This material should not be construed as individual investment advice or offer or solicitation to buy, sell or hold any shares of fund or security or to adopt any investment strategy. The information provided for any individual security mentioned is not a sufficient basis upon which to make an investment decision. Investments involves risks. Value of investments may go up as well as down and past performance is not an indicator or a guarantee of future performance. The investment returns are calculated on NAV to NAV basis, taking into account of reinvestments and capital gain or loss. The investment returns are denominated in stated currency, which may be a foreign currency other than USD and HKD (“other foreign currency”). US/HK dollar-based investors are therefore exposed to fluctuations in the US/HK dollar / other foreign currency exchange rate. Please refer to the offering documents for further details, including the risk factors.
The data, comments, opinions, estimates and other information contained herein may be subject to change without notice. There is no guarantee that an investment product or a strategy will meet its objective and any forecasts expressed will be realized. Performance may also be affected by currency fluctuations. Reduced liquidity may have a negative impact on the price of the assets. Currency fluctuations may affect the value of overseas investments. Where an investment product or a strategy invests in emerging markets, the risks can be greater than in developed markets. Where an investment product or a strategy invests in derivative instruments, this entails specific risks that may increase the risk profile of the investment product or strategy. Where an investment product or a strategy invests in a specific sector or geographical area, the returns may be more volatile than a more diversified investment product or strategy.

This material may not be reproduced, distributed or published without prior written permission from Franklin Templeton.
Any hedged share class presented in this material will attempt to hedge the currency risk between the base currency of the Fund and the currency of the share class, although there can be no guarantee that it will be successful in doing so.
