SUPPLEMENT DATED MAY 1, 2013

TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED AUGUST 1, 2012

TEMPLETON GLOBAL INVESTMENT TRUST

Templeton Asian Growth Fund

The prospectus is amended as follows:

I. The Fund will begin offering Class R6 shares on or about May 1, 2013. Therefore, on or about May 1, 2013, the Fund will offer four classes of shares, Class A, Class C, Class R6 and Advisor Class.

II. The “Fund Summary” – “Shareholder Fees” table, “Annual Fund Operating Expenses” table and “Example” table beginning on page 2 are replaced with the following:

SHAREHOLDER FEES (fees paid directly from your investment)

	Class A	Class C	Class R6¹	Advisor Class
Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases (as percentage of offering price)	5.75%	None	None	None
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) (as percentage of the lower of original purchase price or sale proceeds)	None	1.00%	None	None

1. The Fund began offering Class R6 shares on May 1, 2013.

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES

(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

	Class A	Class C	Class R6	Advisor Class
Management fees¹	1.30%	1.30%	1.30%	1.30%
Distribution and service (12b-1) fees	0.25%	1.00%	None	None
Other expenses^{1, 2}	1.97%	1.97%	1.75%	1.97%
Total annual Fund operating expenses	3.52%	4.27%	3.05%	3.27%
Fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement³	-1.85%	-1.85%	-1.85%	-1.85%
Total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement³	1.67%	2.42%	1.20%	1.42%

1. Management fees and other expenses have been restated to reflect current fiscal year fees and expenses as a result of the bundling of the Fund's investment management agreement with its fund administration agreement effective May 1, 2013. Such combined investment management fees are described further under "Management" in the Fund's prospectus. Total annual fund operating expenses are not affected by such bundling.

2. Other expenses for Class R6 represent an estimate of expenses, including the effect of this Class' lower shareholder servicing fees.

3. Restated to reflect the decrease in the investment management fee effective May 1, 2011. Management has contractually agreed to waive or assume certain expenses so that total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 fees and acquired fund fees and expenses) for each class of the Fund do not exceed (and could be less than) 1.42% (other than certain nonroutine expenses) until July 31, 2014. Contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement agreements may not be terminated during the term set forth above.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of the period. 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 management for the 1 Year numbers only. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	$ 735	$ 1,431	$ 2,147	$ 4,034
Class C	$ 345	$ 1,128	$ 2,023	$ 4,319
Class R6	$ 122	$ 767	$ 1,438	$ 3,232
Advisor Class	$ 145	$ 834	$ 1,547	$ 3,441
If you do not sell your shares:
Class C	$ 245	$ 1,128	$ 2,023	$ 4,319

III. The “Fund Summary – Portfolio Turnover” section beginning on page 3 is revised with the following:

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). 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 13.05% of the average value of its portfolio.

IV. The “Fund Summary – Principal Risks – Market Risk” section beginning on page 5 is revised as follows:

Market The market values of securities owned by the Fund will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. A security’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.

Stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of debt securities. A slower-growth or recessionary economic environment could have an adverse effect on the prices of the various stocks held by the Fund.

V. The “Fund Summary – Performance” section beginning on page 6 is revised with the following:

Performance

The 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. The bar chart shows the Fund's performance for the most recent calendar year for Class A shares. The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. You can obtain updated performance information at franklintempleton.com or by calling (800) DIAL BEN/342-5236.

Sales charges are not reflected in the bar chart, and if those charges were included, returns would be less than those shown.

CLASS A ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

Best Quarter:	Q1'12	15.68%
Worst Quarter:	Q3'11	-21.46%
As of March 31, 2013, the Fund's year-to-date return was 1.51%.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
(figures reflect sales charges)

For the periods ended December 31, 2012

	1 Year	Since Inception 11/1/2010
Templeton Asian Growth Fund - Class A
Return Before Taxes	14.27%	-4.67%
Return After Taxes on Distributions	14.20%	—
Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares	9.89%	—
Templeton Asian Growth Fund - Class C	19.27%	-2.75%
Templeton Asian Growth Fund - Advisor Class	21.46%	-1.80%
MSCI All Country Asia ex-Japan Index (index reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes)	22.70%	-11.93%

Performance information for Class R6 shares is not shown because it had not commenced operations as of the date of this prospectus.

The after-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown only for Class A and after-tax returns for other classes will vary.

