All portfolio characteristics are historical and are subject to change. Where a fund invests in emerging markets, this investment can be more risky than an investment in developed markets. Source: Franklin Templeton. 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, is provided to indicate the average credit rating of the portfolio s underlying bonds and generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). The ACQ is determined by assigning a sequential integer to all credit ratings AAA to D, taking a simple, asset-weighted average of debt holdings by market value and rounding to the nearest rating. An ACQ is not a statistical measurement of the portfolio s default risk and is provided for informational purposes only. Derivative positions and unrated securities are not reflected in the ACQ

Information is historical and may not reflect current or future portfolio characteristics. All portfolio holdings are subject to change. Ratings shown are assigned by one or more Nationally Recognized Statistical Credit Rating Organizations ('NRSRO'), such as Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch. The ratings are an indication of an issuer's creditworthiness and typically range from AAA or Aaa (highest) to D (lowest). When ratings from all three agencies are available, the middle rating is used; when two are available, the lowest rating is used; and when only one is available, that rating is used. Foreign government bonds without a specific rating are assigned the country rating provided by an NRSRO, if available. If listed, the NR category consists of rateable securities that have not been rated by an NRSRO; the N/A category consists of nonrateable securities (e.g., equities). Cash and equivalents (defined as bonds with stated maturities, or that can be redeemed at intervals, of seven days or less) as well as derivatives are excluded from this breakdown. As a result, the chart does not reflect the fund's total net assets.
