS is the leading cloud provider and a major source of profitability for Amazon. Despite some concerns about slowing growth compared to competitors, AWS revenue continues to increase and benefits from the rising demand for cloud infrastructure and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. Amazon's advertising business is expanding rapidly too, fueled by its vast customer base and integration across its ecosystem (e.g., Prime Video, Twitch). Even though this segment still represents a relatively small portion of the company's overall net sales, this is the company's fastest-growing segment and could become increasingly important for the company's overall financial health in the next decade. Of course, Amazon remains the largest online retailer globally and accounts for about 40% of U.S. retail e-commerce sales alone. In Amazon's Q2 2025, the company delivered a 13% year-over-year increase in net sales to $167.7 billion, while operating income rose 31% to $19.2 billion. AWS saw a 17.5% year-over-year increase in revenue to $30.9 billion. While Amazon's North America segment saw an 11% increase in sales to $100.1 billion, the International segment delivered a 16% increase to $36.8 billion. Another bright spot was Amazon's advertising business, which climbed 23% year over year to $15.7 billion. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $1.68, up 33% year over year. AWS remains a dominant force in the rapidly expanding cloud computing market. This market is projected for significant growth that could reach nearly $2 trillion by 2030 globally, driven by technologies like AI and machine learning. AWS is investing heavily in AI infrastructure, with planned capital expenditures exceeding $100 billion in 2025. This positions AWS to expand rapidly based on the increasing adoption of AI workloads and cloud-based AI solutions. It's conceivable that Amazon's role in the forefront of AI innovation, its flagship e-commerce business, and advertising presence are among the myriad of factors that could drive multibagger returns for shareholders over the next decade and well beyond. 2. Reddit Reddit (NYSE: RDDT) is often called the "front page of the internet." As a popular social news and discussion website where users share links, posts, and images, which are then voted on and commented on within specific communities called subreddits, Reddit is known for its vast array of forums, covering almost every topic imaginable. From niche interests to general news and entertainment, the platform is a place for Redditors around the globe to converge and participate in all manner of discussion. Reddit boasts a highly engaged global user base, with over 110.4 million daily active users as of Q2 2025. User growth has been particularly strong, with daily active unique visitors climbing 21% year over year in Q2. Reddit's efforts to expand internationally with machine translation, which is now available in 23 languages, are widening the potential reach of the platform. Advertising forms the core of Reddit's revenue at this point, generating $465 million in Q2 2025, up 84% year over year and accounting for 93% of the total revenue. Reddit's ability to offer advertisers highly targeted audiences within specific interest-based subreddits provides a compelling value proposition, which continues to lead to increased advertiser adoption and revenue growth. Beyond advertising, Reddit is actively exploring new revenue sources, like data licensing. The platform's vast archive of user-generated content is a valuable asset for training AI models, and Reddit has successfully forged partnerships with major players like Alphabet 's Google and OpenAI to license this data. Data licensing generated $35 million in revenue for Reddit in Q2 2025, a 24% increase from one year ago. Reddit's growing user base, robust advertising business, and valuable data assets paint a picture of a business still in the early stages of its growth story despite a company history that already spans two decades. The company's recent turn to profitability also bodes well for its financial health, bolstered by its asset-light, sticky business. All these factors could drive considerable financial growth and lead to share price appreciation in the next decade-plus. 3. Joby Aviation While the previous two picks on this list are established businesses with well-outlined revenue and profit streams, Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY) definitely falls into the category of a high-risk and potentially very high-reward stock. Joby is still pre-revenue and burning significant cash, but the future for this company could be bright indeed if it achieves its long-term business ambitions. The company is focused on manufacturing and commercializing all-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for air taxi services. Joby is currently developing a four-passenger, piloted aircraft designed for vertical takeoff and landing, similar to a helicopter, but transitioning to forward flight like a plane. It plans to generate revenue through multiple avenues, including operating its own air taxi service, selling aircraft to other operators, and potentially offering transportation services to government agencies. As both an operator and a manufacturer, Joby could take a vertically integrated approach to urban air mobility. Joby already partnered with various companies, including Toyota, Delta, and Uber, to develop and deploy its air taxi service. Joby also has a significant contract with the Air Force, under which it will deliver and operate up to nine of its eVTOL aircraft to this and other federal agencies. As of mid-2025, the company has entered the final stage for certification by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for commercial passenger operations. Joby also just acquired Blade Air Mobility 's passenger business to accelerate commercialization of its eVTOL aircraft, a move that provides immediate access to Blade's existing network of vertiports, customer base, and operational expertise. Blade's existing customer base, which included over 50,000 passengers in 2024, also offers a significant head start for Joby in building demand for its eVTOL services. Joby is a leading contender in the eVTOL space, which is projected to become a trillion-dollar industry. Being an early mover with a strong technology and regulatory lead could translate to significant market share and profitability, which could also propel shares to soar a lot higher in the coming decade and beyond.
