Economic and Market Overview

The global economic recovery was mixed during the period under review. The recovery in emerging markets moderated after many economies had previously returned to and exceeded pre-crisis activity levels. Although some developed economies, such as those of Australia and some Scandinavian countries, also have enjoyed relatively strong recoveries in the aftermath of the global financial crisis, the G-3 (U.S., eurozone and Japan) continued to experience growth that was slow by the standards of previous recoveries. As fears eased surrounding the issues of European sovereign debt, the possibility of another U.S. recession, and a potential “hard landing” in China, financial market performance was positive. Improving sentiment, relatively strong fundamentals, and continued provision of global liquidity supported assets with inherent risk (risk assets) as equity markets performed well until May 2013. Policymakers in the largest developed economies continued to increase their already unprecedented efforts to supply liquidity. Actions elsewhere in the world were mixed, with some pol-icymakers less willing to reverse previous tightening efforts in response to the external environment.

Fears of possible reductions to stimulative government policies contributed to periods of risk aversion, when credit spreads widened and equities and other assets perceived as risky declined, alternating with periods of heightened risk appetite, when spreads narrowed and investors again favored risk assets. Against this backdrop, increased liquidity creation continued. For example, the Bank of Japan raised its inflation target and the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed) extended quantitative easing. Economic data among the largest economies remained inconsistent with some observers’ predictions of a severe global economic slowdown.

In May 2013, the Fed announced that it might reduce the size of its quantitative easing program at subsequent meetings. The announcement led risk assets, particularly those in emerging markets, to sell off as market participants’ expectations of global liquidity conditions began to change. The Fed surprised markets in September when it decided not to reduce the size of its monthly bond purchases. This initially led risk assets to rally and many emerging market currencies subsequently appreciated against the U.S. dollar as global liquidity conditions continued to loosen. Market volatility was again elevated late in the period as the U.S. federal government shut down and the U.S. Treasury approached its debt ceiling. As the government shutdown ended and the debt ceiling was raised near period-end, market volatility quickly subsided.

Investment Strategy

In making investments in foreign hard currencies, we focus on countries and markets that historically have experienced low inflation rates and, in our

opinion, follow economic policies favorable to continued low inflation rates and currency appreciation against the U.S. dollar over the long term. We may invest substantially in a combination of U.S. dollar-denominated securities and currency forward contracts or currency futures contracts.

Manager’s Discussion

The U.S. dollar appreciated against most major currencies during the period as continued investor concern over economic uncertainty led to investor appetite for safety. Nonetheless, the Fund remained positioned for a potential reversal of this trend, as we maintained large allocations to currencies such as the Singapore dollar, South Korean won, Canadian dollar and Swedish krona.

Europe

The euro appreciated 4.92% against the U.S. dollar during the period, and the Fund’s lack of exposure to the monetary union’s currency detracted from performance relative to the benchmark JPM 3 Month Global Cash Index.³The Fund’s exposure to other European currencies was largely neutral for relative performance. The Swedish krona appreciated 2.54% against the U.S. dollar during the period, while the Polish zloty rose 3.83%.³

Asia Pacific

The Fund’s exposure to Asian currencies other than the Japanese yen contributed to performance relative to the benchmark. Asia continued to lead the global economic recovery, as growth in China remained robust and supported regional economies through demand for imports and through foreign investment. Although Chinese demand for Australia’s exports provided a supportive backdrop for the currency, the Australian dollar depreciated 8.68% against the U.S. dollar in the face of 75 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal one percentage point) of rate reductions by the Reserve Bank of Australia.³Australia had previously been one of the first developed economies in the world to raise interest rates. The South Korean won appreciated 2.81% against the U.S. dollar during the period, while the Singapore dollar depreciated 1.64% and the Malaysian ringgit fell 3.47%.³The Japanese yen depreciated 18.53% against the U.S. dollar during the period as policymakers in Japan initiated a massive easing program.³Consequently, the Fund’s lack of yen exposure contributed to relative performance.

Americas

Currency positions in the Americas were largely neutral with respect to absolute and relative performance. When commodity prices were high, they benefited several Latin American currencies during periods of global risk aversion. The Mexican peso appreciated 0.69% against the U.S. dollar during the period, while the Chilean peso depreciated 5.93%.³Chile’s central bank cut rates 25 bps, and the Bank of Mexico instituted 100 bps of cuts. Mexico continued to

benefit from strong manufacturing exports arising in part from rebounding U.S. economic activity. The Canadian dollar depreciated 4.16% against the U.S. dollar during the period.³

Thank you for your continued participation in Franklin Templeton Hard Currency Fund. We look forward to serving your future investment needs.

