5 Specialized Expertise from Independent Teams We are dedicated to offering a wide range of high-quality investment solutions including mutual funds, separate accounts, commingled trusts, private equity and other vehicles designed to serve a variety of client needs and risk appetites worldwide. Each of our investment groups Franklin, Templeton, Mutual Series and our specialized investment teams 5 follows an independent and distinct investment philosophy. For example, this means that a client who invests in a Franklin equity portfolio and a Mutual Series equity portfolio will typically see only a small percentage of stocks held [in common] in both portfolios. In this way, our investors may pursue significant diversification within a single firm. Our Global Perspective Is Supported by a Global Platform Our products and investment teams are supported by a single, unified global platform of services, including: operations, technology, compliance, sales, client services and marketing. We believe that this global platform allows each investment team to focus on maximizing the performance of its investment portfolios. In addition, this structure helps to achieve our goal of ensuring that each client receives truly global support, as well as access to our best products and ideas.

10 Managing Risk in a Complex World Risk management is fundamental to our investment process. Investing across market cycles for 65 years has taught us to expect the unexpected and to have the people and processes in place to navigate both the risks and opportunities of the global marketplace. Risk Management at Franklin Templeton Investments Risk is inherent to market participation. That is why we take a comprehensive, disciplined approach to risk management, looking at risk and return from multiple angles. Our process begins with the belief that risks must be: Recognized Rational Rewarded We strive to ensure that risks are recognized and understood at the security, portfolio and operational level. We affirm that each risk decision is an intentional and rational part of the portfolio s strategy. We seek to ensure that every risk offers the opportunity for a commensurate reward. EXPERIENCED PORTFOLIO MANAGERS AND TIME-TESTED INVESTMENT STRATEGIES Our portfolio managers and research analysts implement a fundamental, research-driven approach to asset management across all strategies. They actively assess risk at each stage of the investment life cycle including during investment selection, portfolio construction and ongoing portfolio evaluation. 8 FRANKLIN TEMPLETON INVESTMENTS

20 A true citizen of the world, Benjamin Franklin brought a global perspective to his work as a statesman, scientist and philanthropist. As one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, he epitomized the ideas of frugality and prudence when it came to saving and investing. His valuable wisdom inspired the name of our firm at its founding in 1947 and continues to inspire us today.
