Annual Report

Templeton Hard Currency Fund

This annual report for Templeton Hard Currency Fund covers the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015.

Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments

The Fund seeks to protect against depreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. The Fund seeks to achieve its goal by investing at least 80% of its net assets in investments denominated in hard currencies (as defined in the prospectus). The Fund normally invests mainly in high-quality short-term money market instruments and currency forward contracts denominated in foreign hard currencies. The Fund focuses on countries and markets that historically have experienced low inflation rates and that, in the investment manager’s view, follow economic policies conducive to continued low inflation rates and currency appreciation versus the U.S. dollar over the long term.

What is a currency forward contract?

A currency forward 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.

Performance Overview

The Fund’s Class A shares had a -11.04% cumulative total return for the 12 months under review. In comparison, the Fund’s benchmark, the J.P. Morgan (JPM) 3 Month Global Cash Index, which tracks total returns of short-term euro-currency deposits, had a -10.60% total return for the same period.¹The Fund typically does not attempt to directly match the composition of the index; thus the results are not directly comparable. The U.S. dollar appreciated 12.34% relative to its major trading partners during the period.²In particular, the U.S. dollar gained 13.42% versus the euro and rose 7.64% versus the Japanese yen.³You can find the Fund’s long-term performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 6.

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. Please visit franklintempleton.com or call (800) 342-5236 for most recent month-end performance.

Economic and Market Overview

During the period, global financial markets were broadly influenced by growth in the U.S., economic moderation in China, quantitative easing (QE) measures from the Bank of Japan (BOJ) and the European Central Bank (ECB), a sharp decline in oil prices and a protracted depreciation of emerging market currencies. Early in the period, oil prices declined sharply, leading to an increase in risk aversion across global fixed income markets. As risk aversion increased during November and December 2014, the U.S. dollar broadly strengthened against developed and emerging market currencies. We believed the market misjudged the underlying forces behind the decline in oil prices, which we determined to be driven by supply dynamics rather than a loss of demand. In our assessment, the global economy benefits from lower oil prices and most observers have been too pessimistic.

Shortly before the period began, the BOJ introduced a new round of massive QE with an indefinite time horizon. The annual level of asset purchasing was raised to 80 trillion yen —a level that basically equates to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) former QE program that ended in the same month. Though Japan’s QE was positive for global risk assets, it contributed to further depreciation of the yen, which declined 7.10% against the U.S. dollar for the 12-month period.³

In March 2015, the ECB launched a new QE program with the aim of increasing the size of its balance sheet to a level higher than its previous peak. The ECB stated its intentions to continue its asset purchases until it sees a sustained adjustment in the path of inflation, making the program effectively open

ended. During the period, we anticipated that QE would keep interest rates low for a while and that it would put further downward pressure on the euro. The euro depreciated 11.83% against the U.S. dollar over the 12-month period.³

Regarding China, we viewed the country’s moderation of growth as an inevitable normalization for an economy of its size. Despite the sudden decline of Chinese equity markets in late June and July 2015, we believed growth in China would remain on its expansionary pace and that the economy was fundamentally more stable than markets indicated. However, the devaluation of the Chinese yuan in mid-August 2015 by about 3% appeared to raise fears of a deeper, potentially uncontrolled depreciation. We believed that the Chinese authorities would focus on keeping currency depreciation reasonably controlled and that targeted monetary policies were prudent responses to a moderating economy.

We continued to see differentiation among specific emerging market economies; some had healthy current account and fiscal balances with strong export-driven economies, while others struggled with deficits and economic imbalances. We believed that economies with healthier balances and stronger growth prospects would be in a stronger position to potentially raise rates in conjunction with U.S. Fed rate hikes, which would result in relatively stronger currency fundamentals for such countries.

In July and August 2015, global volatility increased significantly with sharp declines in the bond markets and currencies of several emerging market countries. In our assessment, the depreciations of several emerging market currencies were excessive, leading to fundamentally cheap valuations. In keeping with our strategy, we look for opportunities to selectively add to our strongest convictions in periods of volatility and believe that global market fundamentals will eventually re-emerge. Despite the escalation in near-term volatility that persisted through the end of the period, our medium-term convictions remained intact.

Investment Strategy

In making investments in foreign hard currencies and in instruments denominated 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 (which may include shares of an affiliated money market fund) and currency forward contracts.

Manager’s Discussion

The U.S. dollar broadly appreciated against most currencies during the period as U.S. economic growth strengthened and volatility escalated across emerging markets. The Fund remained positioned in select emerging market currencies that we believe have the potential to outperform other currencies over the long term.

Europe

Currency positioning in Europe had a largely neutral effect on absolute return but significantly contributed to relative return. The Fund’s lack of exposure to the euro helped absolute performance as the euro depreciated against the U.S. dollar. The Fund’s underweighting in the euro was a significant contributor to relative performance against its benchmark JPM 3 Month Global Cash Index. Underweighted non-euro currency positions in Europe also contributed to relative return.

Asia Pacific

Currency positioning in Asia detracted from absolute and relative performance. Currency positioning in Southeast Asia detracted from absolute return. On a relative basis, the Fund’s overweighted currency positions in Southeast Asia detracted from results, while its underweighted position in the Australian dollar contributed to performance. The Fund’s lack of exposure to the Japanese yen helped absolute performance, as the yen depreciated against the U.S. dollar. The Fund’s underweighting in the Japanese yen contributed to relative performance.

Americas

Currency positioning in the Americas detracted from absolute and relative performance. The Fund’s exposure to the Canadian dollar in the first half of the period detracted from absolute return. Currency positions in Latin America also detracted from absolute performance. On a relative basis, the Fund’s overweighted currency positions in Canada and Latin America detracted from relative performance.

