invest in various investment platforms advised by a number of investment advisory entities within FTI. Platform AUM reported for FT Multi-Asset Solutions therefore may include certain AUM separately reported under each utilised investment platform.

Total AUM also includes assets managed by certain FTI advisers that do not form part of the selected investment platforms shown. As a result, the combined platform AUMs may not equal Total AUM and may be calculated and reported separately for

regulatory or other purposes under each investment adviser. Each local asset manager may be considered as an entity affiliated with or associated to FTI by virtue of being a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of FRI, an entity or joint venture in

which FRI owns a partial interest, which may be a minority interest, or a third party asset management company to which investment advisory services have been delegated by an FTI adviser.

Strategy Summary1

• Seek to maximise total investment return consisting of a combination of interest income, currency gains and capital appreciation

• Utilise a benchmark agnostic approach to take advantage of an unconstrained worldview

• Seeks to maintain a longer term volatility profile that is commensurate with that of a traditional global governmentbond index

Investment Focus• Focus on global government and government-related debt securities, global currencies and related derivatives

• Limit below-investment grade country exposure typically to no more than 25%

• May include allocations to both developed and emerging markets

Potential Sources of Value Added• May utilise three independent sources of alpha potential:

– Yield Curve

– Currencies

– Sovereign Credit

Strategy Overview

1794

For investors who seek to:• Diversify a fixed income allocation or an overall portfolio via an unconstrained global bond strategy that has historically had

low to moderate correlations to other asset classes

• Achieve solid, long-term, risk adjusted returns in diverse market conditions by capturing potential alpha opportunities in global fixed income and currencies

All performance data shown is in the Fund currency stated and net of management fees. Sales charges and other commissions, taxes and other relevant costs paid by the investor are not included in the calculations.

Performance data may represent blended share class performance, e.g., hybrid created from an A (dis) share class which was converted to A (acc).

The fund offers other share classes subject to different fees and expenses, which will affect their performance. Please see the prospectus for details.

When performance for either the portfolio or its benchmark has been converted, different foreign exchange closing rates may be used between the portfolio and its benchmark.

Annualized rolling periods are plotted on a monthly or quarterly basis as indicated. The leading diagonal line links points of return for the index (lower axis). For every point of return along this line there is a corresponding return for the fund represented by

the blue square (left axis). Any point above the line represents outperformance relative to the index for that period. Any point below the line represents underperformance relative to the index for that period.

The value of shares in the Fund and income received from it can go down as well as up, and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Past performance is not an indicator

or a guarantee of future performance. Current performance may differ from figures shown. Currency fluctuations may affect the value of overseas investments. When investing in a fund

denominated in a foreign currency, performance may also be affected by currency fluctuations. Please visit www.franklinresources.com/countries for current performance.

The fund has been able to provide investors with competitive performance results in various market conditions over the time period below. The chart below highlights how the fund’s track record has been through various alternating periods of moderate declines,where short-term performance has lagged, and prolonged advances, where long-term gains have more than offset the short-term declines. The fund’s contrarian strategy is designed to tolerate short-term periods of lagging performance as the management team builds positions in investments that may be out of favour, but may be poised for a rebound. Periods of at least twice the standard deviation of monthly returns were chosen to isolate long-term gains, which the team seeks, and short-term periods of lagging performance from daily and weekly market volatility.

Beliefs and Guiding Principles• An unconstrained approach to global fixed income investing can lead to long-term value

potential

• Integrating global macroeconomic analysis and ESG indicators with in-depth country research can help identify long-term economic imbalances

• Actively allocating risk across three independent potential sources of alpha can deliver diversification benefits and the potential for more consistent returns in diverse markets

ESG—Going Beyond Traditional Macroeconomic Indicators

Key Beliefs

• ESG issues can affect sovereign bond spreads and can be material to a country’s long-term economic sustainability

• We believe in-depth macroeconomic research and ESG considerations provide a better understanding of a country’s risk and creditworthiness

– Soft factors capture the “willingness” vs. the “ability” of a country to service its obligations and deal with the challengesof the future

• ESG integration seeks to improve investment decision making and long-term risk-adjusted returns

– Allows us to identify potential upside opportunities and early transformation stories

– Deepens sovereign risk assessment

• ESG considerations align with our medium- to long-term investment horizon

A Proprietary ESG Index—TGM-ESGI

Integral to our Country Macroeconomic Research Process

Templeton Global Macro ESG Index (TGM-ESGI) is an aggregate metric comparable to macroeconomic indicators

• Transparency—uses of a wide range of qualitative indicators produced by international institutions and non-governmental organisations (e.g. World Bank, United Nations, Yale)

• Comprehensive—enables comparison across a broad investment universe of developed and emerging countries

• Measurable—a systematic measurement of ESG factors score is attributable to each country and monitored by our analyst team

• Forward-looking—ESG risk projections are calculated by our team of country macro-economists

• Embedded—In-depth macroeconomic research and ESG considerations are an inseparable part of our country risk assessment

Goal of Isolating Desired Risks

Hypothetical Examples

Country Research Can Help to Identify Potential Alpha Sources

MEXICO SOUTH KOREA AUSTRALIA

Hypothetical Situation and Country AnalysisEconomic activity in Mexico is slowing down,which we believe will eventually force the centralbank to cut interest rates and the Mexican peso to depreciate.

