The base currency of a fund determines the risk-free rate index used in calculating certain risk statistics on this page. A fund that is based in USD uses the US T-Bill Index as the risk free rate return, a EUR-
based fund uses the Euro 3-Month T-Bill Index, a GBP-based fund uses the UK Treasury Bills 3 Month Index, a JPY-based fund uses the Japan Financing Bill 3 Month Index, and an AUD-based fund uses
the Australia T-Note 3 Month Index.
When performance for either the portfolio or its benchmark has been converted, different foreign exchange closing rates may be used between the portfolio and its benchmark.

Information is historical and may not reflect current or future portfolio characteristics. All portfolio holdings are subject to change.
The portfolio characteristics listed are based on the fund’s underlying holdings, and do not necessarily reflect the fund’s characteristics. Due to data limitations all equity holdings are assumed to be the
primary equity issue (usually the ordinary or common shares) of each security’s issuing company. This methodology may cause small differences between the portfolio’s reported characteristics and the
portfolio’s actual characteristics. In practice, Franklin Templeton’s portfolio managers invest in the class or type of security which they believe is most appropriate at the time of purchase.
The dividend yield quoted here is the yield on securities within the portfolio and should not be used as an indication of the income received from this portfolio.

Glossary

Batting Average: A measure of the number of months in which the portfolio return exceeded or matched the index divided by the total number of monthly return periods. For example, portfolio which
exceeds or matches the index half of the time would have a batting average of 50%.

Beta: A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio's past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of the overall market (or appropriate market index). The market (or index) is assigned
a beta of 1.00, so a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the overall market rose or fell by 10%.

Dividend Yield: The annual dividend received on an equity security as a percentage of the price. For a portfolio, the value represents a weighted average of the stocks it holds. It should not be used
as an indication of the income received from this portfolio.

Downside Capture Ratio: Explains how well a portfolio performed in time periods where the benchmark’s returns were less than zero. A downside capture ratio of less than 100 indicates that a fund
lost less than its benchmark during periods of losses for the benchmark.

Estimated 3-5 Yr EPS Growth: An estimated measure of the growth of earnings per share over a forward-looking period. For a portfolio, the value represents a weighted average of the stocks it
holds.

Historical 3 Yr EPS Growth: A measure of the growth of earnings per share over a trailing 3 year period. For a portfolio, the value represents a weighted average of the stocks it holds.

Historical 3 Yr Sales Growth: The rate at which sales have increased for the fund's underlying holdings over the last three years.

Information Ratio: In investing terminology, the ratio of expected return to risk. Usually, this statistical technique is used to measure a manager's performance against a benchmark. This measure
explicitly relates the degree by which an investment has beaten the benchmark to the consistency by which the investment has beaten the benchmark.

Net Debt to Equity (ex Banks): A financial leverage ratio calculated by dividing a company's total liabilities by its shareholder equity.

Net Margin: The ratio of net profits to revenues for a company or business segment that shows how much of each dollar earned by the company is translated into profits.

Price to Book: The price per share of a stock divided by its book value (i.e., net worth) per share. For a portfolio, the value represents a weighted average of the stocks it holds.

Price to Cash Flow: Supplements price/earnings ratio as a measure of relative value for a stock. For a portfolio, the value represents a weighted average of the stocks it holds.

Price to Earnings (12-month Trailing): The share price of a stock, divided by its per-share earnings over the past year. For a portfolio, the value represents a weighted average of the stocks it
holds.

Glossary (continued)

Return on Assets: The return on assets (ROA) shows the percentage of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. The higher the ROA number, the better, because the company is
earning more money on less investment.

Return on Equity: A measure of a corporation's profitability that reveals how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested. For a portfolio, the value represents a
weighted average of the stocks it holds.

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC): A profitability ratio that measures the return that an investment generated for those who have provided capital, such as bondholders and stockholders. ROIC
indicates how well company has turned capital into profits. For a portfolio, the value represents a weighted average of the individual holdings.

Sharpe Ratio: To calculate a Sharpe ratio, an asset's excess returns (its return in excess of the return generated by risk-free assets such as Treasury bills) are divided by the asset's standard
deviation.

Standard Deviation: A measure of the degree to which a fund's return varies from the average of its previous returns. The larger the standard deviation, the greater the likelihood (and risk) that a
fund's performance will fluctuate from the average return.

Tracking Error: Measure of the deviation of the return of a fund compared to the return of a benchmark over a fixed period of time. Expressed as a percentage. The more passively the investment
fund is managed, the smaller the tracking error.
Upside Capture Ratio: Explains how well a fund performed in time periods where the benchmark’s returns were greater than zero. An upside capture ratio over 100 indicates that a fund generally
outperformed the benchmark during periods of positive returns for the benchmark.
