Overview

- Summary of Fund Objective
- What Are The Key Risks?
Summary of Fund Objective
The Fund aims to increase in value through investment growth by more than the Numis Smaller Companies ex-Investment Trusts Index over periods of five years after all fees and costs are deducted. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve this return over this or any other time period. Capital invested is at risk and you may get back less than you paid in.
What Are The Key Risks?
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. There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its objective.
- The Fund invests mainly in equity securities of smaller UK companies that are no larger that the largest company in the Numis Smaller Companies ex-Investment Trusts Index. Such securities have historically been subject to price movements, sometimes to a greater extent than securities of larger UK companies, due to company-specific factors or movements in the UK equity markets generally. As a result, the performance of the Fund can fluctuate significantly over relatively short time periods.
- Risks materially relevant not adequately captured by the indicator:
Concentration risk: the risk that arises when a fund invests in relatively few holdings, few sectors or a restricted geographic area. Performance may be more volatile than a fund with a greater number of securities.
Single Country/Region Risk: This fund invests primarily in UK, which means that it is more sensitive to local economic, market, political or regulatory events in UK, and will be more affected by these events than other funds that invest in a broader range of regions.
Equity risk: prices of equities may be affected by factors such as economic, political, market, and issuer-specific changes. Such changes may adversely affect the value of the equities regardless of company-specific performance.
Investment in smaller company shares: The fund buys shares in smaller companies. It may be difficult to sell these shares, in which case the fund may not be able to minimise a loss on such shares.
Liquidity risk: the risk that arises when adverse market conditions affect the ability to sell assets when necessary. Such risk may be triggered by (but not limited to) unexpected events such as environmental disasters or pandemics. Reduced liquidity may have a negative impact on the price of the assets.
For a full discussion of all the risks applicable to this Fund, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of the current prospectus of Franklin Templeton Funds.

Important Legal Information
The Franklin UK Smaller Companies Fund launched on the 17th October 2011 to receive the assets of the Rensburg UK Smaller Companies Trust, a unit trust.
This material 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 the sub funds of Franklin Templeton Funds ("FTF"), a UK-domiciled OEIC ("the Fund"). Nothing in this document should be construed as investment advice.
Subscriptions to shares of the Fund can only be made on the basis of the current prospectus, the relevant Key Investor Information Document ("KIID") or Supplementary Information Document (SID) accompanied by the latest available audited annual report and the latest semi-annual report if published thereafter, which can be found on our website (www.franklintempleton.co.uk) or from the address below. US Persons (as more fully defined in the latest Fund prospectus) are not eligible to invest in the Fund. Shares of the Fund are available for sale and distribution in the UK.
An investment in the Fund entails risks which are described in the Fund's prospectus and the relevant KIID.

Past performance is not an indicator, not a guarantee, of future performance. Where a fund invests in a specific sector or geographical area, the returns may be more volatile than a more diversified fund.
