Templeton Global Bond Fund Important Legal Information The Fund aims to achieve total return consisting of a combination of interest income, capital appreciation, and currency gains by investing principally in fixed and floating rate debt securities and debt obligations of government and government-related issuers worldwide. The Fund may invest in emerging market securities which are exposed to higher risk of economic, political and regulatory changes that may pose additional risk to the Fund. The Fund may invest up to 100% of their total net assets in structured products, mortgage- and asset-backed securities and derivatives (such as credit default swaps, forwards and options), and is subject to significant liquidity and counterparty default risks. The Fund may invest in defaulted debt securities on which the issuers are not currently making interest payment, and as a result may be subject to liquidity and counterparty default risks. The Fund may invest in non-investment grade debt securities, and as a result may be subject to liquidity and counterparty default risks. This investment involves risks which may result in loss of part or entire amount of your investment. Investors should not invest in the Fund unless the intermediary who sells it to you has advised you that it is suitable for you and has explained how it is consistent with your investment objectives. Investors should not only base on this marketing material alone to make investment decisions. Investments are subject to investment risks, fund value may go up as well as down and past performance is not indicative of future performance. Investors should read carefully the Explanatory Memorandum (including the section "Risk Considerations") for the relevant risks associated with the investment in the fund before investing.
