Templeton Emerging Markets Fund (EMF) has announced its quarterly distribution details and managed distribution plan. The Fund will make quarterly distributions at a fixed rate of $0.22 per share through its Board-authorized Managed Distribution Plan.

The Plan aims to provide consistent quarterly distributions from ordinary income and short-term capital gains, while attempting to narrow the discount between market price and NAV.
