Managed
Distribution
Policy
:
The
Fund’s
Board
of
Trustees
(the
“Board”)
has
authorized
a
managed
distribution
plan
pursuant
to
which
the
Fund
makes
monthly
distributions
to
shareholders
at
an
annual
minimum
fixed
rate
of
8%,
based
on
the
average
monthly
net
asset
value
(NAV)
of
the
Fund’s
common
shares
(the
“Plan”).
Effective
March
7,
2022,
the
annual
minimum
fixed
rate
increased
from
7.5%
to
8%.
The
Fund
calculates
the
average
NAV
from
the
previous
month
based
on
the
number
of
business
days
in
the
month
on
which
the
NAV
is
calculated.
The
Plan
is
intended
to
provide
shareholders
with
a
constant,
but
not
guaranteed,
fixed
minimum
rate
of
distribution
each
month
and
is
intended
to
narrow
the
discount
between
the
market
price
and
the
NAV
of
the
Fund’s
common
shares,
but
there
can
be
no
assurance
that
the
Plan
will
be
successful
in
doing
so.
The
Fund
is
managed
with
a
goal
of
generating
as
much
of
the
distribution
as
possible
from
net
ordinary
income
and
short-term
capital
gains,
that
is
consistent
with
the
Fund’s
investment
strategy
and
risk
profile.
To
the
extent
that
sufficient
distributable
income
is
not
available
on
a
monthly
basis,
the
Fund
will
distribute
long-term
capital
gains
and/or
return
of
capital
in
order
to
maintain
its
managed
distribution
rate.
A
return
of
capital
may
occur,
for
example,
when
some
or
all
of
the
money
that
was
invested
in
the
Fund
is
paid
back
to
shareholders.
A
return
of
capital
distribution
does
not
necessarily
reflect
the
Fund’s
investment
performance
and
should
not
be
confused
with
“yield”
or
“income”.
Even
though
the
Fund
may
realize
current
year
capital
gains,
such
gains
may
be
offset,
in
whole
or
in
part,
by
the
Fund’s
capital
loss
carryovers
from
prior
years.
The
Board
may
amend
the
terms
of
the
Plan
or
terminate
the
Plan
at
any
time
without
prior
notice
to
the
Fund’s
shareholders,
however,
at
this
time
there
are
no
reasonably
foreseeable
circumstances
that
might
cause
the
termination
of
the
Plan.
The
amendment
or
termination
of
the
Plan
could
have
an
adverse
effect
on
the
market
price
of
the
Fund’s
common
shares.
The
Plan
will
be
subject
to
the
periodic
review
by
the
Board,
including
a
yearly
review
of
the
annual
minimum
fixed
rate
to
determine
if
an
adjustment
should
be
made.
Shareholders
should
not
draw
any
conclusions
about
the
Fund’s
investment
performance
from
the
amount
of
this
distribution
or
from
the
terms
of
the
Plan.
The
Fund
will
send
a
Form
1099-DIV
to
shareholders
for
the
calendar
year
that
will
describe
how
to
report
the
Fund’s
distributions
for
federal
income
tax
purposes.

Dear
Shareholder:
This

Fund
covers
the
period

.
Your
Fund’s
Goal
and
Main
Investments
The
Fund
seeks
high,
current
income,
with
a
secondary
goal
of
capital
appreciation.
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
Fund
invests
at
least
80%
of
its
net
assets
in
income-
producing
securities,
including
debt
securities
of
U.S.
and
foreign
issuers,
including
emerging
markets.
For
purposes
of
the
Fund’s
80%
policy,
income-producing
securities
include
derivative
instruments
or
other
investments
that
have
economic
characteristics
similar
to
such
securities.
Performance
Overview
For
the
six
months
under
review,
the
Fund
posted
cumulative
total
returns
of
-11.21%
based
on
market
price
and
-9.38%
based
on
net

Economic
and
Market
Overview
The
six-month
period
ended
June
30,
2022,
was
characterized
by
challenges
to
the
global
economy
in
the
form
of
the
lingering
economic
impact
of
COVID-19,
the
start
of
Russia’s
war
on
Ukraine,
commodity-price
inflation,
rising
global
interest
rates,
weakening
global
gross
domestic
product
growth,
and
supply
chain
disruptions.
Risk
assets
faced
strong
headwinds
resulting
from
tighter
financial
conditions.
*Includes
U.S.
and
foreign
government
and
agency
securities,
money
market
funds
and
other
net
assets
(including
derivatives).
Sovereign
bond
yields
rose
across
most
of
the
world
as
many
major
central
banks
embarked
on
policy
rate
hikes
to
curb
inflation.
Inflation
reached
multi-decade
highs
during
the
period,
with
added
supply-side
pressures
coming
from
disruptions
to
the
flow
of
energy,
food,
commodities
and
goods
due
to
the
war
in
Ukraine
and
the
West’s
economic
isolation
of
Russia.
Supply
chain
disruptions
were
compounded
by
China’s
implementation
of
its
zero-COVID
policy.
Simultaneously,
global
economic
growth
was
projected
to
decelerate,
driven
by
the
disruption
of
economic
activity
and
trade
following
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine,
including
a
reduction
in
Russia’s
exports
of
natural
gas
to
Germany,
the
economic
strains
of
refugee
flight
in
Europe,
volatile
and
elevated
commodity
prices,
continued
supply
chain
disruptions,
the
effect
of
COVID-19-related
lockdowns
in
China,
and
the
reduction
of
policy
support
post-COVID-19.
The
combination
of
above-average
inflation
and
below-
average
growth
raised
the
spectre
of
stagflation
reminiscent
of
the
1970s
and
created
a
policy
dilemma
for
many
central
bankers.

Semiannual
Report
Over
the
period,
developed
market
sovereign
bond
yields
trended
higher
concurrently
with
falling
equity
prices
and
strength
in
the
U.S.
dollar.
On
the
monetary
front,
the
first
half
of
2022
marked
the
end
of
pandemic-era
monetary
accommodation
by
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve.
Investment
Strategy
We
invest
selectively
in
bonds
around
the
world
to
generate
income
for
the
Fund,
seeking
opportunities
while
monitoring
changes
in
interest
rates,
currency
exchange
rates
and
credit
risks.
We
seek
to
manage
the
Fund’s
exposure
to
various
currencies
and
may
use
currency
forward
contracts.
Manager’s
Discussion
In
bonds,
we
continued
to
maintain
low
portfolio
duration,
while
aiming
at
a
high
overall
portfolio
yield
by
holding
compelling
risk-adjusted
yields
in
various
local-currency
bond
markets,
specifically
in
countries
with
resilient
economies
and
strong
trade
dynamics.
We
were
significantly
underweight
developed
market
duration
in
the
U.S.
and
the
euro
area,
with
a
preference
for
the
higher
yields
available
in
select
emerging
market
local-currency
bonds,
notably
including
Indonesia,
India,
Thailand,
Brazil,
and
Colombia.
We
closed
our
local-currency
positions
in
Egypt
and
Turkey
and
added
new
U.S.
dollar
(USD)-denominated
sovereign
credit
exposures
in
Africa,
Latin
America
and
Asia.
During
the
period,
we
used
interest-rate
swaps
to
actively
manage
duration
exposures.
At
the
beginning
of
the
period,
the
Fund
was
overweight
in
specific
currencies
against
the
USD
and
the
euro.
In
Asia,
we
held
notable
exposures
to
the
South
Korean
won,
the
Chinese
yuan,
the
Indonesian
rupiah,
the
Indian
rupee
and
the
Singapore
dollar,
while
holding
an
underweight
in
the
Japanese
yen.
We
closed
our
exposure
to
the
Japanese
yen
in
March
2022,
thereby
going
further
underweight,
primarily
due
to
expected
depreciation
pressures
on
the
currency
from
widening
rate
differentials
with
the
U.S.
In
April,
we
exited
our
underweight
position
in
the
Australian
dollar
which
had
been
used
to
hedge
against
emerging
market
beta
risks,
as
we
anticipated
rising
commodity
prices
to
boost
Australia’s
terms
of
trade
and
support
its
currency.
In
EMEA
(Europe,
Middle
East
and
Africa),
the
Fund
held
overweight
positions
in
the
Norwegian
krone,
the
Swedish
krona
and
the
British
pound
against
the
euro.
We
added
a
position
in
the
British
pound
against
the
euro
in
April
due
to
expected
monetary
policy
divergences
between
the
Bank
of
England
and
the
European
Central
Bank.
We
closed
our
exposure
to
the
Russian
ruble.
In
the
Americas,
we
held
long
exposures
to
the
Brazilian
real
and
the
Colombian
peso
against
the
USD,
and
long
exposure
to
the
Canadian
dollar
against
the
euro.
During
the
period,
we
used
currency
forwards
to
actively
manage
currency
exposures.
During
the
period,
the
Fund’s
negative
absolute
performance
was
primarily
due
to
currency
positions,
followed
by
sovereign
credit
exposures
and
interest-rate
strategies.
Among
currencies,
positions
in
the
South
Korean
won
and
Indian
rupee
detracted
from
absolute
performance,
as
did
the
Russian
ruble
which
was
held
earlier
in
the
period.
However,
the
Fund’s
position
in
the
Brazilian
real
was
a
positive
contributor
to
absolute
results.
Its
position
in
the
Canadian
dollar
against
the
euro
also
contributed
to
absolute
performance.
The
Fund
maintained
a
defensive
approach
regarding
interest-rates
in
developed
markets,
while
holding
duration
exposures
in
select
emerging
markets.
The
Fund’s
duration
exposure
in
Brazil
detracted
from
absolute
results.
On
a
relative
basis,
the
Fund’s
performance
fared
better
than
that
of
its
benchmark
index
due
to
interest-rate
strategies,
currency
positions
had
a
largely
neutral
effect
on
relative
results,
while
sovereign
credit
exposure
detracted
from
relative
performance.
Underweighted
duration
exposures
in
the
U.S.
and
the
U.K.
contributed
to
relative
performance,
as
did
lack
of
duration
exposures
in
the
euro
area.
Among
currencies,
the
Fund’s
underweighted
exposure
to
the
euro
contributed
to
relative
performance,
as
did
its
underweighted
position
in
the
Japanese
yen
and
its
overweighted
position
in
the
Brazilian
real.
However,
overweighted
positions
in
the
South
Korean
won
and
Indian
rupee
detracted
from
relative
returns,
as
did
an
overweight
position
in
the
Russian
ruble
earlier
in
the
period.
Thank
you
for
your
continued
participation
in
Templeton
Global
Income
Fund.
We
look
forward
to
serving
your
future
investment
needs.

