markets.
For
purposes
of
the
Fund’s

Economic
and
Market
Overview
Sovereign
bond
yields
rose
across
much
of
the
world
during
the
first
three
months
of
the
six-month
period
ended
June
30,
2021,
as
vaccine
distributions,
ongoing
stimulus
measures
and
optimism
for
improving
economic
conditions
appeared
to
fuel
reflation
expectations
across
financial
markets.
In
April,
sovereign
bond
yields
in
much
of
Asia
and
the
Americas
pulled
back
from
their
March
peaks,
while
many
areas
of
Europe
saw
yields
continue
to
rise.
In
June,
sovereign
bond
*Includes

and

funds
and
other
net
assets
(including
derivatives).
yields
declined
across
developed
markets
but
shifted
in
varying
directions
in
emerging
markets.
On
the
whole,
most
countries
around
the
world
saw
yields
rise
significantly
over
the
six-month
period,
despite
the
general
trend
of
declining
yields
over
the
final
months
of
the
period.
The
yield
on
the
10-year
U.S.
Treasury
(UST)
note
finished
the
six-month
period
55
basis
points
(bps)
higher
at
1.47%.
It
reached
an
intra-period
peak
of
1.74%
on
March
31,
its
highest
level
since
January
2020.
In
Europe,
the
yield
on
the
10-year
German
Bund
finished
the
six-month
period
36
bps
higher
at
-0.21%.
In
Asia,
the
yield
on
the
10-year
Japanese
government
bond
rose
three
bps
to
0.05%.
Sovereign
bond
yields
also
notably
rose
in
the
U.K.,
Canada,
Australia,
Sweden
and
Norway.
In
emerging
markets,
yields
rose
in
India,
Indonesia,
Thailand,
Brazil,
Mexico,
Chile,
Colombia
and
Peru.
Rising
yields
strained
valuations
across
many
areas
of
the
global
fixed
income
markets
during
2021’s
first
quarter.
U.S.
dollar
(USD)-denominated
sovereign
credit
sectors
broadly
saw
negative
returns
in
January,
February
and
March,
before
sharply
reversing
to
generate
offsetting
positive
returns
in
April,
May
and
June
as
yields
declined.
Conditions
were
somewhat
different
in
corporate
credit
sectors
as
U.S.
investment-grade
credit
tiers
initially
saw
negative
returns
on
rate
pressures,
while
high-yield
credit
tiers
performed
better,
benefiting
from
greater
spread
cushioning.
Investment-grade
corporate
credits
returned
to
positive
performance
in
April,
May
and
June,
modestly
outpacing
similar
positive
returns
in
the
high-yield
credit
tiers.
In
currency
markets,
the
USD
broadly
strengthened
against
a
number
of
major
developed
market
and
emerging
market
currencies
in
the
first
quarter,
with
a
few
notable
exceptions.

Report
That
trend
reversed
in
April
and
May
as
the
USD
broadly
depreciated,
before
returning
to
a
strengthening
pattern
in
June.
On
the
whole,
the
USD
finished
the
six-month
period
broadly
stronger
against
most
currencies,
with
some
exceptions.
In
Asia,
the
Chinese
yuan
appreciated
1.08%
against
the

in
the
six-month
period,
while
the

depreciated
0.25%,
the
Colombian
peso
8.79%
and
the
Chilean
peso
3.25%.
Vaccine
distributions
progressively
accelerated
in
many
countries
during
the
period,
though
supply
setbacks
affected
areas
of
Europe
in
March
and
April.
Novel
coronavirus
(COVID-19)
infection
levels
peaked
in
January
in
the
U.S.
and
Europe
before
declining
in
February
and
plateauing
in
March.
Cases
continued
to
trend
lower
in
April,
May
and
June.
Governments
continued
to
struggle
with
balancing
the
needs
of
their
economies
with
the
health
of
their
citizens
during
much
of
the
first
half
of
the
period
before
higher
vaccination
rates
and
lower
case
levels
enabled
many
regions
to
progressively
reopen
their
economies
in
the
second
quarter.
Business
and
consumer
confidence
surveys
strengthened
in
multiple
regions
during
the
period,
particularly
in
the
second
quarter,
despite
some
growing
concerns
over
the
proliferation
of
the
COVID-19
delta
variant
in
several
parts
of
the
world
in
June,
notably
in
the
U.K.
and
Australia.
Economic
activity
continued
to
broadly
expand
in
many
countries
during
the
second
half
of
the
period,
largely
driven
by
strength
in
goods
sectors
and
manufacturing.
Historically
high
savings
rates
in
many
countries
also
fueled
resurgent
growth
in
the
spring
and
summer
months.
Labor
market
conditions
generally
continued
to
improve
in
many
countries
during
the
period,
though
unemployment
broadly
remained
above
pre-pandemic
levels.
Inflation
figures
surged
higher
in
many
countries
in
April,
May
and
June,
driven
by
a
combination
of
factors
that
included
cyclical
upswings
associated
with
resurgent
economic
activity,
supply
bottlenecks
in
certain
sectors
and
base
effects
off
of
the
pandemic
shocks
in
2020.
Headline
Consumer
Price
Index
(CPI)
inflation
in
the
U.S.
rose
from
2.6%
year-over-year
in
March
to
4.2%
in
April
and
5.0%
in
May,
its
highest
level
since
2008.
In
Europe,
euro
area
(EA)
inflation
rose
from
0.9%
in
February
to
1.3%
in
March,
1.6%
in
April
and
2.0%
in
May,
before
levelling
off
at
1.9%
(estimated)
in
June;
the
EA
had
previously
endured
deflationary
pressures
through
the
third
and
fourth
quarters
of
2020.
Areas
of
non-core
Europe,
such
as
Hungary
and
Russia,
experienced
above-target
levels
of
inflation
in
May
and
June.
Globally,
areas
of
Latin
America,
such
as
Brazil
and
Mexico,
also
experienced
above-target
inflation
during
the
period,
while
inflation
levels
remained
relatively
more
contained
in
areas
of
Asia,
such
as
China,
South
Korea,
Indonesia
and
Thailand.
Pent-up
demand
outpaced
supply
recoveries
in
certain
sectors
during
the
spring
and
summer
months,
adding
to
pricing
pressures.
Supply
bottlenecks
have
intermittently
surfaced
across
a
myriad
of
industries
due
to
accelerating
demand,
as
well
as
logistical
disruptions
and
ongoing
uncertainties
(economic,
health
and
policy)
that
make
it
difficult
to
accurately
schedule
production.
Most
central
banks
around
the
world
signaled
during
the
middle
of
the
six-month
period
that
they
had
reached
the
end
of
their
rate-cutting
cycles,
with
several
banks
beginning
to
pivot
towards
plans
for
policy
normalization.
The
Bank
of
Canada
began
tapering
its
asset
purchases
in
April
and
indicated
that
interest
rates
could
be
raised
in
the
second
half
of
2022.
The
Bank
of
England
headed
towards
concluding
its
quantitative
easing
program
by
the
end
of
2021.
Norges
Bank
(Norway)
indicated
that
a
rate
hike
could
arrive
in
the
second
half
of
2021.
Riksbank
(Sweden)
was
on
pace
to
wind
down
its
asset
purchase
program
in
2021
but
intended
to
keep
rates
on
hold
at
0%
for
the
foreseeable
future.
The
Reserve
Bank
of
New
Zealand
intended
to
end
its
asset
purchases
by
September
and
begin
hiking
rates
by
mid-2022.
Other
developed
market
central
banks—including
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(Fed),
the
European
Central
Bank
(ECB)
and
the
Bank
of
Japan
(BOJ)—had
not
yet
signaled
a
normalization
schedule
as
of
the
end
of
June.
In
emerging
markets,
several
countries
faced
persistent
inflation
pressures
that
may
force
a
faster
tightening
response
from
their
central
banks.
Notably,
Brazil’s
central
bank
hiked
rates
75
bps
three
times
during
the
period
(March,
May
and
June)
to
4.25%,
and
Mexico’s
central
bank
hiked
its
policy
rate
25
bps
in
June
to
4.25%,
its
first
rate
hike
since
December
2018.
Other
countries
indicated
they
may
begin
pursuing
tightening
policies
in
the
second
half
of
2021.
The
Fed
kept
the
federal
funds
target
rate
unchanged
at
0.00%–0.25%,
at
each
of
its
policy
meetings
during
the
period.
In
March,
the
Fed
notably
upgraded
its
growth
forecast
for
2021
to
6.5%
from
its
prior
estimate
of
4.2%
in
December.
The
core
inflation
forecast
was
upgraded
to
Templeton
Global
Income
Fund
4
franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
2.2%
for
2021,
from
the
prior
estimate
of
1.8%.
However,
Fed
Chair
Jay
Powell
cautioned
that
a
full
recovery
was
still
distant
and
that
economic
conditions
continued
to
warrant
extraordinary
monetary
accommodation,
citing
the
uncertainty
related
to
the
course
of
the
pandemic.
In
June,
the
overall
policy
tone
shifted
in
a
hawkish
direction
as
the
Fed
raised
its
2021
growth
forecast
for
the
U.S.
economy
to
7.0%
and
increased
its
inflation
forecast
to
3.4%.
Powell
commented
that
“the
economy
has
clearly
made
progress,”
and
a
majority
of
Fed
officials
brought
forward
their
projected
expectations
for
rate
hikes.
The
Fed’s
dot
plot
survey
had
previously
indicated
expectations
for
no
hikes
until
2024
at
the
March
meeting.
In
June,
13
of
18
Fed
officials
indicated
expectations
for
a
rate
hike
by
the
end
of
2023,
with
11
indicating
expectations
for
two
hikes.
Seven
officials
indicated
expectations
for
at
least
one
hike
by
the
end
of
2022.
Powell
cautioned
that
the
dot
surveys
do
not
reflect
forward
guidance
from
the
committee
and
that
any
discussion
about
raising
rates
is
still
“highly
premature.”
Powell
also
indicated
in
June
that
discussions
of
when
to
begin
tapering
its
asset
purchase
program
had
begun,
but
that
the
timeline
is
yet
to
be
determined.
The
Fed
continued
to
purchase
“at
least
$80
billion
per
month”
in
USTs
and
“at
least
$40
billion
per
month
in
agency
mortgage-backed
securities”
during
the
reporting
period.
The
Fed’s
balance
sheet
reached
US$8.1
trillion
at
the
end
of
June.
Despite
higher
U.S.
inflation
figures
during
the
period,
Powell
continued
to
dispel
the
notion
that
higher
inflation
figures
in
2021
would
necessitate
near-term
rate
hikes,
reiterating
the
Fed’s
view
that
the
figures
largely
reflect
“transitory
factors”
that
would
not
affect
the
course
of
monetary
policy.
Core
personal
consumption
expenditures
(PCE)
inflation
surged
to
3.4%
year-over-year
in
May,
its
highest
level
since
1992,
up
from
3.1%
in
April
and
1.9%
in
March.
The
Fed
continued
to
indicate
it
will
let
inflation
run
above
2.0%
for
periods
of
time
to
counterbalance
prior
periods
of
prolonged
below-target
inflation,
implying
that
the
Fed
will
allow
the
U.S.
economy
to
run
hot
in
upcoming
years.
However,
Powell
directly
addressed
Fed
credibility
concerns,
stating
that
“if
we
see
inflation
moving
materially
above
2%
in
a
persistent
way
that
risks
inflation
expectations
drifting
up,
then
we
will
use
our
tools
to
guide
inflation
expectations
back
down.”
As
of
the
June
meeting,
the
Fed
projected
core
PCE
will
be
3.0%
in
2021,
and
2.1%
in
2022
and
2023.
The
ECB
kept
monetary
policy
unchanged
at
each
of
its
policy
meetings
during
the
period,
leaving
the
main
refinancing
operations
rate
at
0.0%,
and
the
main
deposit
facility
rate
at
-0.5%.
In
March,
the
ECB
announced
that
it
would
accelerate
the
pace
of
its
bond
purchases
under
the
Pandemic
Emergency
Purchase
Programme
(PEPP).
In
June,
it
recommitted
to
those
levels,
stating
that
the
pace
and
volume
of
bond
purchases
under
the
PEPP
would
“continue
to
be
conducted
at
a
significantly
higher
pace
than
during
the
first
months
of
the
year.”
The
PEPP
is
currently
scheduled
to
run
through
March
2022
and
has
around
€700
billion
in
capacity
remaining
of
its

