1 Abridged Annual Report For FRANKLIN TEMPLETON MUTUAL FUND - Templeton India Equity Income Fund Head Office : Indiabulls Finance Center, Tower 2, 12th and 13th Floor, Senapati Bapat Marg, Elphinstone (West), Mumbai Trustee Report to Investors Dear Investor, The Board of Directors of Franklin Templeton Trustee Services Pvt. Ltd., Trustee to Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund, have the pleasure of presenting before you the twenty-second Annual Report of Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund (FTMF) for the financial year (FY18). Along with the general information on the background and highlights of Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund, investor services, etc., the Board of Directors of Franklin Templeton Trustee Services Pvt. Ltd. have specifically provided information on the schemes of Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund. Review of activities of Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund: During the year under review, the mutual fund industry witnessed a substantial increase in Average Assets Under Management (AAUM) on the back of healthy inflows as well as value appreciation. Product launches: FTMF currently has a comprehensive range of products to suit the varied investment objectives of our investors across segments. However, in FY18, we continued to regularly monitor emerging investor needs and changing market dynamics, in order to identify opportunities with respect to the existing product suite or new products. We continued to strengthen our presence in the close-end Fixed Maturity Plan (FMP) space in a selective manner, and launched 8 new FMPs during the year. Product rationalization: SEBI carried out an industry level product categorization and rationalization exercise during the year. FTMF reviewed its entire range of open-end schemes and submitted its scheme categorization and rationalization proposal to SEBI in FY18. As approved by SEBI, FTMF has merged Franklin India Government Securities Fund Composite & PF Plan into Franklin India Government Securities Fund Long Term Plan with effect from June 4, We were not required to merge any other funds as we have always maintained a well-differentiated yet limited suite of products. Mutual funds as an investment avenue continued to gain popularity across retail as well as high networth investors. This was clearly reflected in the healthy AUM growth of the industry. The total AUM of the industry grew by 26% in FY18. FTMF s AUM also grew at the same rate. (AUM Source: AMFI website, Quarterly Average AUM taken into consideration) During FY18, Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund saw good progress in terms of investment performance and inflows in the fixed income space but faced temporary headwinds in terms of short term performance and inflows in equity and hybrid funds. The firm continuously aims to deliver consistent long term performance. Key Investor Education & Awareness Initiatives undertaken during FY18: 1. The Marathon of Life - We conceptualized this campaign by drawing analogies between completing in a Marathon and investing in Mutual Funds. It features six everyday heroes who go about doing the ordinary in an extra-ordinary way. The theme of the below six videos is similar to the six qualities one should possess for investing in mutual funds, viz., Have a Goal, Start Early, Be Resilient, Step Up, It s never too late to begin and Having the right Guidance helps. We started the campaign in December 2017 and released one video every week for six weeks on our social media pages. A microsite www. thegoodemi.com/marathon was used to host all the videos as well as a special booklet created which provides details of the above six tenets. We also launched a contest wherein people could tell us their own story besides mentioning which of these six stories they liked the most and why. The 6 videos together (across Facebook and Twitter) were viewed over 10 million times with over 113,000 likes, over 10,000 shares, over 1500 comments, over 2200 retweets and over 200 contest entries! Individually, three videos received over 1 million views and one had over 2 million views. 2. e-booklet on 16 Rules of Investment Success by Sir John Templeton We promoted one rule per week across social media channels. Each rule had a link to a digital flipbook where the audience could read all the rules. The campaign received 5.5 lac+ engagements and over 36 lac impressions. Here is the link: 3. Financial Independence This was an Independence Day campaign that covered 3 individuals from different walks of life and asked them what Financial Independence means to them. At the end of each video, we asked users their definition of Financial Independence and received an overwhelming response. The campaign generated over 11 million video views and garnered 110 million+ impressions. Here is the link for campaign video: 4. Invest for Progress - March 8 is celebrated as International Women s Day. We flagged off #investforprogress, a digital marketing campaign to spread the message on Don t just learn to earn, but learn to invest. The campaign received over 11 million digital impressions and more than 3mn