The foregoing information reflects our analysis, opinions and portfolio holdings as of October 31, 2013, the end of the reporting period. The way we implement our main investment strategies and the resulting portfolio holdings may change depending on factors such as market and economic conditions. These opinions may not be relied upon as investment advice or an offer for a particular security. The information is not a complete analysis of every aspect of any market, country, industry, security or the Fund. Statements of fact are from sources considered reliable, but the investment manager makes no representation or warranty as to their completeness or accuracy. Although historical performance is no guarantee of future results, these insights may help you understand our investment management philosophy.

Please note that although the Fund’s Statement of Investments on page 14 of this report indicates the Fund held 44.1% of its total investments in U.S. dollar-denominated assets as of 10/31/13, its net exposure to the U.S. dollar as of that date was -6.1%. The difference is explained by the Fund’s holdings of currency forward contracts (please see Statement of Investments on pages 14 and 15 of this report) calling for the purchase of various foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars at various future dates. The combination of U.S. dollar-denominated instruments with “long” currency forward contracts creates a position economically equivalent to a money market instrument denominated in the foreign currency itself. Such combined positions are an appropriate strategy when the money market for a particular foreign currency is small or relatively illiquid.

Performance Summary as of 10/31/13

Your dividend income will vary depending on dividends or interest paid by securities in the Fund’s portfolio, adjusted for operating expenses of each class. Capital gain distributions are net profits realized from the sale of portfolio securities. The performance table and graphs do not reflect any taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends, capital gain distributions, if any, or any realized gains on the sale of Fund shares. Total return reflects reinvestment of the Fund’s dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and any unrealized gains or losses.

Performance²

Cumulative total return excludes sales charges. Average annual total returns and value of $10,000 investment include maximum sales charges. Class A: 2.25% maximum initial sales charge; Advisor Class: no sales charges.

Performance data represent past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. Current performance may differ from figures shown. For most recent month-end performance, go to franklintempleton.com or call (800) 342-5236.

Performance Summary (continued)

Endnotes

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Special risks are associated with foreign investing, including economic instability and political developments. The Fund’s assets are largely invested in foreign currencies, and therefore involve the potential for significant gain or loss from currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Fund does not seek to maintain a stable net asset value and should not be considered a substitute for a U.S. dollar money market fund. The Fund is also nondiversified, which involves the risk of greater price fluctuation than a more diversified portfolio. Changes in the financial strength of a debt security issuer or in a debt security’s credit rating may affect its value. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Advisor Class: Shares are available to certain eligible investors as described in the prospectus.

1. Price and total return information is based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Certain adjustments were made to the net assets of the Fund at 10/31/13 for financial reporting, and as a result, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the total returns based on those net asset values may differ from the adjusted net asset values and total returns reported in the Financial Highlights.

2. The Fund has a fee waiver associated with its investments in a Franklin Templeton money fund, contractually guaranteed through at least its current fiscal year end. Fund investment results reflect the fee waiver, to the extent applicable; without this reduction, the results would have been lower.

3. Cumulative total return represents the change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.

4. Average annual total return represents the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. 5. These figures represent the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the periods indicated.

6. In accordance with SEC rules, we provide standardized average annual total return information through the latest calendar quarter.

7. The 30-day standardized yield for the 30 days ended 10/31/13 reflects an estimated yield to maturity (assuming all portfolio securities are held to maturity). It should be regarded as an estimate of the Fund’s rate of investment income, and it may not equal the Fund’s actual income distribution rate (which reflects the Fund’s past dividends paid to shareholders) or the income reported in the Fund’s financial statements.

8. Figures are as stated in the Fund’s current prospectus. In periods of market volatility, assets may decline significantly, causing total annual Fund operating expenses to become higher than the figures shown.

Your Fund’s Expenses

As a Fund shareholder, you can incur two types of costs:

Transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on Fund purchases; and
Ongoing Fund costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses.

The following table shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated.

Actual Fund Expenses

The first line (Actual) for each share class listed in the table provides actual account values and expenses. The “Ending Account Value” is derived from the Fund’s actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses.

You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps. Of course, your account value and expenses will differ from those in this illustration:

1.	Divide your account value by $1,000.
	If an account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6.
2.	Multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
	If Expenses Paid During Period were $7.50, then 8.6 x $7.50 = $64.50.

In this illustration, the estimated expenses paid this period are $64.50.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Funds

Information in the second line (Hypothetical) for each class in the table can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” is based on the actual expense ratio for each class and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund’s actual return. The figure under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

10 | Annual Report

Your Fund’s Expenses (continued)

Please note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges. Therefore, the second line for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transaction costs were included, your total costs would have been higher. Please refer to the Fund prospectus for additional information on operating expenses.