trillion
size.
The
ECB
raised
its
2021
growth
forecast
for
the
EA
to
4.6%
at
its
June
meeting,
describing
conditions
as
“balanced”
and
removing
prior
comments
that
risks
were
“titled
to
the
downside.”
The
ECB
also
increased
its
2021
inflation
forecast
for
the
EA
to
1.9%
(harmonized
index
of
consumer
prices)
from
1.5%.
ECB
President
Christine
Lagarde
commented
in
June
that
inflation
remained
distant
from
the
ECB’s
target
and
is
expected
to
diminish
in
2022.
Lagarde
warned
that
monetary
tightening
would
jeopardize
the
economic
recovery
and
the
inflation
outlook.
The
BOJ
kept
monetary
policy
unchanged
at
each
of
its
policy
meetings
during
the
period,
leaving
the
overnight
interest
rate
at
0.1%
and
the
yield
target
on
the
10-year
Japanese
government
bond
at
0.0%.
The
BOJ
published
the
results
of
its
monetary
framework
review
in
March,
the
first
of
its
kind
since
2016.
The
findings
indicated
a
shift
of
emphasis
from
aggressive
stimulus
towards
more
“sustainable”
policy.
The
BOJ
said
it
plans
to
intervene
as
needed
during
events
that
require
financial
market
support,
but
will
shift
away
from
continuous
balance
sheet
expansion
solely
to
stimulate
economic
activity.
Japan
continued
to
struggle
against
deflationary
pressures
that
have
persisted
since
April
2020.
Core

(National
CPI

rose
to

year-over-year
in

-0.4%
in

and

Investment
Strategy
We
invest
selectively
in
bonds
around
the
world
to
generate
income
for
the
Fund,
seeking
opportunities
while
monitoring
changes
in
interest
rates,
currency
exchange
rates
and
credit
risks.
We
seek
to
manage
the
Fund’s
exposure
to
various
currencies
and
may
use
currency
forward
contracts.
Manager’s
Discussion
The
successful
development
of
vaccines
against
COVID-19
in
the
final
months
of
2020
substantially
changed
our
outlook
and
positioning
for
2021.
In
the
weeks
before
the
six-month
reporting
period
began,
we
significantly
shifted
the
emphasis
of
the
Fund’s
strategic
positioning
from
a
safe-haven
stance
toward
an
increasing
allocation
in
risk
assets.
We
expected
a
rebound
in
global
economic
activity
and
improving
economic
conditions
in
the
spring
and
summer
months
of
2021
as
vaccines
were
progressively
distributed
and
people
increasingly
reengaged
with
the
world.
We
were
actively
constructive
in
a
number
of
regions
throughout
the
period,
particularly
in
areas
of
Asia
that
appeared
to
be
at
the
forefront
of
the
global
economic
recovery.
The
Fund
was
focused
on
three
core
themes
during
the
six-month
period:
(1)
weakness
in
the
euro
and
USD,
on
excessive
fiscal
and
monetary
policies
in
Europe
and
the
U.S.,
against
currencies
in
countries
with
strong
trade
dynamics,
current
account
surpluses,
better
fiscal
management
and
stronger
growth
potential,
notably
in
Asia;
(2)
avoiding
interest-rate
risks
in
low-yielding
developed
markets;
and
(3)
pursuing
sovereign
bonds
with
relatively
higher
yields
in
a
select
set
of
resilient
emerging
markets.
At
the
beginning
of
the
period,
the
Fund
held
overweighted
positions
in
specific
currencies
that
showed
medium-term
value
against
the
USD
and
the
euro.
We
held
notable
exposures
to
the
Chinese
yuan,
the
South
Korean
won,
the
Indian
rupee
and
the
Indonesian
rupiah
against
the
USD.
We
added
exposure
to
the
Singapore
dollar
in
April
and
the
New
Zealand
dollar
in
June.
In
Europe,
we
held
exposures
in
the
Norwegian
krone
and
Swedish
krona
against
the
euro.
In
the
Americas,
we
held
long
exposure
to
the
Canadian
dollar
against
the
euro,
and
long
exposures
to
the
Colombian
peso
and
Brazilian
real
against
the
USD.
In
May,
we
added
exposure
to
the
Chilean
peso
against
the
USD.
During
the
period,
we
used
currency
forwards
and
currency
options
to
actively
manage
currency
exposures.
We
also
continued
to
focus
on
compelling
risk-adjusted
yields
in
various
local-currency
bond
markets,
specifically
in
countries
with
resilient
economies
and
strong
trade
dynamics.
We
continued
to
largely
avoid
developed
market
duration
exposures
in
preference
for
higher
yields
available
in
select
emerging
markets,
notably
including
Indonesia,
India,
Mexico,
Colombia,
Brazil
and
Ghana,
among
others.
We
saw
pockets
of
value
in
certain
USD-denominated
sovereign
credits,
such
as
Ecuador,
but
we
continued
to
largely
prefer
specific
valuations
in
the
local-currency
markets
over
the
more
fully
valued
credit
markets.
During
the
period,
the
Fund’s
negative
absolute
performance
was
primarily
due
to
currency
positions.
Interest-rate
strategies
contributed
to
absolute
results
as
did
sovereign
credit
exposures.
Among
currencies,
the
Fund’s
net-positive
position
in
the
Japanese
yen
detracted
from
absolute
performance,
as
did
currency
positions
in
Latin
America
and
Asia
ex-Japan.
The
Fund
maintained
a
defensive
approach
regarding
interest
rates
in
developed
markets,
while
holding
duration
exposures
in
select
emerging
markets.
Select
duration
exposures
in
Latin
America
(Argentina)
and
Africa
(Ghana)
contributed
to
absolute
results.
On
a
relative
basis,
the
Fund’s
performance
fared
better
than
that
of
its
benchmark
index
primarily
due
to
interest-
rate
strategies
and
sovereign
credit
exposures.
Currency
positions
detracted
from
relative
results.
The
Fund
maintained
a
defensive
approach
regarding
interest
rates
in
developed
markets,
while
holding
duration
exposures
in
select
emerging
markets.
Select
underweighted
duration
exposures
in
Europe
contributed
to
relative
performance,
as
did
underweighted
duration
exposure
in
the
U.S.
Select
overweighted
duration
exposures
in
Latin
America
(Argentina)
and
Africa
(Ghana)
also
contributed
to
relative
results.
Among
currencies,
the
Fund’s
overweighted
position
in
the
Japanese
yen
during
most
of
the
period
detracted
from
relative
performance,
as
did
overweighted
currency
positions
in
Latin
America
and
Asia
ex-Japan.
However,
the
Fund’s
underweighted
exposure
to
the
euro
contributed
to
relative
results.