video views. We also received a mention in various reputed publications like Brand Equity, The Mint and The DRUM. Here is the link to watch the film Funds have Feelings - In an effort to make mutual funds less daunting, we decided to give them a human twist to develop a connect with existing and potential investors under the tagline #FundsHaveFeelings. The short and shareable nature of the content garnered a reach of over 6.4Lac and over 4000 engagements. Here is the link for the lines ly/2hmdxkw Investor Services: As on 31st March 2018, Franklin Templeton had more than 36 lakh active investor accounts who are being serviced through its 40 Investor Service Centres (ISC) and 149 offices of its collection partners. We continue to encourage our investors and partners to leverage our online offerings and services. There is a continuous effort to mobilize technology to provide enhanced customer satisfaction. During the year, in line with our digital ecosystem strategy, the enhanced website was launched and webchat was introduced as an additional touchpoint for servicing unitholders. Significant Regulatory Changes: During the year various regulatory changes were made. Investors may note the following significant changes: Scheme categorisation and rationalisation We believe that the uniformity brought in the characteristics of similar types of open-ended schemes launched by different Mutual Funds would enable an investor of Mutual Funds to more easily compare the different options available, before taking an informed decision to invest in a scheme. Disclosure of Total Expense Ratio of Mutual Fund Schemes on Mutual Fund s website, notice of change in base TER - We believe these disclosures would help the investors know about various expenses charged on their investments in a more transparent and timely manner. Investor Complaints Report: The Investor Complaints Report of FTMF for FY18 is given in Annexure I to this Report. Valuation policy: Valuation policy and related disclosures are available on our website for reference of the investors. Voting Policy and Disclosures of Votes Cast: Pursuant to SEBI circular no. SEBI/IMD/CIR no. 18/198647/2010 dated March 15, 2010 and subsequent clarifications/circulars issued by SEBI, FTMF has formulated a policy for exercise of voting rights by the Franklin Templeton Asset Management (India) Private Limited (FTAMIL) in companies in whose securities schemes of the Fund have invested.

2 1. Scheme performance, future outlook and operations of the schemes: Launched in May 2006, Templeton India Equity Income Fund (TIEIF) is an open-end diversified equity fund that follows the value investing philosophy, which is based on the tenets of intrinsic value, bargain hunting and long-term orientation. The fund focuses on Indian and foreign equities that have a current or potentially attractive dividend yield (dividend as a percentage of market price). The fund s performance since inception and in the last one year ended March 2018 is summarized below: Templeton India Equity Income Fund Last 1 Year Since Inception* TIEIF - Growth 14.33% 13.78% B: S&P BSE 200 $ 12.60% 11.63% AB: Nifty % 11.01% TIEIF - Direct - Growth 15.16% 14.62% B: S&P BSE % 13.59% AB: Nifty % 12.02% *Compounded & annualized returns. Inception dates: TIEIF - Growth: May 18, 2006, TIEIF- Direct - Growth: January 1, B: Benchmark, AB: Additional Benchmark Benchmark returns calculated based on Total Return Index Values As TRI data is not available since inception of the scheme, benchmark performance is calculated using composite CAGR of ($ S&P BSE 200 PRI values from to and TRI values since ) Indian equities rallied in FY2018 led by encouraging global growth trend, up-tick in domestic economic growth, consumption demand, improving corporate results in H2FY18 and conducive policy reform measures. The fund outperformed its benchmark BSE 200 during the period since inception as well as for the 1-year period ended in March For the 1-year period, healthcare, consumer staples and financials were top 3 relative contributors to portfolio performance. Superior stock selection in healthcare aided outperformance even as the pharmaceutical segment suffered from adverse pricing in the US generic drugs market and observations by the USFDA on select Indian pharma companies. The consumer staples sector rallied on improving consumption demand. Superior stock selection led to relative outperformance in the sector. Within financial sector, exposure to NBFCs and selective exposure within banking space supported relative outperformance. This was despite the fact that earnings of the banking sector banks were rattled by a Reserve Bank of India-directed non-performing loan provisioning increase. Looking forward, we believe that the long-term investment case for emerging markets continues to remain attractive - we expect positive demographics and rising income levels to boost consumption growth. Further, consumption demand and public and private capex spending continue to be key growth themes. In terms of strategy, we will continue to closely scan the investment universe in both domestic and overseas markets for attractive bargains that in our view are poised to do well.
