Overview

Fund Description

The fund seeks total investment return consisting of a combination of interest income, capital appreciation and currency gains by investing primarily in fixed and floating-rate debt securities and debt obligations (including convertible bonds) of governments, government agencies and government-related issuers worldwide, including supranational entities.

Strategy Statement

"We search the world for investment opportunities in yield curves, currencies and credit that can offer attractive potential returns and additional portfolio diversification."

Michael Hasenstab, Ph.D

Strategy & Benefits

Strategy
  • Templeton Global Total Return Fund takes a high conviction approach to investing primarily in government bonds and is not constrained by a traditional global fixed income benchmark. 
  • The Fund's strategy is managed by Templeton Global Macro, utilizing a research-intensive, fundamentals-based approach to seek to capitalize on temporary inefficiencies and capture long-term potential value across yield curves (interest-rates), currencies, and sovereign credit spreads.
  • The Fund's strategy has the flexibility to dynamically adjust across fluctuating market environments and all phases of the investment cycle.
Investment Attributes
  • Global Reach for Attractive Yield: The Fund takes an approach not constrained by its benchmark to pursue compelling yield opportunities across global sovereign bond markets.
  • Research-Driven Country and Currency Selection: High-conviction positioning informed by in-depth macroeconomic and country-specific research potentially delivers distinct sources of returns.
  • A Differentiated Path to Portfolio Diversification: The Fund's flexible mandate and differentiated investment process have historically resulted in low to moderate correlation with other asset classes, potentially adding to broader portfolio diversification.

Investment Philosophy, Strategy and Approach

Investment Philosophy

We believe:

  • An unconstrained approach to global fixed income investing can lead to long-term value potential
  • Integrating global macroeconomic analysis and ESG indicators with in-depth country research can help identify long-term economic imbalances
  • Actively allocating risk across three independent potential sources of return can deliver diversification benefits and the potential for more consistent returns in diverse markets
Investment Strategy
  • Seeks to maximize total investment return consisting of a combination of interest income, currency gains and capital appreciation
  • Utilizes a benchmark-agnostic approach to take advantage of an unconstrained worldview
  • Seeks to maintain a longer-term volatility profile that is commensurate with that of a traditional global government bond index
  • May utilize three independent sources of potential alpha:
    • Yield Curves
    • Currencies
    • Sovereign credit

Annually, a fund must distribute all realized capital gains net of realized losses, so the fund will not be subject to an entity level income tax. A fund’s capital gain distribution in a particular year may be a result of the disposition of holdings that appreciated in value during prior years. Thus, while the fund may gain or lose value over the course of a year, a capital gain distribution paid by the fund may not be indicative of current performance of the fund.

The distributable amount of net capital gains are paid on a per-share basis to all investors who hold shares of the fund on the record date of the distribution and are recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes as of the ex-date of the distribution, regardless of when the gains or losses arose in the fund. Net gains on holdings held long term by the fund would be distributed to shareholders as a long-term capital gain distribution no matter how long the shareholder has owned shares in the fund.

Refer to the fund’s annual report or statement of additional information for specific information regarding distributions.

Risks

What Are the 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. 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.