VI. The “Fund Details – Management” section beginning on page 18 is revised to add the following:

Effective May 1, 2013, the Fund’s investment management agreement was bundled with its fund administration agreement, including the fees of 0.20% payable thereunder, as approved by the board of trustees. As of such date, the Fund’s investment management fee became:

1.30% of the value of net assets up to and including $1 billion;
1.25% of the value of net assets over $1 billion up to and including $5 billion;
1.20% of the value of net assets over $5 billion up to and including $10 billion;
1.15% of the value of net assets over $10 billion up to and including $15 billion;
1.10% of the value of net assets over $15 billion up to and including $20 billion; and
1.05% of the value of net assets over $20 billion.

The Fund pays Asset Management a fee for managing the Fund’s assets. Asset Management and other affiliated service providers for the Fund have agreed to waive fees or to assume as their own certain expenses otherwise payable by the Fund so that the total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 fees and acquired fund fees and expenses) for each class of the Fund do not exceed (and could be less than) 1.42% (other than certain non-routine expenses or costs, including those relating to litigation, indemnification, reorganizations and liquidations), until July 31, 2014. Under this fee and expense waiver, common fees and expenses of the Fund (including management, administration and other fees) will be waived equally among all classes and, to the extent necessary, transfer agency fees will be waived equally among all classes, except with respect to Class R6, for which its class-specific transfer agency fees may be waived in a different amount.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, Asset Management and the Fund’s administrator agreed to waive or limit their respective fees and to assume as their own certain expenses otherwise payable by the Fund so that common expenses (i.e., a combination of investment management fees, administration fees, and other expenses, but excluding the Rule 12b‑1 fees) for each class of the Fund did not exceed 1.42% (other than certain non-routine expenses or costs, including those relating to litigation, indemnification, reorganizations and liquidations) until July 31, 2013. The management fees before and after such waiver for the year ended March 31, 2012, were 1.10% and 0.00%, respectively.

VII. The “Fund Details – Management – Special Servicing Agreement” section on page 19 is deleted in its entirety.

VIII. The “Fund Details - Financial Highlights” beginning on page 23 are updated to review figures for the six months ended September 30, 2012:

IX. The first paragraph and the table of the “Fund Details – Your Account - Choosing a Share Class” section beginning on page 26 is replaced with the following:

Each class has its own sales charge and expense structure, allowing you to choose the class that best meets your situation. Your investment representative (financial advisor) can help you decide. Investors may purchase Class C shares only for Fund accounts on which they have appointed an investment representative (financial advisor) of record. Investors who have not appointed an investment representative (financial advisor) to existing Class C share Fund accounts may not make additional purchases to those accounts but may exchange their shares for shares of a Franklin Templeton fund that offers Class C shares. Dividend and capital gain distributions may continue to be reinvested in existing Class C share Fund accounts. These provisions do not apply to Employer Sponsored Retirement Plans.

Class A	Class C	Class R6	Advisor Class
Initial sales charge of 5.75% or less	No initial sales charge	See "Qualified Investors – Class R6" below	See "Qualified Investors – Advisor Class
Deferred sales charge of 1% on purchases of $1 million or more sold within 18 months	Deferred sales charge of 1% on shares you sell within 12 months
Lower annual expenses than Class C due to lower distribution fees	Higher annual expenses than Class A due to higher distribution fees

The Fund began offering Class R6 shares on May 1, 2013.

X. The “Fund Details – Your Account - Choosing a Share Class – Sales Charge Waivers” section on page 30 is replaced with the following:

Sales Charge Waivers

Class A shares may be purchased without an initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) by certain investors or for certain payments. If you would like information about available sales charge waivers, call your investment representative or call Shareholder Services at (800) 632-2301.

Waivers for investments from certain payments. Class A shares may be purchased without an initial sales charge or CDSC by investors who reinvest within 90 days:

· Dividend and capital gain distributions from any Franklin Templeton fund. The distributions generally must be reinvested in the same share class. Certain exceptions apply, however, to Class C shareholders who chose to reinvest their distributions in Class A shares of the Fund before November 17, 1997, and to Class R6, Advisor Class or Class Z shareholders of a Franklin Templeton fund who may reinvest their distributions in the Fund's Class A shares.

· Annuity payments received under either an annuity option or from death benefit proceeds, if the annuity contract offers as an investment option the Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust. You should contact your tax advisor for information on any tax consequences that may apply.

Redemption proceeds from the sale of Class A shares of any of the Franklin Templeton Investment Funds if you are a qualified investor.
If you paid a CDSC when you redeemed your Class A shares from a Franklin Templeton Investment Fund, a new CDSC will apply to your purchase of Fund shares and the CDSC holding period will begin again. We will, however, credit your Fund account with additional shares based on the CDSC you previously paid and the amount of the redemption proceeds that you reinvest.
If you immediately placed your redemption proceeds in a Franklin Templeton money fund, you may reinvest them as described above. The proceeds must be reinvested within 90 days from the date they are redeemed from the money fund.

