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. 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
If you sell your shares at the end of the period:
Class A	$ 492	$ 636	$ 793	$ 1,247
Class C	$ 226	$ 393	$ 681	$ 1,500
Advisor Class	$ 60	$ 189	$ 329	$ 738
If you do not sell your shares:
Class C	$ 126	$ 393	$ 681	$ 1,500

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover 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 19% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in securities whose interest is free from federal income taxes, including the federal alternative minimum tax. In addition, the Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in securities whose interest is free from state personal income taxes. Although the Fund tries to invest all of its assets in tax-free securities, it is possible that up to 20% of the Fund's net assets may be in securities that pay interest that may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and, although not anticipated, in securities that pay taxable interest. The Fund is a non-diversified fund, which means it generally invests a greater portion of its assets in the securities of one or more issuers and invests overall in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund focuses on the municipal securities of U.S. territories and currently primarily invests in Puerto Rican municipal securities.

The Fund only buys municipal securities rated at the time of purchase in the top four ratings by one or more U.S. nationally recognized rating services (or comparable unrated securities).

Although the manager will search for investments across a large number of municipal securities that finance difference types of projects, from time to time, based on economic conditions, the Fund may have significant positions in municipal securities that finance similar types of projects.

The manager selects securities that it believes will provide the best balance between risk and return within the Fund’s range of allowable investments and typically uses a buy and hold strategy. This means it generally holds securities in the Fund’s portfolio for income purposes, rather than trading securities for capital gains, although the manager may sell a security at any time if it believes it could help the Fund meet its goal.

Principal Risks

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.

Interest Rate When interest rates rise, debt security prices generally fall. The opposite is also true: debt security prices generally rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities are more sensitive to these interest rate changes.

Credit An issuer of debt securities may be unable to make interest payments and repay principal when due. Changes in an issuer's financial strength or in a security's credit rating may affect a security's value.

A change in the credit rating of any one or more of the municipal bond insurers that insure securities in the Fund’s portfolio may affect the value of the securities they insure, the Fund’s share price and Fund performance. The Fund might also be adversely impacted by the inability of an insurer to meet its insurance obligations.

Puerto Rico and U.S. Territories Because the Fund focuses on the municipal securities of U.S. territories, and currently invests primarily in Puerto Rican municipal securities, events in Puerto Rico are likely to affect the Fund's investments and its performance. These events may include economic or political policy changes, tax base erosion, territory constitutional limits on tax increases, budget deficits and other financial difficulties, and changes in the credit ratings assigned to Puerto Rico's municipal issuers. As with Puerto Rican municipal securities, events in any of the other territories where the Fund is invested may affect the Fund's investments and its performance.

Sectors To the extent that the Fund focuses on particular sectors of the market from time to time, the Fund may carry greater risks of adverse developments in such sectors than a fund that invests in a wider variety of sectors.

Tax-Exempt Securities While the Fund endeavors to purchase only bona fide tax-exempt securities, there are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified as taxable by the Internal Revenue Service, or a state tax authority, and/or (b) future legislative, administrative or court actions could adversely impact the qualification of income from a tax-exempt security as tax-free. Such reclassifications or actions could cause interest from a security to become taxable, possible retroactively, subjecting you to increased tax liability.

Income Because the Fund can only distribute what it earns, the Fund's distributions to shareholders may decline when interest rates fall.

Prepayment Some debt securities may be prepaid, in whole or in part, before maturity. Any principal prepaid may have to be reinvested by the Fund in a lower yielding debt security.

Non-Diversification Because the Fund is non-diversified, it may be more sensitive to economic, business, political or other changes affecting similar issuers or investments, which may result in greater fluctuation in the value of the Fund’s shares.

Management The Fund 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.

Market The market price of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, as a result of market activity or the results of supply and demand.

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.

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

Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns for other classes will vary.
