Overview

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 income yield in all market conditions while preserving capital (for the avoidance of doubt, the Fund is not a guarantee or capital-protected product). The Fund invests at least 70% of its net asset value in debt securities and derivatives providing exposure to debt securities.
  • Investors will be exposed to investment risk, risk of income optimisation strategy, emerging markets risk, inflation-protected securities risk, derivatives risks, currency risk and Renminbi currency and conversion risk.
  • The Fund is also subject to debt securities risk including credit/ counterparty risk, interest rate risk, volatility and liquidity risk, downgrading risk, risk related to below investment grade/ unrated securities, risk of government securities, risk of collateralised and/or securitised products, valuation risk and credit rating risk.
  • As the active position of the Fund through the use of derivatives (including the active currency position) may not be correlated with the underlying securities positions held by the Fund, the Fund may suffer a significant or total loss.
  • 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 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.