Hypothetical Situation and Country AnalysisKorean sovereign credit appears to be priced at distressed levels caused by liquidity issues. However, our analysis does not reveal a solvency problem.

Hypothetical Situation and Country AnalysisAustralia is among the first countries to tighten their monetary policy. As a result, we expect the Australian economy to recover at a faster pace and the currency to strengthen.

Proposed Course of ActionTake advantage of attractive interest rates in Mexico but without exposure to the Mexican peso.

Proposed Course of ActionTake advantage of attractive yield and spread compression opportunities in Korean sovereign credits.

Proposed Course of ActionTake advantage of the appreciation of the Australian dollar.

YIELD CURVE SOVEREIGN CREDIT CURRENCY

Hypothetical Portfolio Decision• Purchase peso-denominated 20-year Mexican bond• Hedge out peso risk by purchasing forex forward

Hypothetical Portfolio Decision• Purchase Korean sovereign credit

Hypothetical Portfolio Decision• Purchase short-term government bonds

denominated in Australian dollars

*The fund may use other derivatives to generate similar exposures, such as futures.The portfolio composition, characteristics and the number of exposures held by the fund will vary due to a variety of factors, such as, but not limited to, market conditions, asset size, interest rates, currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments.

Portfolio Construction—Position Sizing

5397

Portfolio Positioning Position Sizing

• The portfolio invests across developed and emerging countries in areas where we see potential value

• There are typically a few overarching macro views that are expressed using a variety of instruments

• Individual views are expressed using currency, interest rate, or credit positions

• Position size is based on our view of attractiveness, valuation, conviction level and risk, as well as size and liquidity of the market

• Long country exposures typically range from approximately 4–8%, expressed using some combination of currency, rates and credit; extremely high conviction positions may constitute around 20%

Implementation Barbell Approach

• Views are implemented primarily via local currency bonds, currency forwards, interest rate swaps, hard currency bonds, or a combination thereof

• The makeup of a position depends on the exposure, valuation, liquidity, and correlation to the remainder of the portfolio

• The various investment positions in the portfolio seek to balance downside risk, expected return and liquidity

As of 30 June 2019

Portfolio Positioning

1822

1

Potential Alpha Sources Current Positioning

Defensive Stance Due to Concerns about Rising Interest Rates• We remained positioned for rising US Treasury yields by maintaining low overall portfolio duration and holding

negative duration exposure to US Treasuries • Outside of the developed markets, we held select duration exposures in specific countries that we believe have

attractive risk/return profiles, relatively higher yields, resiliencies to external shocks and favorable macro conditions for yields to remain relatively stable or shift lower

YIELD CURVE

Favourable Opportunities in Select Currencies• We favour currencies in countries that we believe have strong growth fundamentals and compelling interest-rate

differentials that should be better positioned to absorb external shocks• We maintained net-negative positions in the euro and the Australian dollar as we continue to expect monetary

accommodation from the European Central Bank and Reserve Bank of AustraliaCURRENCIES

Selectively Finding Sovereign Credit Opportunities• Continued to selectively invest in credit opportunities across emerging markets, with a particular focus on credit

exposures in economies with compelling growth indicators

The value of shares in the Fund and income received from it can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested.

Performance may also be affected by currency fluctuations. Currency fluctuations may affect the value of overseas investments.

The Fund invests mainly in debt securities issued by government or government-related entities in any country and in derivatives. Such securities and derivatives have

historically been subject to price movements, generally due to interest rates, foreign exchange rates or movements in the bond market. As a result, the performance of

the Fund can fluctuate over time.

The Fund may distribute income gross of expenses. Whilst this might allow more income to be distributed, it may also have the effect of reducing capital.

Other significant risks include: credit risk, currency risk, derivatives risk, liquidity risk, emerging markets risk.

As of 30 June 2019

Portfolio Index

Average Credit Quality A AA

Average Duration -2.13 Yrs 8.30 Yrs

Average Weighted Maturity 1.18 Yrs 10.19 Yrs

Yield to Maturity 6.72% 0.98%

Information is historical and may not reflect current or future portfolio characteristics. All portfolio holdings are subject to change.