Summary

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
possible
loss
of
principal.
Changes
in
interest
rates
will
affect
the
value
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
value,
share
price
and
yield.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
As
prices
of
bonds
in
the
Fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Special
risks
are
associated
with
foreign
investing,
including
currency
fluctuations,
economic
instability
and
political
developments
of
countries
where
the
Fund
invests.
Investments
in
developing
markets
involve
heightened
risks
related
to
the
same
factors,
in
addition
to
those
associated
with
their
relatively
small
size
and
lesser
liquidity.
Sovereign
debt
securities
are
subject
to
various
risks
in
addition
to
those
relating
to
debt
securities
and
foreign
securities
generally,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
the
risk
that
a
government
entity
may
be
unwilling
or
unable
to
pay
interest
and
repay
principal
on
its
sovereign
debt,
or
otherwise
meet
its
obligations
when
due.
The
markets
for
particular
securities
or
types
of
securities
are
or
may
become
relatively
illiquid.
Reduced
liquidity
will
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
security’s
value
and
on
the
Fund’s
ability
to
sell
such
securities
when
necessary
to
meet
the
Fund’s
liquidity
needs
or
in
response
to
a
specific
market
event.
Derivatives,
including
currency
management
strategies,
involve
costs
and
can
create
economic
leverage
in
the
portfolio
that
may
result
in
significant
volatility
and
cause
the
Fund
to
participate
in
losses
on
an
amount
that
exceeds
the
Fund’s
initial
investment.
The
Fund
may
not
achieve
the
anticipated
benefits
and
may
realize
losses
when
a
counterparty
fails
to
perform
as
promised.
As
a
nondiversified
investment
company,
the
Fund
may
invest
in
a
relatively
small
number
of
issuers
and,
as
a
result,
be
subject
to
a
greater
risk
of
loss
with
respect
to
its
portfolio
securities.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
diseases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
The
Fund
is
actively
managed
but
there
is
no
guarantee
that
the
manager’s
investment
decisions
will
produce
the
desired
results.
The
Fund
may
invest
in
China
Interbank
bonds
traded
on
the
China
Interbank
Bond
Market
(“CIBM”)
through
the
China
–
Hong
Kong
Bond
Connect
program
(“Bond
Connect”).
In
China,
the
Hong
Kong
Monetary
Authority
Central
Money
Markets
Unit
holds
Bond
Connect
securities
on
behalf
of
ultimate
investors
(such
as
the
Fund)
in
accounts
maintained
with
a
China-based
custodian
(either
the
China
Central
Depository
&
Clearing
Co.
or
the
Shanghai
Clearing
House).
This
re-
cordkeeping
system
subjects
the
Fund
to
various
risks,
including
the
risk
that
the
Fund
may
have
a
limited
ability
to
enforce
rights
as
a
bondholder
and
the
risks
of
settlement
delays
and
counterparty
default
of
the
Hong
Kong
sub-custodian.
In
addition,
enforcing
the
ownership
rights
of
a
beneficial
holder
of
Bond
Connect
securities
is
untested
and
courts
in
China
have
limited
experience
in
applying
the
concept
of
beneficial
ownership.
Bond
Connect
uses
the
trading
infrastructure
of
both
Hong
Kong
and
China
and
is
not
available
on
trading
holidays
in
Hong
Kong.
As
a
result,
prices
of
securities
purchased
through
Bond
Connect
may
fluctuate
at
times
when
a
Fund
is
unable
to
add
to
or
exit
its
position.
Securities
offered
through
Bond
Connect
may
lose
their
eligibility
for
trading
through
the
program
at
any
time.
If
Bond
Connect
securities
lose
their
eligibility
for
trading
through
the
program,
they
may
be
sold
but
can
no
longer
be
purchased
through
Bond
Connect.
Bond
Connect
is
subject
to
regulation
by
both
Hong
Kong
and
China
and
there
can
be
no
assurance
that
further
regulations
will
not
affect
the
availability
of
se-
curities
in
the
program,
the
frequency
of
redemptions
or
other
limitations.
Bond
Connect
trades
are
settled
in
Chinese
currency,
the
renminbi
(“RMB”).
It
cannot
be
guaranteed
that
investors
will
have
timely
access
to
a
reliable
supply
of
RMB
in
Hong
Kong.
Bond
Connect
is
relatively
new
and
its
effects
on
the
Chinese
interbank
bond
market
are
uncertain.
In
addition,
the
trading,
settlement
and
IT
systems
required
for
non-Chinese
investors
in
Bond
Connect
are
relatively
new.
In
the
event
of
systems
malfunctions,
trading
via
Bond
Connect
could
be
disrupted.
In
addition,
the
Bond
Connect
program
may
be
subject
to
further
interpre-
tation
and
guidance.
There
can
be
no
assurance
as
to
the
program’s
continued
existence
or
whether
future
developments
regarding
the
program
may
restrict
or
adversely
affect
the
Fund’s
investments
or
returns.
Finally,
uncertainties
in
China
tax
rules
governing
taxation
of
income
and
gains
from
investments
via
Bond
Connect
could
result
in
unexpected
tax
liabilities
for
a
Fund.
The
application
and
interpretation
of
the
laws
and
regulations
of
Hong
Kong
and
China,
and
the
rules,
policies
or
guidelines
published
or
applied
by
relevant
regulators
and
exchanges
in
respect
of
the
Bond
Connect
program,
are
uncertain,
and
may
have
a
detrimental
effect
on
the
Fund’s
investments
and
returns.
Russia’s
military
invasion
of
Ukraine
in
February
2022,
the
resulting
responses
by
the
United
States
and
other
countries,
and
the
potential
for
wider
conflict
could
increase
volatility
and
uncertainty
in
the
financial
markets
and
adversely
affect
regional
and
global
economies.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
im-
posed
broad-ranging
economic
sanctions
on
Russia
and
certain
Russian
individuals,
banking
entities
and
corporations
as
a
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
also
imposed
economic
sanctions
on
Belarus
and
may
impose
sanctions
on
other
countries
that
support
Russia’s
military
invasion.
These
sanctions,
as
well
as
any
other
economic
consequences
related
to
the
invasion,
such
as
additional
sanctions,
boycotts
or
changes
in
consumer
or
purchaser
preferences
or
cyberattacks
on
governments,
companies
or
individuals,
may
further
decrease
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
Russian
securities
and
securities
of
issuers
in
other
countries
that
are
subject
to
economic
sanctions
related
to
the
invasion.