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
possible
loss
of
principal.
Changes
in
interest
rates
will
affect
the
value
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
value,
share
price
and
yield.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
As
prices
of
bonds
in
the
Fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Special
risks
are
associated
with
foreign
investing,
including
currency
fluctuations,
economic
instability
and
political
developments
of
coun-
tries
where
the
Fund
invests.
Investments
in
developing
markets
involve
heightened
risks
related
to
the
same
factors,
in
addition
to
those
associated
with
their
relatively
small
size
and
lesser
liquidity.
Sovereign
debt
securities
are
subject
to
various
risks
in
addition
to
those
relating
to
debt
securities
and
foreign
securi-
ties
generally,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
the
risk
that
a
government
entity
may
be
unwilling
or
unable
to
pay
interest
and
repay
principal
on
its
sovereign
debt,
or
otherwise
meet
its
obligations
when
due.
The
markets
for
particular
securities
or
types
of
securities
are
or
may
become
relatively
illiquid.
Reduced
liquidity
will
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
security’s
value
and
on
the
Fund’s
ability
to
sell
such
securities
when
necessary
to
meet
the
Fund’s
liquidity
needs
or
in
response
to
a
specific
market
event.
Derivatives,
including
currency
management
strategies,
involve
costs
and
can
create
economic
leverage
in
the
portfolio
that
may
result
in
significant
volatility
and
cause
the
Fund
to
participate
in
losses
on
an
amount
that
exceeds
the
Fund’s
initial
investment.
The
Fund
may
not
achieve
the
anticipated
benefits
and
may
realize
losses
when
a
counterparty
fails
to
perform
as
promised.
As
a
nondiversified
investment
company,
the
Fund
may
invest
in
a
relatively
small
number
of
issuers
and,
as
a
result,
be
subject
to
a
greater
risk
of
loss
with
respect
to
its
portfolio
securities.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
diseases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
The
Fund
is
actively
managed
but
there
is
no
guarantee
that
the
manager’s
investment
decisions
will
produce
the
desired
results.
The
Fund
may
invest
in
China
Interbank
bonds
traded
on
the
China
Interbank
Bond
Market
(“CIBM”)
through
the
China
Hong
Kong
Bond
Connect
program
(“Bond
Connect”).
In
China,
the
Hong
Kong
Monetary
Authority
Central
Money
Markets
Unit
holds
Bond
Connect
securities
on
behalf
of
ultimate
investors
(such
as
the
Fund)
in
accounts
maintained
with
a
China-based
custodian
(either
the
China
Central
Depository
&
Clearing
Co.
or
the
Shanghai
Clearing
House).
This
re-cordkeeping
system
subjects
the
Fund
to
various
risks,
including
the
risk
that
the
Fund
may
have
a
limited
ability
to
enforce
rights
as
a
bondholder
and
the
risks
of
settlement
delays
and
counterparty
default
of
the
Hong
Kong
sub-custodian.
In
addition,
enforcing
the
ownership
rights
of
a
beneficial
holder
of
Bond
Connect
securities
is
untested
and
courts
in
China
have
limited
experience
in
applying
the
concept
of
beneficial
ownership.
Bond
Connect
uses
the
trading
infra-
structure
of
both
Hong
Kong
and
China
and
is
not
available
on
trading
holidays
in
Hong
Kong.
As
a
result,
prices
of
securities
purchased
through
Bond
Connect
may
fluctuate
at
times
when
a
Fund
is
unable
to
add
to
or
exit
its
position.
Securities
offered
through
Bond
Connect
may
lose
their
eligibility
for
trading
through
the
program
at
any
time.
If
Bond
Connect
securities
lose
their
eligibility
for
trading
through
the
program,
they
may
be
sold
but
can
no
longer
be
purchased
through
Bond
Connect.
Bond
Connect
is
subject
to
regulation
by
both
Hong
Kong
and
China
and
there
can
be
no
assurance
that
further
regulations
will
not
affect
the
availability
of
se-
curities
in
the
program,
the
frequency
of
redemptions
or
other
limitations.
Bond
Connect
trades
are
settled
in
Chinese
currency,
the
renminbi
(“RMB”).
It
cannot
be
guaranteed
that
investors
will
have
timely
access
to
a
reliable
supply
of
RMB
in
Hong
Kong.
Bond
Connect
is
relatively
new
and
its
effects
on
the
Chinese
interbank
bond
market
are
uncertain.
In
addition,
the
trading,
settlement
and
IT
systems
required
for
non-Chinese
investors
in
Bond
Connect
are
relatively
new.
In
the
event
of
systems
malfunctions,
trading
via
Bond
Connect
could
be
disrupted.
In
addition,
the
Bond
Connect
program
may
be
subject
to
further
interpre-
tation
and
guidance.
There
can
be
no
assurance
as
to
the
program’s
continued
existence
or
whether
future
developments
regarding
the
program
may
restrict
or
adversely
affect
the
Fund’s
investments
or
returns.
Finally,
uncertainties
in
China
tax
rules
governing
taxation
of
income
and
gains
from
investments
via
Bond
Connect
could
result
in
unexpected
tax
liabilities
for
a
Fund.
The
application
and
interpretation
of
the
laws
and
regulations
of
Hong
Kong
and
China,
and
the
rules,
policies
or
guidelines
published
or
applied
by
relevant
regulators
and
exchanges
in
respect
of
the
Bond
Connect
program,
are
uncertain,
and
may
have
a
detrimental
effect
on
the
Fund’s
investments
and
returns.

1.
Organization
and
Significant
Accounting
Policies
Templeton
Global
Income
Fund (Fund)
is
registered under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(1940
Act)
as
a
closed-end
management
investment
company
and
applies
the
specialized
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
U.S.
Generally
Accepted
Accounting
Principles
(U.S.
GAAP).
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
each business
day as
of
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
or
the
regularly
scheduled
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE),
whichever
is
earlier.
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
Committee
(VC).
The
Fund
may
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.
Certain
derivative
financial
instruments
are
centrally
cleared
or
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 Fund
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.
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.

Semiannual
Report
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
derivative
financial
instruments
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
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. 
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
the
next
business
day,
or
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.
To
the
extent
that
the
amounts
due
to
the
Fund
from
its
counterparties
are
not
subject
to
collateralization
or
are
not
fully
collateralized,
the
Fund
bears
the
risk
of
loss
from
counterparty
non-performance.
The
Fund entered

d.
Restricted
Currency
At
June
30,
2021,
the
Fund
held
currencies
in
certain
markets
in
which
the
ability
to
repatriate
such
currency
is
limited.
As
a
result
of
such
limitations
on
repatriation,
the
Fund
may
incur
substantial
delays
in
gaining
access
to
these
assets
and
may
be
exposed
to
potential
adverse
movements
in
currency
value.
e.
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
may
recognize
an
income
tax
liability
related
to
its
uncertain
tax
positions
under
U.S.
GAAP
when
the
uncertain
tax
position
has
a
less
than
50%
probability
that
it
will
be
sustained
upon
examination
by
the
tax
authorities
based
on
its
technical
merits.
As
of
June
30,
2021,
the
Fund
has
determined
that
no
tax
liability
is
required
in
its
financial
statements
related
to
uncertain
tax
positions
for
any
open
tax
years
(or
expected
to
be
taken
in
future
tax
years).
Open
tax
years
are
those
that
remain
subject
to
examination
and
are
based
on
the
statute
of
limitations
in
each
jurisdiction
in
which
the
Fund
invests. 
f.
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.
Dividend
income
is
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributions
to shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Effective
April
1,
2021,
the
Fund
employs
a
managed
distribution
policy
whereby
the
Fund
will
make
monthly
distributions
to
shareholders
at
an
annual
minimum
fixed
rate
of
7.5%,
based
on
the
average
monthly
NAV
of
the
Fund’s
common
shares.
Under
the
policy,
the
Fund
is
managed
with
a
goal
of
generating
as
much
of
the
distribution
as
possible
from
net
ordinary
income
and
short-term
capital
gains.
The
balance
of
the
distribution
will
then
come
from
long-term
capital
gains
to
the
extent
permitted
and,
if
necessary,
a
return
of
capital.
Distributable
earnings
are
determined
according
to
income
tax
regulations
(tax
basis)
and
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.
Inflation-indexed
bonds
are
adjusted
for
inflation
through
periodic
increases
or
decreases
in
the
security's
interest
accruals,
face
amount,
or
principal
redemption
value,
by
amounts
corresponding
to
the
rate
of
inflation
as
measured
by
an
index.
Any
increase
or
decrease
in
the
face
amount
or
principal
redemption
value
will
be
included
as
inflation
principal
adjustments
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.

