Overview

Summary of Fund Objective

To seek to maximise income and growth of capital (total return), and to outperform the benchmark over a complete market cycle. The Fund mainly invests, directly or indirectly through derivatives, in corporate and government bonds denominated in any currency and  in currencies themselves . These investments may be from anywhere in the world and some of them may be below investment grade, issued by companies that are restructuring, or in default or non-rated.

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.

  • The Fund seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns over a full market cycle by allocating its investments across a wide range of debt securities and debt obligations of any maturity or credit rating of corporate and/or sovereign issuers worldwide, with the ability to actively use financial derivative instruments. Such securities and investment instruments have historically been subject to price movements due to such factors as sudden changes in interest rates, changes in the financial outlook or perceived credit worthiness of securities issuers, or fluctuations in currency markets. As a result, the performance of the Fund can fluctuate moderately over time.
  • Other significant risks include: 
    Counterparty risk: the risk of failure of financial institutions or agents (when serving as a counterparty to financial contracts) to perform their obligations, whether due to insolvency, bankruptcy or other causes. 
    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. 
    Foreign Currency risk: the risk of loss arising from exchange-rate fluctuations or due to exchange control regulations. 
    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. 
    Emerging markets risk: the risk related to investing in countries that have less developed political, economic, legal and regulatory systems, and that may be impacted by political/economic instability, lack of liquidity or transparency, or safekeeping issues. 
    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.
    Securitisation risk: investment in securities which generate return from various underlying groups of assets such as mortgages, loans or other assets may bear a greater risk of loss due to possible default of some of the underlying assets.

For full details of all of the risks applicable to this Fund, please refer to the “Risk Considerations” section of the Fund in the current prospectus of Franklin Templeton Investment Funds.
