Fund description

The fund seeks capital appreciation, with income as a secondary goal, by investing at least 80% of its net assets in the securities of issuers outside the United States.

Manager and Commentary

About the Team

Uncompromising value investors

Franklin Mutual Series has been investing with our clients’ interests in mind since 1949. We are more than formulaic value investors. As one team with one focus, we transcend traditional value investing, applying deep fundamental research to find undervalued companies and the catalyst that will unlock that value and deliver results.

Commentary Highlights

September 30, 2025
  • Markets: International equity markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, rose in the third quarter in US dollar terms, as optimism about fiscal spending, the benefits of recent interest rate cuts and the prospects of more shareholder-friendly reforms bolstered stocks. Equity markets also looked past concerns about public finances in France and the United Kingdom and ongoing US tariff uncertainties.
  • Contributors: Stock selection in financials, consumer discretionary and information technology contributed to relative results. Kering, SBI Holdings and Samsung Electronics were among the individual contributors to relative performance.
  • Detractors: Security selection in industrials, consumer staples and materials curbed relative returns. Individual detractors included Capgemini, Teleperformance and Haleon.
  • Outlook: While we believe there are reasons to be optimistic about the markets, we think uncertainty could continue to generate pockets of volatility in the near term. US policy shifts have led European officials to enact changes which we think are bolstering conditions for improved economic growth and competitiveness, that when coupled with already low valuations can create potential for compelling investment opportunities.

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.

Risks

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. The investment style may become out of favor, which may have a negative impact on performance. 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. To the extent the fund invests in companies in a specific country or region, the fund may experience greater volatility than a fund that is more broadly diversified geographically. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. Investments in companies engaged in mergers, reorganizations or liquidations also involve special risks as pending deals may not be completed on time or on favorable terms. 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.

Most funds offer multiple share classes. Share classes are subject to different fees and expenses, which will affect their performance. 

Certain share classes are only offered to eligible investors as stated in the prospectus. Different minimums may apply to clients of certain service agents. All classes of shares are not available through all distribution channels. See the Fund's prospectus for additional information.

Footnotes

  1. Net Asset Value - the amount per share you would receive if you sold shares that day. NAV Change indicates a change in the Net Asset Value from the previous business day.

  2. Figures are aggregate total return figures, have not been annualized and represent the change in value of an investment over the period indicated.

  3. The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or “star rating”, is calculated for managed products with at least a three-year history, and subject to change monthly. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product 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 Overall Morningstar Rating is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total return, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total return. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Ratings do not take into account the effects of sales charges and loads. Morningstar Rating is for the specified share class(es) only; other classes may have different performance characteristics.

Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. 

  4. Net Returns (NR) include income net of tax withholding when dividends are paid.

  5. The MSCI EAFE Value Index captures large and mid cap securities exhibiting overall value style characteristics across Developed Markets countries around the world, excluding the US and Canada.

  6. During periods of rising inflation, fund yields can vary significantly from month-to-month and may not be repeated.

  7. With Waiver means the performance quote reflects any applicable expense reductions and fee waivers.

  8. 30-Day SEC 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.

  9. Gross Expense Ratio reflects the total annual operating expenses for the share class shown, prior to the deduction of any waiver or reimbursement. Actual expenses may be higher and may impact portfolio returns. Net Expense Ratio reflects total expenses after any fee waivers, implemented expense caps or reimbursements. If a fund has contractual fee waivers, expense caps and/or reimbursements, the expiration date can be found by clicking on the information button next to the net expense ratio. Additional amounts may be voluntarily waived and/or reimbursed and may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. Expense ratios are as of the most recent prospectus or annual report.

  10. Net Expense Ratio represents the expense ratio applicable to investors. 

  11. For net asset value (NAV) purchases, a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) may apply to shares redeemed within 18 months.

  12. Dividend yield is calculated without the deduction of fees and expenses. 

  13. Public Offering Price – the purchase price for each share of the fund on a given day.  It includes the maximum initial sales charge, if any.

  14. Prior to 9/10/18, these shares were offered at a higher initial sales charge of 5.75%; thus actual returns would have differed. Total returns with sales charges have been restated to reflect the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.50%.

  15. Special situations includes investments in merger arbitrage and stressed and distressed debt.
