Important Legal Information

  • CFA® and Chartered Financial Analyst® are trademarks owned by CFA Institute.
  • For investors subject to the alternative minimum tax, a small portion of fund dividends may be taxable. Distributions of capital gains are generally taxable. To avoid the imposition of 28% backup withholding on all fund distributions and redemption proceeds, U.S. investors must be properly certified on Form W-9 and non-U.S. investors on Form W-8BEN.
  • All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Because municipal bonds are sensitive to interest rate movements, the fund's yield and share price will fluctuate with market conditions. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as prices of bonds in the fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the fund's share price may decline. Because the fund invests principally in a single state, it is subject to greater risk of adverse economic and regulatory changes in that state than a geographically diversified fund. Puerto Rico municipal bonds have been impacted by recent adverse economic and market changes, which may cause the fund's share price to decline. Changes in the credit rating of a bond, or in the credit rating or financial strength of a bond's issuer, insurer or guarantor, may affect the bond's value. The fund may invest a significant part of its assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of projects, such as utilities, hospitals, higher education and transportation. A change that affects one project would likely affect all similar projects, thereby increasing market risk.
  • Total Returns include change in share price, assume reinvestment of all distributions, and reflect the deduction of fund expenses and applicable fees. Total Returns With Sales Charge: returns reflect the deduction of the stated sales charge. Total returns, distribution rate, and yields reflect any applicable expense reductions, without which the results for those impacted funds would have been lower.
  • Class R6 shares are only offered to certain eligible investors as stated in the prospectus. They are offered without sales charges or Rule 12b-1 fees.
  • Your clients should carefully consider a fund's investment goals, risks, charges and expenses before investing. Download a prospectus, which contains this and other information. Your clients should read the prospectus carefully before they invest or send money.
  • Advisor Class, Class R, Class R6 and Class Z shares are only offered to certain eligible investors as stated in the prospectus. The fund offers multiple share classes, which are subject to different fees and expenses that will affect their performance. Please see the prospectus for details. Change the share class selection in the dropdown at the top of this page in order to see its performance details.

Footnotes

  1. A measure of the sensitivity of the price (the value of principal) of a fixed-income investment to a change in interest rates. Duration is expressed as a number of years. The weighted average duration of a fund reflects the effective duration of the underlying issues, based on the size of each holding.
  2. The fund's 30-Day Standardized Yield is calculated using the net income (interest and dividends) per share earned over a trailing 30-day period (annualized), divided by the fund's share price at the end of that period. It may not equal the fund's actual income distribution rate, which reflects the fund's past dividends paid to shareholders.
  3. Net Asset Value — The amount per share you would receive if you sold shares that day.
  4. A statistical measurement of a fund's historical risk-adjusted performance. It is calculated by taking a fund's excess return over that of the three-month Treasury bill divided by its standard deviation. Higher values generally indicate better historical risk-adjusted performance.
  5. Portfolio holdings are subject to change.
  6. Securities, except for those labeled Not Rated ("NR"), are assigned ratings by one or more Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations ("NRSRO"), such as Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch, that can be considered by the investment manager as part of its independent security analysis. When ratings from multiple agencies are available, the highest is used, consistent with the portfolio investment process. Ratings reflect an NRSRO's opinion of an issuer's creditworthiness and typically range from SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest) and long-term ratings typically ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). The Refunded category consists of refunded bonds secured by U.S. government or other high-quality securities and not rerated by an NRSRO. The Not Rated category consists of ratable securities that have not been rated by an NRSRO. Cash Includes equivalents, which may be rated.
  7. Source: Morningstar®. For each mutual fund and exchange traded fund with at least a 3-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on how a fund ranks on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure against other funds in the same category. This measure takes into account variations in a fund's monthly performance, and does not take into account the effects of sales charges and loads, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The weights are: 100% 3-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% 5-year rating/40% 3-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% 5-year rating/20% 3-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent 3-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Morningstar Rating is for the named share class only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. Past performance is not an indicator or a guarantee of future performance.
  8. A statistical measurement of a fund's historical risk-adjusted performance. It is calculated by taking a fund's excess return over that of the three-month Treasury bill divided by its standard deviation. Higher values generally indicate better historical risk-adjusted performance. Based on the 3 years ended as of the date of the calculation.
  9. The Fund's portfolio is generally widely diversified among issuers of municipal securities. From time to time, however, the Fund may have a significant position in the municipal securities of a particular state or territory, such as Puerto Rico. Under these circumstances, changes in the economic conditions in that state or territory are likely to affect the Fund's investments and performance. In February 2014, rating agencies downgraded Puerto Rico's general obligation debt and some related bonds below investment grade, with further downgrades possible. Portfolio holdings and details listed above may not reflect the most current ratings information available.
  10. Calculated according to the modified duration formula. Duration is an indication of a fund's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Please note, duration numbers will change as market conditions change; therefore duration should not solely be relied upon to indicate a municipal bond fund's potential volatility.
  11. A statistical measurement of the range of a fund's total returns. In general, a higher standard deviation means greater volatility. Based on the fund's monthly returns over the 3-year period ended as of the date of the calculation.

