Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, and investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods. Total returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. Returns with sales charge reflect a deduction of the stated maximum sales charge. Returns without sales charge would have been lower had sales charges been reflected. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

Manager and Commentary
About the Team
Templeton Global Macro employs a research-intensive, high-conviction approach to investing in the global sovereign debt market. Blending rigorous country-by-country research and top-down macro analysis, the team seeks to identify the most compelling longer-term opportunities across interest-rates, currencies, and sovereign credit spreads.
Commentary Highlights
March 31, 2026- Markets: Growth data was mixed over the first quarter of 2026, showing fourth-quarter outcomes weak in the United States as a result of the government shutdown, modest but stable in the euro area and rebounding in Japan, as capital expenditure in particular was robust. Financial markets were dominated largely by the effects of the Middle East conflict later in the quarter. The US dollar (USD) rose, supported by it traditionally being perceived as a safe haven in times of risk aversion. Global monetary policy largely seemed to be in the late stages of its easing cycle, with pauses and slower rate cuts becoming more common, but the surge in oil prices following the onset of the war led to uncertainty about both growth and inflation outcomes. The US Federal Reserve (Fed) kept the policy rate unchanged over the quarter, as did most other developed market central banks, including the European Central Bank (ECB). In bond markets, most developed market and emerging market (EM) sovereign bond yields rose during the period, as stagflationary concerns dominated moves following the onset of the war in the Middle East. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note rose 15 basis points to end the quarter at 4.32% (after having fallen to 3.94% in the immediate reaction to the start of the Middle East conflict).
- OverallContributors: Interest-rate strategies contributed to absolute fund performance.
- OverallDetractors: Currency positions detracted from absolute fund results.
- Outlook: Despite the war, recent developments around trade and other economic relationships continue to support our thesis that global rewiring is underway.

Risks
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations and social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on performance. Liquidity risk exists when securities or other investments become more difficult to sell, or are unable to be sold, at the price at which they have been valued. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks, and possible loss of principal. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls. Low-rated, high-yield bonds are subject to greater price volatility, illiquidity and possibility of default. 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 portfolio is, or could become, non-diversified and may invest in a relatively small number of issuers, which may negatively impact the performance and result in greater fluctuation in value. The manager may consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in the research or investment process; however, ESG considerations may not be a determinative factor in security selection. In addition, the manager may not assess every investment for ESG criteria, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated. These and other risks are discussed in the fund's prospectus.
