1 Templeton Emerging Markets Investment Trust CAPITALISE ON TRANSFORMATIONAL GROWTH Image for illustrative purposes only

2 Capitalise on Emerging Market Transformation with Templeton Emerging Markets Investment Trust (TEMIT) Rapid economic growth in emerging markets since the 1980s has transformed what was once a niche asset class into a critically important one representing the economic forces poised to shape global growth in the 21st century. Emerging market economies in countries such as China and Peru are generally growing at a much faster rate than more developed markets such as the US or UK. This exciting growth potential can be accessed through the UK s largest emerging markets investment trust, TEMIT. 1 What Is an Emerging Market? An emerging market is a country listed by the World Bank as having low-to-middle income levels per person, or a country with an underdeveloped stock market. Emerging markets tend to be located in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe and Latin America and include countries such as Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russia, South Korea, Thailand and Turkey. Emerging markets can carry a higher degree of risk than developed markets. Why Invest in Emerging Markets? Over 80% of the global population lives outside the developed world. Per person Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of the emerging world is far higher than the developed world. The impact of billions of consumers generating strong growth could radically reshape the global economy in coming decades. Rising incomes in growing cities are already creating abundant new opportunities for emerging market investors. Favourable demographics and burgeoning urban consumer classes are spurring demand which is creating lucrative markets for many consumerfacing companies.

3 Transform Your Portfolio with TEMIT In 1980, five countries were available to investors as emerging markets. Today there are more than 60. While investors still see emerging markets as a single asset class, these countries vary greatly in their development, politics and the types of companies that drive their economies. As emerging markets evolve, so does the complexity of finding the best investment ideas. That s why we analyse each opportunity uniquely within the context of its relevant market. Government policy, economic infrastructure and personal income levels of a given market can all shape the fortunes of specific companies. How that investment compares to others in the region or across the globe is equally important. Local, on-theground insight is critical for identifying the right companies, capable of navigating the opportunities and challenges in these increasingly diverse economies. A global perspective provides a broader view of a company s prospects for the future. Templeton Emerging Markets Investment Trust Company Characteristics As at 31 March 2016 Lead Manager Carlos Hardenberg Launch Date 12/06/1989 Can be held in an ISA or SIPP Fund Size 1.56 billion Benchmark MSCI Emerging Markets Index Summary of Investment Objective TEMIT seeks long-term capital appreciation through investment in companies operating in emerging markets or whose stocks are listed on the stock markets of such countries. TEMIT may be appropriate for investors who want to invest in emerging markets and are willing to take some risk to their capital for the potential of strong growth over the long term. Emerging market companies can be more volatile than developed markets and an investment in TEMIT could occasionally change in value significantly over the short term. Why Consider TEMIT? Exciting Potential. Emerging markets encompass some of the fastest growing and most dynamic countries in the world. Proven Approach. Using detailed research and a tried and tested investment philosophy, the management team looks beyond the benchmark to securities of companies they believe are undervalued but with the potential to grow in value. When picking emerging market stocks, the management team is free to invest regardless of company size, industry sector or geographical location. Expert Team. Our team of professionals is based in 20 countries with a wealth of specialist emerging market experience. We believe investors interests are best served by being on the ground understanding the culture, language and local dynamics, reviewing companies first hand, rather than just from behind a computer screen. We believe active, informed portfolio management is the best way for investors to capitalise on transformational growth in emerging markets. Templeton Emerging Markets Investment Trust 21

4 Over 25 Years of Investment Success TEMIT Performance The Templeton Emerging Markets Group has used the same tried and tested investment approach to manage TEMIT since it was launched in June They believe it has been instrumental in achieving TEMIT s impressive long-term track record. If you had invested 1,000 at launch and reinvested the dividend payments, it would now be worth over 16,000. You should remember that past performance is not a guide to future performance. Overseas investments are subject to currency fluctuations and emerging markets may be more volatile then established markets. The value of your investment and income from them can go down as well as up and you may get back less than invested.

MARK MOBIUS, PH.D. Executive Chairman Templeton Emerging Markets Group Our performance is measured against the MSCI Emerging Markets Index for reporting purposes, but there is no requirement for the investment management team to invest in the same companies or in the same amount as the index. TEMIT s performance or portfolio positioning may therefore be very different to the index. Shareholders in TEMIT should consider it as a long-term financial commitment.