Average Duration, Average Weighted Maturity, Yield to Maturity and Yield to Worst figures reflect certain derivatives held in the portfolio (or their underlying reference assets).

The average credit quality (ACQ) rating may change over time. The portfolio itself has not been rated by an independent rating agency. The letter rating, which may be based on bond ratings from different agencies (or internal ratings for unrated bonds,

cash and equivalents), is provided to indicate the average credit rating of the portfolio's underlying investments and generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). For unrated bonds, cash and equivalents, ratings may be assigned based on the

ratings of the issuer, the ratings of the underlying holdings of a pooled investment vehicle, or other relevant factors. The ACQ is determined by assigning a sequential integer to all credit ratings AAA to D, taking a simple, asset-weighted average of

investments by market value and rounding to the nearest rating. The risk of default increases as a bond's rating decreases, so the ACQ provided is not a statistical measurement of the portfolio’s default risk because a simple, weighted average does not

measure the increasing level of risk from lower-rated bonds. The ACQ may be lower if cash and equivalents are excluded from the calculation. The ACQ is provided for informational purposes only. Derivative positions are not reflected in the ACQ.

Yield figures quoted should not be used as an indication of the income that has or will be received. Yield figures are based on the portfolio's underlying holdings and do not represent a payout of the portfolio.

Ratings shown are assigned by one or more Nationally Recognised Statistical Rating Organisations (‘NRSRO’), such as Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch. The ratings are an indication of an issuer’s creditworthiness and typically range from AAA or

Aaa (highest) to D (lowest). When ratings from all three agencies are available, the middle rating is used; when two are available, the lowest rating is used; and when only one is available, that rating is used. Foreign government bonds without a specific

rating are assigned the country rating provided by an NRSRO, if available. The NR category consists of rateable securities that have not been rated by an NRSRO. The N/A category consists of nonrateable securities (e.g., equities). Cash includes

equivalents, which may be rated.

The information is historical and may not reflect current or future portfolio characteristics.1. Performance attribution may change depending on factors such as market and economic conditions.2. Currencies can be overstated because they can be used to hedge out certain market risks, such as interest rate risk, due to the negative correlation between the exchange rate and the factor that the team is attempting to hedge.A particular factor might also affect positions that are attributed to one or both of the other categories. Therefore, decomposing the attribution into these three categories, without regard to hedging, could lead currencies to be overstated.Past performance is not an indicator or a guarantee of future performance.

TGM-ESG Index—Scoring Methodology

TGM-ESGI Proprietary Methodology• Select 13 indicators that we believe would have the most significant economic and valuation impact

• Assign each country a current and projected score on the 13 indicators classified into one of the three dimensions: Environmental, Social and Governance

• Rate countries on a scale from 0 to 10, with 10 being the highest

• Calculate an average score on each of the three dimensions: Environmental, Social and Governance

• A final composite ESG score is calculated for each country with a weighting of 40% for governance, 40% for social and 20% for environment

– Environmental receives a lower weighting as impact on the economy often occurs over significantly longer time horizons than governance and social factors

Benefits to our approach• TGM-ESG Index ranks not only levels but also trends

– Favours countries with flat or improving scores rather than current level

– Prevents disproportionate allocation to wealthier countries

This document is intended to be of general interest only and does not constitute legal or tax advice nor is it an offer for shares or invitation to apply for shares of the Luxembourg-domiciled

SICAV Franklin Templeton Investment Funds (the “Fund”). Nothing in this document should be construed as investment advice.

 

Subscriptions to shares of the Fund can only be made on the basis of the current prospectus of the Fund, accompanied by the latest available audited annual report and the latest semi-annual

report if published thereafter. An investment in the Fund entails risks which are described in the Fund's prospectus.

 

The value of shares in the Fund and income received from it can go down as well as up, and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Past performance is not an indicator or a

guarantee of future performance. Currency fluctuations may affect the value of overseas investments. When investing in a fund denominated in a foreign currency, your performance may also be

affected by currency fluctuations.

 

In emerging markets, the risks can be greater than in developed markets. Investments in derivative instruments entail specific risks that may increase the risk profile of the fund and are more

fully described in the Fund’s prospectus. If the fund invests in a specific sector or geographical area, the returns may be more volatile than a more diversified fund.

 

No shares of the Fund may be directly or indirectly offered or sold to residents of the United States of America. Shares of the Fund are not available for distribution in all jurisdictions and

prospective investors should confirm availability with their local Franklin Templeton Investments representative before making any plans to invest.

 

Opinions expressed are the author’s at publication date and they are subject to change without prior notice. Any research and analysis contained in this document has been procured by Franklin