  15. Effective 6/1/2019, the fund's benchmark is the Linked Bloomberg Barclays Muni M.F. CA Intermediate/10-Year Muni Bond Index. The Linked Bloomberg Barclays Muni M.F. CA Intermediate/10-Year Muni Bond Index reflects performance of the Bloomberg Barclays 10-Year Municipal Bond Index from the fund's inception through 11/29/1993 and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal M.F. CA Intermediate Index thereafter..
  16. The annualized percentage difference between a fund's actual returns and its expected performance given its level of market risk, as measured by beta.
  17. Performance quotations for this class reflect the following methods of calculation: a) For periods prior to the fund's Advisor Class inception dale, a restated figure is used based on the fund's oldest share class, Class Al performance, excluding the effect of Class Al's maximum initial sales charge but reflecting the effect of the Class Al Rule 12b-1 fees; and b) for periods after the fund's Advisor Class inception date, actual Advisor Class performance is used, reflecting all charges and fees applicable to that class. Effective 10/31/08, the fund began offering Advisor Class shares.
  18. Effective August 1, 2017, the fund began offering Class R6 shares. Performance quotations have been calculated as follows: (a) for periods prior to August 1, 2017, a restated figure is used based on the fund's Advisor Class/Class Z performance, adjusted to take into account differences in class specific operating expenses and (b) for periods after August 1, 2017, actual Class R6 performance is used, reflecting all charges and fees applicable to that class.
  19. For performance reporting purposes, the inception date for Classes A/A1, R, R6, Z, and Advisor Class shares of all Franklin Templeton Funds is the date of effectiveness of the fund's registration statement or the first day the fund commenced operations. For Class C shares, generally the inception date is the first day the fund commenced offering such shares. Exceptions: Templeton Global Balanced Fund Classes A and C use the inception date of the old Class A and C shares, renamed Class A1 and Class C1. For Franklin Mutual Series Funds and Franklin International Small Cap Growth Fund, the inception date for Classes A, C, R and R6 shares is the funds' oldest class', Z or Advisor, inception date. Franklin U.S. Government Money Fund Class R6 inception date is the first day it commenced offering such shares.
  20. The hypothetical scenario does not take into account federal, state or municipal taxes. If taxes were taken into account, the hypothetical values shown would have been lower.
  21. Public Offering Price — Purchase price for each share of the fund on a given day. It includes the maximum initial sales charge, if any.
  22. The Gross Expense Ratio does not include an expense reduction contractually guaranteed through 10/31/20. Fund investment results reflect the fee reduction; without this reduction, the results would have been lower. Please see the prospectus for additional information.
