What are the Risks? The value of shares in Franklin Global Trust and income received from it can go down as well as up, and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Past performance is not an indicator or a guarantee of future performance. Currency fluctuations may affect the value of overseas investments. When investing in a fund denominated in a foreign currency, your performance may also be affected by currency fluctuations. Investment trusts may borrow money in order to make further investments. This is known as “gearing” and can enhance shareholder returns in rising markets but, conversely, can reduce them in falling markets. The majority of charges will be deducted from the capital of the Company. This will constrain capital growth of the Company in order to maintain the income streams. An investment in Franklin Global Trust entails risks which are described in the Franklin Global Trust annual report and Franklin Global Trust Investor Disclosure document. In emerging markets, the risks can be greater than in developed markets. Investments in derivative instruments entail specific risks more fully described in the Franklin Global Trust annual report and Franklin Global Trust Investor Disclosure document. Glossary Gearing: a term used to describe the process of borrowing money for investment purposes in the expectation that the returns on the investments purchased using the borrowings exceeds the costs of those borrowings. For example, a figure of 5% means that the shareholder funds are 5% geared and indicates the extra amount by which the shareholder funds would rise or fall if the total assets were to rise or fall. A figure of 0% means there is no gearing. The Board has agreed that the Company may borrow up to 20% of net assets. Comparator: Benchmark is used for comparing Fund performance, but is not a constraint to Fund Investment. Active Share is a measure of the percentage of stock holdings in a manager's portfolio that differs from the benchmark index.
