HYBRID TEMPLETON GLOBAL BALANCED FUND A Dynamic Blend of Global Stocks and Bonds Effective 7/1/11, Templeton Income Fund changed its name to Templeton Global Balanced Fund. Additionally, the fund changed its goal and pricing structure. Under normal circumstances, the fund will invest: at least 25% of its assets in fixed income senior securities and at least 25% of its assets in equity securities; at least 40% of its assets in non-U.S. investments; and, in issuers located in at least three different countries (including the U.S.). Tap into a world of investment opportunities via two experienced investment teams—the Templeton Global Equity Group and the Franklin Templeton Fixed Income Group®. Uncovering attractive opportunities Employing a flexible, bottom-up allocation Seeking competitive returns with relatively low volatility On the equity side, the fund seeks stocks priced below their intrinsic value, with dividend yield also an important criterion. On the fixed income side, the fund identifies opportunities based on fundamental analysis of interest rates, exchange rates and yield spreads. The fund’s asset allocation is determined by comparing valuations across asset classes relative to underlying fundamentals and levels of market volatility. Depending on valuations and other factors, the investment team has the flexibility to adjust the allocation as necessary. The fund’s allocation flexibility and wide variety of opportunities allow for performance potential in a wide variety of market environments, which may help reduce overall portfolio volatility and improve your chances of earning more consistent returns over time versus a purely stock portfolio. Performance data represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Current performance may differ from figures shown. The fund’s investment return and principal value will change with market conditions, and you may have a gain or a loss when you sell your shares.

The risks of investing in foreign debt and equity securities include currency fluctuations and political and economic 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. The fund’s investment in derivative securities, such as financial futures and option contracts, and the fund’s use of foreign currency techniques involve special risks as such may not achieve the anticipated benefits and/or may result in losses to the fund. The risks associated with higher-yielding, lower-rated debt securities include higher risk of default and loss of principal. Interest rate movements will affect the fund’s share price and yield. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as the prices of bonds in the fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the fund’s share price may decline. VA L U E BLEND GROWTH SECTOR While stocks have historically outperformed other asset classes over the long term, they tend to fluctuate over the shorter term. Changes in the financial strength of a bond issuer or in a bond’s credit rating may affect its value. The fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. These and other risks are described in the fund’s prospectus. Investors should carefully consider a fund’s investment goals, risks, charges and expenses before investing.
