1 Franklin Templeton Investment Funds Franklin Global Fundamental Strategies Fund Asset Allocation Fund Profile Fund Details Inception Date 25 October 2007 Investment Style Benchmark(s) Asset Allocation 2/3 MSCI World Index 1/3 JP Morgan Global Government Bond Index FUND OBJECTIVE Franklin Global Fundamental Strategies Fund (the Fund ) seeks capital appreciation through a diversified, value- oriented approach, with a secondary objective of seeking income. The Fund generally invests in equity securities of companies of any market capitalisation located anywhere in the world, including Emerging Markets, as well as fixed and floating rate debt securities and debt obligations issued by government, government- related and/or corporate entities worldwide. The Fund makes an allocation of its assets between three different investment strategies followed independently by the Franklin, Templeton and Franklin Mutual Series management groups, with the aim to maintain an equal exposure to two global equity strategies and one global fixed income strategy, subject to appropriate monitoring and rebalancing. WHY CONSIDER THIS FUND Access to experienced portfolio management teams. The underlying strategies are managed by the Franklin, Templeton and Franklin Mutual Series teams, respectively. Each one of these organizations has a long history of pursuing strong risk-adjusted performance across a variety of market environments on behalf of clients for more than 50 years. Global investment strategy provides greater diversification. Each of the underlying portfolio management teams has a unique, time-tested approach to global investing. This results in a portfolio that not only provides diversification across equity, fixed income and currency investments but offers the possibility for very limited common holdings between the underlying strategies. This creates a portfolio strategy that seeks out true diversification, not duplication. A simpler approach to asset approach. The fund offers investors the convenience of accessing the three underlying strategy offerings from Franklin Templeton Investments in a single product. Additionally, the fund s allocation to the underlying strategies is monitored and automatically rebalanced to adapt to market movements. This rebalancing feature helps maintain consistent exposure to three distinct investment strategies in any market environment. As of 30 June 2014, Mutual Series was renamed Franklin Mutual Series. As at 31 March 2014, Franklin Templeton Global Fundamental Strategies Fund was renamed Franklin Global Fundamental Strategies Fund. For Professional Investor Use Only. Not for Distribution to Retail Investors.
2 INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY & PROCESS Through an allocation to three independent underlying management teams Franklin Templeton Fixed Income Group, Templeton and Franklin Mutual Series the combined fund provides diversification and an automatic rebalancing feature to help maintain equal exposure to two global equity strategies and one global fixed income strategy. The underlying strategies utilized by the fund bring the unique approach of each management team to provide a portfolio diversified across global equities and fixed income. Each underlying strategy is described in greater detail below: Templeton: The strategy invests primarily in the equity securities of companies located anywhere in the world, including emerging markets, utilizing a bottom-up, valueoriented, long-term approach. Templeton s investment philosophy is based on three tenets that they believe are critical to successful long-term investing: value, patience and bottom-up stock selection. They focus efforts on identifying stocks trading at a discount to what their research indicates a company is worth. The depth of their research provides them the conviction to wait for the market to reflect the fair value of a stock once it s been added to the portfolio. The team s commitment to comprehensive fundamental analysis and original research drives their process to uncover opportunities wherever they may exist. The above chart is for illustration and discussion purposes only. 1. Historical turnover based on Templeton Global Equity Group s overall experience, over a five-year period ended 30 September 2015, and is not intended to reflect the historical turnover of the fund. Please see the fund s fiscal year-end turnover on the Portfolio Summary slide. The turnover is a byproduct of Templeton s long-term approach to managing portfolios, but various factors, such as a portfolio s specific investment parameters and market or economic conditions may cause actual portfolio turnover to vary. For more information regarding an individual strategy s or fund s historical turnover ratio, please contact your Franklin Templeton representative. Franklin Mutual Series: The strategy follows a unique value style, seeking securities that are trading at a substantial discount to their intrinsic value. The Franklin Mutual Series investment team takes a proactive interest in the companies in which it invests; thinking and acting as business owners. Through its proprietary bottom-up research, the team seeks to identify securities which are significantly undervalued in the marketplace and have the potential to appreciate in value, regardless of market movements. The strategy is opportunistic, flexible and benchmarkagnostic. The portfolio team adheres to a bottom-up, valueoriented investment process. The team invests primarily in undervalued securities, merger arbitrage or restructuring opportunities, and the distressed securities of companies going through bankruptcy or reorganization.