associated
with
any
investment
it
makes
in
a
Franklin

contractually
guaranteed
through

Semiannual
Report
1.
Organization
and
Significant
Accounting
Policies
Templeton
Global
Income
Fund (Fund)
is
registered under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(1940
Act)
as
a
closed-end
management
investment
company
and
applies
the
specialized
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
U.S.
Generally
Accepted
Accounting
Principles
(U.S.
GAAP).
The
following
summarizes
the Fund's
significant
accounting
policies.
a.
Financial
Instrument
Valuation 
The
Fund's
investments
in
financial
instruments
are
carried
at
fair
value
daily.
Fair
value
is
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
on
the
measurement
date.
The
Fund
calculates
the
net
asset
value
(NAV)
per
share
each business
day as
of
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
or
the
regularly
scheduled
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE),
whichever
is
earlier.
Under
compliance
policies
and
procedures
approved
by
the
Fund's
Board
of
Trustees
(the
Board),
the Fund's
administrator
has
responsibility
for
oversight
of
valuation,
including
leading
the
cross-functional
Valuation
Committee
(VC).
The
Fund
may
utilize
independent
pricing
services,
quotations
from
securities
and
financial
instrument
dealers,
and
other
market
sources
to
determine
fair
value. 
Debt
securities
generally
trade
in
the over-the-counter
(OTC)
market
rather
than
on
a
securities
exchange.
The
Fund's
pricing
services
use
multiple
valuation
techniques
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
exists,
the
pricing
services
may
utilize
a
market-based
approach
through
which
quotes
from
market
makers
are
used
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
may
not
exist
or
is
limited,
the
pricing
services
also
utilize
proprietary
valuation
models
which
may
consider
market
characteristics
such
as
benchmark
yield
curves,
credit
spreads,
estimated
default
rates,
anticipated
market
interest
rate
volatility,
coupon
rates,
anticipated
timing
of
principal
repayments,
underlying
collateral,
and
other
unique
security
features
in
order
to
estimate
the
relevant
cash
flows,
which
are
then
discounted
to
calculate
the
fair
value.
Securities
denominated
in
a
foreign
currency
are
converted
into
their
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
at
the
foreign
exchange
rate
in
effect
at
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
on
the
date
that
the
values
of
the
foreign
debt
securities
are
determined.
Investments
in open-end mutual
funds
are
valued
at
the
closing
NAV.
Certain
derivative
financial
instruments
are
centrally
cleared
or
trade
in
the
OTC
market.
The
Fund's
pricing
services
use
various
techniques
including
industry
standard
option
pricing
models
and
proprietary
discounted
cash
flow
models
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
those
instruments.
The
Fund's
net
benefit
or
obligation
under
the
derivative
contract,
as
measured
by
the
fair
value
of
the
contract,
is
included
in
net
assets.
The
Fund
has
procedures
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments
for
which
market
prices
are
not
reliable
or
readily
available.
Under
these
procedures,
the Fund
primarily
employs
a
market-based
approach
which
may
use
related
or
comparable
assets
or
liabilities,
recent
transactions,
market
multiples,
book
values,
and
other
relevant
information
for
the
investment
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
the
investment.
An
income-based
valuation
approach
may
also
be
used
in
which
the
anticipated
future
cash
flows
of
the
investment
are
discounted
to
calculate
fair
value.
Discounts
may
also
be
applied
due
to
the
nature
or
duration
of
any
restrictions
on
the
disposition
of
the
investments.
Due
to
the
inherent
uncertainty
of
valuations
of
such
investments,
the
fair
values
may
differ
significantly
from
the
values
that
would
have
been
used
had
an
active
market
existed.
b.
Foreign
Currency
Translation 
Portfolio
securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
based
on
the
exchange
rate
of
such
currencies
against
U.S.
dollars
on
the
date
of
valuation.
The
Fund
may
enter
into
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
to
facilitate
transactions
denominated
in
a
foreign
currency.
Purchases
and
sales
of
securities,
income
and
expense
items
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
at
the
exchange
rate
in
effect
on
the
transaction
date.
Portfolio
securities
and
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
contain
risks
that
those
currencies
will
decline
in
value
relative
to
the
U.S.
dollar.
Occasionally,
events
may
impact
the
availability
or
reliability
of
foreign
exchange
rates
used
to
convert
the
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
value.
If
such
an
event
occurs,
the
foreign
exchange
rate
will
be
valued
at
fair
value
using
procedures
established
and
approved
by
the
Board.

Semiannual
Report
The
Fund
does
not
separately
report
the
effect
of
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
changes
in
market
prices
on
securities
held.
Such
changes
are
included
in
net
realized
and
unrealized
gain
or
loss
from
investments
in
the
Statement of
Operations. 
Realized
foreign
exchange
gains
or
losses
arise
from
sales
of
foreign
currencies,
currency
gains
or
losses
realized
between
the
trade
and
settlement
dates
on
securities
transactions
and
the
difference
between
the
recorded
amounts
of
dividends,
interest,
and
foreign
withholding
taxes
and
the
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
of
the
amounts
actually
received
or
paid.
Net
unrealized
foreign
exchange
gains
and
losses
arise
from
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
on
foreign
denominated
assets
and
liabilities
other
than
investments
in
securities
held
at
the
end
of
the
reporting
period.
c.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Fund invested
in
derivative
financial
instruments
in
order
to
manage
risk
or
gain
exposure
to
various
other
investments
or
markets.
Derivatives
are
financial
contracts
based
on
an
underlying
or
notional
amount,
require
no
initial
investment
or
an
initial
net
investment
that
is
smaller
than
would
normally
be
required
to
have
a
similar
response
to
changes
in
market
factors,
and
require
or
permit
net
settlement.
Derivatives
contain
various
risks
including
the
potential
inability
of
the
counterparty
to
fulfill
their
obligations
under
the
terms
of
the
contract,
the
potential
for
an
illiquid
secondary
market,
and/or
the
potential
for
market
movements
which
expose
the
Fund
to
gains
or
losses
in
excess
of
the
amounts
shown
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Realized
gain
and
loss
and
unrealized
appreciation
and
depreciation
on
these
contracts
for
the
period
are
included
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Derivative
counterparty
credit
risk
is
managed
through
a
formal
evaluation
of
the
creditworthiness
of
all
potential
counterparties.
The
Fund
attempts
to
reduce
its
exposure
to
counterparty
credit
risk
on
OTC
derivatives,
whenever
possible,
by
entering
into
International
Swaps
and
Derivatives
Association
(ISDA)
master
agreements
with
certain
counterparties.
These
agreements
contain
various
provisions,
including
but
not
limited
to
collateral
requirements,
events
of
default,
or
early
termination.
Termination
events
applicable
to
the
counterparty
include
certain
deteriorations
in
the
credit
quality
of
the
counterparty.
Termination
events
applicable
to
the
Fund
include
failure
of
the
Fund
to
maintain
certain
net
asset
levels
and/or
limit
the
decline
in
net
assets
over
various
periods
of
time.
In
the
event
of
default
or
early
termination,
the
ISDA
master
agreement
gives
the
non-defaulting
party
the
right
to
net
and
close-out
all
transactions
traded,
whether
or
not
arising
under
the
ISDA
agreement,
to
one
net
amount
payable
by
one
counterparty
to
the
other.
However,
absent
an
event
of
default
or
early
termination,
OTC
derivative
assets
and
liabilities
are
presented
gross
and
not
offset
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Early
termination
by
the
counterparty
may
result
in
an
immediate
payment
by
the
Fund
of
any
net
liability
owed
to
that
counterparty
under
the
ISDA
agreement.
Collateral
requirements
differ
by
type
of
derivative.
Collateral
terms
are
contract
specific
for
OTC
derivatives.
For
OTC
derivatives
traded
under
an
ISDA
master
agreement,
posting
of
collateral
is
required
by
either
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
counterparty
if
the
total
net
exposure
of
all
OTC
derivatives
with
the
applicable
counterparty
exceeds
the
minimum
transfer
amount,
which
typically
ranges
from
$100,000
to
$250,000,
and
can
vary
depending
on
the
counterparty
and
the
type
of
agreement.
Generally,
collateral
is
determined
at
the
close
of
Fund
business
each
day
and
any
additional
collateral
required
due
to
changes
in
derivative
values
may
be
delivered
by
the
Fund
or
the
counterparty
the
next
business
day,
or
within
a
few
business
days.
Collateral
pledged
and/or
received
by
the
Fund,
if
any,
is
held
in
segregated
accounts
with
the
Fund’s
custodian/counterparty
broker
and
can
be
in
the
form
of
cash
and/or
securities.
Unrestricted
cash
may
be
invested
according
to
the
Fund's
investment
objectives.
To
the
extent
that
the
amounts
due
to
the
Fund
from
its
counterparties
are
not
subject
to
collateralization
or
are
not
fully
collateralized,
the
Fund
bears
the
risk
of
loss
from
counterparty
non-performance.
The
Fund entered
into
OTC
forward
exchange
contracts
primarily
to
manage
and/or
gain
exposure
to
certain

