Source: Franklin Templeton Investments (FTI), as of 30 June 2019, based on latest available data. Total combined Assets Under Management (Total AUM) combines U.S. and non-U.S. AUM of the investment management subsidiaries of the parent company, Franklin Resources, Inc. (FRI) [NYSE: BEN], a global investment management organisation operating as FTI. Only selected business entities within FTI claim compliance with the GIPS standards as described in the table of contents if applicable. Total and platform AUM includes discretionary and non-discretionary accounts, including pooled investment vehicles, separate accounts and other vehicles. Total and platform AUM may also include advisory accounts with or without trading authority. In addition, assets for which certain FTI advisers provide limited asset allocation advisory services, and assets that are not allocated to FTI products are not included in the AUM figures shown. Franklin Templeton Multi-Asset Solutions may invest in various investment platforms advised by a number of investment advisory entities within FTI. Platform AUM reported for FT Multi-Asset Solutions therefore may include certain AUM separately reported under each utilised investment platform. Total AUM also includes assets managed by certain FTI advisers that do not form part of the selected investment platforms shown. As a result, the combined platform AUMs may not equal Total AUM and may be calculated and reported separately for regulatory or other purposes under each investment adviser. Each local asset manager may be considered as an entity affiliated with or associated to FTI by virtue of being a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of FRI, an entity or joint venture in which FRI owns a partial interest, which may be a minority interest, or a third party asset management company to which investment advisory services have been delegated by an FTI adviser.

1. The expected risk and return profile is provided solely to illustrate the manager’s expectations with respect to fund characteristics, based on the fund’s historical experience during normal market conditions. Thus, the characteristics do not take into account future market risks or changing economic conditions and are not a prediction or guarantee of future performance. An investor in the fund may experience significantly different risk and return characteristics, including greater volatility and lower returns than expected with the potential for loss of principal amounts invested. There is no assurance that the fund will achieve its investment objectives. As stated above, the fund is managed in a benchmark unconstrained manner.

IInvestmentnvestment PPhilosophyhilosophy

We believe: • The Global Sukuk team uses a fundamental research-driven investment approach. • That while various factors can cause markets and securities to trade independently of their underlying fundamentals for periods of time, markets are efficient in the longer-term. We assign significant resources to identify and exploit these inefficiencies. • An actively managed portfolio of lowly-correlated positions, selected on the basis of intensive bottom-up research, and guided by top-down macroeconomic analysis, has the potential to deliver above-benchmark returns over a full market cycle. We aim to manage volatility and downside risk by ensuring that no single position or risk factor dominates the portfolio. • Our approach benefits from Franklin Templeton’s global asset management platform, with institutional-quality capabilities supporting portfolio management, trading, and risk management.

What are the Key Risks?

The value of shares in the Fund and income received from it can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Performance may also be affected by currency fluctuations. Currency fluctuations may affect the value of overseas investments. The Fund invests mainly in Shariah-compliant debt securities, including Sukuk and short-term instruments of any quality issued by entities located in developed and emerging markets. Such securities have historically been subject to price movements, generally due to the supply and demand for financing, other market factors or movements in the Sukuk market. As a result, the performance of the Fund can fluctuate moderately over time. Other significant risks include: emerging markets risk, derivatives risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk, Sukuk risk, Shariah compliance risk. For full details of all of the risks applicable to this Fund, please refer to the “Risk Considerations” section of the Fund in the current prospectus of Franklin Templeton Investment Funds.

Information is historical and may not reflect current or future portfolio characteristics. All portfolio holdings are subject to change. The average credit quality (ACQ) rating may change over time. The portfolio itself has not been rated by an independent rating agency. The letter rating, which may be based on bond ratings from different agencies (or internal ratings for unrated bonds, cash and equivalents), is provided to indicate the average credit rating of the portfolio's underlying investments and generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). For unrated bonds, cash and equivalents, ratings may be assigned based on the ratings of the issuer, the ratings of the underlying holdings of a pooled investment vehicle, or other relevant factors. The ACQ is determined by assigning a sequential integer to all credit ratings AAA to D, taking a simple, asset-weighted average of investments by market value and rounding to the nearest rating. The risk of default increases as a bond's rating decreases, so the ACQ provided is not a statistical measurement of the portfolio’s default risk because a simple, weighted average does not measure the increasing level of risk from lower-rated bonds. The ACQ may be lower if cash and equivalents are excluded from the calculation. The ACQ is provided for informational purposes only. Derivative positions are not reflected in the ACQ. Yield figures quoted should not be used as an indication of the income that has or will be received. Yield figures are based on the portfolio's underlying holdings and do not represent a payout of the portfolio. For professional investor use only.

