Templeton Global Bond Fund TAP INTO A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY

Franklin Templeton Investments Gain From Our Perspective Franklin Templeton s distinct multi-manager structure combines the specialized expertise of four world-class investment management groups Franklin, Templeton, Franklin Mutual Series and Franklin Bissett. SPECIALIZED EXPERTISE Each of our portfolio management groups operates autonomously, relying on its own research and staying true to the unique investment disciplines that underlie its success. Franklin. Founded in 1947, Franklin is a recognized leader in fixed income investing and also brings expertise in growth- and valuestyle equity investing. Templeton. Founded in 1940, Templeton pioneered international investing and, in 1954, launched what has become one of the industry s oldest global funds.* Today, with offices in over 25 countries, Templeton offers investors a truly global perspective. Franklin Mutual Series**. Founded in 1949, Franklin Mutual Series is dedicated to a unique style of value investing, searching aggressively for opportunity among what it believes are undervalued stocks, as well as arbitrage situations and distressed securities. TRUE DIVERSIFICATION Because our management groups work independently and adhere to different investment approaches, Franklin, Templeton, Franklin Mutual Series and Franklin Bissett funds typically have distinct portfolios. That s why our funds can be used to build truly diversified allocation plans covering every major asset class. RELIABILITY YOU CAN TRUST At Franklin Templeton Investments, we continuously seek to provide our shareholders with strong risk-adjusted returns over the long term, as well as the reliable, accurate and personal service that has helped us become one of the most trusted names in financial services. Franklin Bissett***. Founded in 1982, Franklin Bissett has provided high-quality investment management solutions that help individuals and institutions build and maintain wealth. With equity expertise across the market cap and yield spectrum and fixed income expertise across multiple sectors, Franklin Bissett s investment strategy seeks to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns over time. * The inception date of Series A of the Templeton Growth Fund, Ltd. is November 29, 1954. ** Franklin Mutual Series was previously named Mutual Series. *** Franklin Bissett Investment Management, previously named Bissett Investment Management, is part of Franklin Templeton Investments Corp.

The Strategy Searching the World for Global Bond, Currency and Interest Rate Opportunities FOR OVER 20 YEARS, TEMPLETON GLOBAL BOND FUND has scoured the globe for the best bond and currency values in order to meet its goal of providing current income with capital appreciation and growth of income. The fund invests predominantly in bonds of governments and government agencies located around the world, with a focus on investment grade securities. Simply stated, we strive to identify economic imbalances that may lead to opportunities across the three C s curve, currency and credit. 1] 2] 3] GLOBAL ECONOMIC OVERVIEW We take a top-down approach, analyzing various countries around the world and their respective economies, geopolitical risks, interest rates and currencies to find investment opportunities for the fund. The fund s flexibility to invest in any country or currency, including emerging markets, allows us to take advantage of prevailing macroeconomic trends. LOCAL MARKET RESEARCH Our quantitative and qualitative analysis is supplemented with on-the-ground research. In addition to our own travels and meetings with foreign government and bank officials, we leverage the resources of our offices around the world to provide us with additional local insight on the countries we are considering investing in. We believe this hands-on research is essential to our process and has enabled us to identify investment opportunities and risks over the years that a solely Canadian-based manager might miss. PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION We invest in a country s sovereign debt (credit) where we believe bonds are underpriced and country fundamentals offer the potential for price appreciation. We typically invest in local currencies, though we may hedge our currency exposure depending on valuations. We also take country interest rate (curve) environments into account. If rates are poised to rise, we ll invest in short duration debt. In this way, we actively manage interest rate risk on a country-by-country basis. And lastly, our investment decisions are ultimately driven by valuations and we don t necessarily adhere to the fund s benchmark, as the investment process is benchmark agnostic. To complement my Canadian-focused portfolio, I am looking to invest in a bond fund that strives to capitalize on opportunities in global fixed income markets. www.franklintempleton.ca Templeton Global Bond Fund 1