For

d.
Restricted
Cash
At
June
30,
2022, the
Fund
held
restricted
cash
in
connection
with
investments
in
certain
derivative
securities.
Restricted
cash
is
held
in
a
segregated
account
with
the
Fund’s
custodian
and
is
reflected
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
e.
Restricted
Currency
At
June
30,
2022,
the
Fund
held
currencies
in
certain
markets
in
which
the
ability
to
repatriate
such
currency
is
limited.
As
a
result
of
such
limitations
on
repatriation,
the
Fund
may
incur
substantial
delays
in
gaining
access
to
these
assets
and
may
be
exposed
to
potential
adverse
movements
in
currency
value.
f.
Income
and
Deferred
Taxes
It
is the Fund's
policy
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
the
Internal
Revenue
Code. The Fund
intends
to
distribute
to
shareholders
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
and
net
realized
gains
to
relieve
it
from
federal
income
and excise
taxes.
As
a
result,
no
provision
for
U.S.
federal
income
taxes
is
required.
The Fund
may
be
subject
to
foreign
taxation
related
to
income
received,
capital
gains
on
the
sale
of
securities
and
certain
foreign
currency
transactions
in
the
foreign
jurisdictions
in
which
it
invests.
Foreign
taxes,
if
any,
are
recorded
based
on
the
tax
regulations
and
rates
that
exist
in
the
foreign
markets
in
which
the
Fund
invests.
When
a
capital
gain
tax
is
determined
to
apply,
the
Fund
records
an
estimated
deferred
tax
liability
in
an
amount
that
would
be
payable
if
the
securities
were
disposed
of
on
the
valuation
date.
The
Fund
may
recognize
an
income
tax
liability
related
to
its
uncertain
tax
positions
under
U.S.
GAAP
when
the
uncertain
tax
position
has
a
less
than
50%
probability
that
it
will
be
sustained
upon
examination
by
the
tax
authorities
based
on
its
technical
merits.
As
of
June
30,
2022,
the
Fund
has
determined
that
no
tax
liability
is
required
in
its
financial
statements
related
to
uncertain
tax
positions
for
any
open
tax
years
(or
expected
to
be
taken
in
future
tax
years).
Open
tax
years
are
those
that
remain
subject
to
examination
and
are
based
on
the
statute
of
limitations
in
each
jurisdiction
in
which
the
Fund
invests. 
g.
Security
Transactions,
Investment
Income,
Expenses
and
Distributions
Security
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
trade
date.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
security
transactions
are
determined
on
a
specific
identification
basis.
Interest
income
and
estimated
expenses
are
accrued
daily.
Amortization
of
premium
and
accretion
of
discount
on
debt
securities
are
included
in
interest
income.
Dividend
income
is
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributions
to shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
The
Fund
employs
a
managed
distribution
policy
whereby
the
Fund
will
make
monthly
distributions
to
shareholders
at
an
annual
minimum
fixed
rate
of
8%,
based
on
the
average
monthly
NAV
of
the
Fund’s
common
shares.
Effective
March
7,
2022,
the
annual
minimum
fixed
rate
increased
from
7.5%
to
8%.
Under
the
policy,
the
Fund
is
managed
with
a
goal
of
generating
as
much
of
the
distribution
as
possible
from
net
ordinary
income
and
short-term
capital
gains.
The
balance
of
the
distribution
will
then
come
from
long-term
capital
gains
to
the
extent
permitted
and,
if
necessary,
a
return
of
capital.
Distributable
earnings
are
determined
according
to
income
tax
regulations
(tax
basis)
and
may
differ
from
earnings
recorded
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP.
These
differences
may
be
permanent
or
temporary.
Permanent
differences
are
reclassified
among
capital
accounts
to
reflect
their
tax
character.
These
reclassifications
have
no
impact
on
net
assets
or
the
results
of
operations.
Temporary
differences
are
not
reclassified,
as
they
may
reverse
in
subsequent
periods.

Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
amounts
of
income
and
expenses
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
i.
Guarantees
and
Indemnifications
Under
the
Fund's
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and
trustees
are
indemnified
by
the
Fund
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Fund.
Additionally,
in
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
with
service
providers
that
contain
general
indemnification
clauses.
The
Fund's
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
as
this
would
involve
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
the
Fund
that
have
not
yet
occurred.
Currently,
the
Fund
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.

had
24.3%
of
its
portfolio
invested
in
high
yield
or
other
securities
rated
below
investment
grade
and
unrated
securities.
These
securities
may
be
more
sensitive
to
economic
conditions
causing
greater
price
volatility
and
are
potentially
subject
to
a
greater
risk
of

due

than
higher

securities.
7.
Concentration
of
Risk
Investments
in
issuers
domiciled
or
with
significant
operations
in
developing
or
emerging
market
countries
may
be
subject
to
higher
risks
than
investments
in
developed
countries.
These
risks
include
fluctuating
currency
values,
underdeveloped
legal
or
business
systems,
and
changing
local
and
regional
economic,
political
and
social
conditions,
which
may
result
in
greater
market
volatility.
In
addition,
certain
foreign
securities
may
not
be
as
liquid
as
U.S.
securities.
Currencies
of
developing
or
emerging
market
countries
may
be
subject
to
significantly
greater
risks
than
currencies
of
developed
countries,
including
the
potential
inability
to
repatriate
those
currencies
into
U.S.
dollars.
At
June
30,
2022,
the
Fund
had
0.1%
of
its
net

denominated
in
Argentine
Pesos.
Argentina
has
restricted
currency
repatriation
since
September

and
had
restructured
certain

Political

The

follows
a
fair
value
hierarchy
that
distinguishes
between
market
data
obtained
from
independent
sources
(observable
inputs)
and
the Fund's
own
market
assumptions
(unobservable

These
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
value
of
the
Fund's financial
instruments
and
are
summarized
in
the
following
fair
value
hierarchy:
Level
1
–
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
financial
instruments
Level
2
–
other

(including

Semiannual
Report
Share
Repurchase
Program
The
Fund’s
Board
of
Trustees
(the
“Board”)
previously
authorized
the
Fund
to
repurchase
up
to
10%
of
the
Fund’s
outstanding
shares
in
open-market
transactions,
at
the
discretion
of
management.
This
authorization
remains
in
effect.
In
exercising
its
discretion
consistent
with
its
portfolio
management
responsibilities,
the
investment
manager
will
take
into
account
various
other
factors,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
the
level
of
the
discount,
the
Fund’s
performance,
portfolio
holdings,
dividend
history,
market
conditions,
cash
on
hand,
the
availability
of
other
attractive
investments
and
whether
the
sale
of
certain
portfolio
securities
would
be
undesirable
because
of
liquidity
concerns
or
because
the
sale
might
subject
the
Fund
to
adverse
tax
consequences.
Any
repurchases
would
be
made
on
a
national
securities
exchange
at
the
prevailing
market
price,
subject
to
exchange
requirements,
Federal
securities
laws
and
rules
that
restrict
repurchases,
and
the
terms
of
any
outstanding
leverage
or
borrowing
of
the
Fund.
If
and
when
the
Fund’s
10%
threshold
is
reached,
no
further
repurchases
could
be
completed
until
authorized
by
the
Board.
Until
the
10%
threshold
is
reached,
Fund
management
will
have
the
flexibility
to
commence
share
repurchases
if
and
when
it
is
determined
to
be
appropriate
in
light
of
prevailing
circumstances.
In
the

Management
Fee
Waiver
On
March
21,
2022,
the
Fund
announced
that
the
Fund’s
Board
and
manager
had
reached
an
agreement
to
implement
a
fee
waiver
to
reduce
the
Fund’s
investment
management
fee
by
10
basis
points.
As
a
result
of
this
fee
waiver,
for
the
period
beginning
March
1,
2022
and
ending
September
1,
2022,
the
Fund
will
pay
the
investment
manager
a
monthly
fee
in
dollars,
at
the
annual
rate
of
the
Fund’s
daily
net
assets,
as
listed
below,
payable
at
the
end
of
each
calendar
month:
0.600%
up
to
and
including
$200
million;
and
0.535%
over
$200
million,
up
to
and
including
$700
million.
Recommencing
on
September
1,
2022,
the
Fund
will
pay
the
investment
manager
a
monthly
fee
in
dollars,
at
the
annual
rate
of
the
Fund’s
daily

at

up

and
including

Increase
to
Managed
Distribution
Plan
On
March
7,
2022,
the
Fund
announced
that
the
Board
had
authorized
an
increase
to
the
Fund’s
managed
distribution
plan
pursuant
to
which
the
Fund
will
make
monthly
distributions
to
shareholders
at
an
annual
minimum
fixed
rate
of
8%,
an
increase
from
the
previously
authorized
7.5%,
based
on
the
average
monthly
net
asset
value
(NAV)
of
the
Fund’s
common
shares
(the
“Plan”).
Management
believes
that
the
increased
distribution
rate
will
benefit
shareholders
consistent
with
the
Fund’s
investment
goal
to
seek
high,
current
income.
The
Fund
calculates
the
average
NAV
from
the
previous
month
based
on
the
number
of
business
days
in
the
month
on
which
the
NAV
is
calculated.
The
Plan
is
intended
to
provide
shareholders
with
a
constant,
but
not
guaranteed,
fixed
minimum
rate
of
distribution
each
month
and
is
intended
to
narrow
the
discount
between
the
market
price
and
the
NAV
of
the
Fund’s
common
shares,
but
there
can
be
no
assurance
that
the
Plan
will
be
successful
in
doing
so.
The
Fund
is
managed
with
a
goal
of
generating
as
much
of
the
distribution
as
possible
from
net
ordinary
income
and
short-term
capital
gains,
that
is
consistent
with
the
Fund’s
investment
strategy
and
risk
profile.
To
the
extent
that
sufficient
distributable
income
is
not
available
on
a
monthly
basis,
the
Fund
will
distribute
long-term
capital
gains
and/or
return
of
capital
in
order
to
maintain
its
managed
distribution
rate.
A
return
of
capital
may
occur,
for
example,
when
some
or
all
of
the
money
that
was
invested
in
the
Fund
is
paid
back
to
shareholders.
A
return
of
capital
distribution
does
not
necessarily
reflect
the
Fund’s
investment
performance
and
should
not
be
confused
with
“yield”
or
“income”.
Even
though
the
Fund
may
realize
current
year
capital
gains,
such
gains
may
be
offset,
in
whole
or
in
part,
by
the
Fund’s
capital
loss
carryovers
from
prior
years.
The
Board
may
amend
the
terms
of
the
Plan
or
terminate
the
Plan
at
any
time
without
prior
notice
to
the
Fund’s
shareholders.