3 Franklin Templeton Fixed Income Group: The Franklin Templeton Fixed Income Group seeks to provide superior risk-adjusted returns by anticipating changes in the factors that determine variations in bond prices and currency values. The group adopts an active management approach, based on top-down, in-depth research of the economy and sectors, combined with bottom-up securities valuations and portfolio construction. The strategy invests predominately in bonds issued by governments and government agencies located around the world. The strategy focuses on investment grade bonds but can invest up to 25% in bonds rated below investment grade. The fund may also enter into various currency-related transactions as an additional means by which to enhance returns in any environment. The above chart is for illustrative and discussion purposes only. PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION The fund s managers seek to provide consistent exposure to the underlying strategies through regular rebalancing of portfolio allocations. This provides constant access to the independent expertise of the underlying management groups as they construct their respective portfolios. Templeton Templeton does not use model portfolios. All portfolios are built from the approved stock lists that comprise Templeton s Global Research Database. Portfolio managers select stocks from the Bargain List, which is comprised of companies our analysts believe are most undervalued relative to their longer-term business prospects, and the more attractively valued end of the Core List (stocks that are still attractively valued but above Bargain List cut-offs). Each stock has an established valuation or price target that is set by the analyst responsible for recommending the security, and stocks are purchased only when the price is within this pre-set price range. All holdings are regularly reviewed to ensure that analyst recommendations are up-to-date and accurately reflect any changes in company fundamentals. In this way, our ongoing fundamental research drives all buy and sell decisions. Sell Discipline A stock is moved to the Source of Funds List (those stocks our analysts believe are fully valued) and sold if: The security price exceeds our estimation of value, Greater value exists in another similar security, or A fundamental change occurs at a company to alter our forecasts. Franklin Mutual Series The Franklin Mutual Series team does not actively make any asset allocation decisions. Sector and country weightings are a residual of the stock selection process and there are no established weights or preclusions for any sector. The Franklin Mutual Series team often purchases significant stakes in companies and may also exert influence on management. The focus is entirely on the pursuit of the best investment ideas and portfolios are not constructed with any reference to an index. The team considers cash to be a by-product of the stock selection process. As the analysts search for attractive opportunities, they are acutely aware of potential downside For Professional Investor Use Only. Not for Distribution to Retail Investors. 3
4 risks to securities that may seem "cheap. If they cannot find attractive investments, they have always preferred to hold cash. It is an important aspect of Franklin Mutual Series philosophy, which has been paramount to its long-term success. Sell Discipline Fund managers will sell a security for the following reasons: The security approaches or reaches the analyst s estimate of intrinsic value. The price of the security rises significantly and exceeds a level that the team considers appropriate given their evaluation of its potential risk and return characteristics. The economic fundamentals of the business have changed, causing a reduction in the estimate of the intrinsic value of the company, thereby changing the investment s reward-risk parameters. Franklin Templeton Fixed Income Group To construct the portfolios, team members precisely identify desired currency, duration and credit exposures to reflect the most attractive risk exposures relative to current valuations. These exposures are then isolated and compiled to ensure that only the most attractive opportunities are held. These positions are discussed among Franklin Templeton Investments extended fixed income team to validate positioning. During the implementation phase, traders and other on-theground professionals advise on market flows, trade structuring and local execution. The team takes into consideration the level of risk aversion in the global markets: on a security-by-security basis, the portfolio team maintains a keen awareness of risk, building a portfolio within a specific risk budget. The risk budget will shift, based on relative attractiveness of each security during global economic and credit cycles. The team uses proprietary and state-of-the art, third-party tools to measure risk, including scenario analysis where analysts model potential crises, such as geopolitical risks or oil price shocks, to analyse the impact on currency values and interest rates. The Fund s ability to generate excess returns from currencies, interest rates and credit in a wide variety of economies with differing business cycles makes it an excellent diversifier within a broader portfolio of different asset classes. The fundamentals-driven analysis used by the strategy has enabled the Fund to deliver outstanding returns in a variety of global environments while maintaining an investment-grade credit rating throughout its history. This approach has been especially beneficial in recent periods of financial market stress as the Fund has avoided the severe downturns suffered by some securities. Sell Discipline Positions are sold for one or more of the following reasons: Another name or investment opportunity has substantially greater value; Positions reach target sell levels set by analysts; or The fundamentals of a given issue change, warranting a revaluation of the expected risk return profile. Redemptions from and inflows into the Fund are treated similarly. In the short term, the assets are bought or sold to meet redemptions or subscriptions are put to work based on current market valuations and long-term targets. Fund managers will then continue to optimize the portfolio to achieve target weightings. They generally do not simply allocate new cash or redemptions across all holdings unless this strategy fits with their view on valuations and long-term targets. RISK MANAGEMENT The Fund leverages the depth and experience of Franklin Templeton Investments Portfolio Analysis and Investment Risk (PAIR) Group, which works separately from the portfolio management function, monitoring investment risk for all portfolios managed by the firm. PAIR seeks to integrate investment risk management into the portfolio construction process and continues to improve on detailed decomposition of various risk factors that the portfolios may be exposed to. Through the use of various risk systems, the PAIR Group measures the active risk or tracking error of the portfolio versus the benchmark, identifies the sources of active risk (i.e., country, sector or style differences) and determines which specific issues are the largest contributors to active risk. The Fund s specific investment guidelines and requirements that are set forth by the board of directors of Franklin Templeton Investment Funds (FTIF) and reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure that the risk management process is adhered to: Asset Classes The Fund primarily invests in equity and equity-related securities of companies of any market capitalisation located anywhere in the world, including Emerging Markets as well as debt and debt-related securities issued by government, government-related and/or corporate entities worldwide as well as debt obligations issued by supranational entities organised or supported by several national governments. The Fund may seek exposure to commodities through the use of cash-settled structured products and exchange-traded notes. The Fund may invest in securities of companies involved in mergers, consolidations, liquidations and reorganisations or as to which there exist tender or exchange offers, and may participate in such transactions. It may also invest in lowrated, non- investment grade and defaulted debt securities of For Professional Investor Use Only. Not for Distribution to Retail Investors. 4
5 various issuers, in fixed or floating rate securities, either directly or through regulated investment funds (subject to the limits stated in the prospectus). Country/Regional and Sector Limits There are no limits. Cash Policy Portfolio managers intend to remain close to fully invested at all times. Reported cash and cash equivalent numbers may exceed 10% in extraordinary periods. Currency Policy There are no constant hedge ratios for the Fund. However, currency is an important consideration at the security level for both equity and fixed income. In the fixed income portion, futures and other derivatives may be used for hedging purposes, as well as for expressing positive and negative currency views. Derivatives Financial derivative instruments may be dealt either in regulated markets or over- the-counter, and may include, inter alia, swaps (such as credit default swaps or total return swaps), forwards and cross forwards, futures contracts (including those on government securities), as well as options. Use of financial derivatives may result in negative exposures in a specific yield curve/duration, currency, or credit. In addition to Fund specific constraint and position limits, risk management is integrated into the investment process of the Fund s underlying strategies.