Waivers for certain investors. The following investors or investments qualify to buy Class A shares without an initial sales charge or CDSC due to anticipated economies in sales efforts and expenses, including:

Class C shares may be purchased without limit or CDSC by the Franklin Templeton Charitable Giving Fund.

Governments, municipalities, and tax-exempt entities that meet the requirements for qualification under section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code when purchasing direct from the Fund. Please consult your legal and investment advisors to determine if an investment in the Fund is permissible and suitable for you.

Current partners of law firms that currently provide legal counsel to the funds, Franklin Resources, Inc. or its affiliates.
Assets held in accounts managed by a subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc.: (1) under an advisory agreement (including sub-advisory agreements); and/or (2) as trustee of an inter vivos or testamentary trust.
Certain unit investment trusts and their holders reinvesting distributions from the trusts.
Any trust or plan established as part of a qualified tuition program under Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

Such purchases are subject to minimum investment requirements, which are available from Distributors or Franklin Templeton Investment Services GMbH.
Assets held in accounts managed by a state or federally regulated trust company or bank (Trust Company) either as discretionary trustee of an inter vivos or testamentary trust or as investment manager under an advisory agreement (including sub-advisory) or other agreement that grants the Trust Company investment discretion over those assets (Trust Company Managed Assets) if (i) the aggregate value of Trust Company Managed Assets invested in Franklin Templeton funds at the time of purchase equals at least $1 million; and (ii) the purchased shares are registered directly to the Trust Company in its corporate capacity (not as trustee of an individual trust) and held solely as Trust Company Managed Assets.
Advisory Fee Programs. Shares acquired by an investor in connection with a comprehensive fee or other advisory fee arrangement between the investor and a registered broker-dealer or investment advisor, trust company or bank (referred to as the “Sponsor”) in which the investor pays that Sponsor a fee for investment advisory services and the Sponsor or a broker-dealer through whom the shares are acquired has an agreement with Distributors authorizing the sale of Fund shares. No minimum initial investment.

Retirement plans. Provided that Franklin Templeton Investor Services, LLC is notified, Class A shares at NAV are available for:

Employer Sponsored Retirement Plans (Plan) that invest indirectly in Fund shares through Fund omnibus accounts registered to a financial intermediary; or
An Employer Sponsored Retirement Plan if the employer sponsors one or more Plans with aggregate Plan assets of $1 million or more; or
Investors who open an IRA with proceeds rolled over directly from an Employer Sponsored Retirement Plan if the IRA is a "Common Platform IRA." An IRA is a Common Platform IRA if (i) the IRA custodian or recordkeeper, or one of its affiliates, is the recordkeeper for the Plan at the time the IRA is opened; and (ii) Fund shares transferred in-kind to a “Common Platform IRA” opened by a direct rollover to that IRA from an Employer Sponsored Retirement Plan; or
The portion of any direct rollover from a participant’s Employer Sponsored Retirement Plan account or direct transfer from a 403(b) plan account to a Franklin Templeton IRA with Franklin Templeton Bank & Trust (FTB&T) as the custodian that is funded by the sale immediately prior to the rollover/transfer of Franklin Templeton fund shares held in the Plan account, provided that documentation accompanies the rollover/transfer instruction that reasonably supports this funding source requirement; or
Investors who open an IRA as a spousal rollover or a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) if opened with proceeds from a "Former DCS Plan" and/or a plan for which FTB&T is trustee; or
Investors who open a Franklin Templeton IRA prior to November 1, 2012 with proceeds rolled over directly from a "Former DCS Plan."

A "Qualified Retirement Plan" is an employer sponsored pension or profit sharing plan that qualifies under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, including 401(k), money purchase pension, profit sharing and defined benefit plans.

An "Employer Sponsored Retirement Plan" is a Qualified Retirement Plan, ERISA covered 403(b) and certain non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements that operate in a similar manner to a Qualified Retirement Plan, such as 457 plans and executive deferred compensation arrangements, but not including employer sponsored IRAs.

· A "Former DCS Plan" is an Employer Sponsored Retirement Plan that transferred participant level recordkeeping from the DCS Division of Franklin Templeton Investor Services, LLC to Great-West Retirement Services^® (GWRS) on November 2, 2007 and is a recordkeeping client of GWRS at the time of the rollover.

