- What Are The Key Risks?
Summary of Fund Objective
To seek to maximise income while maintaining some degree of capital preservation. The Fund mainly invests in US government bonds, including mortgage-backed securities, issued or guaranteed by the US government or related agencies.
Investor Profile
- Seeking a degree of safety of initial investment as well as income.
- Seeking investment primarily in debt securities of the US government and its agencies.
- Planning to hold their investment for the medium to long term.
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 debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies. Such securities have historically proven to present some stability over time and have benefitted from a limited exposure to interest rates or movements in the bond market. As a result, the performance of the Fund can fluctuate to a small degree over time.
- The Fund may distribute income gross of expenses. Whilst this might allow more income to be distributed, it may also have the effect of reducing capital.
- Other significant risks include:
Liquidity risk: the risk that arises when adverse market conditions affect the ability to sell assets when necessary. Such risk may be triggered by (but not limited to) unexpected events such as environmental disasters or pandemics. Reduced liquidity may have a negative impact on the price of the assets.
Securitisation risk: investment in securities which generate return from various underlying groups of assets such as mortgages, loans or other assets may bear a greater risk of loss due to possible default of some of the underlying assets.
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.

Footnotes
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.
The above listed Funds prices are unconfirmed unless stated otherwise and for information only, as they have not yet been verified by the Administrative Agent of the relevant Funds. Neither the Fund itself nor Franklin Templeton accepts responsibility for any reliance placed on the prices indicated and the information included in this data file. Purchase, exchange and redemptions of Shares can only be made on the basis of confirmed prices. Confirmed prices may be obtained after 12pm noon from Franklin Templeton.
