InvestmentNews: Q&A With Michael Hasenstab, Manager, Templeton Global Bond Fund
Is it just me, or has FrankTemp been letting MH out into the media more and more in recent weeks? You never hear from him, and now it seems I come across his name every few days. Could it be anything to do with the ongoing years-old decline in AUM for TPINX/TGBAX?

Gundlach is the darling of the media. He seeks them out, seems perturbed when they are not drooling at his every word. By contrast, Hasenstab is only in recent years been in the media. He is much less comfortable doing these things than the other two. And all you have to do is listen to him, quickly recognizing he is pretty calm and in no way focused on himself.
