Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance and may not necessarily be repeated. Returns are volatile and may go up and down significantly. Any prediction, projection or forecast on the economy, stock market, bond market or the economic trends of the markets is not necessarily indicative of the future or likely performance. All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal.

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks, and possible loss of principal. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls. 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. Low-rated, high-yield bonds are subject to greater price volatility, illiquidity and possibility of default. Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. Dividends may fluctuate and are not guaranteed, and a company may reduce or eliminate its dividend at any time. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations and social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The investment style may become out of favour, which may have a negative impact on performance. Active management does not ensure gains or protect against market declines. Liquidity risk arises when adverse market conditions affect the ability to sell assets when necessary. For further information relating to the risks that are relevant to this Fund, please refer to the relevant Product Disclosure Statement, Additional Information Booklet and Target Market Determination for the Fund found on our website here www.franklintempleton.com.au.
