Important Legal Information
Performance data represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Current performance may differ from figures shown. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate with market conditions, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your units.
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. For fixed income funds, bond prices, and thus an ETF’s unit price, generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Special risks are associated with foreign investing, including currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments; investments in emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors. To the extent the ETF focuses on particular countries, regions, industries, sectors or types of investment from time to time, it may be subject to greater risks of adverse developments in such areas of focus than an ETF that invests in a wider variety of countries, regions, industries, sectors or investments. Performance of the ETFs may vary significantly from the performance of an index, as a result of transactions costs, expenses and other factors. These and other risks are discussed in the ETF’s prospectus.
Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees, brokerage fees and expenses may be associated with investments in mutual funds and ETFs. Please read the prospectus and fund fact/ETF facts document before investing. ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETF’s net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns. Performance of an ETF may vary significantly from the performance of an index, as a result of transaction costs, expenses, and other factors. Indicated rates of return are historical annual compounded total returns for the period indicated, including changes in unit value and reinvestment distributions, and do not take into account any charges or income taxes payable by any security holder that would have reduced returns. Mutual funds and ETFs are not guaranteed. Their values change frequently. Past performance may not be repeated.
ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below their net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.
For more information on any of our funds, contact your financial advisor or download a free prospectus. Investors should carefully consider a fund's investment goals, risks, sales charges and expenses before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing or sending money.

ETF units may be bought or sold throughout the day at their market price on the exchange on which they are listed. However, there can be no guarantee that an active trading market for ETF units will develop or be maintained, or that their listing will continue or remain unchanged. While the units of ETFs are tradable on secondary markets, they may not readily trade in all market conditions and may trade at significant discounts in periods of market stress.
The trading prices of the ETF’s units in the secondary market generally differ from the ETF’s daily NAV and are affected by market forces such as supply and demand, economic conditions and other factors. Information regarding the intraday value of units of the ETF, also known as the “indicative optimized portfolio value” (“IOPV”), is disseminated every 15 seconds throughout the trading day by the national securities exchange on which the ETF’s units are listed or by market data vendors or other information providers. Therefore, the IOPV should not be viewed as a “real-time” update of the ETF’s NAV, which is computed only once a day.
Prior to trading in the secondary market, units of the ETF are “created” at NAV by market makers, large investors and institutions only in block-size Creation Units of 100,000 units or multiples thereof. Each “Authorized Participant” enters into an authorized participant agreement with Franklin Templeton Distributors, Inc, an affiliate of Franklin Advisers, Inc. Only an Authorized Participant may create or redeem Creation Units directly with the ETF.
Net Asset Value is the market value of one unit of the ETF. This amount is derived by dividing the total value of all the securities in the ETF’s portfolio, less any liabilities, by the number of ETF units outstanding.
The NAV used in the Total Return calculation assumes all management fees and operating expenses incurred by the ETF. Market Price returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread (last trade) at 4:00pm EST and do not reflect the returns you would receive if you traded units at other times. The first trading date is typically several days after the ETF inception date, therefore Market Price returns are measured as of this date.

Indexes are unmanaged, and one cannot invest directly in an index. They do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges.
Investors can obtain any fund document by contacting a financial advisor or downloading it from the list of fund documents above.

U.S. securities laws generally limit a non-U.S. fund's purchase of a U.S. registered mutual fund or ETF (a “U.S. Fund”) to no more than 3% of the U.S. Fund's voting securities. There are exceptions to those laws that apply to fund-on-fund structures such as the investment by Franklin FTSE Japan Index ETF in Franklin FTSE Japan ETF. A non-U.S. fund should consult with its advisor(s) prior to investing, directly or indirectly, in a U.S. Fund.
Footnotes
The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or “star rating”, is calculated for managed products with at least a three-year history, and subject to change monthly. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total return, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total return. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Ratings do not take into account the effects of sales charges and loads. Morningstar Rating is for the specified share class(es) only; other classes may have different performance characteristics.
Franklin Templeton Investments Corp., the investment fund manager of the Franklin Global Core Bond Fund (the “Fund”), has received exemptive relief to permit the ETF Series of the Fund to use the start date, past performance, information derived from the financial statements and other financial information of the Franklin Global Aggregate Bond Active ETF (CAD-Hedged), which was merged into the Fund, in the Fund’s sales communications, reports to securityholders, simplified prospectus, ETF facts, annual and interim financial statements and annual and interim management reports of fund performance, as applicable.
The distribution yield is the indicated yield, which estimates the annual distribution yield based on its most recent distribution. It is calculated by multiplying the last distributions by the number of expected distributions per year divided by the fund's net asset value (NAV) at the end of the month.
Inclusive of trust and corporate class versions where applicable.
Yield figures quoted should not be used as an indication of the income that has or will be received. Yield figures are based on the portfolio's underlying holdings and do not represent a payout of the portfolio.
Average Duration - Also known as 'effective' or 'McCauley' duration it is a measure of the sensitivity of the price (the value of principal) of a fixed-income investment to a change in interest rates. Duration is expressed as a number of years. It's an indication of an issue's coupon relative to its maturity. Rising interest rates mean falling bond prices; declining interest rates mean rising bond prices. The bigger the duration number, the greater the interest-rate risk; (or reward for bond prices). The weighted average duration of a fund reflects the effective duration of the underlying issues, based on the size of each holding. This value differs with 'Modified Duration' which is modified for the market (dirty) price of an issue.