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.
h.
Guarantees
and
Indemnifications
Under
the
Fund's
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and
trustees
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
June
30,
2021,
there
were
an
unlimited
number
of
shares
authorized
(without
par
value).
During
the
period ended
June
30,
2021
and
year
ended
December
31,
2020
there
were
no

issued;
all
reinvested
distributions
were
satisfied
with
previously
issued
shares
purchased
in
the
open
market.
Under
the
Board
approved
open-market
share
repurchase
program,
the
Fund
may
purchase,
from
time
to
time,
Fund
shares
in
open-market
transactions,
at
the
discretion
of
management.
Since
the
inception
of
the
program,
the
Fund
has
repurchased
a
total
of
11,210,400
shares.
During
the
period ended

Administrative
Fees
Under
an
agreement
with

provides
administrative
services
to
the
Fund.
The
fee
is

c.
Investments
in
Affiliated
Management
Investment
Companies
The
Fund
invests
in
one
or
more
affiliated
management
investment
companies.
As
defined
in
the
1940
Act,
an
investment
is
deemed
to
be
a
“Controlled
Affiliate”
of
a
fund
when
a
fund
owns,
either
directly
or
indirectly,
25%
or
more
of
the
affiliated
fund’s
outstanding
shares
or
has
the
power
to
exercise
control
over
management
or
policies
of
such
fund.
The
Fund
does
not
invest
for
purposes
of
exercising
a
controlling
influence
over
the
management
or
policies.
Management
fees
paid
by
the
Fund
are
waived
on
assets
invested
in
the
affiliated
management
investment
companies,
as
noted
in
the
Statement
of
Operations,
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
the
management
and
administrative
fees
paid
directly
or
indirectly
by
each
affiliate.
During
the
period
ended
June
30,
2021,
the
Fund
held
investments
in
affiliated
management
investment
companies
as

Income
Taxes
For
tax
purposes,

At

the

For

Differences
between
income
and/or

as
determined
on

basis
and
a

basis
are
primarily
due
to
differing
treatments
of
foreign

Transactions
Purchases
and
sales
of
investments
(excluding
short

securities)
for
the
period

aggregated
$345,585,510
and
$309,081,826,
respectively.
6.
Credit Risk
At
June
30,
2021,
the
Fund
had
24.1%
of
its
portfolio
invested
in
high
yield
or
other
securities
rated
below
investment
grade
and
unrated
securities.
These
securities
may
be
more
sensitive
to
economic
conditions
causing
greater
price
volatility
and
are
potentially
subject
to
a
greater
risk
of
loss
due
to
default
than
higher
rated
securities.
7.
Concentration
of
Risk
Investments
in
issuers
domiciled
or
with
significant
operations
in
developing
or
emerging
market
countries
may
be
subject
to
higher
risks
than
investments
in
developed
countries.
These
risks
include
fluctuating
currency
values,
underdeveloped
legal
or
business
systems,
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.
Currencies
of
developing
or
emerging
market
countries
may
be
subject
to
significantly
greater
risks
than
currencies
of
developed
countries,
including
the
potential
inability
to
repatriate
those
currencies
into
U.S.
dollars.
At
June
30,
2021,
the
Fund
had
2.1%
of
its
net
assets
denominated
in
Argentine
Pesos.
Argentina
has
restricted
currency
repatriation
since
September
2019,
and
had
restructured
certain
issues
of
its
debt.
Political
and
economic
conditions
in
Argentina
could
continue
to
affect
the
value
of
the
Fund's
holdings.
8.
Novel
Coronavirus
Pandemic 
The
global
outbreak
of
the
novel
coronavirus
disease,
known
as
COVID-19, has
caused
adverse
effects
on
many
companies,
sectors,
nations,
regions
and
the
markets
in
general, and
may
continue for
an unpredictable duration.
The
effects
of
this
pandemic
may
materially
impact
the
value
and
performance
of
the Fund, its ability
to
buy
and
sell
fund
investments
at
appropriate
valuations
and its ability
to
achieve its investment

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.
A
summary
of
inputs
used
as
of
June
30,
2021,
in
valuing
the
Fund's
assets
and
liabilities
carried
at
fair
value,
is
as
follows:
a
In
At
June
30,
2021,
the
Fund
received
U.S.
Treasury
Bonds
and
Notes
and
U.K
Treasury
Inflation-Linked
Gilt
Bonds
as
collateral
for
derivatives.
b
In
some
instances,
the
collateral
amounts
disclosed
in
the
table
above
were
adjusted
due
to
the
requirement
to
limit
collateral
amounts
to
avoid
the
effect
of
over
collateralization.
Actual
collateral
received
and/or
pledged
may
be
more
than
the
amounts
disclosed
herein.

Semiannual
Report
Share
Repurchase
Program
The
Fund’s
Board
previously
authorized
the
Fund
to
repurchase
up
to
10%
of
the
Fund’s
outstanding
shares
in
open-market
transactions,
at
the
discretion
of
management.
This
authorization
remains
in
effect.
In
exercising
its
discretion
consistent
with
its
portfolio
management
responsibilities,
the
investment
manager
will
take
into
account
various
other
factors,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
the
level
of
the
discount,
the
Fund’s
performance,
portfolio
holdings,
dividend
history,
market
conditions,
cash
on
hand,
the
availability
of
other
attractive
investments
and
whether
the
sale
of
certain
portfolio
securities
would
be
undesirable
because
of
liquidity
concerns
or
because
the
sale
might
subject
the
Fund
to
adverse
tax
consequences.
Any
repurchases
would
be
made
on
a
national
securities
exchange
at
the
prevailing
market
price,
subject
to
exchange
requirements,
Federal
securities
laws
and
rules
that
restrict
repurchases,
and
the
terms
of
any
outstanding
leverage
or
borrowing
of
the
Fund.
If
and
when
the
Fund’s
10%
threshold
is
reached,
no
further
repurchases
could
be
completed
until
authorized
by
the
Board.
Until
the
10%
threshold
is
reached,
Fund
management
will
have
the
flexibility
to
commence
share
repurchases
if
and
when
it
is
determined
to
be
appropriate
in
light
of
prevailing
circumstances.
In
the
Notes

for

information
regarding
shares
repurchased.
Managed
Distribution
Plan
On
March
10,
2021,
the
Fund
announced
the
implementation
of
a
managed
distribution
plan,
effective
April
1,
2021,
whereby
the
Fund
will
make
monthly
distributions
to
shareholders
at
an
annual
minimum
fixed
rate
of
7.5%,
based
on
the
average
monthly
net
asset
value
(NAV)
of
the
Fund’s
common
shares.
The
Fund
will
calculate
the
average
NAV
from
the
previous
month
based
on
the
number
of
business
days
in
that
month
on
which
the
NAV
is
calculated.
The
distribution
will
be
calculated
as
7.5%
of
the
previous
month’s
average
NAV,
divided
by
12.
Management
will
generally
distribute
amounts
necessary
to
satisfy
the
Fund’s
plan
and
the
requirements
prescribed
by
excise
tax
rules
and
Subchapter
M
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code.
The
plan
is
intended
to
provide
shareholders
with
a
constant,
but
not
guaranteed,
fixed
minimum
rate
of
distribution
each
month
and
is
intended
to
narrow
the
discount
between
the
market
price
and
the
NAV
of
the
Fund’s
common
shares,
but
there
is
no
assurance
that
the
plan
will
be
successful
in
doing
so.
Under
the
managed
distribution
plan,
to
the
extent
that
sufficient
investment
income
is
not
available
on
a
monthly
basis,
the
Fund
will
distribute
long-term
capital
gains
and/or
return
of
capital
in
order
to
maintain
its
managed
distribution
rate.
No
conclusions
should
be
drawn
about
the
Fund’s
investment
performance
from
the
amount
of
the
Fund’s
distributions
or
from
the
terms
of
the
Fund’s
managed
distribution
plan.
The
Fund’s
Board
of
Trustees
(the
“Board”)
may
amend
the
terms
of
the
plan
or
terminate
the
plan
at
any
time.
The
amendment
or
termination
of
the
plan
could
have
an
adverse
effect
on
the
market
price
of
the
Fund’s
common
shares.
The
plan
will
be
subject
to
the
periodic
review
by
the
Board,
including
a
yearly
review
of
the
annual
minimum
fixed
rate
to
determine
if
an
adjustment
should
be
made.
In
compliance
with
Rule
19a-1
of
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
shareholders
will
receive
a
notice
that
details
the
source
of
income
for
each
dividend
such
as
net
investment
income,
gain
from
the
sale
of
securities
and
return
of
principal.
However,
determination
of
the
actual
source
of
the
Fund’s
dividend
can
only
be
made
at
year-end.
The
actual
source
amounts
of
all
Fund
dividends
will
be
included
in
the
Fund’s
annual
or
semiannual
reports.
In
addition,
the
tax
treatment
may
differ
from
the
accounting
treatment
used
to
calculate
the
source
of
the
Fund’s
dividends
as
shown
on
shareholders’
statements.
Shareholders
should
refer
to
their Form
1099-DIV
for
the
character
and
amount
of
distributions
for
income
tax
reporting
purposes.
Since
each
shareholder’s
tax
situation
is
unique,
it
may
be
advisable
to
consult
a
tax
advisor
as
to
the
appropriate
treatment
of
Fund
distributions.

