Investing Q&A

Q: I invested on 5/6/10 over $230K into Templeton Global Bond Fund Class C as advised by a financial adviser. I will incur a 1% charge if I close the acct within one year. I'm 77 and the funds are from my matured IRA, which was getting 2% one year. Is this a wise investment? or should I have placed it in other more secure portfolio fund? As of today (7/29) the account has always been in the red. Currently about 2% of my total. I don't need the income, I have other assets that are relatively liquid. Total investments exceed $1M. Your thoughts are appreciated.
