Important Legal Information
- 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.
- All investment involve risks, including possible loss of principal. To the extent the fund focuses on particular countries, regions, industries, sectors or types of investment from time to time, it may be subject to greater risks of adverse developments in such areas of focus than a fund that invests in a wider variety of countries, regions, industries, sectors or investments. Growth stock prices reflect projections of future earnings or revenues, and can, therefore, fall dramatically if the company fails to meet those projections. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager's investment decisions will produce the desired results. The fund may also invest in small- and mid-capitalization companies, which can be particularly sensitive to changing economic conditions, and their prospects for growth are less certain than those of larger, more established companies. Foreign investing carries additional risks such as currency and market volatility, and political or social instability; risks which are heightened in developing countries. These and other risks are described more fully in the fund's prospectus.

- A measure of the fund's volatility relative to the market, as represented by the Russell 1000 Growth Index. A beta greater than 1.00 indicates volatility greater than the market. Based on the 3-year period ended as of the date of the calculation.
- 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.
- 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.
- Indices are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in them. Index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges.
- Net Asset Value — The amount per share you would receive if you sold shares that day.
- Public Offering Price — Purchase price for each share of the fund on a given day. It includes the maximum initial sales charge, if any.
- Prior to 2/14/2020, the fund offered only a single class of shares, without a sales charge and Rule 12b-1 fees, Advisor Class shares. Performance figures reflect a restatement of the Advisor Class performance to include both the Rule 12b-1 fees and sales charges applicable to this share class as though in effect from the fund's inception. For periods after 2/14/2020, actual performance is used, reflecting all charges and fees applicable to that class.
- 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, Franklin International Small Cap Fund and Franklin Focused 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.
- The Gross Expense Ratio does not include an expense reduction contractually guaranteed through January 31, 2021. Fund investment results reflect the fee reduction; without this reduction, the results would have been lower. Please see the prospectus for additional information.
- 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.
- For net asset value (NAV) purchases, a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) may apply to shares redeemed within 18 months. The CDSC for equity, alternative and multi-asset funds is 1% and the CDSC for long-, intermediate- and limited-term fixed income funds is currently 0.75%. Effective on or about March 10, 2020, the CDSC will be 1% for all funds.
- The Morningstar Rating⢠for this share class is based on Morningstar's extended performance calculation. This means that, for a share class that doesn't have a 1-, 3-, 5-, or 10-year performance history, the rating shown is a hypothetical Morningstar Rating based first on the oldest active surviving share class of the fund and then any dormant or liquidated share classes. If more than one share class has the earliest inception date, Morningstar selects the share class that is freely available to investors, that is not currency-hedged, and has the lowest fee.