XI. The following is added to the “Fund Details – Your Account - Choosing a Share Class” section on page 32:

Qualified Investors - Class R6

Class R6 shares are available to the following investors:

· Employer Sponsored Retirement Plans where plan level or omnibus accounts are held on the books of Franklin Templeton Investor Services.

· Other Franklin Templeton funds.

XII. The “Fund Details – Your Account – Exchanging Shares” section beginning on page 44 is revised as follows:

Class R6

You can exchange your Class R6 shares for Class R6 shares of other Franklin Templeton funds. You also may exchange your Class R6 shares for Advisor Class shares of a fund that does not currently offer Class R6 shares.

XIII. The second paragraph under the “Fund Details – Your Account – Account Policies - Dealer Compensation – Other dealer and financial intermediary compensation” section on page 57 is replaced with the following:

Except with respect to Class R6 shares, Distributors and/or its affiliates may also make payments (a portion of which may be reimbursable under the terms of the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plans) to certain financial intermediaries in connection with their activities that are intended to assist in the sale of shares of the Franklin Templeton mutual funds, directly or indirectly, to certain Employer Sponsored Retirement Plans. In the case of any one financial intermediary, such payments will not exceed 0.10% of the total assets of Franklin Templeton mutual funds held, directly or indirectly, by such Employer Sponsored Retirement Plans, on an annual basis.

Please keep this supplement for future reference.

(Templeton Global Investment Trust)

The prospectus is amended as follows:

I. The Fund will begin offering Class R6 shares on or about May 1, 2013. Therefore, on or about May 1, 2013, the Fund will offer five classes of shares, Class A, Class C, Class R, Class R6 and Advisor Class.

II. The “Fund Summary – Shareholder Fees” table, “Annual Fund Operating Expenses” table and “Example” table beginning on page 2 are replaced with the following:

SHAREHOLDER FEES (fees paid directly from your investment)
	Class A	Class C	Class R	Class R6¹	Advisor Class
Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases (as percentage of offering price)	5.75%	None	None	None	None
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) (as percentage of the lower of original purchase price or sale proceeds)	None	1.00%	None	None	None

1. The Fund began offering Class R6 shares on May 1, 2013.

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
	Class A	Class C	Class R	Class R6	Advisor Class
Management fees¹	1.45%	1.45%	1.45%	1.45%	1.45%
Distribution and service (12b-1) fees	0.30%	1.00%	0.50%	None	None
Other expenses^{1, 2}	0.45%	0.45%	0.45%	0.29%	0.45%
Total annual Fund operating expenses	2.20%	2.90%	2.40%	1.74%	1.90%
Fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement³	-0.05%	-0.05%	-0.05%	-0.05%	-0.05%
Total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement	2.15%	2.85%	2.35%	1.69%	1.85%

1. Management fees and other expenses have been restated to reflect current fiscal year fees and expenses as a result of the bundling of the Fund’s investment management agreement with its fund administration agreement effective May 1, 2013. Such combined investment management fees are described further under “Management” in the Fund’s prospectus. Total annual Fund operating expenses are not affected by such bundling.

2. Other expenses for Class R6 represent an estimate of expenses, including the effect of this Class' lower shareholder servicing fees.

3. Management has contractually agreed to waive or assume certain fees and expenses so that total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 fees and acquired fund fees and expenses) for each class of the Fund do not exceed (and could be less than) 1.85% (other than certain non-routine expenses), until April 30, 2014. Class R6 shares have not commenced operations as of the date of this prospectus. Management also has contractually agreed in advance to reduce its fees as a result of the Fund's investment in a Franklin Templeton money fund (acquired fund) for at least the next 12-month period. Contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement agreements may not be terminated during the terms set forth above.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of the period. 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 management for the 1 Year numbers only. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	$ 781	$ 1,220	$ 1,685	$ 2,964
Class C	$ 388	$ 894	$ 1,525	$ 3,223
Class R	$ 239	$ 745	$ 1,278	$ 2,736
Class R6	$ 172	$ 544	$ 940	$ 2,049
Advisor Class	$ 188	$ 593	$ 1,024	$ 2,222
If you do not sell your shares:
Class C	$ 288	$ 894	$ 1,525	$ 3,223

III. The “Fund Summary – Portfolio Turnover” section beginning on page 4 is replaced with the following:

IV. The “Fund Summary – Principal Risks – Market” section on page 5 is replaced with the following:

V. The following is added to the “Fund Summary – Performance” section beginning on page 7:

The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund's performance from year to year for Class A shares. The table shows how the Fund's average annual returns for 1 year, 5 years, 10 years or since inception, as applicable, compared with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. You can obtain updated performance information at franklintempleton.com or by calling (800) DIAL BEN/342-5236.

