4 What are the Key Risks? 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.

As a result, the performance of the Fund can fluctuate significantly over relatively short time periods. Other significant risks include: currency risk, emerging markets risk, liquidity risk, operational risk. For full details of all of the risks applicable to this Fund, please refer to the Risk Considerations section of the Fund in the current prospectus of Franklin Templeton Investment Funds. 4

All portfolio holdings are subject to change. The portfolio characteristics listed are based on the Fund s underlying holdings, and do not necessarily reflect the Fund s characteristics. Due to data limitations all equity holdings are assumed to be the primary equity issue (usually the ordinary or common shares) of each security s issuing company. This methodology may cause small differences between the portfolio s reported characteristics and the portfolio s actual characteristics. In practice, Franklin Templeton s portfolio managers invest in the class or type of security which they believe is most appropriate at the time of purchase.

15 Performance Risk Statistics - I (acc) USD Performance Risk Statistics 1 Yr 3 Yrs* 5 Yrs* 10 Yrs* Standard Deviation (%): - I (acc) USD MSCI All Country Asia ex-japan Index Tracking Error (%)^^ Information Ratio^^ Beta^^ Sharpe Ratio The base currency of a fund determines the risk-free rate index used in calculating certain risk statistics on this page. A fund that is based in USD uses the US T-Bill Index as the risk free rate return, a EUR-based fund uses the Euro 3-Month T-Bill Index, a GBP-based fund uses the UK Treasury Bills 3 Month Index, a JPY-based fund uses the Japan Financing Bill 3 Month Index, and an AUD-based fund uses the Australia T-Note 3 Month Index. 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. ^^Measured against the MSCI All Country Asia ex-japan Index. *Annualised. Past performance is not an indicator or a guarantee of future performance. 15

16 Glossary Beta: A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio's past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of the overall market (or appropriate market index). The market (or index) is assigned a beta of 1.00, so a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the overall market rose or fell by 10%. Dividend Yield: The annual dividend received on an equity security as a percentage of the price. For a portfolio, the value represents a weighted average of the stocks it holds. It should not be used as an indication of the income received from this portfolio. Information Ratio: In investing terminology, the ratio of expected return to risk. Usually, this statistical technique is used to measure a manager's performance against a benchmark. This measure explicitly relates the degree by which an investment has beaten the benchmark to the consistency by which the investment has beaten the benchmark. Market Capitalisation: A determination of a company's value, calculated by multiplying the total number of company stock shares outstanding by the price per share. Price to Book: The price per share of a stock divided by its book value (i.e., net worth) per share. For a portfolio, the value represents a weighted average of the stocks it holds. Price to Cash Flow: Supplements price/earnings ratio as a measure of relative value for a stock. For a portfolio, the value represents a weighted average of the stocks it holds. Price to Earnings (12-mo Trailing): The share price of a stock, divided by its per-share earnings over the past year. For a portfolio, the value represents a weighted average of the stocks it holds. Sharpe Ratio: To calculate a Sharpe ratio, an asset's excess returns (its return in excess of the return generated by risk-free assets such as Treasury bills) are divided by the asset's standard deviation. Standard Deviation: A measure of the degree to which a fund's return varies from the average of its previous returns. The larger the standard deviation, the greater the likelihood (and risk) that a fund's performance will fluctuate from the average return. Tracking Error: Measure of the deviation of the return of a fund compared to the return of a benchmark over a fixed period of time. Expressed as a percentage. The more passively the investment fund is managed, the smaller the tracking error. 16