GGlossarylossary

Average Credit Quality: The credit rating of an Islamic bond is an assessment of the credit worthiness of individuals and corporations. It is based upon the history of borrowing and repayment, as well as the availability of assets and extent of liabilities. The average credit quality of a fund reflects the holdings of the underlying issues, based on the size of each holding. Usually we quote the average credit quality as per Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s credit rating agencies. Average Duration: Also known as “effective” or “McCauley” duration, it is a measure of the sensitivity of the price (the value of principal) of a fixed-income investment to a change in income. Duration is expressed as a number of years. It’s an indication of an issue’s coupon relative to its maturity. Rising income means falling Islamic bond prices; declining income means rising Islamic bond prices. The bigger the duration number, the greater the income risk (or reward for Islamic bond prices). The weighted average duration of a fund reflects the effective duration of the underlying issues, based on the size of each holding. This value differs with “Modified Duration” which is modified for the market (dirty) price of an issue. Average Weighted Maturity: An estimate of the number of terms to maturity, taking the possibility of early payments into account, for the underlying holdings. Average life is calculated using the weighted average time to the receipt of all future cash flows for all holdings. Sometimes also known as “average maturity” for fixed-term products. The weighted average life of a fund reflects the maturity of the underlying issues, based on the size of each holding.

Current Yield: In general, yield is the annual rate of return for any investment and is expressed as a percentage. With Islamic bonds, yield is the effective rate of income paid on an Islamic bond, calculated by the coupon rate divided by the Islamic bond’s market price. Islamic bonds are typically issued with fixed coupon payments (regular cash payments of a fixed amount). Islamic bonds are typically valued in terms of the their yield—what dollar amount as coupon payments is received as compared to the Islamic bond’s current market price. For an Islamic bond fund, the current yield may be the disclosed yield paid out to investors.

Yield to Maturity: Yield to Maturity (“YTM”) also known as the “Gross Redemption Yield” or “Redemption Yield.” The rate of return anticipated on an Islamic bond if it is held until the maturity date. YTM is considered a long-term Islamic bond yield expressed as an annual rate. The calculation of YTM takes into account the current market price, par value, coupon income and time to maturity. It is also assumed that all coupons are reinvested at the same rate.

Yield to Worst: The yield to maturity if the worst possible Islamic bond repayment takes place. If market yields are higher than the coupon, the yield to worst would assume no prepayment. If market yields are below the coupon, the yield to worst would assume prepayment. In other words, yield to worst assumes that market yields are unchanged. Normally this value is not aggregated since it varies but if a weighted average value is used for a fund, then the figure will reflect the values of the underlying issues, based on the size of each holding.

a Firm Description - Franklin Templeton Investments (ME) Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. managing equity, fixed income and global Sukuk-Shariah compliant fixed income securities serving retail and institutional clients. The equity process applies a bottom-up fundamental research approach to invest in equity securities located in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), as well as a top-down process to country allocation selection. The fixed income process applies a mix of bottom up, top down and quantitative approaches to invest in fixed income securities located in the Middle East, North Africa, Emerging Asia and Sukuk markets.

b Composite Description - The Franklin Global Sukuk Composite consists of all portfolios managed on a fully discretionary basis with an investment objective that seeks to maximize total return by investing in fixed and floating-rate Shariah-compliant securities (including non-investment grade securities), including Sukuk Wakala and Murabaha placements and other short-term instruments issued by government, government-related and corporate entities located in developed and developing countries. The portfolios may utilize investments in securities, financial derivative instruments or structured products in which the underlying security is linked to or derives its value from a distinct security, asset, commodity or currency of any nation. Composite constituents may invest in Islamic derivatives, specifically Islamic FX and Islamic profit-rate swaps; Shariah-compliant asset-backed and exchangeable securities. Use of financial derivatives instruments may result in negative exposures in a specific yield curve/duration, currency or credit. Derivative instruments have the risk of counterparty default. Foreign investing, especially in developing countries, has additional risks such as currency and market volatility and political or social instability. The base currency of the composite is USD. The inception date of the composite is 30 September 2008. The composite creation date is December 2012. Eligible new accounts and eligible accounts that have changed to this mandate are added to the composite after one full month of performance, excluding any first partial month following inception or notification of mandate change. Accounts are removed the month prior to notification of termination or notification of client directed restrictions that result in the account becoming non- discretionary.