The secondary index in the table below shows how the Fund's performance compares to an additional group of equity securities of frontier market companies.

Sales charges are not reflected in the bar chart, and if those charges were included, returns would be less than those shown.

VII. The “Fund Summary – Taxes” section on page 10 is replaced with the following:

The Fund’s distributions are generally taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account, in which case your distributions would generally be taxed when withdrawn from the tax-deferred account.

VIII. The “Fund Details – Management” section beginning on page 22 is revised to add the following:

Effective May 1, 2013, the Fund’s investment management agreement was bundled with its fund administration agreement, including the fees of 0.20% payable thereunder. As of such date, the Fund’s investment management fee became:

1.45% of the value of net assets up to and including $1 billion;
1.40% of the value of net assets over $1 billion up to and including $5 billion;
1.35% of the value of net assets over $5 billion up to and including $10 billion;
1.30% of the value of net assets over $10 billion up to and including $15 billion;
1.25% of the value of net assets over $15 billion up to and including $20 billion; and
1.20% of the value of net assets over $20 billion.

Asset Management and other affiliated service providers for the Fund have agreed to waive fees or to assume as their own certain expenses otherwise payable by the Fund so that expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 fees and acquired fund fees and expenses) for each class of the Fund do not exceed (and could be less than) 1.85% (other than certain non-routine expenses or costs, including those relating to litigation, indemnification, reorganizations and liquidations) until April 30, 2014. Under this fee and expense waiver, common fees and expenses of the Fund (including management, administration and other fees) will be waived equally among all classes and, to the extent necessary, transfer agency fees will be waived equally among all classes, except with respect to Class R6, for which its class-specific transfer agency fees may be waived in a different amount.

XI. The first paragraph and the table of the “Fund Details – Your Account - Choosing a Share Class” section beginning on page 32 is replaced with the following:

Each class has its own sales charge and expense structure, allowing you to choose the class that best meets your situation. Your investment representative (financial advisor) can help you decide. Investors may purchase Class C or Class R shares only for Fund accounts on which they have appointed an investment representative (financial advisor) of record. Investors who have not appointed an investment representative (financial advisor) to existing Class C or Class R share Fund accounts may not make additional purchases to those accounts but may exchange their shares for shares of a Franklin Templeton fund that offers Class C or Class R shares. Dividend and capital gain distributions may continue to be reinvested in existing Class C or Class R share Fund accounts. These provisions do not apply to Employer Sponsored Retirement Plans.

Class A	Class C	Class R	Class R6	Advisor Class
Initial sales charge of 5.75% or less	No initial sales charge	No initial sales charge	See "Qualified Investors – Class R6" below	See "Qualified Investors – Advisor Class
Deferred sales charge of 1% on purchases of $1 million or more sold within 18 months	Deferred sales charge of 1% on shares you sell within 12 months	Deferred sales charge is not applicable
Lower annual expenses than Class C or R due to lower distribution fees	Higher annual expenses than Class A due to higher distribution fees	Higher annual expenses than Class A due to higher distribution fees (lower than Class C)

The Fund began offering Class R6 shares on May 1, 2013.

XII. The “Fund Details – Your Account – Choosing a Share Class – Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers – Sales charge waivers” section on page 36 is replaced with the following:

Sales Charge Waivers

Waivers for investments from certain payments. Class A shares may be purchased without an initial sales charge or CDSC by investors who reinvest within 90 days:

· Dividend and capital gain distributions from any Franklin Templeton fund. The distributions generally must be reinvested in the same share class. Certain exceptions apply, however, to Class R6, Advisor Class or Class Z shareholders of a Franklin Templeton fund who may reinvest their distributions in the Fund's Class A shares.

· Redemption proceeds from the sale of Class A shares of any of the Franklin Templeton Investment Funds if you are a qualified investor.

· If you paid a CDSC when you redeemed your Class A shares from a Franklin Templeton Investment Fund, a new CDSC will apply to your purchase of Fund shares and the CDSC holding period will begin again. We will, however, credit your Fund account with additional shares based on the CDSC you previously paid and the amount of the redemption proceeds that you reinvest.

· If you immediately placed your redemption proceeds in a Franklin Templeton money fund, you may reinvest them as described above. The proceeds must be reinvested within 90 days from the date they are redeemed from the money fund.

· Governments, municipalities, and tax-exempt entities that meet the requirements for qualification under section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code when purchasing direct from the Fund. Please consult your legal and investment advisors to determine if an investment in the Fund is permissible and suitable for you.

· Registered securities dealers and their affiliates, for their investment accounts only.