the
semiannual
report
The
Fund
offers
a
Dividend
Reinvestment
and
Cash
Purchase
Plan
(the
“Plan”)
with
the
following
features:
Shareholders
must
affirmatively
elect
to
participate
in
the
Plan.
If
you
decide
to
use
this
service,
dividends
and
capital
gains
distributions
will
be
reinvested
automatically
in
shares
of
the
Fund
for
your
account.
Whenever
the
Fund
declares
dividends
in
either
cash
or
shares
of
the
Fund,
if
the
market
price
is
equal
to
or
exceeds
net
asset
value
at
the
valuation
date,
the
participant
will
receive
the
dividends
entirely
in
new
shares
at
a
price
equal
to
the
net
asset
value,
but
not
less
than
95%
of
the
then
current
market
price
of
the
Fund’s
shares.
If
the
market
price
is
lower
than
net
asset
value
or
if
dividends
and/or
capital
gains
distributions
are
payable
only
in
cash,
the
participant
will
receive
shares
purchased
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
or
otherwise
on
the
open
market.
A
participant
has
the
option
of
submitting
additional
cash
payments
to
the
Plan
Administrator,
in
any
amounts
of
at
least
$100,
up
to
a
maximum
of
$5,000
per
month,
for
the
purchase
of
Fund
shares
for
his
or
her
account.
These
payments
can
be
made
by
check
payable
to
American
Stock
Transfer

and
sent

service
charge
and
less
a
pro

share
of
trading
fees)
to
purchases
of
Fund
shares
on
the
open
market.
The
automatic
reinvestment
of
dividends
and/or
capital
gains
does
not
relieve
the
participant
of
any
income
tax
that
may
be
payable
on
dividends
or
distributions.
Whenever
shares
are
purchased
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
or

on
the
open
market,
each
participant
will
pay
a
pro
rata
portion
of
trading
fees.
Trading
fees
will
be
deducted
from
amounts
to
be
invested.
The
Plan
Administrator’s
fee
for
a
sale
of
shares
through
the
Plan
is
$15.00
per
transaction
plus
a
$0.12
per
share
trading
fee.
A
participant
may
withdraw
from
the
Plan
without
penalty
at
any
time
by
written
notice

the

will
receive,
without
charge,
share
certificates
issued
in
the
participant’s
name
for
all
full
shares
held
by
the
Plan
Administrator;
or,
if
the
participant
wishes,
the
Plan
Administrator
will
sell
the
participant’s
shares
and
send
the
proceeds
to
the
participant,
less
a
service
charge
of
$15.00
and
less
trading
fees
of
$0.12
per
share.
The
Plan
Administrator
will
convert
any
fractional
shares
held
at
the
time
of

as
defined
in

Company
Act
of
1940
(Independent

reviewed
and
approved
the
continuance
of

between
Franklin
Advisers,
Inc.
(Manager)
and
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund
(Management
Agreement)
for
an
additional
one-year
period.
The
Independent
Trustees
received
advice
from
and
met
separately
with
Independent
Trustee
counsel
in
considering
whether
to
approve
the
continuation
of
the
Management
Agreement.
In
considering
the
continuation
of
the
Management
Agreement,
the
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
provided
by
the
Manager
at
the
Meeting
and
throughout
the
year
at
meetings
of
the
Board
and
its
committees.
The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
information
provided
in
response
to
a
detailed
set
of
requests
for
information
submitted
to
the
Manager
by
Independent
Trustee
counsel
on
behalf
of
the
Independent
Trustees
in
connection
with
the
annual
contract
renewal
process.
In
addition,
prior
to
the
Meeting,
the
Independent
Trustees
held
a
telephonic
contract
renewal
meeting
at
which
the
Independent
Trustees
conferred
amongst
themselves
and
Independent
Trustee
counsel
about
contract
renewal
matters
and,
in
some
cases,
requested
additional
information
from
the
Manager
relating
to
the
contract.
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
all
of
the
factors
it
deemed
relevant
in
approving
the
continuance
of
the
Management
Agreement,
including,
but
not
limited
to:
(i)
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided
by

Manager;
(ii)
the

the
services
provided
and
profits
realized

and
its

from
the
relationship
with
the
Fund;
(iv)
the
extent
to
which
economies
of
scale
are
realized
as
the
Fund
grows;
and
(v)
whether
fee
levels
reflect
these
economies
of
scale
for
the
benefit
of
Fund
investors.
In
approving
the
continuance
of
the
Management
Agreement,
the
Board,
including
a
majority
of
the
Independent
Trustees,
determined
that
the
terms
of
the

are
fair
and
reasonable
and
that
the
continuance
of
such
Management
Agreement
is
in
the
best
interests
of
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
While
attention
was
given
to
all
information
furnished,
the
following
discusses
some
primary
factors
relevant
to
the
Board’s
determination.
Nature,
Extent
and
Quality
of
Services
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
regarding
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
investment
management
services
provided
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
to
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
This
information
included,
among
other
things,
the
qualifications,
background
and
experience
of
the
senior
management
and
investment
personnel
of
the
Manager,
as
well
as
information
on
succession
planning
where
appropriate;
the
structure
of
investment
personnel
compensation;
oversight
of
third-
party
service
providers;
investment
performance
reports
and
related
financial
information
for
the
Fund;
reports
on
expenses
and
shareholder
services;
legal
and
compliance
matters;
risk
controls;
pricing
and
other
services
provided
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates;
and
management
fees
charged
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
to
US
funds
and
other
accounts,
including
management’s
explanation
of
differences
among
accounts
where
relevant.
The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
an
annual
report
on
payments
made
by
Franklin
Templeton
(FT)
or
the
Fund
to
financial
intermediaries,
as
well
as
a
memorandum
relating
to
third-
party
servicing
arrangements,
which
included
discussion
of
the
changing
distribution
landscape
for
the
Fund.
The
Board
noted
management’s
continuing
efforts
and
expenditures
in
establishing
effective
business
continuity
plans
and
developing
strategies
to
address
areas
of
heightened
concern
in
the
mutual
fund
industry,
such
as
cybersecurity
in
the
current
work-from-home
environment
and
liquidity
risk
management.
The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
the
benefits
provided
to
Fund
shareholders
of
investing
in
a
fund
that
is
part
of
the
FT
family
of
funds.
The
Board
noted
the
financial
position
of
Franklin
Resources,
Inc.
(FRI),
the
Manager’s
parent,
and
its
commitment
to
the
mutual
fund
business
as
evidenced
by
its
reassessment
of
the
fund
offerings
in
response
to
the
market
environment
and
project
initiatives
and
capital
investments
relating
to
the
services
provided
to
the
Fund
by
the
FT
organization.
The
Board
specifically
noted
FT’s
commitment
to
enhancing
services
and
controlling
costs,
as
reflected
in
its
outsourcing
of
certain
administrative
functions,
and
growth
opportunities,

Semiannual

as
evidenced
by
its

Board
also
noted
FT’s
attention
focused
on
expanding
the
distribution
opportunities
for
all
funds
in
the
FT
family
of
funds.
Following
consideration
of
such
information,
the
Board
was
satisfied
with
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
to
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.

