Portfolio Manager Insight 6 Performance Review QUARTERLY KEY PERFORMANCE DRIVERS HELPED HURT Against the backdrop of constructive bank loan market fundamentals, our allocation to the sector contributed to performance. Our allocation to RMBS benefited from strong sector returns and also contributed toward results. Among currency exposures, positive returns from our long Mexican peso exposure were offset by negative performance of our Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah and Canadian dollar positions. Outlook & Strategy Although rising US interest rates have pressured certain emerging markets, we think the US economic outlook remains supportive of further, measured steps in the US Federal Reserve s (Fed s) tightening process along with reductions in its balance sheet. We expect the yield curve to respond accordingly; however, we believe the flattening trend should continue as demographic and technological factors act to keep longer-term rates anchored, in our estimation. In terms of currencies, fiscal and/or demographic conditions suggest limited value in many of the major developed markets. We think select positions in fiscally sound economies with more modest dependence on exports may offer better prospects. While fundamentals remain supportive of corporate credit, we believe both macro-related developments and the extended credit cycle warrant a somewhat more cautious approach as illustrated by tail-risk hedges and selective moves into higher-quality credits. Within the securitized sectors, agency mortgage-backed security (MBS) fundamentals remain supportive and the prepayment outlook fairly benign, though low expected return and tight historical yield spreads lead us to retain a cautious stance on agency MBS. Within the non-agency RMBS sector, higher mortgage rates should decrease prepayments and slow the deleveraging process in the sector; the portfolio s exposure to the sector, however, is allocated higher in the capital structure where we do not anticipate material extension-related risks. The portfolio retains its overweight to nonagency RMBS, and we continue to seek opportunities in the sector. Commercial mortgage-backed security (CMBS) underwriting standards have eased, especially in multi-family originations by government sponsored enterprises. As the credit curve has continued to flatten and yield spreads have hovered close to all time tight levels, we maintain a cautionary stance as we believe we are nearing an end to this cycle. As such, we prefer to invest in high-quality collateral and remain higher in the CMBS structure with a bias for shorter-duration assets. 6.

Interest Rate Derivatives sector consists of Treasury, interest rate and other derivatives that are primarily used for duration management; a negative number indicates that we are seeking to hedge interest rate risk. 13. Figures are intended to estimate the portfolio s exposure to issuer credit risk, including any hedged or increased exposure through credit derivatives held in the portfolio (or their underlying reference assets), and may not total 100% or may be negative due to rounding, use of any derivatives, unsettled trades or other factors. Any credit derivatives are assigned the ratings of their underlying reference assets. Information is historical and may not reflect current or future portfolio characteristics. All holdings are subject to change. Ratings shown are assigned by one or more Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations ( 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. If listed, the NR category consists of ratable securities that have not been rated by an NRSRO. The N/A category consists of nonratable securities (e.g., equities). Cash includes equivalents, which may be rated. franklintempleton.com 3
4 Broad Investment Universe Alpha Strategies Beta Management Franklin Flexible Alpha Bond Fund Investment Team Portfolio Manager Years with Firm Years Experience David Yuen, CFA, SVP/Head of Quantitative Portfolio Management Group Michael Materasso, SVP / Head of Insurance Portfolio Management / Co-Chair of FIPC Additional Resources Bank Loans Corporates - High Yield Corporates - Investment Grade Global Sovereign/EMD Local Asset Management MBS Municipals Quantitative Alpha: Alpha measures the difference between a fund s actual returns and its expected returns given its risk level as measured by its beta. A positive alpha figure indicates the fund has performed better than its beta would predict. In contrast, a negative alpha indicates a fund has underperformed, given the expectations established by the fund s beta. Some investors see alpha as a measurement of the value added or subtracted by a fund s manager. Average Duration: A measure of the sensitivity of the price (the value of principal) of a fixed-income investment to a change in interest rates. Duration is expressed as a number of years. Average Weighted Maturity: An estimate of the number of terms to maturity, taking the possibility of early payments into account, for the underlying holdings. Maturity is expressed as a number of years. 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%. franklintempleton.com 4
5 What Are The Risks? All investments involve risk, including possible loss of principal. Changes in the financial strength of a bond issuer or in a bond s credit rating may affect its value. Interest rate movement and mortgage prepayments will affect the fund s share price and yield. During periods of declining interest rates, principal prepayments tend to increase as borrowers refinance their mortgages at lower rates; therefore the fund may be forced to reinvest returned principal at lower interest rates, reducing income. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as the price of bonds in the fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the fund s share price may decline. The fund may be affected by issuers that fail to make interest payments and repay principal when due. The risks associated with higher-yielding, lower-rated securities (commonly called junk bonds) include higher risk of default and loss of principal. Derivatives, including currency management strategies, involve costs and can create economic leverage in the portfolio which may result in significant volatility and cause the fund to participate in losses (as well as enable gains) in an amount that exceeds the fund s initial investment. The fund may not achieve the anticipated results, and may realize losses when a counterparty fails to perform as intended. These and other risks considerations are discussed in the fund s prospectus.
