A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 57.56% of the average value of its portfolio.</p></div>Principal Investment StrategiesUnder normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in investments of smaller companies located outside the U.S., including emerging markets.<div><p>Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in investments of smaller companies located outside the U.S., including emerging markets. The Fund invests principally in equity securities, primarily common stocks. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in the equity securities of larger foreign companies and more than 25% of its assets in the securities of issuers located in any one country.</p><p>The investment manager employs a strategy of investing in equity securities of companies with a market capitalization of not more than $2 billion at the time of initial purchase. For purposes of monitoring the Fund&#146;s compliance with the requirement that it invest mainly in the equity securities of smaller companies, smaller companies are defined as those with market capitalizations that do not exceed $4 billion.</p><p>When choosing equity investments for the Fund, the investment manager applies a &#147;bottom-up,&#148; value-oriented, long-term approach, focusing on the market price of a company&#146;s securities relative to the investment manager&#146;s evaluation of the company&#146;s long-term earnings, asset value and cash flow potential. The investment manager also considers a company&#146;s price/earnings ratio, profit margins and liquidation value.</p><p>The investment manager may consider selling an equity security when it believes the security has become overvalued due to either its price appreciation or changes in the company's fundamentals, or when the investment manager believes another security is a more attractive investment opportunity.</p></div>Principal Risks<div><p>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Mutual fund shares are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other agency of the U.S. government.</p><p>Market</p><p>The market values of securities owned by the Fund will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. A security&#146;s market value may be reduced by market activity or other results of supply and demand unrelated to the issuer. This is a basic risk associated with all securities. When there are more sellers than buyers, prices tend to fall. Likewise, when there are more buyers than sellers, prices tend to rise.</p><p>Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of other types of investments. A slower-growth or recessionary economic environment could have an adverse effect on the prices of the various stocks held by the Fund.</p><p>Smaller Companies</p><p>Securities issued by smaller companies may be more volatile in price than those of larger companies, involve substantial risks and should be considered speculative. Such risks may include greater sensitivity to economic conditions, less certain growth prospects, lack of depth of management and funds for growth and development and limited or less developed product lines and markets. In addition, smaller companies may be particularly affected by interest rate increases, as they may find it more difficult to borrow money to continue or expand operations, or may have difficulty in repaying any loans.</p><p>Foreign Securities</p><p>Investing in foreign securities typically involves more risks than investing in U.S. securities, and includes risks associated with: political and economic developments - the political, economic and social structures of some foreign countries may be less stable and more volatile than those in the U.S.; trading practices - government supervision and regulation of foreign securities and currency markets, trading systems and brokers may be less than in the U.S.; availability of information - foreign issuers may not be subject to the same disclosure, accounting and financial reporting standards and practices as U.S. issuers; limited markets - the securities of certain foreign issuers may be less liquid (harder to sell) and more volatile; and currency exchange rate fluctuations and policies. The risks of foreign investments may be greater in developing or emerging market countries.</p><p>Emerging Markets</p><p>The Fund&#146;s investments in emerging market countries are subject to all of the risks of foreign investing generally, and have additional heightened risks due to a lack of established legal, political, business and social frameworks to support securities markets, including: delays in settling portfolio securities transactions; currency and capital controls; greater sensitivity to interest rate changes; pervasiveness of corruption and crime; currency exchange rate volatility; and inflation, deflation or currency devaluation.</p><p>Value Style Investing</p><p>A value stock may not increase in price as anticipated by the investment manager if other investors fail to recognize the company's value and bid up the price, the markets favor faster-growing companies, or the factors that the investment manager believes will increase the price of the security do not occur.</p><p>Management</p><p>The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Fund's investment manager applies investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results.</p></div>PerformanceThe following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 41.30% of the average value of its portfolio.</p></div>Principal Investment Strategies<div><p>Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in securities of "Indian companies." The Fund invests primarily in the equity securities of Indian companies, which are those that:</p><p>are organized under the laws of, or with a principal office in, or for which the principal trading market for their securities is, India; or</p><p>derive 50% or more of their total revenue or profit from either goods or services produced or sales made in India; or</p><p>have 50% or more of their assets in India.</p><p>The Fund may invest in companies of any size, and may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of smaller companies. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks. The Fund currently intends to invest in the securities of Indian companies by investing in shares of a wholly-owned, collective investment vehicle (the "Portfolio"), registered with and regulated by the Mauritius Financial Services Commission. Investing through the Portfolio is intended to provide the Fund with a tax-efficient method of investing indirectly in Indian companies.</p><p>Unless the context otherwise requires, descriptions in this prospectus of securities and transactions, and their associated risks, generally refer to investments made indirectly by the Fund through the Portfolio.</p><p>In addition to the Fund's main investments, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities that do not qualify as Indian company securities. When consistent with the Fund's investment goal, up to 20% of the Fund's net assets may be invested in debt obligations, including debt obligations of Indian companies, which may be lower-rated or unrated.</p><p>The investment manager is a research driven, fundamental investor, pursuing a growth strategy for the Fund. As a "bottom-up" investor focusing primarily on individual securities, the investment manager looks for companies whose current market price, in the investment manager's opinion, does not reflect future growth prospects. The investment manager chooses companies that have identifiable drivers of future earnings growth and present, in the investment manager's opinion, the best trade-off between that potential earnings growth, business and financial risk, and valuation.</p></div>Principal Risks<div><p>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Mutual fund shares are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other agency of the U.S. government.</p><p>Market</p><p>The market values of securities owned by the Fund will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. A security&#146;s market value may be reduced by market activity or other results of supply and demand unrelated to the issuer. This is a basic risk associated with all securities. When there are more sellers than buyers, prices tend to fall. Likewise, when there are more buyers than sellers, prices tend to rise.</p><p>Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of other types of investments. A slower-growth or recessionary economic environment could have an adverse effect on the prices of the various stocks held by the Fund.</p><p>Foreign Securities</p><p>Investing in foreign securities typically involves more risks than investing in U.S. securities, and includes risks associated with: political and economic developments - the political, economic and social structures of some foreign countries may be less stable and more volatile than those in the U.S.; trading practices - government supervision and regulation of foreign securities and currency markets, trading systems and brokers may be less than in the U.S.; availability of information - foreign issuers may not be subject to the same disclosure, accounting and financial reporting standards and practices as U.S. issuers; limited markets - the securities of certain foreign issuers may be less liquid (harder to sell) and more volatile; and currency exchange rate fluctuations and policies. The risks of foreign investments may be greater in developing or emerging market countries.</p><p>Investment through Mauritius</p><p>The Fund currently intends to invest indirectly in securities of Indian companies through the Portfolio, an entity formed in the Republic of Mauritius. The Fund and the Portfolio rely on the income tax treaty between India and Mauritius (the "Treaty") for relief from certain Indian taxes. Possible Treaty renegotiation and legislative changes in the requirements to establish residency in Mauritius may result in higher taxes and lower returns for the Fund.</p><p>Developing Market Countries</p><p>The Fund&#146;s investments in developing market countries are subject to all of the risks of foreign investing generally, and have additional heightened risks due to a lack of established legal, political, business and social frameworks to support securities markets, including: delays in settling portfolio securities transactions; currency and capital controls; greater sensitivity to interest rate changes; pervasiveness of corruption and crime; currency exchange rate volatility; and inflation, deflation or currency devaluation.</p><p>Country Focus</p><p>Because the Fund invests its assets primarily in companies in a specific country or region, the Fund is subject to greater risks of adverse developments in that country and/or the surrounding regions than a fund that is more broadly diversified geographically. Political, social or economic disruptions in the country or region, even in countries in which the Fund is not invested, may adversely affect security values in the country or region in which the Fund is invested.</p><p>There are special risks associated with investments in India, including exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, expropriation, confiscatory taxation, and exchange control regulations (including currency blockage). Because the Fund typically does not seek to manage its exposure to foreign currencies, the Fund's investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the Indian rupee. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation and interest rates have had, and may continue to have, negative effects on the economy and securities markets of India. A high proportion of the securities of many Indian issuers are held by a limited number of persons or entities, which may limit the number of shares available for investment by the Fund. Also, a limited number of issuers represent a disproportionately large percentage of market capitalization and trading value.</p><p>Although the Portfolio is registered as a sub-account of Franklin Advisers, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Board of India, it must still periodically seek renewal of this status. There can be no guarantee that regulatory approval will be forthcoming or that it will not be rescinded. The primary tax advantage of investing through the Portfolio and relying on the currently effective income tax treaty between India and Mauritius is the elimination of the 15% Indian tax on short-term capital gains. However, any amendments to the treaty or legislative changes may result in higher taxes and lower returns for the Fund in the future.</p><p>Smaller and Midsize Companies</p><p>Securities issued by smaller and midsize companies may be more volatile in price than those of larger companies, involve substantial risks and should be considered speculative. Such risks may include greater sensitivity to economic conditions, less certain growth prospects, lack of depth of management and funds for growth and development and limited or less developed product lines and markets. In addition, smaller and midsize companies may be particularly affected by interest rate increases, as they may find it more difficult to borrow money to continue or expand operations, or may have difficulty in repaying any loans.</p><p>Growth Style Investing</p><p>Growth stock prices reflect projections of future earnings or revenues, and can, therefore, fall dramatically if the company fails to meet those projections. Prices of these companies&#146; securities may be more volatile than other securities, particularly over the short term.</p><p>Management</p><p>The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Fund's investment manager applies investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results.</p></div>PerformanceThe following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Example reflects adjustments made to the Fund's operating expenses due to the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement by the investment manager and/or administrator for the 1 Year numbers only.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 62.96% of the average value of its portfolio.</p></div>Principal Investment StrategiesUnder normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in equity securities in developed, emerging and frontier markets across the entire market capitalization spectrum.<div><p>Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in equity securities in developed, emerging and frontier markets across the entire market capitalization spectrum. The Fund is structured as a multi-manager fund, with the investment manager having overall responsibility for the Fund&#146;s investments. The investment manager works and sub-contracts with various local asset management teams within Franklin Templeton Investments (the "Sub-Advisors") to determine regional/country allocation and each of the Sub-Advisors will be responsible for selecting investments for that portion of the Fund&#146;s portfolio allocated to it. The investment manager and the Sub-Advisors develop local portfolios of securities seeking to outperform the relevant market of each region. The allocations to each region are generally based on the current allocations to each respective region in the MSCI All Country World Plus Frontier Markets benchmark index, although the Fund's investments will not necessarily be in the securities that comprise the index. The Fund&#146;s actual exposure to various regions and markets will vary from time to time according to the investment manager&#146;s and the Sub-Advisors' opinions as to the prevailing conditions and prospects for these markets.</p><p>The Fund invests in growth-oriented equity securities of companies listed on the stock markets in regions/countries that may include but are not limited to Africa; Australia; North America: United States, Canada; Latin America; Europe; Asia: Japan, Korea, China, India; and the Middle East, with the benefit of local knowledge and growth oriented investment style. The Fund may invest in developed or emerging market countries, including those considered to be &#147;frontier&#148; market countries, i.e. those that are smaller, less developed and less accessible emerging market countries. The equity securities in which the Fund invests are primarily common stocks and preferred stocks.</p><p>When choosing equity investments for the Fund, the investment manager and the Sub-Advisors apply a research driven, &#147;bottom up,&#148; fundamental long-term approach, focusing on the market price of a company&#146;s securities relative to the investment manager&#146;s and the Sub-Advisors' evaluation of the company&#146;s long-term earnings, asset value and cash flow potential. The Fund seeks to invest in financially strong companies with favorable growth potential and sustainable competitive advantages. The investment manager and the Sub-Advisors may also consider a company&#146;s price/earnings ratio, profit margins and liquidation value.</p></div>Principal Risks<div><p>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Mutual fund shares are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other agency of the U.S. government.</p><p>Market</p><p>The market values of securities owned by the Fund will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. A security&#146;s market value may be reduced by market activity or other results of supply and demand unrelated to the issuer. This is a basic risk associated with all securities. When there are more sellers than buyers, prices tend to fall. Likewise, when there are more buyers than sellers, prices tend to rise.</p><p>Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of other types of investments. A slower-growth or recessionary economic environment could have an adverse effect on the prices of the various stocks held by the Fund.</p><p>Foreign Securities</p><p>Investing in foreign securities typically involves more risks than investing in U.S. securities, and includes risks associated with: political and economic developments - the political, economic and social structures of some foreign countries may be less stable and more volatile than those in the U.S.; trading practices - government supervision and regulation of foreign securities and currency markets, trading systems and brokers may be less than in the U.S.; availability of information - foreign issuers may not be subject to the same disclosure, accounting and financial reporting standards and practices as U.S. issuers; limited markets - the securities of certain foreign issuers may be less liquid (harder to sell) and more volatile; and currency exchange rate fluctuations and policies. The risks of foreign investments may be greater in developing or emerging market countries.</p><p>Developing Market Countries</p><p>The Fund&#146;s investments in developing market countries are subject to all of the risks of foreign investing generally, and have additional heightened risks due to a lack of established legal, political, business and social frameworks to support securities markets, including: delays in settling portfolio securities transactions; currency and capital controls; greater sensitivity to interest rate changes; pervasiveness of corruption and crime; currency exchange rate volatility; and inflation, deflation or currency devaluation.</p><p>Smaller and Midsize Companies</p><p>Securities issued by smaller and midsize companies may be more volatile in price than those of larger companies, involve substantial risks and should be considered speculative. Such risks may include greater sensitivity to economic conditions, less certain growth prospects, lack of depth of management and funds for growth and development and limited or less developed product lines and markets. In addition, smaller and midsize companies may be particularly affected by interest rate increases, as they may find it more difficult to borrow money to continue or expand operations, or may have difficulty in repaying any loans.</p><p>Growth Style Investing</p><p>Growth stock prices reflect projections of future earnings or revenues, and can, therefore, fall dramatically if the company fails to meet those projections. Prices of these companies&#146; securities may be more volatile than other securities, particularly over the short term.</p><p>Management</p><p>The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Fund's investment manager applies investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results.</p></div>PerformanceThe following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of an investment in the Fund by comparing the Fund's performance with a broad measure of market performance.