The Benefits 1] 2] 3] EXPERIENCED MANAGEMENT TEAM Portfolio managers Michael Hasenstab and Sonal Desai have 19 and 20 years of industry experience between them and are backed by a large team of investment professionals from around the world. 1 FOREIGN MARKETS PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY The world s best-performing bond markets vary from year to year. While the Canadian bond market has performed well over the past 10 calendar years, adding global fixed income securities to a portfolio of domestic securities offers Canadian investors greater diversification and the potential for reduced volatility. 2 Please remember, diversification does not assure a profit or protect against a loss. SOLID PERFORMANCE WITH COMPETITIVE VOLATILITY Solid, long-term performance is important, but prudent investors are also concerned about volatility. The flexibility and wide variety of opportunities Templeton Global Bond Fund invests in around the world may help reduce overall portfolio volatility, while still providing solid performance over the long term. Please note that past performance does not guarantee future results.

Ratings shown are assigned by one or more Nationally Recognized Statistical Credit Rating Organizations ( NRSRO ), such as Standard & Poor s, Moody s and Fitch. The ratings are an indication of an issuer s creditworthiness and typically range from AAA or Aaa (highest) to D (lowest). When ratings from all three agencies are available, the middle rating is used; when two are available, the lowest rating is used; and when only one is available, that rating is used. Foreign government bonds without a specific rating are assigned the country rating provided by an NRSRO, if available. The NR category consists of ratable securities that have not been rated by an NRSRO. The N/A category consists of nonrateable securities (e.g., equities). Cash and equivalents (defined as bonds with stated maturities, or that can be redeemed at intervals of seven days or less) as well as derivatives are excluded from this breakdown. As a result, the chart does not reflect the fund s total net assets. 6. Due to rounding, the sum of portfolio holdings may not equal 100%. 7. EMU countries consist of Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Estonia, Cyprus, Slovakia and Malta. 8. A supranational is an entity formed by two or more central governments through international treaties to promote economic development for the member countries. 9. Duration shown is the option-adjusted duration. Duration is an indication of a fund s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The option-adjusted duration formula takes into account embedded call options and redemption features that impact a bond s expected cash flow, and thus its interest rate sensitivity. www.franklintempleton.ca Templeton Global Bond Fund 3

The Power of Dollar-Cost Averaging Regular Investments May Help You Reach Your Long-Term Goals Dollar-cost averaging is a proven investment technique that may help lower the average cost of the shares you purchase. For example, by investing a fixed dollar amount of $1,000 each month, you buy more shares when the price is low and fewer shares when the price is high. As a result, your average share cost may be less than the average price per share. $600,000 $500,000 An investor who invests $12,000 annually can take advantage of the fund s performance over time. 12 $596,981 Fund Market Value $400,000 $300,000 $306,000 Total Investment $200,000 $100,000 $0 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Total Investment Fund Market Value December Total Investment Fund Market Value 1988 $6,000 $6,147 1989 $18,000 $18,776 1990 $30,000 $35,138 1991 $42,000 $52,151 1992 $54,000 $70,644 1993 $66,000 $91,271 1994 $78,000 $102,725 1995 $90,000 $127,713 1996 $102,000 $153,572 1997 $114,000 $164,326 1998 $126,000 $185,217 1999 $138,000 $177,270 2000 $150,000 $197,785 December Total Investment Fund Market Value 2001 $162,000 $219,025 2002 $174,000 $272,842 2003 $186,000 $279,645 2004 $198,000 $301,636 2005 $210,000 $289,144 2006 $222,000 $340,945 2007 $234,000 $330,490 2008 $246,000 $423,524 2009 $258,000 $452,643 2010 $270,000 $502,445 2011 $282,000 $517,269 2012 $294,000 $569,737 2013 $306,000 $596,981 Average Unit cost = $9.49 Average price per Unit = $9.57 12.

Are You Looking for Income? Look for an Established Track Record of Distributions If you count on your investments to supplement your income, two of your biggest concerns may be capital preservation and reliability. Your standard of living depends on your ability to cover monthly bills and adapt to any unexpected expenses that may arise. Templeton Global Bond Fund has a history of paying income distributions to its investors on a regular basis, while growing the investment capital. In fact, the fund has paid out a distribution every month since making its first payment in August 1988. The table below shows a $100,000 investment at the fund s inception in July 1988. While the amount has varied from month to month (as shown below), these distributions have been paid out consistently over time. The fund has paid a high level of income without returning initial investor capital.
