Franklin Templeton Investment Funds
The Fund's investment objective is to maximise, consistent with prudent investment management, a combination of capital appreciation and income. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing principally in a diversified portfolio of equity securities, fixed and floating rate debt securities, including low-rated debt securities, and debt obligations issued by government, government-related issuers and corporate entities which are located, incorporated or have their principal business activities in developing or Emerging Market countries. The Fund will typically invest at least 25% of its assets in Emerging Market equity securities and at least 25% of its assets in debt securities but the proportion of its assets allocated to each may vary over time depending on the Investment Managers' view of the relative attractiveness of each asset class.
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.
