FRANKLIN TEMPLETON INVESTMENT FUNDS—TEMPLETON EUROPEAN CORPORATE BOND FUND Investment Objective and Policies The Fund's investment objective is to maximize, consistent with prudent investment management, total investment return through a combination of interest income and capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing principally in investment-grade fixed or floating rate debt securities of European corporate issuers and/or non-European corporate issuers with a business presence in the European region. The Fund may also utilize certain 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), forward and cross forwards, futures contracts, as well as options. Use of these financial derivative instruments may result in negative exposures in a specific yield curve/duration or currency. The Fund may in addition, in accordance with the investment restrictions, invest in credit-linked securities or other 110 Franklin Templeton Investment Funds

The Fund principally invests in fixed income debt securities either denominated in Euro or, if denominated in another currency, hedged into Euro.