Dividend
Reinvestment
and
Cash
Purchase
Plan
The
Fund
offers
a
Dividend
Reinvestment
and
Cash
Purchase
Plan
(the
“Plan”)
with
the
following
features:
Shareholders
must
affirmatively
elect
to
participate
in
the
Plan.
If
you
decide
to
use
this
service,
dividends
and
capital
gains
distributions
will
be
reinvested
automatically
in
shares
of
the
Fund
for
your
account.
Whenever
the
Fund
declares
dividends
in
either
cash
or
shares
of
the
Fund,
if
the
market
price
is
equal
to
or
exceeds
net
asset
value
at
the
valuation
date,
the
participant
will
receive
the
dividends
entirely
in
new
shares
at
a
price
equal
to
the
net
asset
value,
but
not
less
than
95%
of
the
then
current
market
price
of
the
Fund’s
shares.
If
the
market
price
is
lower
than
net
asset
value
or
if
dividends
and/or
capital
gains
distributions
are
payable
only
in
cash,
the
participant
will
receive
shares
purchased
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
or
otherwise
on
the
open
market.
A
participant
has
the
option
of
submitting
additional
cash
payments
to
the
Plan
Administrator,
in
any
amounts
of
at
least
$100,
up
to
a
maximum
of
$5,000
per
month,
for
the
purchase
of
Fund
shares
for
his
or
her
account.

can
be
made
by
check

to
purchases
of
Fund
shares
on
the
open
market.
The
automatic
reinvestment
of
dividends
and/or
capital

does
not
relieve
the

of
any
income
tax
that
may
be
payable

or
distributions.

are
purchased
on
the
New

will
pay
a
pro

portion
of
trading
fees.
Trading

will
be
deducted
from
amounts
to
be
invested.
The
Plan
Administrator’s
fee
for
a
sale
of
shares
through
the
Plan
is
$15.00
per
transaction
plus
a
$0.12
per
share
trading
fee.
A
participant
may
withdraw
from
the
Plan
without
penalty
at
any
time
by

will
receive,
without
charge,
share
certificates
issued
in
the

shares
held
by
the
Plan
Administrator;
or,
if
the
participant
wishes,
the
Plan
Administrator
will
sell
the
participant’s
shares
and
send
the
proceeds
to
the
participant,
less
a
service
charge
of
$15.00
and
less
trading
fees
of
$0.12
per
share.
The
Plan
Administrator
will
convert
any
fractional
shares
held

Agreements
TEMPLETON
GLOBAL
INCOME
FUND
(Fund)
At
a
virtual
meeting
held
on
February
27,
2022
(Meeting),
the
Board
of
Trustees
(Board)
of
the
Fund,
including
a
majority
of
the
trustees
who
are
not
“interested
persons”
as
defined
in
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(Independent
Trustees),
reviewed
and
approved
the
continuance
of
the
investment
management
agreement
between
Franklin
Advisers,
Inc.
(Manager)
and
the
Fund
(Management
Agreement)
for
an
additional
one-year
period.
The
Independent
Trustees
received
advice
from
and
met
separately
with
Independent
Trustee
counsel
in
considering
whether
to
approve
the
continuation
of
the
Management
Agreement.
In
considering
the
continuation
of
the
Management
Agreement,
the
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
provided
by
the
Manager
at
the
Meeting
and
throughout
the
year
at
meetings
of
the
Board
and
its
committees.
The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
information
provided
in
response
to
a
detailed
set
of
requests
for
information
submitted
to
the
Manager
by
Independent
Trustee
counsel
on
behalf
of
the
Independent
Trustees
in
connection
with
the
annual
contract
renewal
process.
In
addition,
prior
to
the
Meeting,
the
Independent
Trustees
held
a
virtual
contract
renewal
meeting
at
which
the
Independent
Trustees
conferred
amongst
themselves
and
Independent
Trustee
counsel
about
contract
renewal
matters.
At
that
meeting,
they
met
with
senior
leadership
of
the
global
macro
funds
regarding
the
performance
of
the
funds;
and
met
with
management
to
request
additional
information
that
the
Independent
Trustees
reviewed
and
considered
at
the
Meeting.
The
Board
later
had
an
opportunity
for
an
expanded
discussion
with
the
leadership
of
the
global
macro
funds
to
hear
about
strategies
to
deliver
improved
investment
returns
to
shareholders.
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
all
of
the
factors
it
deemed
relevant
in
approving
the
continuance
of
the
Management
Agreement,
including,
but
not
limited
to:
(i)
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided
by
the
Manager;
(ii)
the
investment
performance
of
the
Fund;
(iii)
the
costs
of
the
services
provided
and
profits
realized
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
from
the
relationship
with
the
Fund;
(iv)
the
extent
to
which
economies
of
scale
are
realized
as
the
Fund
grows;
and
(v)
whether
fee
levels
reflect
these
economies
of
scale
for
the
benefit
of
Fund
investors.
In
approving
the
continuance
of
the
Management
Agreement,
the
Board,
including
a
majority
of
the
Independent
Trustees,
determined
that
the
terms
of
the
Management
Agreement
are
fair
and
reasonable
and
that
the
continuance
of
such
Management
Agreement
is
in
the
best
interests
of
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
While
attention
was
given
to
all
information
furnished,
the
following
discusses
some
primary
factors
relevant
to
the
Board’s
determination.
Nature,
Extent
and
Quality
of
Services
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
regarding
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
investment
management
services
provided
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
to
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
This
information
included,
among
other
things,
the
qualifications,
background
and
experience
of
the
senior
management
and
investment
personnel
of
the
Manager,
as
well
as
information
on
succession
planning
where
appropriate;
the
structure
of
investment
personnel
compensation;
oversight
of
third-party
service
providers;
investment
performance
reports
and
related
financial
information
for
the
Fund
(including
its
share
price
discount
to
net
asset
value);
reports
on
expenses
and
shareholder
services;
legal
and
compliance
matters;
risk
controls;
pricing
and
other
services
provided
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates;
and
management
fees
charged
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
to
US
funds
and
other
accounts,
including
management’s
explanation
of
differences
among
accounts
where
relevant.
The
Board
noted
management’s
continued
commitment
to
providing
the
resources
important
to
enhancing
the
investment
process
of
the
global
macro
funds
for
the
benefit
of
the
funds
and
their
shareholders.
The
Board
acknowledged
the
ongoing
integration
of
the
Legg
Mason
family
of
funds
into
the
Franklin
Templeton
(FT)
family
of
funds
and
developing
strategies
to
address
areas
of
heightened
concern
in
the
mutual
fund
industry,
including
various
regulatory
initiatives
and
recent
geopolitical
concerns.
The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
the
benefits
provided
to
Fund
shareholders
of
investing
in
a
fund
that
is
part
of
the
FT
family
of
funds.
The
Board
noted
the
financial
position
of
Franklin
Resources,
Inc.
(FRI),
the
Manager’s
parent,
and
its
commitment
to
the
mutual
fund
business
as
evidenced
by
its
reassessment
of
the
fund
offerings
in
response
to
the
market
environment
and
project
initiatives
and
capital
investments
relating
to
the
services
provided
to
the
Fund
by
the
FT
organization.
The
Board
Templeton
Global
Income
Fund
Shareholder
Information
36
franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
specifically
noted
FT’s
commitment
to
being
a
global
leader
in
stewardship
and
sustainability
and
the
recent
addition
of
a
senior
executive
focused
on
environmental,
social
and
governance
and
climate
control
initiatives.
Following
consideration
of
such
information,
the
Board
was
satisfied
with
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
to
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
Fund
Performance
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
the
performance
results
of
the
Fund
over
various
time
periods
ended
November
30,
2021.
The
Board
considered
the
performance
returns
for
the
Fund
in
comparison
to
the
performance
returns
of
mutual
funds
deemed
comparable
to
the
Fund
included
in
a
universe
(Performance
Universe)
selected
by
Broadridge
Financial
Solutions,
Inc.
(Broadridge),
an
independent
provider
of
investment
company
data.
The
Board
received
a
description
of
the
methodology
used
by
Broadridge
to
select
the
mutual
funds
included
in
a
Performance
Universe.
The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
Fund
performance
reports
provided
and
discussions
that
occurred
with
portfolio
managers
at
Board
meetings
throughout
the
year.
A
summary
of
the
Fund’s
performance
results
is
below.
Such
results
are
based
on
net
asset
value
without
regard
to
market
discounts
or
premiums.
The
Performance
Universe
for
the
Fund
included
the
Fund
and
all
leveraged
and
non-leveraged
closed-end
global
income
funds.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Fund’s
annualized
income
return
and
annualized
total
return
for
the
one-,
three-,
five-
and
10-year
periods
were
below
the
medians
and
primarily
in
the
fifth
quintile
(worst)
of
its
Performance
Universe.
The
Board
discussed
this
performance
with
management
and
management
explained
that
the
Fund’s
relative
underperformance
in
comparison
to
its
Performance
Universe
over
the
reporting
periods
was,
in
part,
due
to
the
Fund’s
performance
in
2019
and
2020.
Management
further
explained
that
the
underperformance
was
driven
by
the
Fund’s
defensive
positioning
amid
the
pandemic,
which
restrained
the
Fund’s
participation
in
the
risk
asset
rallies
in
the
second
half
of
2020.
Management
also
explained
that
the
Fund’s
long
exposure
to
emerging
market
local
currency
assets
and
short
exposure
to
US
Treasury
duration
during
the
three-
and
five-year
reporting
periods
detracted
from
the
Fund’s
relative
performance
versus
the
Performance
Universe.
Management
further
explained
that
after
vaccines
were
approved
toward
the
end
of
2020
management
significantly
repositioned
the
Fund’s
strategies
back
towards
risk
allocations
and
expanded
on
that
risk
positioning
throughout
2021,
emphasizing
specific
currencies
against
the
US
dollar
and
the
euro,
as
well
as
local
currency
bonds
in
a
select
set
of
emerging
markets.
Management
reported
that
this
resulted
in
notable
improvement
in
the
Fund’s
performance
for
the
one-year
period
ended
January
31,
2022.
Management
further
explained
the
steps
the
portfolio
management
team
is
taking
in
an
effort
to
improve
the
Fund’s
peer
rankings
across
all
reporting
periods
and
reduce
the
impact
of
the
Fund’s
relative
underperformance
in
2019
and
2020.
The
Board
noted
management’s
continued
confidence
in
the
Fund’s
portfolio
management
team,
commitment
to
an
enhanced
investment
process
for
the
benefit
of
Fund
shareholders
and
commitment
to
have
ongoing
conversations
with
the
Board
regarding
management’s
strategies
for
addressing
the
performance
of
the
global
macro
funds
as
a
whole.
Based
on
the
foregoing,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
Fund’s
Management
Agreement
should
be
continued
for
an
additional
one-
year
period,
and
that
management’s
efforts
and
the
recent
improved
performance
of
the
Fund
should
continue
to
be
closely
monitored.
Comparative
Fees
and
Expenses
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
regarding
the
Fund’s
actual
total
expense
ratio
and
its
various
components,
including,
as
applicable,
management
fees;
underlying
fund
expenses;
investment-related
expenses;
and
other
non-management
fees.
The
Board
considered
the
actual
total
expense
ratio
and,
separately,
the
contractual
management
fee
rate,
without
the
effect
of
fee
waivers,
if
any
(Management
Rate)
of
the
Fund
in
comparison
to
the
median
expense
ratio
and
median
Management
Rate,
respectively,
of
other
mutual
funds
deemed
comparable
to
and
with
a
similar
expense
structure
to
the
Fund
selected
by
Broadridge
(Expense
Group).
Broadridge
fee
and
expense
data
is
based
upon
information
taken
from
each
fund’s
most
recent
annual
or
semi-annual
report,
which
reflects
historical
asset
levels.
While
recognizing
such
inherent
limitation
and
the
fact
that
expense
ratios
and
Management
Rates
generally
increase
as
assets
decline
and
decrease
as
assets
grow,
the
Board
believed
the
independent
analysis
conducted
by
Broadridge
to
be
an
appropriate
measure
of
comparative
fees
and
expenses.
The
Broadridge
Management
Rate
includes
administrative
charges.
The
Board
received
a
description
of
the
methodology
used
by
Broadridge
to
select
the
mutual
funds
included
in
the
Expense
Group.
The
Expense
Group
for
the
Fund
included
the
Fund
and
six
other
leveraged
and
non-leveraged
global
income
closed-
end
funds.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Management
Rate
and
actual
total
expense
ratio
for
the
Fund
were
below
the
medians
and
in
the
first
quintile
(best)
of
its
Expense
Group.
The
Board
further
noted
Management’s
proposal
of
a
ten
basis
point
waiver
for
a
period
of
six
months.

