2 Market Review Emerging-market (EM) equities significantly outperformed their developedmarket counterparts over the third quarter, driven by a strong rebound in global commodity prices, generally encouraging economic data from China, and EM currency strength against the weaker US dollar. Equity markets in Africa also gained in the third quarter, helped by strong performance in Kenya. Although South Africa rose, it underperformed its global peers as it continued to be impacted by weakness in the rand, political uncertainty and investor outflows. Meanwhile, Nigeria lost ground, affected by the naira s sharp devaluation in August. At a sector level, energy and materials advanced the most, followed by consumer discretionary. Industrials weakened substantially, but it was the only sector to lose ground in the benchmark index. Performance Review and Contributors to Performance The fund advanced over the quarter as all sectors contributed to absolute performance, led by consumer staples, followed by financials and telecommunication services. All markets also contributed to absolute performance, especially Zimbabwe, Kenya, Egypt and South Africa. In consumer staples, Zimbabwe-based brewer Delta Corporation was the strongest contributor amidst a significant bounce in its share price. In Kenya, East African Breweries was strong. Notable detractors in the consumer staples sector included South Africa-based food and staples retailers Pick N Pay Stores and Massmart, as well as Nigeria-based food products company UAC of Nigeria, but their impacts were not enough to substantially weaken the overall sector contribution. Amongst telecommunication services holdings, Kenya-based Safaricom was the key contributor. In the financials sector, Kenya-based KCB Group and Nigeria-based Guaranty Trust Bank were strong performers. However, South Africa-based Standard Bank Group detracted somewhat from returns in the financials sector. Meanwhile, in the health care space, Egyptian International Pharmaceutical Industries aided returns. Elsewhere, amongst consumer discretionary positions, South Africa-based media conglomerate Naspers advanced over the quarter, while multiline retailer Woolworths retreated. Portfolio Positioning Our fund portfolios are constructed using stock-by-stock fundamental analysis. During the third quarter, the portfolio s most substantial country weightings were in South Africa, Kenya and Egypt. The largest sector exposures were to consumer staples, financials and telecommunication services.

4 Investment Outlook We remain attracted to African markets as we believe they have the potential for strong economic growth over the long term. In turn, this growth can produce an environment favourable to corporate profitability and earnings development. In our view, the investment opportunity is bolstered by market valuations for African corporations that often stand below those of their peers in more developed markets. In addition, continued progress towards corporate governance reforms, helped by active shareholders pushing for positive change, may also add to the appeal of the region s equities. In our view, Africa has demonstrated encouraging macroeconomic signs with strong potential for continued improvement. In particular, we are increasingly positive on Nigeria from a macroeconomic perspective as a better oil price, steadying inflation and the currency floatation improve prospects. One-Month Performance Review The fund advanced in September, driven primarily by positions in Zimbabwe. Conversely, South Africa and Kenya detracted the most from absolute returns. In sector terms, consumer staples contributed most to performance. In contrast, financials, telecommunication services and consumer discretionary detracted. Investment Objective The Fund s investment objective is to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing principally in equity and equity-related securities of companies across the market capitalisation spectrum which are (i) incorporated or listed in African countries, and/or (ii) listed or incorporated elsewhere in the world but have their principal business activities in African countries. Investment Philosophy The foundation of the Templeton Emerging Markets Team s investment philosophy value-oriented, patient, bottom-up, global investing has remained consistent for several decades. Its strategy is grounded in patience and the belief that on a short-term basis, stocks overreact to news and noise. On a long-term basis, markets are efficient and patience will reward those who have identified undervalued stocks. Through proprietary research, Templeton seeks to identify quality investments in frequently unfashionable and undervalued stocks. Portfolio Management Team Carlos von Hardenberg is executive vice president and managing director for the Templeton Emerging Markets Group. In this capacity, he is responsible for setting the overall strategy for his respective area, providing guidance and thought leadership, coordinating appropriate resources and coverage, and leveraging the group's expertise to add value across products within the strategy. In addition, he is the portfolio manager for the Templeton Emerging Markets Investment Trust PLC, and collaborates on the Global Emerging Markets strategies. Prior to joining Franklin Templeton in 2002, Mr. von Hardenberg was an analyst in the Corporate Finance Department for Bear Stearns International in London. He entered the financial services industry in Mr. von Hardenberg holds a M.Sc., with distinction, in investment management from London City University Business School (UK) and a B.Sc., with honors, in business studies from the University of Buckingham (UK).
