Smaller companies are those similar in size to the companies in the MSCI All Country World (ACWI) Small Cap Index, at the time of initial purchase.

Intensifying trade tensions and their potential to slow global economic growth weighed on sentiment. Concerns also arose that the synchronised global growth story might be coming to an end, as the US economy looked resilient, while pockets of Europe, Asia and Latin America faced various challenges. Developed-market stocks, as measured by MSCI indexes, advanced ahead of a gauge of global equities and outperformed their emerging- and frontier-market peers, which generally suffered fairly steep declines. In developed markets, the US economy appears to have bounced back from modest first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth as spending by consumers, businesses and the government has gained momentum. Amidst this backdrop, the US Federal Reserve lifted its 2018 GDP guidance in June when it raised interest rates for the second time this year. Also in June, the European Central 1.

2 Bank announced it intends to end its quantitative easing programme by year-end and expects to keep interest rates on hold at least through the summer of Elsewhere in Europe, the United Kingdom s unemployment rate for the three months through April remained at a 42-year low. In Asia, Japan s first-quarter 2018 GDP growth was revised down to a quarterly drop, shrinking for the first time in two years. Many observers noted a general aversion to emerging markets amidst a strengthening US dollar. On a country level, China s first-quarter 2018 GDP rose year-on-year in line with previous quarters and consensus expectations; meanwhile, the quarter-on-quarter reading was slightly below expectations, and marked the slowest pace of growth in two years. South Korea s first-quarter GDP rose quarter-on-quarter following a contraction in the previous period. India s GDP for the January March quarter grew at the fastest pace in seven quarters on stronger manufacturing and investments. Brazil s first-quarter GDP grew year-on-year, the fourth consecutive positive result. Mexico s GDP growth in the first quarter continued moderating in annual terms, but accelerated quarter-on-quarter to the highest figure since Performance Review The fund underperformed relative to its benchmark index in the second quarter. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary and materials sectors weighed on relative results. In the industrials sector stock selection and an overweight allocation hurt relative performance. CommScope, M.Dias Branco and Camil Alimentos were among the top 10 relative detractors. Shares of US telecommunications equipment firm CommScope declined after pricing pressures negatively impacted the company s margins. While aggressive pricing from US telecom carriers embarking on large-scale projects has remained a threat to CommScope s profitability, the resulting single-digit hit to near-term free cash flow guidance did not justify the significant share-price selloff, in our view. M. Dias Branco, Brazil s market leader in cookies and crackers was also a significant relative detractor. Despite short-term underperformance, we believe the company s market-leading brands and the significant competitive advantages it has developed by vertically integrating and slowly developing distribution across Brazil will lead to strong performance over our long-term investment horizon. Also based in Brazil, packaged grains and food products company Camil Alimentos declined in value. We believe the company has a strong growth runway based on its premium pricing and market leading position within the majority of its brands. Turning to contributors, stock selection in the consumer staples sector boosted relative results. At the fund level leading relative contributors included USbased Freshpet and Boston Beer Company. Freshpet sells fresh, protein-based natural pet food and treats in their own branded refrigerators in thousands of stores throughout the United States. Solid quarterly earnings and increased merger and acquisition activity in the pet food space has fueled the company s share price. Shares of Craft brewing company Boston Beer performed well after a strong earnings report was released in April. The company established the craft beer industry in the United States, and is the market leader in craft beer, hard cider, and fermented malt beverages. Geographically, stock selection and an underweight in the United States dampened relative performance. Stock selection and an overweight allocation in Asia and Europe also hurt relative results. At the country level, Germany, India, Canada, Columbia and Sweden supported relative performance. Outlook & Strategy Surveying the current global investment environment, a number of situations appear incongruous and unsustainable to us. First, the US-led economic cycle is now the second-longest of the post-war era, with the world s largest economy nearing full employment and peak profitability. This strikes us as an odd moment to unleash large-scale fiscal stimulus, especially if it needs to be deficit-financed at a time of waning demand for Treasury debt. Second, US stocks are near their highest valuation levels in history, at least based on the metrics that are most correlated to future long-term returns. This seems a strange time to rush indiscriminately into US equities, yet data confirms that 2017 saw record inflows into US-focused exchange-traded funds. Third, corporate debt-to-gdp is back near previous peaks, while the government debt-to-gdp ratio of the Group of Seven countries is near the highest level since World War II. This seems a perilous time to increase borrowing costs, but nevertheless rates have been rising. Our broader point is that risks appear elevated at this mature stage in the cycle, with volatility resurfacing in an environment of full valuations, rising interest rates and still fragile economic growth. We would not want to own the leaders of the last cycle in this environment, and believe that the inevitable market transition come when it may could significantly bolster the case for active value investing. In keeping with our time-tested value discipline, recent quarters have seen us reducing exposure to expensive sectors like internet technology, consumer discretionary and US banks and reinvesting proceeds into beleaguered sectors like health care, telecommunications and select energy stocks. The aim of a long-term, contrarian investment framework is to spot such opportunities and get there before the crowds arrive to erode the return potential. In this environment of impending transition, we have continued to find what we consider the best long-term opportunities amongst unloved and overlooked stocks.

Investment Philosophy Templeton utilises a disciplined, consistent approach based on three timeless principles of investing: Value Patience Bottom-up stock picking Our flexible approach is applied within a disciplined framework and seeks to identify companies trading at large discounts to their business value. Our long-term focus gives us a framework to take advantage of price volatility to reveal potential longterm investment opportunities. Patience allows for potential long-term value recognition. Our portfolio management process seeks to buy pessimism and sell optimism. We build portfolios spanning regions and sectors made up of securities identified through this process. 12,13.

Beta, Information Ratio and Tracking Error information are measured against the Custom Templeton Global Smaller Companies Benchmark. 16. Information Ratio is a way to evaluate a manager s ability to outperform a benchmark in relation to the risk that manager is assuming, with risk defined as deviation from the benchmark. This measure is calculated by dividing the portfolio s excess return (portfolio return less the benchmark return) by the tracking error (derived by taking the standard deviation of the monthly differences between the portfolio return and the benchmark return over time). franklintempleton.ca 4

Historical turnover is based on Templeton s experience as a Firm, over a five-year period as of most recent quarter end. The turnover is a byproduct of Templeton s long-term approach to managing portfolios, but various factors, such as a portfolio s specific investment guidelines and market or economic conditions may cause actual portfolio turnover to vary.

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%. 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 Capitalization: A determination of a company s value, calculated by multiplying the total number of company stock shares outstanding by the price per share. Market capitalization is expressed in millions of CAD. Price to Book Value: 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 returns vary from the average of its previous returns. The larger the standard deviation, the greater the likelihood (and risk) that performance will fluctuate from the average return. Tracking Error: Measure of the deviation of the return of a product compared to the return of a benchmark over a fixed period of time. Expressed as a percentage. The more passively the investment is managed, the smaller the tracking error. franklintempleton.ca 5