Semiannual
Report
The
Board
concluded
that
the
Management
Rate
charged
to
the
Fund
is
reasonable.
Profitability
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
regarding
the
profits
realized
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
in
connection
with
the
operation
of
the
Fund.
In
this
respect,
the
Board
considered
the
Fund
profitability
analysis
provided
by
the
Manager
that
addresses
the
overall
profitability
of
FT’s
US
fund
business,
as
well
as
its
profits
in
providing
investment
management
and
other
services
to
each
of
the
individual
funds
during
the
12-month
period
ended
September
30,
2021,
being
the
most
recent
fiscal
year-
end
for
FRI.
The
Board
noted
that
although
management
continually
makes
refinements
to
its
methodologies
used
in
calculating
profitability
in
response
to
organizational
and
product-related
changes,
the
overall
methodology
has
remained
consistent
with
that
used
in
the
Fund’s
profitability
report
presentations
from
prior
years.
The
Board
also
noted
that
PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP,
auditor
to
FRI
and
certain
FT
funds,
has
been
engaged
by
the
Manager
to
periodically
review
and
assess
the
allocation
methodologies
to
be
used
solely
by
the
Fund’s
Board
with
respect
to
the
profitability
analysis.
The
Board
noted
management’s
belief
that
costs
incurred
in
establishing
the
infrastructure
necessary
for
the
type
of
mutual
fund
operations
conducted
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
may
not
be
fully
reflected
in
the
expenses
allocated
to
the
Fund
in
determining
its
profitability,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
the
level
of
profits,
to
a
certain
extent,
reflected
operational
cost
savings
and
efficiencies
initiated
by
management.
As
part
of
this
evaluation,
the
Board
considered
management’s
outsourcing
of
certain
operations,
which
effort
has
required
considerable
up-front
expenditures
by
the
Manager
but,
over
the
long
run
is
expected
to
result
in
greater
efficiencies.
The
Board
also
noted
management’s
expenditures
in
improving
shareholder
services
provided
to
the
Fund,
as
well
as
the
need
to
implement
systems
and
meet
additional
regulatory
and
compliance
requirements
resulting
from
recent
US
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
other
regulatory
requirements.
The
Board
also
considered
the
extent
to
which
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
might
derive
ancillary
benefits
from
fund
operations,
potential
benefits
resulting
from
personnel
and
systems
enhancements
necessitated
by
fund
growth,
as
well
as
increased
leverage
with
service
providers
and
counterparties.
Based
upon
its
consideration
of
all
these
factors,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
level
of
profits
realized
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
from
providing
services
to
the
Fund
was
not
excessive
in
view
of
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
to
the
Fund.
Economies
of
Scale
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
the
extent
to
which
the
Manager
may
realize
economies
of
scale,
if
any,
as
the
Fund
grows
larger
and
whether
the
Fund’s
management
fee
structure
reflects
any
economies
of
scale
for
the
benefit
of
shareholders.
The
Board
believes
that
the
Manager’s
ability
to
realize
economies
of
scale
and
the
sharing
of
such
benefit
is
a
more
relevant
consideration
in
the
case
of
an
open-end
fund
whose
size
increases
as
a
result
of
the
continuous
sale
of
its
shares.
A
closed-end
fund,
such
as
the
Fund,
does
not
continuously
offer
shares,
and
growth
following
its
initial
public
offering
will
primarily
result
from
market
appreciation,
which
benefits
its
shareholders.
While
believing
economies
of
scale
to
be
less
of
a
factor
in
the
context
of
a
closed-
end
fund,
the
Board
believes
at
some
point
an
increase
in
size
may
lead
to
economies
of
scale
that
would
be
shared
with
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
The
Board
noted
the
existence
of
management
fee
breakpoints,
which
operate
generally
to
share
any
economies
of
scale
with
the
Fund’s
shareholders
by
reducing
the
Fund’s
effective
management
fees
as
the
Fund
grows
in
size.
The
Board
considered
the
Manager’s
view
that
any
analyses
of
potential
economies
of
scale
in
managing
a
particular
fund
are
inherently
limited
in
light
of
the
joint
and
common
costs
and
investments
the
Manager
incurs
across
the
FT
family
of
funds
as
a
whole.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Fund
had
experienced
a
decrease
in
assets
and
would
not
be
expected
to
demonstrate
additional
economies
of
scale
in
the
near
term,
but
concluded
that
to
the
extent
economies
of
scale
may
be
realized
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates,
the
Fund’s
management
fee
structure
provided
a
sharing
of
benefits
with
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders
as
the
Fund
grows.
Conclusion
Based
on
its
review,
consideration
and
evaluation
of
all
factors
it
believed
relevant,
including
the
above-described
factors
and
conclusions,
the
Board
unanimously
approved
the
continuation
of
the
Management
Agreement
for
an
additional
one-year
period.

or
if
the

If,

the
average
per

. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
 
The board of trustees of the Fund has delegated the authority to vote proxies related to the portfolio securities held by the Fund to the Fund’s investment manager, Franklin Advisers, Inc., in accordance with the Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (Policies) adopted by the investment manager.
 