c Basis of Presentation and Calculation Methodology -Total returns are both gross and net of investment advisory fees, are inclusive of commissions and transaction costs, and assume reinvestment of any dividends, profit rate, capital gains or other earnings. Dividends, profit rate , and capital gains are net of any applicable withholding taxes. Both gross and net performance results are time-weighted rates of return, including realized and unrealized gains and losses. Gross of fee returns for pooled investment vehicles are calculated by adding back 1/12 of the pooled investment vehicle’s total annual expense ratio to the monthly returns which are based on the net asset values for the primary share class. The total expense ratio reflects the investment management fees, administrative fees and all other pooled vehicle-related expenses for the primary share class but do not include any sales charges. Monthly composite returns are calculated by weighting each account’s monthly return by its beginning market value as a percent of the total composite beginning market value. Quarterly and annual returns are calculated by linking the monthly returns through compounded multiplication. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. For separate accounts, net performance reflects actual investment management fees charged, assessed quarterly in arrears, and actual performance fees as applicable. For all pooled investment vehicles (including commingled trust accounts), third party administered accounts, including accounts that use custodian market values where actual fees are not available, or accounts which are otherwise not charged a fee or benefit from fee waivers, net performance is reduced by performance fees if applicable and investment management fees by applying the highest breakpoint from the standard institutional fee schedule to the gross monthly returns regardless of asset size. Portfolios are valued on the last business day of the month or the last business day within the region. The last business day within the region may be a non-calendar month end. Portfolios may be valued at fair market value on a trade date basis and market values include accrued income for fixed income securities and accrued dividends for equity securities based on ex-dividend date. In addition, some portfolios may be valued at fair market value with adjustment for cash flows based on the regional business day which may be monthly, weekly or daily. Where market quotations are readily available, securities are valued thereon (using closing quotations when available), provided such quotations adequately reflect, in the judgment of the firm, the fair value of the securities. Positions for which no quotation is readily available are valued at fair market value using quotations from brokers, Bloomberg or using Franklin ‘s own assessment of fair market value based on fundamental analysis (earnings multiples, price to cash flow analysis), discounts from market prices of similar securities, or matrix pricing, among other methods. Securities not in the base currency of the portfolio are generally valued using foreign exchange rates obtained through Reuters, using 4:00 PM (New York time) foreign exchange (FX) rates. Some composite constituents, due to requests from clients or approval by respective mutual fund boards, may utilize London Close FX rates. Franklin uses London Close FX rates for converting non-base currency accounts to the base currency of the composite. Past performance does not guarantee future results and may differ for future time periods.

d Description of Index - The primary benchmark is Dow Jones Sukuk TR Index. This index is a market cap weighted index comprised of issues from global U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade bonds that are Shariah-compliant based on an explicit or implicit rating of at least BBB-/Baa3 by S&P, Moody’s or a leading rating agency. Total return components for the benchmark include price change, coupon payments excluding reinvestment and accrued profit rate not adjusted for foreign withholding taxes and are based on foreign exchange rates established at the London close (or mid-day New York time). As of 12/31/12 Dow Jones Sukuk TR Index with coupon reinvested was discontinued. FX rates used by index vendors are obtained from their respective FX vendors and may differ slightly from the FX rates used by Franklin. The benchmark, which is not managed, is used for comparative purposes only and is provided to represent the investment environment existing during the time periods shown. Additionally, the benchmark does not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges.

e Minimum Account Size - There is no minimum account size required to be included in this composite.

f Standard Fee Schedule - The standard investment management fee schedule has breakpoints depending on asset size, with the result that accounts with higher assets levels will pay a lower fee. Investment management fees are negotiable, so some clients may be able to negotiate a fee that is less than the standard fee schedule at a given breakpoint. For pooled investment vehicles such as mutual funds that may be in the composite, the total expense ratio may be higher than the standard fee schedule for separate accounts, depending on the total expenses for that vehicle which includes management fees, administrative fees, and the other expenses. The fee schedule is presented in USD.

Breakpoints Separate Accounts First $100,000,000 0.425% Next $150,000,000 0.350% Over $250,000,000 0.300%

g Measure of Dispersion - Dispersion represents the consistency of the Franklin’s results with respect to individual portfolio returns within the composite. The dispersion of annual returns is measured by the standard deviation of equal-weighted returns for those accounts that were in the composite for each full calendar year, or partial year for the most recent year-to-date. Dispersion is not meaningful when there are five or fewer accounts in a given year or time period, so is not presented for periods when this is applicable.

h 3 Year Standard Deviation - The annualized three year standard deviation measures the variability of the composite and benchmark returns over the preceding 36 month period as of each period end.
