Risk disclosure

  • INVESTMENT INVOLVES RISKS. The value of the Fund can be volatile and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
  • The Fund is a sub-fund of Franklin Templeton Global Funds plc, an open-ended umbrella investment company constituted in Ireland. The Fund seeks to maximise total return, consisting of capital appreciation and income, by investing at least 70% of its net asset value in investment grade debt securities that are listed or traded on regulated markets in the U.S.
  • Investors will be exposed to debt securities risk, risk of government securities, risk of rated and unrated securities, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk,  concentration risk, custody and settlement risks, , inflation-protected securities risk, US markets risk, currency risk and investment risk.
  • The Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities, which may give rise to higher liquidity, credit, counterparty and interest rate risks.
  • The Fund may use certain types of financial derivative instruments ("FDIs") extensively for investment and other non-hedging purposes, which may involve a higher degree of risk such as counterparty, volatility and leverage, liquidity and valuation risks. The Fund may suffer a total or significant loss arising from the extensive use of FDIs.
  • The Fund may invest in debt instruments that have contingent write down or loss absorption features, these instruments involve risks which may potentially lead to losses to the Fund.
  • The Fund is a complex product with net derivative exposure that may exceed 50% but up to 100% of the Fund’s net asset value. It is not principal protected and in the worst case you may suffer a total loss of your investment. The Fund is authorized by the Securities and Future Commission (“SFC”) and is available to the public in Hong Kong. There is no secondary market for the Fund and SFC’s authorization does not imply its official recommendation, endorsement nor does it guarantee the commercial merits of the Fund or its performance. Investors should exercise caution in relation to the Fund.
  • The directors of Franklin Templeton Global Funds plc may at their discretion pay dividends out of capital of a Distributing Plus Share Class. The payment of dividends out of capital effectively amounts to a return or withdrawal of an investor´s original capital investment or of capital gains attributable to that original investment. Such distribution will result in a corresponding immediate decrease in the Net Asset Value per share of these Share Classes.  
  • Investors should not invest based on this marketing material alone.  Offering documents should be read for further details, including the risk factors.  Before you decide to invest, you should make sure the intermediary has explained to you that the Fund is suitable to you.
