Portfolio Manager Insight Performance Review ONE-MONTH KEY PERFORMANCE DRIVERS Helped Hurt Stocks Sectors Countries Banco Bradesco S.A. Sponsored ADR Pfd Financials (Stock Selection) China (Stock Selection) Sberbank Russia OJSC Consumer Discretionary Sponsored ADR (Stock Selection) Brazil (Stock Selection) Brilliance China Automotive Materials (Stock Selection, Russia (Stock Selection, Holdings Limited Underweight) Overweight) Taiwan Semiconductor Information Technology Taiwan (Off-benchmark Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Stock Selection) Exposure) Bajaj Holdings & Investment Limited. Health Care (Stock Selection) ICICI Bank Limited Auto maker Brilliance China Automotive climbed as China prepared to roll out measures in support of car sales in a slowing economy. Uncertainty around the company s joint venture with Germany s BMW also receded Brilliance s shareholders approved the sale of a 25% stake in the partnership to BMW, allowing the latter to raise its interest to 75%. We expect Brilliance China to continue benefitting from long-term growth in luxury auto demand as rising incomes drive premiumisation in consumption. Several banks in Brazil, Russia and China were amongst the top individual relative contributors. Banco Bradesco and Itausa Investimentos Itau in Brazil, Sberbank Russia and China-based Ping An Bank all added to returns in January. Chip maker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) recovered somewhat from weakness early in the month, but detracted from the fund s performance. TSMC was negatively impacted by a weak update from US smart-phone maker Apple, and, while its own quarterly results were in line with market consensus, the firm reduced its revenue guidance. 1. All holdings are subject to change. Holdings of the same issuers have been combined.

2 Outlook & Strategy Investor sentiment in EMs improved in January, supported by a dovish US Federal Reserve and hopes for the US and China to reach a trade deal by March, when higher US tariffs on Chinese goods are poised to set in. While gross domestic product growth in China has eased recently, we do not expect a hard landing as long as the government maintains adequate liquidity and close control over the capital account. The economy continued to grow at a robust rate, making the country one of the fastest growing major economies in the world. Meanwhile, a shift towards innovation, technology and consumption as primary drivers of growth could support sustainability over the long term. In the interim, however, we maintain a cautious view as a prolonged trade US-China trade dispute could lead to significant volatility. We will continue to monitor the situation and look for attractive investment opportunities. With the national elections coming up, Indian markets are expected to remain volatile, with the compounding effect from global macro uncertainty. In the longer run, however, the case for investing in India remains strong as fundamentals remain intact. Indian equities are also expected to show resilience to global trade concerns due to less export dependence, reasonably robust macroeconomic situation and rising domestic liquidity BRIC countries are home to a rising middle class that is also technologically savvy, and a new generation of companies have attained success through consumer-focused innovation. We are particularly upbeat about growth prospects for the information technology and consumer-related sectors. Overall, we continue to find long-term investment opportunities in the region, and we remain drawn to companies that demonstrate sustainable earnings power and trade at a discount relative to their intrinsic value and other investments available in the market.

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 equity securities of companies located in or doing significant business in the BRIC countries. Such emerging markets have historically been subject to significant price movements, frequently to a greater extent than equity markets globally. As a result, the performance of the Fund can fluctuate significantly over relatively short time periods. Other significant risks include: emerging markets risk, currency risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect 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. 8. Beta, Information Ratio and Tracking Error information are measured against the. 3

The value of participatory interests may go down as well as up and past performance is not necessarily a guide to the future. Fluctuations or movements in exchange rates may cause the value of underlying international investments to go up or down. CIS are traded at ruling prices and can engage in borrowing and scrip lending.

When comparing the performance of Franklin Templeton Investment Funds (the Fund ) with a benchmark index, it is important to note that the securities in which the Fund invests may be substantially different than those represented by the benchmark index.

There is no assurance that securities purchased will remain in the fund, or that securities sold will not be repurchased.

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).
