Overview
- Fund description
- Reasons to invest
Fund description
Invests primarily in global small-cap stocks that Royce believes are “premier” small-cap companies, those with discernible competitive advantages, high returns on invested capital, and a sustainable franchise. Global small cap companies are those similar in size to companies in the MSCI All Country World (ACWI) Small Cap Index.
![[products.risk-factor-alt-arrow]](assets/icons/ft-risk-factor-icon-arrow.svg){kind=icon}
Reasons to invest
- Small Cap Opportunities: Focuses on leading quality companies, those with low debt, the ability to generate excess cash flow, and attractive prospects that are selling at prices Royce believes do not fully reflect these attributes.
- Low Research Coverage: Many global small cap stocks have little or no analytical coverage from brokerage firms, potentially increasing the opportunity to find high quality companies selling at valuations that Royce believes understates their true worth.

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.
Effective August 9, 2021, Royce & Associates, LP (operating as Royce Investment Partners) (“Royce”) replaced Templeton Investment Counsel, LLC as the sub-advisor to Franklin Royce Global Small Cap Premier Fund (formerly Templeton Global Smaller Companies Fund). Royce is an affiliate of the Manager.
Effective August 9, 2021, Templeton Global Smaller Companies Fund has been renamed Franklin Royce Global Small Cap Premier Fund. The investment objective of the fund remains the same. Certain investment strategies have changed. Please refer to Amendment No.1 to the Simplified Prospectus for the fund, dated June 24, 2021, for further details.
Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus or fund facts document before investing. The indicated rates of return are the historical annual compounded total returns including changes in unit value and reinvestment of all distributions and do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced returns. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.
Mutual fund securities are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government deposit insurer. There can be no assurances that the fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in the fund will be returned to you.
Distributions are not guaranteed and the proportion of income and return of capital will fluctuate depending on fund returns. Unlike fixed-income securities, there is no obligation to distribute any fixed amount, and reductions in, or suspensions of, distributions may occur that would reduce yield. Distributions are not an indication of performance, rate of return, or yield. Mutual fund distributions are not guaranteed and are set and may change at the discretion of Franklin Templeton Investments Canada.
Series F is available to investors participating in programs that do not require Franklin Templeton to incur distribution costs in the form of trailing commissions to dealers. As a consequence, the management fee on Series F is lower than on Series A. The gross of fees version of Series F does not exist and as a result, investors cannot purchase Series F securities on a gross of fees basis. Performance would have been lower with fees taken into account.
Series O investors do not pay any of the management fees within the fund but instead pay a separate management and administration fee that they negotiate directly with Franklin Templeton Canada. To qualify to purchase or hold Series O units an investor must meet minimum investment requirements as set out in the fund's current prospectus. For more details on the management and administration fee, please read the prospectus. Performance is presented in Canadian dollars and is gross of fees (before management and custodial fees) of Series O units of the Fund. Taking into account such fees would result in lower rates of return.
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.
