The Fund began offering Class T shares on [April 3], 2017.  Other expenses are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.
2.
Management 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 the next 12-month period. Contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement agreements may not be changed or terminated during the time periods set forth above.
3.
Total annual Fund operating expenses differ from the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights, which reflect operating expenses of the Fund and do not include acquired fund fees and expenses.
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 waivers and/or expense reimbursements 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:

Historical performance for Class T shares prior to their inception is based on the performance of Class A shares.  Class T shares performance has been adjusted to reflect differences in sales charges between classes.
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.
IV. In the Fund Summary, the paragraph under "Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares" on page 9 of the prospectus is replaced with the following:
You may purchase or redeem shares of the Fund on any business day online through our website at franklintempleton.com, by mail (Franklin Templeton Investor Services, P.O. Box 33030, St. Petersburg, FL 33733-8030), or by telephone at (800) 632-2301. For Class A, T, C and R, the minimum initial purchase for most accounts is $1,000 (or $50 under an automatic investment plan). Advisor Class is only available to certain qualified investors and the minimum initial investment will vary depending on the type of qualified investor, as described under "Your Account — Choosing a Share Class — Qualified Investors — Advisor Class" in the Fund's prospectus. There is no minimum investment for subsequent purchases.
V. The "Fund Details – Financial Highlights" section of the prospectus beginning on page 22 is replaced with the following to include figures for the six months ended September 30, 2016:
Financial Highlights
The Financial Highlights present the Fund's financial performance for the past five years or since its inception. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns represent the rate that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the Fund assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. This information (except the information for the six-months ended September 30, 2016) has been audited by [_____________],an independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the Fund's financial statements, are included in the annual report, which is available upon request.  The information for the six-months ended September 30, 2016 is unaudited.

VII. The "Fund Details – Your Account – Choosing a Share Class – Class A, C & R" section heading on page 28 is replaced with the following:
Class A, T, C & R
The availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts may depend on whether you purchase your shares directly from the Fund or through a financial intermediary.  Different intermediaries may impose different sales charges (including potential reductions in or waivers of sales charges) other than those listed below.  Such intermediary-specific sales charge variations are described in Appendix A to this prospectus, entitled "Intermediary Sales Charge Discounts and Waivers."  Appendix A is incorporated herein by reference (is legally a part of this prospectus).
In all instances, it is the purchaser's responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser's financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or discounts. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders will have to purchase Fund shares directly from the Fund or through another intermediary to receive these waivers or discounts.
VIII.               The following is added to the "Fund Details – Your Account - Choosing a Share Class" section beginning on page 28:
Sales Charges - Class T  
when you invest this amount 
the sales charge makes up this % of the offering price1 
which equals this % of your net investment1 
Under $250,000 
2.50
2.56
$250,000 but under $500,000

2.04
$500,000 but under $1 million 
1.50 
1.52
$1 million or more 
1.00 
1.01
1. 
The dollar amount of the sales charge is the difference between the offering price of the shares purchased (which factors in the applicable sales charge in this table) and the net asset value of those shares. Since the offering price is calculated to two decimal places using standard rounding criteria, the number of shares purchased and the dollar amount of the sales charge as a percentage of the offering price and of your net investment may be higher or lower depending on whether there was a downward or upward rounding.
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Class T has a distribution plan, sometimes known as a Rule 12b-1 plan, which allows the Fund to pay distribution fees of up to 0.25% per year to those who sell and distribute Class T shares and provide other services to shareholders. Because these fees are paid out of Class T's assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
We calculate the amount of these fees over a 12-month period that may differ from the Fund's fiscal year. Therefore, the amount shown from time to time in the Fund's fee table (which is based upon the Fund's fiscal year) may differ from the amount set forth in the Rule 12b-1 plan due to timing differences.
8


IX. The first sentence of the first paragraph of the "Fund Details – Your Account – Choosing a Share Class – Reinstatement Privilege" section on page 34 is replaced with the following:
If you sell any class of shares of a Franklin Templeton Investments fund (except Class T), you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from that sale within 90 days within the same share class without an initial sales charge.
X. The "Fund Details – Your Account – Buying Shares – Minimum Investments – Class A, C & R" section heading on page 37 is replaced with "Minimum Investments – Class A, T, C & R."
XI.              The first heading and paragraph of the "Fund Details – Your Account – Exchanging Shares – Exchange Privilege" section on page 43 is replaced with the following:
Class A, T, C & R
You can exchange shares between most Franklin Templeton funds within the same class,* generally without paying any additional sales charges. If you exchange shares from a money fund and those shares were not charged a sales charge previously, however, a sales charge may apply.  Further, any exchange between Franklin Templeton funds within Class T are subject to the Class T sales charges described under "Your Account — Choosing a Share Class — Class A, T, C & R — Sales Charges - Class T."
XII.              The "Fund Details – Your Account – Account Policies – Calculating Share Price – Class A & C" section heading on page 49 is replaced with "Class A, T & C."
XIII.             The "Fund Details – Your Account – Account Policies – Dealer Compensation – Class A, C & R" section heading on page 55 is replaced with "Class A, T, C & R" and the table on page 56 is replaced with the following:

XV.           The following is included as Appendix A to the prospectus:
APPENDIX A
INTERMEDIARY SALES CHARGE DISCOUNTS AND WAIVERS
Specific intermediaries may have different policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or CDSC waivers, which are discussed below. In all instances, it is the purchaser's responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser's financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or discounts. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders will have to purchase Fund shares directly from the Fund or through another intermediary to receive such waivers or discounts.  Please see the section entitled "Fund Details – Your Account – Choosing a Share Class – Class A, T, C & R" for more information on sales charges and waivers available for different classes.
The information in this Appendix is part of, and incorporated into, the Fund's prospectus.

· Shares purchased through a Merrill Lynch affiliated investment advisory program.
· Shares purchased by third party investment advisors on behalf of their advisory clients through Merrill Lynch's platform.

Item 29Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with Registrant

None

Item 30Indemnification

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.