*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month expense ratio, net of expense waivers, annualized for each class (A: 1.09% and Advisor: 0.80%), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

Notes to Financial Statements

Franklin Templeton Hard Currency Fund

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Franklin Templeton Global Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (1940 Act) as an open-end investment company, consisting of one fund, the Franklin Templeton Hard Currency Fund (Fund). The Fund offers two classes of shares: Class A and Advisor Class. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges, voting rights on matters affecting a single class, its exchange privilege and fees primarily due to differing arrangements for distribution and transfer agent fees.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

The Fund’s investments in financial instruments are carried at fair value daily. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Under procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund’s administrator, investment manager and other affiliates have formed the Valuation and Liquidity Oversight Committee (VLOC). The VLOC provides administration and oversight of the Fund’s valuation policies and procedures, which are approved annually by the Board. Among other things, these procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.

Debt securities generally trade in the over-the-counter (OTC) market rather than on a securities exchange. The Fund’s pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, estimated default rates, anticipated market interest rate volatility, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value. Securities denominated in a foreign currency are converted into their U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the NYSE on the date that the values of the foreign debt securities are determined. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value.

Derivative financial instruments (derivatives) listed on an exchange are valued at the official closing price of the day. Certain derivatives trade in the OTC market. The Fund’s pricing services use various techniques including industry standard option pricing models and proprietary discounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of those instruments. The Fund’s net benefit or obligation under the derivative contract, as measured by the fair value of the contract, is included in net assets.

Franklin Templeton Global Trust

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Franklin Templeton Hard Currency Fund

1.	ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
a.	Financial Instrument Valuation (continued)

The Fund has procedures to determine the fair value of financial instruments for which market prices are not reliable or readily available. Under these procedures, the VLOC convenes on a regular basis to review such financial instruments and considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs, when arriving at fair value. The VLOC primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may also be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The VLOC employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis, and reviews of any related market activity.

b. Foreign Currency Translation

Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Portfolio securities and assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies contain risks that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Occasionally, events may impact the availability or reliability of foreign exchange rates used to convert the U.S. dollar equivalent value. If such an event occurs, the foreign exchange rate will be valued at fair value using procedures established and approved by the Board.

The Fund does not separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments on the Statement of Operations.

Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period.

Franklin Templeton Global Trust

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Franklin Templeton Hard Currency Fund

1.	ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
c.	Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis

The Fund purchases securities on a when-issued basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of holding the securities, it may sell the securities before the settlement date. Sufficient assets have been segregated for these securities.

d. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Fund invested in derivatives in order to manage risk or gain exposure to various other investments or markets. Derivatives are financial contracts based on an underlying or notional amount, require no initial investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than would normally be required to have a similar response to changes in market factors, and require or permit net settlement. Derivatives contain various risks including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill their obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market, and/or the potential for market movements which expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain and loss and unrealized appreciation and depreciation on these contracts for the period are included in the Statement of Operations.

Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through a formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties. The Fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives, whenever possible, by entering into International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreements with certain counterparties. These agreements contain various provisions, including but not limited to collateral requirements, events of default, or early termination. Termination events applicable to the counterparty include certain deteriorations in the credit quality of the counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Fund include failure of the Fund to maintain certain net asset levels and/or limit the decline in net assets over various periods of time. In the event of default or early termination, the ISDA master agreement gives the non-defaulting party the right to net and close-out all transactions traded, whether or not arising under the ISDA agreement, to one net amount payable by one counterparty to the other. However, absent an event of default or early termination, OTC derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross and not offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Early termination by the counterparty may result in an immediate payment by the Fund of any net liability owed to that counterparty under the ISDA agreement. At October 31, 2013, the Fund had OTC derivatives in a net liability position of $838,457 and the aggregate value of collateral pledged for such contracts was $680,000.

Franklin Templeton Global Trust

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Franklin Templeton Hard Currency Fund

1.	ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
d.	Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)

Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For OTC derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, posting of collateral is required by either the fund or the applicable counterparty if the total net exposure of all OTC derivatives with the applicable counterparty exceeds the minimum transfer amount, which typically ranges from $100,000 to $250,000, and can vary depending on the counterparty and the type of the agreement. Generally, collateral is determined at the close of fund business each day and any additional collateral required due to changes in derivative values may be delivered by the fund or the counterparty within a few business days. Collateral pledged and/or received by the fund, if any, is held in segregated accounts with the fund’s custodian/counterparty broker and can be in the form of cash and/or securities. Unrestricted cash may be invested according to the Fund’s investment objectives.