 
Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions, a separate investment group within Franklin Templeton, comprised of investment personnel from the SEC-registered investment advisers listed on Appendix A (hereinafter individually an “Investment Manager” and collectively the "Investment Managers") have delegated the administrative duties with respect to voting proxies for securities to the Franklin Templeton Proxy Group within Franklin Templeton Companies, LLC (the "Proxy Group"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. Franklin Templeton Companies, LLC provides a variety of general corporate services to its affiliates, including, but not limited to, legal and compliance activities. Proxy duties consist of disseminating proxy materials and analyses of issuers whose stock is owned by any client (including both investment companies and any separate accounts managed by the Investment Managers) that has either delegated proxy voting administrative responsibility to the Investment Managers or has asked for information and/or recommendations on the issues to be voted. The Investment Managers will inform Advisory Clients that have not delegated the voting responsibility but that have requested voting advice about the Investment Managers’ views on such proxy votes. The Proxy Group also provides these services to other advisory affiliates of the Investment Managers.
The Proxy Group will process proxy votes on behalf of, and the Investment Managers vote proxies solely in the best interests of, separate account clients, the Investment Managers’-managed investment company shareholders, or shareholders of funds that have appointed Franklin Templeton International Services S.à.r.l. (“FTIS S.à.r.l.”) as the Management Company, provided such funds or clients have properly delegated such responsibility in writing, or, where employee benefit plan assets subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, are involved (“ERISA accounts”), in the best interests of the plan participants and beneficiaries (collectively, "Advisory Clients"), unless (i) the power to vote has been specifically retained by the named fiduciary in the documents in which the named fiduciary appointed the Investment Managers or (ii) the documents otherwise expressly prohibit the Investment Managers from voting proxies. The Investment Managers recognize that the exercise of voting rights on securities held by ERISA plans for which the Investment Managers have voting responsibility is a fiduciary duty that must be exercised with care, skill, prudence and diligence.
In certain circumstances, Advisory Clients are permitted to direct their votes in a solicitation pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement. An Advisory Client that wishes to direct its vote shall give reasonable prior written notice to the Investment Managers indicating such intention and provide written instructions directing the Investment Managers or the Proxy Group to vote regarding the solicitation. Where such prior written notice is received, the Proxy Group will vote proxies in accordance with such written notification received from the Advisory Client.
The Investment Managers have adopted and implemented Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (“Proxy Policies”) that they believe are reasonably designed to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interest of Advisory Clients in accordance with their fiduciary duties and rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. To the extent that the Investment Managers have a subadvisory agreement with an affiliated investment manager (the “Affiliated Subadviser”) with respect to a particular Advisory Client, the Investment Managers may delegate proxy voting responsibility to the Affiliated Subadviser. The Investment Managers may also delegate proxy voting responsibility to a subadviser that is not an Affiliated Subadviser in certain limited situations as disclosed to fund shareholders (e.g., where an Investment Manager to a pooled investment vehicle has engaged a subadviser that is not an Affiliated Subadviser to manage all or a portion of the assets).
HOW THE INVESTMENT MANAGERS VOTE PROXIES
Proxy Services
All proxies received by the Proxy Group will be voted based upon the Investment Managers’ instructions and/or policies. To assist it in analyzing proxies of equity securities, the Investment Managers subscribe to Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS"), an unaffiliated third-party corporate governance research service that provides in-depth analyses of shareholder meeting agendas and vote recommendations. In addition, the Investment Managers subscribe to ISS’s Proxy Voting Service and Vote Disclosure Service. These services include receipt of proxy ballots, custodian bank relations, account maintenance, vote execution, ballot reconciliation, vote record maintenance, comprehensive reporting capabilities, and vote disclosure services. Also, the Investment Managers subscribe to Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC ("Glass Lewis"), an unaffiliated third-party analytical research firm, to receive analyses and vote recommendations on the shareholder meetings of publicly held U.S. companies, as well as a limited subscription to its international research.
Although analyses provided by ISS, Glass Lewis, and/or another independent third-party proxy service provider (each a “Proxy Service”) are thoroughly reviewed and considered in making a final voting decision, the Investment Managers do not consider recommendations from a Proxy Service or any third-party to be determinative of the Investment Managers’ ultimate decision. Rather, the Investment Managers exercise their independent judgment in making voting decisions. As a matter of policy, the officers, directors and employees of the Investment Managers and the Proxy Group will not be influenced by outside sources whose interests conflict with the interests of Advisory Clients.
For ease of reference, the Proxy Policies often refer to all Advisory Clients. However, our processes and practices seek to ensure that proxy voting decisions are suitable for individual Advisory Clients. In some cases, the Investment Managers’ evaluation may result in an individual Advisory Client or Investment Manager voting differently, depending upon the nature and objective of the fund or account, the composition of its portfolio, whether the Investment Manager has adopted a specialty or custom voting policy, and other factors.
Conflicts of Interest
All conflicts of interest will be resolved in the best interests of the Advisory Clients. The Investment Managers are affiliates of a large, diverse financial services firm with many affiliates and makes its best efforts to mitigate conflicts of interest. However, as a general matter, the Investment Managers take the position that relationships between certain affiliates that do not use the “Franklin Templeton” name (“Independent Affiliates”) and an issuer (e.g., an investment management relationship between an issuer and an Independent Affiliate) do not present a conflict of interest for an Investment Manager in voting proxies with respect to such issuer because: (i) the Investment Managers operate as an independent business unit from the Independent Affiliate business units, and (ii) informational barriers exist between the Investment Managers and the Independent Affiliate business units.
Material conflicts of interest could arise in a variety of situations, including as a result of the Investment Managers’ or an affiliate’s (other than an Independent Affiliate as described above): (i) material business relationship with an issuer or proponent, (ii) direct or indirect pecuniary interest in an issuer or proponent; or (iii) significant personal or family relationship with an issuer or proponent.
Material conflicts of interest are identified by the Proxy Group based upon analyses of client, distributor, broker dealer, and vendor lists, information periodically gathered from directors and officers, and information derived from other sources, including public filings. The Proxy Group gathers and analyzes this information on a best-efforts basis, as much of this information is provided directly by individuals and groups other than the Proxy Group, and the Proxy Group relies on the accuracy of the information it receives from such parties.
Nonetheless, even though a potential conflict of interest between the Investment Managers or an affiliate (other than an Independent Affiliate as described above) and an issuer may exist: (1) the Investment Managers may vote in opposition to the recommendations of an issuer’s management even if contrary to the recommendations of a third-party proxy voting research provider; (2) if management has made no recommendations, the Proxy Group may defer to the voting instructions of the Investment Managers; and (3) with respect to shares held by Franklin Resources, Inc. or its affiliates for their own corporate accounts, such shares may be voted without regard to these conflict procedures.
Otherwise, in
situations where a material conflict of interest is identified between the Investment Managers or one of its affiliates (other than Independent Affiliates) and an issuer, the Proxy Group may vote consistent with the voting recommendation of a Proxy Service or send the proxy directly to the relevant Advisory Clients with the Investment Managers’ recommendation regarding the vote for approval. To address certain affiliate conflict situations, the Investment Managers will employ pass-through voting or mirror voting when required pursuant to a fund’s governing documents or applicable law.
Where the Proxy Group refers a matter to an Advisory Client, it may rely upon the instructions of a representative of the Advisory Client, such as the board of directors or trustees, a committee of the board, or an appointed delegate in the case of a U.S. registered investment company, a conducting officer in the case of a fund that has appointed FTIS S.à.r.l as its Management Company, the Independent Review Committee for Canadian investment funds, or a plan administrator in the case of an employee benefit plan. A quorum of the board of directors or trustees or of a committee of the board can be reached by a majority of members, or a majority of non-recused members. The Proxy Group may determine to vote all shares held by Advisory Clients of the Investment Managers and affiliated Investment Managers (other than Independent Affiliates) in accordance with the instructions of one or more of the Advisory Clients.
The Investment Managers may also decide whether to vote proxies for securities deemed to present conflicts of interest that are sold following a record date, but before a shareholder meeting date. The Investment Managers may consider various factors in deciding whether to vote such proxies, including the Investment Managers’ long-term view of the issuer’s securities for investment, or it may defer the decision to vote to the applicable Advisory Client. The Investment Managers also may be unable to vote, or choose not to vote, a proxy for securities deemed to present a conflict of interest for any of the reasons outlined in the first paragraph of the section of these policies entitled “Proxy Procedures.”
Weight Given Management Recommendations
One of the primary factors the Investment Managers consider when determining the desirability of investing in a particular company is the quality and depth of that company's management. Accordingly, the recommendation of management on any issue is a factor that the Investment Managers consider in determining how proxies should be voted. However, the Investment Managers do not consider recommendations from management to be determinative of the Investment Managers’ ultimate decision. Each issue is considered on its own merits, and the Investment Managers will not support the position of a company's management in any situation where it determines that the ratification of management's position would adversely affect the investment merits of owning that company's shares.
Engagement with Issuers
The Investment Managers believe that engagement with issuers is important to good corporate governance and to assist in making proxy voting decisions. The Investment Managers may engage with issuers to discuss specific ballot items to be voted on in advance of an annual or special meeting to obtain further information or clarification on the proposals. The Investment Managers may also engage with management on a range of environmental, social or corporate governance issues throughout the year.
THE PROXY GROUP
The Proxy Group is part of the Franklin Templeton Companies, LLC Legal Department and is overseen by legal counsel. Full-time staff members and support staff (which includes individuals that are employees of affiliates of Franklin Templeton Companies, LLC) are devoted to proxy voting administration and oversight and providing support and assistance where needed. On a daily basis, the Proxy Group will review each proxy upon receipt as well as any agendas, materials and recommendations that they receive from a Proxy Service or other sources. The Proxy Group maintains a record of all shareholder meetings that are scheduled for companies whose securities are held by the Investment Managers’ managed funds and accounts. For each shareholder meeting, a member of the Proxy Group will consult with the research analyst that follows the security and provide the analyst with the agenda, analyses of one or more Proxy Services, recommendations and any other information provided to the Proxy Group. Except in situations identified as presenting material conflicts of interest, the Investment Managers’ research analyst and relevant portfolio manager(s) are responsible for making the final voting decision based on their review of the agenda, analyses of one or more Proxy Services, proxy statements, their knowledge of the company and any other information publicly available.
In situations where the Investment Managers have not responded with vote recommendations to the Proxy Group by the deadline date, the Proxy Group may vote consistent with the vote recommendations of a Proxy Service. Except in cases where the Proxy Group is voting consistent with the voting recommendation of a Proxy Service, the Proxy Group must obtain voting instructions from the Investment Managers’ research analysts, relevant portfolio manager(s), legal counsel and/or the Advisory Client prior to submitting the vote. In the event that an account holds a security that an Investment Manager did not purchase on its behalf, and the Investment Manager does not normally consider the security as a potential investment for other accounts, the Proxy Group may vote consistent with the voting recommendations of a Proxy Service or take no action on the meeting.
PROXY PROCEDURES
The Proxy Group is fully cognizant of its responsibility to process proxies and maintain proxy records as may be required by relevant rules and regulations. In addition, the Investment Managers understand their fiduciary duty to vote proxies and that proxy voting decisions may affect the value of shareholdings. Therefore, the Investment Managers will generally attempt to process every proxy it receives for all domestic and foreign securities. However, there may be situations in which the Investment Managers may be unable to successfully vote a proxy, or may choose not to vote a proxy, such as where: (i) a proxy ballot was not received from the custodian bank; (ii) a meeting notice was received too late; (iii) there are fees imposed upon the exercise of a vote and it is determined that such fees outweigh the benefit of voting; (iv) there are legal encumbrances to voting, including blocking restrictions in certain markets that preclude the ability to dispose of a security if an Investment Manager votes a proxy or where the Investment Manager is prohibited from voting by applicable law, economic or other sanctions, or other regulatory or market requirements, including but not limited to, effective Powers of Attorney; (v) additional documentation or the disclosure of beneficial owner details is required; (vi) the Investment Managers held shares on the record date but has sold them prior to the meeting date; (vii) the Advisory Client held shares on the record date, but the Advisory Client closed the account prior to the meeting date; (viii) a proxy voting service is not offered by the custodian in the market; (ix) due to either system error or human error, the Investment Managers’ intended vote is not correctly submitted; (x) the Investment Managers believe it is not in the best interest of the Advisory Client to vote the proxy for any other reason not enumerated herein; or (xi) a security is subject to a securities lending or similar program that has transferred legal title to the security to another person.
Rejected Votes
Even if the Investment Managers use reasonable efforts to vote a proxy on behalf of its Advisory Clients, such vote or proxy may be rejected because of (a) operational or procedural issues experienced by one or more third parties involved in voting proxies in such jurisdictions; (b) changes in the process or agenda for the meeting by the issuer for which the Investment Managers do not have sufficient notice; or (c) the exercise by the issuer of its discretion to reject the vote of the Investment Managers. In addition, despite the best efforts of the Proxy Group and its agents, there may be situations where the Investment Managers’ votes are not received, or properly tabulated, by an issuer or the issuer’s agent.
Securities on Loan
The Investment Managers or their affiliates may, on behalf of one or more of the proprietary registered investment companies advised by the Investment Managers or their affiliates, make efforts  to recall any security on loan where the Investment Manager or its affiliates (a) learn of a vote on an event that may materially affect a security on loan and (b) determine that it is in the best interests of such proprietary registered investment companies to recall the security for voting purposes. The ability to timely recall shares is not entirely within the control of the Investment Managers. Under certain circumstances, the recall of shares in time for such shares to be voted may not be possible due to applicable proxy voting record dates or other administrative considerations.
 
