Firm History
In 2001, Lauren Templeton founded Templeton Capital Management, LLC, a value investing boutique based in Atlanta GA. Beginning with $30M in seed capital from investment legend Sir John Templeton, the firm launched managing a group of long/short equity and concentrated long-only equity strategies on behalf of Sir John and his philanthropies. In 2007, the firm relocated to Chattanooga, TN, and also began managing long-only separately managed accounts for high-net-worth individuals and institutions outside of the Templeton philanthropies.
Applying the same strategies and methods learned under the mentorship of Sir John, the firm added global and international strategies for concentrated long-only portfolios. In 2014, Scott Phillips became a principal and Chief Investment Officer with the firm, known today as Templeton and Phillips Capital Management, LLC. Throughout its growth and over the years, the firm continues to serve high net worth individuals and institutions through the management of separate accounts, investment consulting, and its role as the manager of the Templeton and Phillips Partners Fund, LLC.