At October 31, 2013, the Fund received $3,989,633 in United Kingdom Treasury Bonds and U.S. Treasury Bonds and Notes as collateral for derivatives.

The Fund entered into OTC forward exchange contracts primarily to manage and/or gain exposure to certain foreign currencies. A forward exchange contract is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specific exchange rate on a future date.

See Note 9 regarding other derivative information.

e. Restricted Cash

At October 31, 2013, the Fund received restricted cash in connection with investments in certain derivative securities. Restricted cash is held in a segregated account with the Fund’s custodian and is reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

f. Income and Deferred Taxes

It is the Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund intends to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains to relieve it from federal income and if applicable, excise taxes. As a result, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.

The Fund may be subject to foreign taxation related to income received, capital gains on the sale of securities and certain foreign currency transactions in the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. When a capital gain tax is determined to apply the Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

Annual Report | 23

Franklin Templeton Global Trust

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Franklin Templeton Hard Currency Fund

1.	ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
f.	Income and Deferred Taxes (continued)

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the tax position. As of October 31, 2013, and for all open tax years, the Fund has determined that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits is required in the Fund’s financial statements related to uncertain tax positions taken on a tax return (or expected to be taken on future tax returns. Open tax years are those that remain subject to examination and are based on each tax jurisdiction statute of limitation.

g. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities are included in interest income. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined according to income tax regulations (tax basis). Distributable earnings determined on a tax basis may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences are not reclassified, as they may reverse in subsequent periods.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, not including class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class. Differences in per share distributions, by class, are generally due to differences in class specific expenses.

h. Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

i.	Guarantees and Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified by the Trust against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At October 31, 2013, there were an unlimited number of shares authorized (without par value).

At October 31, 2013, the cost of investments and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for income tax purposes were as follows:

Differences between income and/or capital gains as determined on a book basis and a tax basis are primarily due to differing treatments of foreign currency transactions and bond discounts and premiums.

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

There were no purchases or sales of investments (other than short term securities) for the year ended October 31, 2013.

7. INVESTMENTS IN INSTITUTIONAL FIDUCIARY TRUST MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO

The Fund invests in the Institutional Fiduciary Trust Money Market Portfolio (Sweep Money Fund), an open-end investment company managed by Advisers. Management fees paid by the Fund are reduced on assets invested in the Sweep Money Fund, in an amount not to exceed the management and administrative fees paid by the Sweep Money Fund.

8. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Investing in foreign securities may include certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities, such as fluctuating currency values and changing local and regional economic, political and social conditions, which may result in greater market volatility. In addition, certain foreign securities may not be as liquid as U.S. securities.

For the period ended October 31, 2013, the effect of derivative contracts on the Fund’s Statement of Operations was as follows:

For the year ended October 31, 2013, the average month end fair value of derivatives represented 1.85% of average month end net assets. The average month end number of open derivative contracts for the year was 36.

See Note 1(d) regarding derivative financial instruments.

10. CREDIT FACILITY

The Fund, together with other U.S. registered and foreign investment funds (collectively, Borrowers), managed by Franklin Templeton Investments, are borrowers in a joint syndicated senior unsecured credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (Global Credit Facility) which matures on January 17, 2014. This Global Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the ability to meet future unanticipated or unusually large redemption requests.

Under the terms of the Global Credit Facility, the Fund shall, in addition to interest charged on any borrowings made by the Fund and other costs incurred by the Fund, pay its share of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the implementation and maintenance of the Global Credit Facility, based upon its relative share of the aggregate net assets of all of the Borrowers, including an annual commitment fee of 0.07% based upon the unused portion of the Global Credit Facility. These fees are reflected in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund did not use the Global Credit Facility.

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Fund follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Fund’s own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s financial instruments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of financial instruments)

The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level.

For movements between the levels within the fair value hierarchy, the Fund has adopted a policy of recognizing the transfers as of the date of the underlying event which caused the movement.

A summary of inputs used as of October 31, 2013, in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value, is as follows:

12. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in the ASU enhance disclosures about offsetting of financial assets and liabilities to enable investors to understand the effect of these arrangements on a fund’s financial position. In January 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in ASU No. 2013-01 clarify the intended scope of disclosures required by ASU No. 2011-11. These ASUs are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Fund believes the adoption of these ASUs will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In June 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-08, Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements. The ASU modifies the criteria used in defining an investment company under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and also sets forth certain measurement and disclosure requirements. Under the ASU, an entity that is registered under the 1940 Act automatically qualifies as an investment company. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Fund is currently reviewing the requirements and believes the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Fund has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the financial statements and determined that no events have occurred that require disclosure.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Franklin Templeton Hard Currency Fund

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Franklin Templeton Hard Currency Fund (the “Fund”) at October 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
