PROSPECTUS OF FRANKLIN TEMPLETON INVESTMENT FUNDS FRANKLIN TEMPLETON INVESTMENT FUNDS—FRANKLIN REAL RETURN FUND Investment Objective and Policies The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve, consistent with prudent investment management, total return that exceeds the rate of inflation over an economic cycle. In order to achieve the highest level of real return (total return less the estimated cost of inflation), the Fund seeks to allocate its assets, under normal market conditions, in inflation indexed securities of all type such as US and non US inflation-indexed securities, investment grade and high-yield fixedincome securities issued by governments, corporations and municipal issuers. Inflation-indexed securities are fixed-income securities that are structured to provide protection against inflation. The value of the security’s principal or the interest income paid on the security is adjusted to track changes in an official inflation measure. The US Treasury uses the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers as the inflation measure. Inflation-indexed securities issued by a non-US government are generally adjusted to reflect a comparable inflation index, calculated by that government. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by also investing in mortgage and other asset-backed securities, short-term fixed-income securities as well as equity securities with high correlation to broad measures of inflation, including shares of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and/or companies in the natural resources sector. The Fund may also utilise financial derivative instruments for investment purposes. These financial derivative instruments may be dealt either in regulated markets or over-the-counter, and may include, inter alia, swaps (such as credit default swaps or total return swaps), forwards and cross forwards, futures contracts (including those on government securities), as well as options. The base currency of the Fund is U.S. dollar.