and
considered
the

Board
noted
that
the
Fund’s
annualized
income
return
for
the
one-,
three-,
five-
and
10-year
periods
was
above
the
medians
and
in
the
first
quintile
(best)
of
its
Performance
Universe
and
Performance
Customized
Peer
Group.
The
Board
also
noted
that
the
Fund’s
annualized
total
return
for
the
one-,
three-,
five-
and
10-year
periods
was
below
the
medians
and
primarily
in
the
fifth
quintile
(worst)
of
its
Performance
Universe
and
Performance
Customized
Peer
Group.
The
Board
discussed
this
performance
with
management
and
management
explained
that
the
relative
underperformance
of
the
Fund,
including
for
longer
periods,
is
largely
(though
not
exclusively)
due
to
the
Fund’s
underperformance
in
2019
and
2020.
Management
further
explained
that
during
these
two
years
the
Fund’s
underperformance
was
due,
in
part,
to
the
Fund’s
strategies
for
potential
rising
interest
rates
by
maintaining
low
portfolio
duration
in
the
US,
Europe
and,
in
2019,
Japan.
Management
also
explained
that
the
Fund’s
exposure
to
Argentina
in
2019,
to
a
lesser
extent,
contributed
to
the
underperformance.
Management
further
explained
that,
in
2020,
the
Fund’s
underweight
currency
positions
in
the
Euro
and
the
Australian
dollar,
as
well
as
certain
currency
positions
in
Latin
America,
also
contributed
to
the
underperformance.
The
Board,
however,
noted
that
the
Fund
was
in
the
first
or
second
quintile
in
terms
of
total
return
performance
relative
to
the
Fund’s
Customized
Peer
Group
in
6
out
of
7
years
from
2012
through
2018
and
that
management
has
continued
to
add
resources
to
the
portfolio
management
team
as
needed
and
that
the
sources
of
analysis
and
input
have
continued
to
expand.
Management
also
explained
that
the
Performance
Universe
was
comprised
of
funds
that
invest
in
debt
securities
of
issuers
located
in
at
least
three
countries,
excluding
the
US,
whereas
the
Performance
Customized
Peer
Group
was
comprised
of
funds
that,
like
the
Fund,
invest
in
debt
securities
of
issuers
located
in
at
least
three
countries,
one
of
which
may
be
the
US.
Management
then
discussed
with
the
Board
recent
adjustments
that
have
been
made
to
the
Fund’s
portfolio
positions
in
light
of
current
market
conditions.
The
Board
also
noted
the
Fund’s
first
(best)
and
second
quintile
annualized
income
return
compared
to
that
of
its
Performance
Universe
and
Performance
Customized
Peer
Group
for
all
periods.
The
Board
concluded
that
the
Fund’s
Management
Agreement
should
be
continued
for
an
additional
one-year
period,
and
management’s
efforts
should
continue
to
be
monitored.
Comparative
Fees
and
Expenses
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
regarding
the
Fund’s
actual
total
expense
ratio
and
its
various
components,
including,
as
applicable,
management
fees;
transfer
agent
expenses;
underlying
fund
expenses;
Rule
12b-1
and
non-Rule
12b-1
service
fees;
and
other
non-
management
fees.
The
Board
also
noted
the
quarterly
and
annual
reports
it
receives
on
all
marketing
support
payments
made
by
FT
to
financial
intermediaries.
The
Board
considered
the
actual
total
expense
ratio
and,
separately,
the
contractual
management
fee
rate,
without
the
effect
of
fee
waivers,
if
any
(Management
Rate)
of
the
Fund
in
comparison
to
the
median
expense
ratio
and
median
Management
Rate,
respectively,
of
other
mutual
funds
deemed
comparable
to
and
with
a
similar
expense
structure
to
the
Fund
selected
by
Broadridge
(Expense
Group).
Broadridge
fee
and
expense
data
is
based
upon
information
taken
from
each
fund’s
most
recent
annual
report,
which
reflects
historical
asset
levels
that
may
be
quite
different
from
those
currently
existing,
particularly
in
a
period
of
market
volatility.
While
recognizing
such
inherent
limitation
and
the
fact
that
expense
ratios
and
Management
Rates
generally
increase
as
assets
decline
and
decrease
as
assets
grow,
the
Board
believed
the
independent
analysis
conducted
by
Templeton
Global
Income
Fund
Shareholder
Information
44
franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
Broadridge
to
be
an
appropriate
measure
of
comparative
fees
and
expenses.
The
Broadridge
Management
Rate
includes
administrative
charges,
and
the
actual
total
expense
ratio,
for
comparative
consistency,
was
shown
for
Class
A
shares
for
the
Fund
and
for
each
other
fund
in
the
Expense
Group.
The
Board
received
a
description
of
the
methodology
used
by
Broadridge
to
select
the
mutual
funds
included
in
an
Expense
Group.
The
Expense
Group
for
the
Fund
included
the
Fund
and
eight
other
international
income
funds.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Management
Rate
and
actual
total
expense
ratio
for
the
Fund
were
below
the
medians
and
in
the
first
quintile
(least
expensive)
of
its
Expense
Group.
The
Board
concluded
that
the
Management
Rate
charged
to
the
Fund
is
reasonable.
Profitability
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
regarding
the
profits
realized
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
in
connection
with
the
operation
of
the
Fund.
In
this
respect,
the
Board
considered
the
Fund
profitability
analysis
provided
by
the
Manager
that
addresses
the
overall
profitability
of
FT’s
US
fund
business,
as
well
as
its
profits
in
providing
investment
management
and
other
services
to
each
of
the
individual
funds
during
the
12-month
period
ended
September
30,
2020,
being
the
most
recent
fiscal
year-
end
for
FRI.
The
Board
noted
that
although
management
continually
makes
refinements
to
its
methodologies
used
in
calculating
profitability
in
response
to
organizational
and
product-related
changes,
the
overall
methodology
has
remained
consistent
with
that
used
in
the
Fund’s
profitability
report
presentations
from
prior
years.
The
Board
further
noted
management’s
representation
that
the
profitability
analysis
excluded
the
impact
of
the
recent
acquisition
of
the
Legg
Mason
companies
and
that
management
expects
to
incorporate
the
legacy
Legg
Mason
companies
into
the
profitability
analysis
beginning
next
year.
The
Board
also
noted
that
PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP,
auditor
to
FRI
and
certain
FT
funds,
has
been
engaged
by
the
Manager
to
periodically
review
and
assess
the
allocation
methodologies
to
be
used
solely
by
the
Fund’s
Board
with
respect
to
the
profitability
analysis.
The
Board
noted
management’s
belief
that
costs
incurred
in
establishing
the
infrastructure
necessary
for
the
type
of
mutual
fund
operations
conducted
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
may
not
be
fully
reflected
in
the
expenses
allocated
to
the
Fund
in
determining
its
profitability,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
the
level
of
profits,
to
a
certain
extent,
reflected
operational
cost
savings
and
efficiencies
initiated
by
management.
As
part
of
this
evaluation,
the
Board
considered
management’s
outsourcing
of
certain
operations,
which
effort
has
required
considerable
up-front
expenditures
by
the
Manager
but,
over
the
long
run
is
expected
to
result
in
greater
efficiencies.
The
Board
also
noted
management’s
expenditures
in
improving
shareholder
services
provided
to
the
Fund,
as
well
as
the
need
to
implement
systems
and
meet
additional
regulatory
and
compliance
requirements
resulting
from
recent
US
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
other
regulatory
requirements.
The
Board
also
considered
the
extent
to
which
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
might
derive
ancillary
benefits
from
fund
operations,
including
revenues
generated
from
transfer
agent
services,
potential
benefits
resulting
from
personnel
and
systems
enhancements
necessitated
by
fund
growth,
as
well
as
increased
leverage
with
service
providers
and
counterparties.
Based
upon
its
consideration
of
all
these
factors,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
level
of
profits
realized
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
from
providing
services
to
the
Fund
was
not
excessive
in
view
of
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
to
the
Fund.
Economies
of
Scale
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
the
extent
to
which
the
Manager
may
realize
economies
of
scale,
if
any,
as
the
Fund
grows
larger
and
whether
the
Fund’s
management
fee
structure
reflects
any
economies
of
scale
for
the
benefit
of
shareholders.
With
respect
to
possible
economies
of
scale,
the
Board
noted
the
existence
of
management
fee
breakpoints,
which
operate
generally
to
share
any
economies
of
scale
with
the
Fund’s
shareholders
by
reducing
the
Fund’s
effective
management
fees
as
the
Fund
grows
in
size.
The
Board
considered
the
Manager’s
view
that
any
analyses
of
potential
economies
of
scale
in
managing
a
particular
fund
are
inherently
limited
in
light
of
the
joint
and
common
costs
and
investments
the
Manager
incurs
across
the
FT
family
of
funds
as
a
whole.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Fund
had
experienced
a
decrease
in
assets
and
would
not
be
expected
to
demonstrate
additional
economies
of
scale
in
the
near
term,
but
concluded
that
to
the
extent
economies
of
scale
may
be
realized
by
a
Manager
and
its
affiliates,
the
Fund’s
management
fee
structure
provided
a
sharing
of
benefits
with
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders
as
the
Fund
grows.
Conclusion
Based
on
its
review,
consideration
and
evaluation
of
all
factors
it
believed
relevant,
including
the
above-described
factors
and
conclusions,
the
Board
unanimously
approved
the
continuation
of
the
Management
Agreement
for
an
additional
one-year
period.

or
if
the

If,
before

the
average

Item 7
. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
 
The board of trustees of the Fund has delegated the authority to vote proxies related to the portfolio securities held by the Fund to the Fund’s investment manager, Franklin Advisers, Inc., in accordance with the Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (Policies) adopted by the investment manager.
 
