Price

What is NAV?

Net asset value or NAV is a term used to describe the value of an entity's assets less than the value of its liabilities. For a mutual fund, the net assets value purchased usually represents the fund's market price.

Our funds are on a forward pricing policy. The funds' NAV for the trade date would be available on the next business day. For example, the fund's NAV on 1 July 2010 will only be available on 2 July 2010.

    What are the differences between Share Classes A and B and what are the applicable charges?

    Class A shares typically charge a front-end sales charge. When you buy Class A shares with a front-end sales charge, a portion of the dollars you pay is not invested but will be paid as commission to distributors. The balance of the amount invested after the deduction of the front-end charge will be applied to the purchase of shares in the relevant fund.

    Charges for Share Class A
    Franklin Templeton Investment Funds (FTIF) Franklin Floating Rate Funds (FFRF)
    Sales Charge 5% for cash and SRS investments
    3% for CPFIS investments (for a complete list of CPFIS included funds, please click here.)
    3%
    Contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) None None
    Switching charges 1% 1%

    Class B shares typically do not charge a front-end sales charge at the time of purchase. All of your dollars would be immediately invested. Class B shares normally impose a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC), which you pay when you sell your shares. The CDSC normally declines and eventually is eliminated the longer you hold your shares.

    Charges for Share Class B
    Franklin Templeton Investment Funds (FTIF) Franklin Floating Rate Funds (FFRF)
    Sales Charge None
