The Benefits of Bonds Bonds Can Help Preserve Wealth Nobody knows with certainty what will happen next in the financial markets, but looking to the past you can gain a sense of what is possible. While long-term stock returns have edged out those of bonds, stock prices have historically tended to be much more volatile.

Bonds Can Help Contribute to Portfolio Growth over the Long Term Lower portfolio volatility may be an important factor in helping you stay invested over the long term. As shown below, a portfolio that consists of 60% stocks and 40% bonds may be less vulnerable to the sharp stock market swings of an all-stock portfolio. For example, between 2000 and 2002, the all-stock portfolio suffered over three times the decline of the 60% stocks/40% bonds portfolio. 500% Bonds Can Help Balance a Stock Portfolio 3 Cumulative Total Return 20-Year Period Ended December 31, 2015 400% 300% S&P 500 Index 382.50% 329.83% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index 40%/ S&P 500 Index 60% 200% 100% 0% 12/95 12/99 12/03 12/07 12/11 12/15 Bonds May Help Reduce the Negative Impact of Volatility in the Short Term 3 Cumulative Total Return 10-Year Period Ended December 31, 2015 150% 100% 50% S&P 500 Index 102.42% 91.70% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index 40%/ S&P 500 Index 60% 0% -50% 12/05 12/07 12/09 12/11 12/13 12/15 Charts are for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect the past or future performance of any Franklin Templeton fund. 3. 2016 Morningstar, 12/31/15.

Different Needs Require Different Strategies We ve highlighted six common investor needs, along with corresponding fixed income fund strategies. Your financial advisor can help you choose among the different fixed income funds discussed on this page based on your individual investment objective, time frame and risk tolerance. Need Fixed Income Fund Solution Franklin Templeton Funds Class A One Diversified Income Multi-sector funds have the flexibility to invest Franklin Total Return Fund (FKBAX) Investment across various sectors of the fixed income market. Franklin Strategic Income Fund (FRSTX) Current Income and High Credit Quality U.S. government securities funds invest in government-backed securities such as Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) securities. Franklin U.S. Government Securities Fund 18 (FKUSX) High Income Limited Sensitivity to Interest Rate Changes Global Diversification Current Income and Tax Savings High-yield funds invest in higher-yielding, lowerrated corporate bonds, which typically provide a higher level of income because they have a greater risk of default. Floating-rate loan funds invest in floating-rate bank loans. These loans are generally less sensitive to interest rate risk because their rates reset as certain benchmark rates change. However, they are rated below investment grade, which involves greater risk of default. Global bond funds invest in bonds from around the world, which can offer valuable diversification to a U.S.-focused portfolio. Municipal bond funds invest in municipal bonds, which provide income free from federal tax, and in many cases, state and local income taxes as well. Franklin High Income Fund (FHAIX) Franklin Floating Rate Daily Access Fund (FAFRX) Templeton Global Bond Fund (TPINX) Franklin tax-free income funds 19 Over 30 funds, including limited-term, intermediate-term, long-term, high-yield and insured funds We re looking for an income-oriented investment. What type of fixed income fund is right for us? 18. Securities owned by the fund, but not shares of the fund, are guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities as to timely payment of principal and interest. The fund s yield and share price are not guaranteed and will fluctuate with market conditions. 19. Franklin tax-free income funds seek income free from regular federal and, depending on the fund, state and personal income taxes. For investors subject to the alternative minimum tax, a small portion of fund dividends may be taxable. Distributions of capital gains are generally taxable. franklintempleton.com Fixed Income Investing with Franklin Templeton 9
WHAT ARE THE RISKS? All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as the prices of bonds in a fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the fund s share price may decline. 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. Floating rate loans and high-yield corporate bonds are generally rated below investment grade and are subject to greater risk of default, which could result in loss of principal, a risk that may be heightened in a slowing economy. The markets for particular securities or types of securities are or may become relatively illiquid. Reduced liquidity will have an adverse impact on the security s value and on a fund s ability to sell such securities when necessary to meet the fund s liquidity needs or in response to a specific market event. The risks of foreign securities include currency fluctuations and political uncertainty. Investments in developing markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors, in addition to those associated with their relatively small size and lesser liquidity. Derivatives, including currency management strategies, involve costs and can create economic leverage in a portfolio, which may result in significant volatility and cause a fund to participate in losses (as well as enable gains) on an amount that exceeds the fund s initial investment. A fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits, and may realize losses when a counterparty fails to perform as promised. Some derivatives are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates.