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

Please note that although the Fund’s Statement of Investments on page 12 of this report indicates the Fund held 71.5% of its total investments in U.S. dollar-denominated assets as of 10/31/15, its net exposure to the U.S. dollar as of that date was 3.3%. The difference is explained by the Fund’s holdings of currency forward contracts (please see Statement of Investments on page 13 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.

TEMPLETON HARD CURRENCY FUND
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Special risks are associated with foreign investing, including economic instability and polit-
ical 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 bond issuer or in a bond’s credit rating may affect its value. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s invest-
ment 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. The Fund has a fee waiver associated with any investment 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.
2. Cumulative total return represents the change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.
3. Average annual total return represents the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.
4. These figures represent the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the periods indicated.
5. In accordance with SEC rules, we provide standardized average annual total return information through the latest calendar quarter.
6. 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.
7. The 30-day standardized yield for the 30 days ended 10/31/15 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. Source: J.P. Morgan. The JPM 3 Month Global Cash Index tracks total returns of 3-month constant maturity euro-currency deposits, the only short-term securities
consistent across all markets in terms of liquidity, maturity and credit quality.

TEMPLETON HARD CURRENCY FUND

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, distribu- tion 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.

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.


		Beginning Account		Ending Account		Expenses Paid During
Share Class		Value 5/1/15		Value 10/31/15		*Period 5/1/15–10/31/15**
A
Actual	$	1,000	$	938.80	$	5.57
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)	$	1,000	$	1,019.46	$	5.80
Advisor
Actual	$	1,000	$	940.60	$	4.26
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)	$	1,000	$	1,020.82	$	4.43
*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month expense ratio, net of expense waivers, annualized for each class (A: 1.14% and
Advisor: 0.87%), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON GLOBAL TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements

Templeton Hard Currency Fund

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Franklin Templeton Global Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company, consisting of one fund, Templeton Hard Currency Fund (Fund) and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). 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. The Fund calculates the net asset value (NAV) per share as of 4 p.m. Eastern time each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for trading. Under compliance policies and procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund’s administrator has responsibility for oversight of valuation, including leading the cross-functional 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 4 p.m. Eastern time on the date that the values of the foreign debt securities are determined.

Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing NAV.

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.

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.

Trading in securities on foreign securities stock exchanges and OTC markets may be completed before 4 p.m. Eastern time. In addition, trading in certain foreign markets may not take place on every NYSE business day. Occasionally, events occur

Policies (continued)

a. Financial Instrument Valuation (continued)

between the time at which trading in a foreign security is completed and the close of the NYSE that might call into question the reliability of the value of a portfolio security held by the Fund. As a result, differences may arise between the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities as determined at the foreign market close and the latest indications of value at the close of the NYSE. In order to minimize the potential for these differences, the VLOC monitors price movements following the close of trading in foreign stock markets through a series of country specific market proxies (such as baskets of American Depositary Receipts, futures contracts and exchange traded funds). These price movements are measured against established trigger thresholds for each specific market proxy to assist in determining if an event has occurred that may call into question the reliability of the values of the foreign securities held by the Fund. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services.

When the last day of the reporting period is a non-business day, certain foreign markets may be open on those days that the NYSE is closed, which could result in differences between the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities on the last business day and the last calendar day of the reporting period. Any significant security valuation changes due to an open foreign market are adjusted and reflected by the Fund for financial reporting purposes.

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 in 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.

c. 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 in 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 counter-parties. These agreements contain various provisions, including but not limited to collateral requirements, events of default, or early termination. Termination events applicable to the counter-party include certain deteriorations in the credit quality of the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Templeton Hard Currency Fund (continued)

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 coun-terparty 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.

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.

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 8 regarding other derivative information.

d. 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 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.

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, 2015, 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’s statute of limitation.

e. 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 U.S. GAAP. 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.

Policies (continued)

f. Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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.

g. Guarantees and Indemnifications

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

2. Shares of Beneficial Interest

At October 31, 2015, there were an unlimited number of shares authorized (without par value). Transactions in the Fund’s shares were as follows:

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON GLOBAL TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Templeton Hard Currency Fund (continued)

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 in the Statement of Operations. During the year ended October 31, 2015, the Fund did not use the Global Credit Facility.

10. 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, 2015, in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value, is as follows:


		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Investments in Securities
Foreign Government and Agency Securities	$	—	$	29,123,325	$	—	$	29,123,325

11. 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.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON GLOBAL TRUST TEMPLETON HARD CURRENCY FUND

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of 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 Templeton Hard Currency Fund (the “Fund”) at October 31, 2015, 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, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission require the Fund to disclose whether the Fund’s Audit
Committee includes at least one member who is an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of such Act and Rules. The Fund’s Board has deter-
mined that there is at least one such financial expert on the Audit Committee and has designated John B. Wilson as its audit committee financial expert.
The Board believes that Mr. Wilson qualifies as such an expert in view of his extensive business background and experience, including service as chief
financial officer of Staples, Inc. from 1992 to 1996. Mr. Wilson has been a Member and Chairman of the Fund’s Audit Committee since 2006. As a result of such
background and experience, the Board believes that Mr. Wilson has acquired an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial state-
ments, the general application of such principles in connection with the accounting estimates, accruals and reserves, and analyzing and evaluating financial
statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues generally comparable to those of the Fund, as well as an understanding of
internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and an understanding of audit committee functions. Mr. Wilson is an independent Board member as
that term is defined under the relevant Securities and Exchange Commission Rules and Releases.

The Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes additional information about the board members and is available, without charge, upon request.