· Current employees of securities dealers and their affiliates and their family members, as allowed by the internal policies of their employer.

· Current and former officers, trustees, directors, full-time employees (and, in each case, their family members) of both Franklin Templeton Investments and Franklin Templeton funds, consistent with our then-current policies.

· Current partners of law firms that currently provide legal counsel to the funds, Franklin Resources, Inc. or its affiliates.

· Assets held in accounts managed by a subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc.: (1) under an advisory agreement (including sub-advisory agreements); and/or (2) as trustee of an inter vivos or testamentary trust.

· Certain unit investment trusts and their holders reinvesting distributions from the trusts.

· Any trust or plan established as part of a qualified tuition program under Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

· Group annuity separate accounts offered to retirement plans.

· Chilean retirement plans that meet the requirements described under "Retirement plans" below.

· Assets held in accounts managed by a state or federally regulated trust company or bank (Trust Company) either as discretionary trustee of an inter vivos or testamentary trust or as investment manager under an advisory agreement (including sub-advisory) or other agreement that grants the Trust Company investment discretion over those assets (Trust Company Managed Assets) if (i) the aggregate value of Trust Company Managed Assets invested in Franklin Templeton funds at the time of purchase equals at least $1 million; and (ii) the purchased shares are registered directly to the Trust Company in its corporate capacity (not as trustee of an individual trust) and held solely as Trust Company Managed Assets.

· Advisory Fee Programs. Shares acquired by an investor in connection with a comprehensive fee or other advisory fee arrangement between the investor and a registered broker-dealer or investment advisor, trust company or bank (referred to as the “Sponsor”) in which the investor pays that Sponsor a fee for investment advisory services and the Sponsor or a broker-dealer through whom the shares are acquired has an agreement with Distributors authorizing the sale of Fund shares. No minimum initial investment.

Retirement plans. Provided that Franklin Templeton Investor Services, LLC is notified, Class A shares at NAV are available for:

· Employer Sponsored Retirement Plans (Plan) that invest indirectly in Fund shares through Fund omnibus accounts registered to a financial intermediary; or

· An Employer Sponsored Retirement Plan if the employer sponsors one or more Plans with aggregate Plan assets of $1 million or more; or

· Investors who open an IRA with proceeds rolled over directly from an Employer Sponsored Retirement Plan if the IRA is a "Common Platform IRA." An IRA is a Common Platform IRA if (i) the IRA custodian or recordkeeper, or one of its affiliates, is the recordkeeper for the Plan at the time the IRA is opened; and (ii) Fund shares transferred in-kind to a “Common Platform IRA” opened by a direct rollover to that IRA from an Employer Sponsored Retirement Plan; or

· The portion of any direct rollover from a participant’s Employer Sponsored Retirement Plan account or direct transfer from a 403(b) plan account to a Franklin Templeton IRA with Franklin Templeton Bank & Trust (FTB&T) as the custodian that is funded by the sale immediately prior to the rollover/transfer of Franklin Templeton fund shares held in the Plan account, provided that documentation accompanies the rollover/transfer instruction that reasonably supports this funding source requirement; or

· Investors who open an IRA as a spousal rollover or a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) if opened with proceeds from a "Former DCS Plan" and/or a plan for which FTB&T is trustee; or

· Investors who open a Franklin Templeton IRA prior to November 1, 2012 with proceeds rolled over directly from a "Former DCS Plan."

A "Former DCS Plan" is an Employer Sponsored Retirement Plan that transferred participant level recordkeeping from the DCS Division of Franklin Templeton Investor Services, LLC to Great-West Retirement Services® (GWRS) on November 2, 2007 and is a recordkeeping client of GWRS at the time of the rollover.

1. The Fund began offer new Class A shares on September 27, 2011. Total annual Fund operating expenses are annualized.

2. The Fund began offer new Class C shares on July 1, 2011. Total annual Fund operating expenses are annualized.

3. Management fees and other expenses have been restated to reflect current fiscal year fees and expense as a result of the bundling of the Fund's investment management agreement with its fund administration agreement effective May 1, 2013. Such combined investment management fees are described further under "Management" in the Fund's prospectus. Total annual fund operating expenses are not affected by such bundling.

4. Other expenses for Class R6 represent an estimate of expenses, including the effect of this Class' lower shareholder servicing fees.

5. Management has contractually agreed to waive or assume certain expenses so that total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 fees and acquired fund fees and expenses) for each class of the Fund do not exceed (and could be less than) 0.95% (other than certain non-routine expenses), until July 31, 2013. Contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement agreements may not be terminated during the terms set forth above.