 
Split Voting
There may be instances in certain non-U.S. markets where split voting is not allowed. Split voting occurs when a position held within an account is voted in accordance with two differing instructions. Some markets and/or issuers only allow voting on an entire position and do not accept split voting. In certain cases, when more than one Franklin Templeton investment manager has accounts holding shares of an issuer that are held in an omnibus structure, the Proxy Group will seek direction from an appropriate representative of the Advisory Client with multiple Investment Managers (such as a conducting officer of the Management Company in the case of a SICAV), or the Proxy Group will submit the vote based on the voting instructions provided by the Investment Manager with accounts holding the greatest number of shares of the security within the omnibus structure.
Bundled Items
If several issues are bundled together in a single voting item, the Investment Managers will assess the total benefit to shareholders and the extent that such issues should be subject to separate voting proposals.
PROCEDURES FOR MEETINGS INVOLVING FIXED INCOME SECURITIES & PRIVATELY HELD ISSUERS
From time to time, certain custodians may process events for fixed income securities through their proxy voting channels rather than corporate action channels for administrative convenience. In such cases, the Proxy Group will receive ballots for such events on the ISS voting platform. The Proxy Group will solicit voting instructions from the Investment Managers for each account or fund involved. If the Proxy Group does not receive voting instructions from the Investment Managers, the Proxy Group will take no action on the event. The Investment Managers may be unable to vote a proxy for a fixed income security, or may choose not to vote a proxy, for the reasons described under the section entitled “Proxy Procedures.”
In the rare instance where there is a vote for a privately held issuer, the decision will generally be made by the relevant portfolio managers or research analysts.
The Proxy Group will monitor such meetings involving fixed income securities or privately held issuers for conflicts of interest in accordance with these procedures. If a fixed income or privately held issuer is flagged as a potential conflict of interest, the Investment Managers may nonetheless vote as it deems in the best interests of its Advisory Clients. The Investment Managers will report such decisions on an annual basis to Advisory Clients as may be required.

These Proxy Policies apply to accounts managed by personnel within

The following Proxy Policies apply to FAV, FMA, FTIC, FTIML, and TAML only:
HOW THE INVESTMENT MANAGERS VOTE PROXIES
Proxy Services
Certain of the Investment Managers’ separate accounts or funds (or a portion thereof) are included under Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions (“FTIS”), a separate investment group within Franklin Templeton, and employ a quantitative strategy.
For such accounts, FTIS’s proprietary methodologies rely on a combination of quantitative, qualitative, and behavioral analysis rather than fundamental security research and analyst coverage that an actively managed portfolio would ordinarily employ. Accordingly, absent client direction, in light of the high number of positions held by such accounts and the considerable time and effort that would be required to review proxy statements and ISS or Glass Lewis recommendations, the Investment Manager may review ISS’s non-US Benchmark guidelines, ISS’s specialty guidelines (in particular, ISS’s Sustainability guidelines), or Glass Lewis’s US guidelines (the “the ISS and Glass Lewis Proxy Voting Guidelines”) and determine, consistent with the best interest of its clients, to provide standing instructions to the Proxy Group to vote proxies according to the recommendations of ISS or Glass Lewis.
The Investment Manager, however, retains the ability to vote a proxy differently than ISS or Glass Lewis recommends if the Investment Manager determines that it would be in the best interests of Advisory Clients (for example, where an issuer files additional solicitation materials after a Proxy Service has issued its voting recommendations but sufficiently before the vote submission deadline and these materials would reasonably be expected to affect the Investment Manager’s voting determination).
The following Proxy Policies apply to FASL only:
HOW THE INVESTMENT MANAGERS VOTE PROXIES
Proxy Services
The Franklin LibertyQ branded smart beta exchange traded funds and other passively managed exchange traded funds (collectively, “ETFs”), seek to track a particular securities index. As a result, each ETF may hold the securities of hundreds of issuers. Because the primary criteria for determining whether a security should be included (or continued to be included) in an ETF’s investment portfolio is whether such security is a representative component of the securities index that the ETF is seeking to track, the ETFs do not require the fundamental security research and analyst coverage that an actively managed portfolio would require.  Accordingly, in light of the high number of positions held by an ETF and the considerable time and effort that would be required to review proxy statements and ISS or Glass Lewis recommendations, the Investment Manager may review ISS’s non-US Benchmark guidelines, ISS’s specialty guidelines (in particular, ISS’s Sustainability guidelines), or Glass Lewis’s US guidelines (the “ISS and Glass Lewis Proxy Voting Guidelines”) and determine, consistent with the best interest of its clients, to provide standing instructions to the Proxy Group to vote proxies according to the recommendations of ISS or Glass Lewis rather than analyze each individual proxy vote.  Permitting the Investment Manager of the ETFs to defer its judgment for voting on a proxy to the recommendations of ISS or Glass Lewis may result in a proxy related to the securities of a particular issuer held by an ETF being voted differently from the same proxy that is voted on by other funds managed by the Investment Managers.
The following Proxy Policies apply to FTIC, FTIML, and TAML only:
