Overview

Summary of Fund Objective

To seek to maximise income and growth of capital (total return). The Fund mainly invests in convertible securities from anywhere in the world. Some of these investments may be below investment grade or unrated securities.

Investor Profile

  • Seeking capital appreciation and current income by investing in convertible securities of corporate issuers around the world.
  • Planning to hold their investment for the medium to long term.

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 invests mainly in convertible securities (including low-rated, non-investment grade securities, and possibly securities in default) of corporate issuers worldwide. Such securities have historically been subject to price movements, due to movement in the prices of underlying equities or movements in interest rates and the bond market generally. As a result, the performance of the Fund can fluctuate over time.
  • Other significant risks include: 
    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. 
    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.
    Convertible securities risk: the risk associated with the fact the Fund may invest in convertible securities, which may be low-rated and which may act like either a bond (when the underlying equity value is well below par value for the security) or a stock (when the underlying equity value approaches or exceeds par value).

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.