III. The “Fund Summary – Performance” section beginning on page 8 is replaced with the following:

The Fund's secondary index, Barclays Multiverse Index, shows in the table below how the Fund's performance compares to a group of securities that aligns with the fixed income portion of the Fund's portfolio. The investment manager compares the Fund's performance to an equally weighted combination of the Barclays Multiverse Index and the MSCI All Country World Index.

Sales charges are not reflected in the bar chart, and if those charges were included, returns would be less than those shown.

CLASS A ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS¹

Best Quarter:	Q3'09	13.84%
Worst Quarter:	Q3'11	-15.35%
As of March 31, 2013, the Fund's year-to-date return was 4.30%.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
(figures reflect sales charges)

For the periods ended December 31, 2012

	1 Year	5 Years	Since Inception 7/1/2005
Templeton Global Balanced Fund - Class A
Return Before Taxes	11.43%	2.59%	6.19%
Return After Taxes on Distributions	10.08%	0.87%	4.45%
Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares	7.93%	1.17%	4.28%
Templeton Global Balanced Fund - Class A1	13.08%	2.89%	6.39%
Templeton Global Balanced Fund - Class C	16.27%	2.57%	5.65%
Templeton Global Balanced Fund - Class C1	16.98%	3.40%	6.61%
Templeton Global Balanced Fund - Class R	18.08%	3.56%	6.78%
Templeton Global Balanced Fund - Advisor Class	18.67%	4.07%	7.30%
MSCI All Country World Index (index reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes)	16.80%	-0.61%	3.64%
Barclays Multiverse Index (index reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes)	4.84%	5.60%	5.67%

1. The performance of Class A shares shown in the bar chart above is based upon the performance of Class A1 shares (formerly, Class A shares), which are no longer available to new investors. However, because the expenses, other than sales charges, for Class A and Class A1 shares are the same, the returns for Class A shares would have been the same as those for Class A1 sshares.

Performance for Class A shares prior to September 27, 2011, is based on the performance of Class A1 shares.

Prior to July 1, 2011, performance for Class C shares is based on the performance of Class C1 shares. Effective July 1, 2011, Class C performance was adjusted to reflect differences in sales charges and 12b-1 expenses between classes.

IV. The “Fund Details – Management” section beginning on page 27 is revised to add the following:

Effective May 1, 2013, the Fund’s investment management agreement was bundled with its fund administration agreement including the fees of 0.20% payable thereunder, as approved by the board of trustees. As of such date, the Fund’s investment management fees became:

0.825% of the value of net assets up to and including $500 million;
0.725% of the value of net assets over $500 million up to and including $1 billion;
0.675% of the value of net assets over $1 billion up to and including $1.5 billion;
0.625% of the value of net assets over $1.5 billion up to and including $6.5 billion;
0.600% of the value of net assets over $6.5 billion up to and including $11.5 billion;
0.5775% of the value of net assets over $11.5 billion up to and including $16.5 billion;
0.565% of the value of net assets over $16.5 billion up to and including $19 billion;
0.555% of the value of net assets over $19 billion up to and including $21.5 billion; and
0.545% of the value of net assets over $21.5 billion.

Global Advisors and other affiliated service providers for the Fund have agreed to waive fees or to assume as their own certain expenses otherwise payable by the Fund so that the total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 fees and acquired fund fees and expenses) for each class of the Fund do not exceed (and could be less than) 0.95% (other than certain non-routine expenses or costs, including those relating to litigation, indemnification, reorganizations and liquidations), until July 31, 2013. Under this fee and expense waiver, common fees and expenses of the Fund (including management, administration and other fees) will be waived equally among all classes, except with respect to Class R6, for which its class-specific transfer agency fees may be waived in a different amount.

The Fund pays Global Advisors a fee for managing the Fund's assets. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, Global Advisors agreed to reduce its fees to reflect reduced services resulting from the Fund's investment in a Franklin Templeton money fund. However, this fee reduction was less than 0.01% of the Fund's average net assets. In addition, Global Advisors has agreed to waive or limit its fees and to assume as its own certain expenses otherwise payable by the Fund so that common expenses (i.e., a combination of investment management fees, administration fees, and other expenses, but excluding the Rule 12b-1 fees and acquired fund fees and expenses) for each class of the Fund do not exceed 0.95% (other than certain non-routine expenses or costs, including those relating to litigation, indemnification, reorganizations and liquidations) until July 31, 2013. The management fees before and after such waiver for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, were 0.56%.