The investment manager has delegated its administrative duties with respect to the voting of proxies for securities to the Proxy Group within Franklin Templeton Companies, LLC (Proxy Group), an affiliate and wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. All proxies received by the Proxy Group will be voted based upon the investment manager’s instructions and/or policies. The investment manager votes proxies solely in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
To assist it in analyzing proxies of equity securities, the investment manager subscribes to Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. (ISS), an unaffiliated third-party corporate governance research service that provides in-depth analyses of shareholder meeting agendas, vote recommendations, vote execution services, ballot reconciliation services, recordkeeping and vote disclosure services. In addition, the investment manager subscribes to Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC (Glass Lewis), an unaffiliated third-party analytical research firm, to receive analyses and vote recommendations on the shareholder meetings of publicly held U.S. companies, as well as a limited subscription to its international research. Although analyses provided by ISS, Glass Lewis, and/or another independent third party proxy service provider (each a "Proxy Service") are thoroughly reviewed and considered in making a final voting decision, the investment manager does not consider recommendations from a Proxy Service or any third party to be determinative of the investment manager's ultimate decision. Rather, the investment manager exercises its independent judgment in making voting decisions. For most proxy proposals, the investment manager’s evaluation will result in the same position being taken for all Funds. In some cases, however, the evaluation may result in a Fund or investment manager voting differently, depending upon the nature and objective of the Fund, the composition of its portfolio, whether the investment manager has adopted a custom voting policy, and other factors. As a matter of policy, the officers, directors/trustees and employees of the investment manager and the Proxy Group will not be influenced by outside sources whose interests conflict with the interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Efforts are made to resolve all conflicts in the best interests of the investment manager’s clients. Material conflicts of interest are identified by the Proxy Group based upon analyses of client, distributor, broker-dealer and vendor lists, information periodically gathered from directors and officers, and information derived from other sources, including public filings. In situations where a material conflict of interest is identified, the Proxy Group may vote consistent with the voting recommendation of a Proxy Service; or send the proxy directly to the Fund's board or a committee of the board with the investment manager's recommendation regarding the vote for approval.
Where a material conflict of interest has been identified, but the items on which the investment manager’s vote recommendations differ from a Proxy Service and relate specifically to (1) shareholder proposals regarding social or environmental issues, (2) “Other Business” without describing the matters that might be considered, or (3) items the investment manager wishes to vote in opposition to the recommendations of an issuer’s management, the Proxy Group may defer to the vote recommendations of the investment manager rather than sending the proxy directly to the Fund's board or a board committee for approval.
To avoid certain potential conflicts of interest, the investment manager will employ echo voting or pass-through voting, if possible, in the following instances: (1) when the Fund invests in an underlying fund in reliance on any one of Sections 12(d)(1)(F) or (G) of the 1940 Act, the rules thereunder, or pursuant to a SEC exemptive order thereunder; (2) when the Fund invests uninvested cash in affiliated money market funds pursuant to the rules under the 1940 Act or any exemptive orders thereunder (“cash sweep arrangement”); or (3) when required pursuant to the Fund’s governing documents or applicable law. Echo voting means that the investment manager will vote the shares in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of the underlying fund's shares. With respect to instances when a Franklin Templeton U.S. registered investment company invests in an underlying fund in reliance on any one of Sections 12(d)(1)(F) or (G) of the 1940 Act, the rules thereunder, or pursuant to an SEC exemptive order thereunder, and there are no other unaffiliated shareholders also invested in the underlying fund, the investment manager will vote in accordance with the recommendation of such investment company’s board of trustees or directors. In addition, to avoid certain potential conflicts of interest, and where required under a fund’s governing documents or applicable law, the investment manager will employ pass-through voting when a Franklin Templeton U.S. registered investment company invests in an underlying fund in reliance on Section 12(d)(1)(E) of the 1940 Act, the rules thereunder, or pursuant to an SEC exemptive order thereunder. In “pass-through voting,” a feeder fund will solicit voting instructions from its shareholders as to how to vote on the master fund’s proposals. If a Franklin Templeton investment company becomes a holder of more than 25% of the shares on a non-affiliated fund, as a result of a decrease in the outstanding shares of the non-affiliated fund, then the investment manager will vote the shares in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of the non-affiliated fund.
The recommendation of management on any issue is a factor that the investment manager considers in determining how proxies should be voted. However, the investment manager does not consider recommendations from management to be determinative of the investment manager’s ultimate decision. As a matter of practice, the votes with respect to most issues are cast in accordance with the position of the company's management. Each issue, however, is considered on its own merits, and the investment manager will not support the position of the company's management in any situation where it deems that the ratification of management’s position would adversely affect the investment merits of owning that company’s shares.
Engagement with issuers
. The investment manager believes that engagement with issuers is important to good corporate governance and to assist in making proxy voting decisions. The investment manager may engage with issuers to discuss specific ballot items to be voted on in advance of an annual or special meeting to obtain further information or clarification on the proposals. The investment manager may also engage with management on a range of environmental, social or corporate governance issues throughout the year.
Investment manager’s proxy voting policies and principles
 The investment manager has adopted general proxy voting guidelines, which are summarized below. These guidelines are not an exhaustive list of all the issues that may arise and the investment manager cannot anticipate all future situations. In all cases, each proxy and proposal (including both management and shareholder proposals) will be considered based on the relevant facts and circumstances on a case-by-case basis.
Board of directors
. The investment manager supports an independent, diverse board of directors, and prefers that key committees such as audit, nominating, and compensation committees be comprised of independent directors. The investment manager supports boards with strong risk management oversight. The investment manager will generally vote against management efforts to classify a board and will generally support proposals to declassify the board of directors. The investment manager will consider withholding votes from directors who have attended less than 75% of meetings without a valid reason. While generally in favor of separating Chairman and CEO positions, the investment manager will review this issue as well as proposals to restore or provide for cumulative voting on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration factors such as the company’s corporate governance guidelines or provisions and performance. The investment manager generally will support non-binding shareholder proposals to require a majority vote standard for the election of directors; however, if these proposals are binding, the investment manager will give careful review on a case-by-case basis of the potential ramifications of such implementation.
In the event of a contested election, the investment manager will review a number of factors in making a decision including management’s track record, the company’s financial performance, qualifications of candidates on both slates, and the strategic plan of the dissidents and/or shareholder nominees.
Ratification of auditors of portfolio companies
. The investment manager will closely scrutinize the independence, role and performance of auditors. On a case-by-case basis, the investment manager will examine proposals relating to non-audit relationships and non-audit fees. The investment manager will also consider, on a case-by-case basis, proposals to rotate auditors, and will vote against the ratification of auditors when there is clear and compelling evidence of a lack of independence, accounting irregularities or negligence. The investment manager may also consider whether the ratification of auditors has been approved by an appropriate audit committee that meets applicable composition and independence requirements.
Management and director compensation
. A company’s equity-based compensation plan should be in alignment with the shareholders’ long-term interests. The investment manager believes that executive compensation should be directly linked to the performance of the company. The investment manager evaluates plans on a case-by-case basis by considering several factors to determine whether the plan is fair and reasonable, including the ISS quantitative model utilized to assess such plans and/or the Glass Lewis evaluation of the plans. The investment manager will generally oppose plans that have the potential to be excessively dilutive, and will almost always oppose plans that are structured to allow the repricing of underwater options, or plans that have an automatic share replenishment “evergreen” feature. The investment manager will generally support employee stock option plans in which the purchase price is at least 85% of fair market value, and when potential dilution is 10% or less.
Severance compensation arrangements will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, although the investment manager will generally oppose “golden parachutes” that are considered to be excessive. The investment manager will normally support proposals that require a percentage of directors’ compensation to be in the form of common stock, as it aligns their interests with those of shareholders.
The investment manager will review non-binding say-on-pay proposals on a case-by-case basis, and will generally vote in favor of such proposals unless compensation is misaligned with performance and/or shareholders’ interests, the company has not provided reasonably clear disclosure regarding its compensation practices, or there are concerns with the company’s remuneration practices.
Anti-takeover mechanisms and related issues
.  The investment manager generally opposes anti-takeover measures since they tend to reduce shareholder rights. However, as with all proxy issues, the investment manager conducts an independent review of each anti-takeover proposal. On occasion, the investment manager may vote with management when the research analyst has concluded that the proposal is not onerous and would not harm the Fund or its shareholders’ interests. The investment manager generally supports proposals that require shareholder rights’ plans (often referred to as “poison pills”) to be subject to a shareholder vote and will closely evaluate such plans on a case-by-case basis to determine whether or not they warrant support. In addition, the investment manager will generally vote against any proposal to issue stock that has unequal or subordinate voting rights. The investment manager generally opposes any supermajority voting requirements as well as the payment of “greenmail.” The investment manager generally supports “fair price” provisions and confidential voting. The investment manager will review a company’s proposal to reincorporate to a different state or country on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration financial benefits such as tax treatment as well as comparing corporate governance provisions and general business laws that may result from the change in domicile.
Changes to capital structure
. The investment manager realizes that a company's financing decisions have a significant impact on its shareholders, particularly when they involve the issuance of additional shares of common or preferred stock or the assumption of additional debt. The investment manager will review, on a case-by-case basis, proposals by companies to increase authorized shares and the purpose for the increase. The investment manager will generally not vote in favor of dual-class capital structures to increase the number of authorized shares where that class of stock would have superior voting rights. The investment manager will generally vote in favor of the issuance of preferred stock in cases where the company specifies the voting, dividend, conversion and other rights of such stock and the terms of the preferred stock issuance are deemed reasonable. The investment manager will review proposals seeking preemptive rights on a case-by-case basis.
Mergers and corporate restructuring
. Mergers and acquisitions will be subject to careful review by the research analyst to determine whether they would be beneficial to shareholders. The investment manager will analyze various economic and strategic factors in making the final decision on a merger or acquisition. Corporate restructuring proposals are also subject to a thorough examination on a case-by-case basis.
Environmental and social issues
.  The investment manager considers environmental and social issues alongside traditional financial measures to provide a more comprehensive view of the value, risk and return potential of an investment. Companies may face significant financial, legal and reputational risks resulting from poor environmental and social practices, or negligent oversight of environmental or social issues. Franklin Templeton’s “Responsible Investment Principles and Policies” describes the investment manager’s approach to consideration of environmental, social and governance issues within the investment manager’s processes and ownership practices.
Shareholder proposals.
The investment manager will review shareholder proposals on a case-by-case basis and may support those that serve to enhance value or mitigate risk, are drafted appropriately, and do not disrupt the course of business or require a disproportionate or inappropriate use of company resources.
In the investment manager’s experience, those companies that are managed well are often effective in dealing with the relevant environmental and social issues that pertain to their business. As such, the investment manager will generally give management discretion with regard to environmental and social issues. However, in cases where management and the board have not demonstrated adequate efforts to mitigate material environmental or social risks, have engaged in inappropriate or illegal conduct, or have failed to adequately address current or emergent risks that threaten shareholder value, the investment manager may choose to support well-crafted shareholder proposals that serve to promote or protect shareholder value. This may include seeking appropriate disclosure regarding material environmental and social issues.
The investment manager will consider supporting a shareholder proposal seeking disclosure and greater board oversight of lobbying and corporate political contributions if the investment manager believes that there is evidence of inadequate oversight by the company’s board, if the company’s current disclosure is significantly deficient, or if the disclosure is notably lacking in comparison to the company’s peers.
Governance matters
. The investment manager generally supports the right of shareholders to call special meetings and act by written consent. However, the investment manager will review such shareholder proposals on a case-by-case basis in an effort to ensure that such proposals do not disrupt the course of business or require a disproportionate or inappropriate use of company resources.
Proxy access
. In cases where the investment manager is satisfied with company performance and the responsiveness of management, it will generally vote against shareholder proxy access proposals not supported by management. In other instances, the investment manager will consider such proposals on a case-by-case basis, taking into account factors such as the size of the company, ownership thresholds and holding periods, nomination limits (e.g., number of candidates that can be nominated), the intentions of the shareholder proponent, and shareholder base.
Global corporate governance
. Many of the tenets discussed above are applied to the investment manager's proxy voting decisions for international investments. However, the investment manager must be flexible in these worldwide markets. Principles of good corporate governance may vary by country, given the constraints of a country’s laws and acceptable practices in the markets. As a result, it is on occasion difficult to apply a consistent set of governance practices to all issuers. As experienced money managers, the investment manager's analysts are skilled in understanding the complexities of the regions in which they specialize and are trained to analyze proxy issues germane to their regions.
The investment manager will generally attempt to process every proxy it receives for all domestic and foreign securities. However, there may be situations in which the investment manager may be unable to successfully vote a proxy, or may choose not to vote a proxy, such as where: (i) a proxy ballot was not received from the custodian bank; (ii) a meeting notice was received too late; (iii) there are fees imposed upon the exercise of a vote and it is determined that such fees outweigh the benefit of voting; (iv) there are legal encumbrances to voting, including blocking restrictions in certain markets that preclude the ability to dispose of a security if the investment manager votes a proxy or where the investment manager is prohibited from voting by applicable law, economic or other sanctions, or other regulatory or market requirements, including but not limited to, effective Powers of Attorney; (v) additional documentation or the disclosure of beneficial owner details is required; (vi) the investment manager held shares on the record date but has sold them prior to the meeting date; (vii) a proxy voting service is not offered by the custodian in the market; (viii) due to either system error or human error, the investment manager’s intended vote is not correctly submitted; (ix) the investment manager believes it is not in the best interest of the Fund or its shareholders to vote the proxy for any other reason not enumerated herein; or (x) a security is subject to a securities lending or similar program that has transferred legal title to the security to another person.
In some non-U.S. jurisdictions, even if the investment manager uses reasonable efforts to vote a proxy on behalf of the Fund, such vote or proxy may be rejected because of (a) operational or procedural issues experienced by one or more third parties involved in voting proxies in such jurisdictions; (b) changes in the process or agenda for the meeting by the issuer for which the investment manager does not have sufficient notice; or (c) the exercise by the issuer of its discretion to reject the vote of the investment manager. In addition, despite the best efforts of the Proxy Group and its agents, there may be situations where the investment manager's votes are not received, or properly tabulated, by an issuer or the issuer's agent.
The investment manager or its affiliates may, on behalf of one or more of the proprietary registered investment companies advised by the investment manager or its affiliates, determine to use its best efforts to recall any security on loan where the investment manager or its affiliates (a) learn of a vote on a material event that may affect a security on loan and (b) determine that it is in the best interests of such proprietary registered investment companies to recall the security for voting purposes.
Procedures for meetings involving fixed income securities & privately held issuers
.  From time to time, certain custodians may process events for fixed income securities through their proxy voting channels rather than corporate action channels for administrative convenience. In such cases, the Proxy Group will receive ballots for such events on the ISS voting platform. The Proxy Group will solicit voting instructions from the investment manager for each Fund involved. If the Proxy Group does not receive voting instructions from the investment manager, the Proxy Group will take no action on the event. The investment manager may be unable to vote a proxy for a fixed income security, or may choose not to vote a proxy, for the reasons described above.
In the rare instance where there is a vote for a privately held issuer, the decision will generally be made by the relevant portfolio managers or research analysts.
The Proxy Group will monitor such meetings involving fixed income securities or privately held issuers for conflicts of interest in accordance with these procedures. If a fixed income or privately held issuer is flagged as a potential conflict of interest, the investment manager may nonetheless vote as it deems in the best interests of the Fund. The investment manager will report such decisions on an annual basis to the Fund board as may be required.

