IMPORTANT INFORMATION

You must read this before proceeding, as it explains both the legal and regulatory restrictions which apply to the information contained and investment products referred to within this Website.

1. This Website is directed only at Professional Clients who are intermediaries resident within the United Kingdom and the information provided is not for distribution outside the United Kingdom. None of the information, whether in part or full, should be copied, reproduced or redistributed in any form nor should it be regarded as an offer or a solicitation of an offer for investment in countries outside the United Kingdom. No shares or units in these products or funds may be offered or sold to US Persons (as more fully defined in the latest fund prospectus) or in any other country, state or jurisdiction where it would be unlawful to offer, solicit an offer for or sell such shares or units.
2. The information on this Website is issued and approved by Franklin Templeton Investment Management Limited and does not, in any way, constitute investment advice. Franklin Templeton Investment Management Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
3. This site uses cookies to improve your online experience. Sites like ours store small text files on your computer when you visit. We use this information to monitor traffic and look for ways to improve the services we offer at www.franklintempleton.co.uk. The cookies we use don't include any information about your personal identity or your accounts. Your browser must accept at least a session cookie to use all the features on this site. For instructions on disabling these files, please visit our  cookie policy.
4. The prices of shares and units and income there from can go down as well as up, and you may not get back the amount invested. Past performance is neither an indicator, nor a guarantee of future performance. The information on this Website should not be construed as indicating any guarantee of a return from an investment managed by Franklin Templeton Investments. Currency fluctuations may affect the value of overseas investments. When investing in a fund denominated in a foreign currency, performance may also be affected by currency fluctuations. Where a fund invests in derivative instruments, this entails specific risks that may increase the risk profile of the fund and are more fully described in the Fund’s prospectus and in the relevant KIID. Where a fund invests in a specific sector or geographical area, the returns may be more volatile than a more diversified fund. Emerging Markets can be more risky than developed markets. Please refer to the relevant fund’s prospectus and KIID for further information on these and other risks which could affect your investment.
5. Subscriptions for shares or units in any Franklin Templeton Investments product or fund can be made only on the basis of the current prospectus, the relevant Key Investor Information Document (“KIID”), accompanied by the latest available audited annual report and the latest semi-annual report if published thereafter, or other offering document, for that product or fund which more fully describes the investment risks. All or most of the protections provided by the UK regulatory system will not apply to investors in the Franklin Templeton Investment Funds or Franklin Templeton Shariah Funds.
6. The investment activities for Franklin Templeton Shariah Funds will be undertaken in accordance with the Shariah Guidelines. As a consequence, the performance of these funds may possibly be lower than other investment funds that do not seek to strictly adhere to the Islamic investment criteria. The requirement to “purify” cash holdings or dividend income will likely result in payments being made to charities. The return to investors will be reduced by the amount of such payments.
7. This website is intended to be of general interest only and does not constitute legal or tax advice nor is it an offer for shares or invitation to apply for shares of any of Franklin Templeton Investments’ fund ranges. Nothing in this website should be construed as investment advice. Franklin Templeton Investments has exercised professional care and diligence in the collection of information in this website. However, data from third party sources may have been used in its preparation and Franklin Templeton Investments has not independently verified, validated or audited such data. Opinions expressed are the author’s at the publication date and they are subject to change without prior notice. Given the rapidly changing market environment, Franklin Templeton Investments disclaim responsibility for updating this material. Any research and analysis contained in this website has been procured by Franklin Templeton Investments for its own purposes and is provided to you only incidentally. Franklin Templeton Investments shall not be liable to any user of this website or to any other person or entity for the inaccuracy of information or any errors or omissions in its contents, regardless of the cause of such inaccuracy, error or omission.