V. The “Fund Details - Financial Highlights” tables beginning on page 33 are updated to include figures for the six months ended September 20, 2012:

VI. The first paragraph and table of the “Fund Details – Your Account - Choosing a Share Class” section on page 39 is replaced with the following:

Each class has its own sales charge and expense structure, allowing you to choose the class that best meets your situation. Your investment representative can help you decide. Investors may purchase Class C, Class C1 or Class R shares only for Fund accounts on which they have appointed an investment representative (financial advisor) of record. Investors who have not appointed an investment representative (financial advisor) to existing Class C, Class C1 or Class R share Fund accounts, may not make additional purchases to those accounts but may exchange their shares to a Franklin Templeton fund that offers Class C, Class C1 or Class R shares. Dividend and capital gain distributions may continue to be reinvested in existing Class C, Class C1 or Class R share Fund accounts. These provisions do not apply to Employer Sponsored Retirement Plans.

Class A¹	Class C²	Class R	Class R6	Advisor Class
Initial sales charge of 5.75% or less for Class A; 4.25% or less for Class A1	No initial sales charge for Class C or C1	No initial sales charge	See "Qualified Investors –Class R6" below	See "Qualified Investors – Advisor Class” below
Deferred sales charge of 1% for Class A and 0.75% for Class A1 on purchases of $1 million or more sold within 18 months	Deferred sales charge of 1% on shares you sell within 12 months	Deferred sales charge is not applicable
Lower annual expenses than Class C, C1 or R due to lower distribution fees	Higher annual expenses than Class A or A1 due to higher distribution fees	Higher annual expenses than Class A or A1 due to higher distribution fees (lower than Class C or C1)

1. The Fund began offering new Class A shares on September 27, 2011. Class A shares offered prior to September 27, 2011, are known as Class A1 shares and are no longer offered to new investors.

2. The Fund began offering new Class C shares on July 1, 2011. Class C shares offered prior to July 1, 2011, are known as Class C1 shares and are no longer being offered to new investors. For investors in Class C1 shares, deferred sales charges on shares sold within 12 months is 1% and Rule 12b-1 fees are 0.65%. Investors in Class C1 may continue to make additional purchases, including dividend reinvestments.

The Fund began offering Class R6 shares on May 1, 2013.

VII. The “Fund Details – Your Account - Choosing a Share Class – Sales charge waivers” section on page 43 is replaced with the following:

Sales Charge Waivers

Class A or A1 shares may be purchased without an initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) by certain investors or for certain payments. If you would like information about available sales charge waivers, call your investment representative or call Shareholder Services at (800) 632-2301.

Waivers for investments from certain payments. Class A shares may be purchased without an initial sales charge or CDSC by investors who reinvest within 90 days:

Dividend and capital gain distributions from any Franklin Templeton fund. The distributions generally must be reinvested in the same share class. Certain exceptions apply, however, to Class C shareholders who chose to reinvest their distributions in Class A shares of the Fund before November 17, 1997, and to Class R6, Advisor Class or Class Z shareholders of a Franklin Templeton fund who may reinvest their distributions in the Fund's Class A shares.
Annuity payments received under either an annuity option or from death benefit proceeds, if the annuity contract offers as an investment option the Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust. You should contact your tax advisor for information on any tax consequences that may apply.
Redemption proceeds from the sale of Class A shares of any of the Franklin Templeton Investment Funds if you are a qualified investor.

Item 29. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with Registrant

None

Item 30. Indemnification

The Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the "Declaration") provides that any person who is or was a Trustee, officer, employee or other agent, including the underwriter, of such Trust shall be liable to the Trust and its shareholders only for (1) any act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or (2) the person's own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person (such conduct referred to herein as Disqualifying Conduct) and for nothing else. Except in these instances and to the fullest extent that limitations of liability of agents are permitted by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (the "Delaware Act"), these Agents (as defined in the Declaration) shall not be responsible or liable for any act or omission of any other Agent of the Trust or any investment adviser or principal underwriter. Moreover, except and to the extent provided in these instances, none of these Agents, when acting in their respective capacity as such, shall be personally liable to any other person, other than such Trust or its shareholders, for any act, omission or obligation of the Trust or any trustee thereof.

The Trust shall indemnify, out of its property, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any of the persons who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (as defined in the Declaration) because the person is or was an Agent of such Trust. These persons shall be indemnified against any Expenses (as defined in the Declaration), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the Proceeding if the person acted in good faith or, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not in itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful. There shall nonetheless be no indemnification for a person's own Disqualifying Conduct.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to Trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Trust pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Trust has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Trust of expenses incurred or paid by a Trustee, officer or controlling person of the Trust in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such Trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with securities being registered, the Trust may be required, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, to submit to a court or appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
