Overview

Summary of Fund Objective

The Fund aims to generate income and increase in value through investment growth. Over periods of five years, the Fund seeks to achieve an average annual return greater than that of the Markit iBoxx GBP Non-Gilts Index, 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 higher-quality debt securities of corporations located in or doing significant business in the UK. Such securities have historically proven to present some stability over time and have benefited from a limited exposure to interest rates and movements in the bond market. As a result, the performance of the Fund can fluctuate over time.
  • Risks materially relevant not adequately captured by the indicator:
    Credit risk: the risk of loss arising from default that may occur if an issuer fails to make principal or interest payments when due. This risk is higher if the Fund holds low-rated, sub-investment-grade securities.
    Derivative Instruments risk: the risk of loss in an instrument where a small change in the value of the underlying investment may have a larger impact on the value of such instrument. Derivatives may involve additional liquidity, credit and counterparty risks.
    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.
