How good are analysts at Franklin Templeton

Hi got an offer for equitiy research at Franklin Templeton. Was wondering a couple of things

1. How does the firm compare in prestige to some of the large AM shops (Blackrock, Fidelity, Vanguard) and other prestigious shops (Capital Group, Dodge & Cox etc)

2. How does the firm compare in pay to the other shops?

3. What are the exit oppurtunities look like? Do people move around different ER shops over time, or do they move to HF PE

1. In terms of prestige Wellington, Fidelity, T-Rowe and Capital Group seem to be the most prestigious names. I think it's important to consider the specific role and coverage. Prestige is only part of what you should take into account. 

2. I don't have any insight on this however judging by your title I don't think you're going to see a very meaningful difference between any large LO. 

3. Typically LOs are the exit opportunity. If you do not like the role for whatever reason, a switch to another LO is the most realistic option. Beyond that HF/ER is a realistic exit. For reference Franklin Templeton is an Asset Manager that runs multiple long only (LO) funds. A Equity Research (ER) shop in most cases would be a bank like Goldman.