Alternatively, shareholders may request copies of the Policies free of charge by calling the Proxy Group collect at (954) 527-7678 or by sending a written request to: Franklin Templeton Companies, LLC, 300 S.E. 2nd Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301-1923, Attention: Proxy Group.

The Registrant maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Registrant’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of 1940 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such information is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Registrant’s management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, recognizes that any set of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Within 90 days prior to the filing date of this Shareholder Report on Form N-CSR, the Registrant had carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Registrant’s management, including the Registrant’s principal executive officer and the Registrant’s principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the Registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
(b) Changes in Internal Controls.
There have been no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect the internal control over financial reporting.

Revised December 19, 2014
 

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON FUNDS

 
CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVES AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS

I.
            
Covered Officers and Purpose of the
Code

 
This code of ethics (the "Code") applies to the Principal Executive Officers, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer (the "Covered Officers," each of whom is set forth in Exhibit A) of each investment company advised by a Franklin Resources subsidiary and that is registered with the United States Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (collectively, "FT Funds") for the purpose of promoting:
 
·
        
Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical resolution of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional
relationships;
·
        
Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents
that a registrant files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by or on behalf of the FT
Funds;
·
        
Compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and
regulations;
·
        
The prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code;
and
·
        
Accountability for adherence to the
Code.
 
Each Covered Officer will be expected to adhere to a high standard of business ethics and must be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.
 
 
 
 
*
Rule
38a-1
under
the Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(“1940
Act”)
and
Rule
206(4)-7
under
the
Investment
Advisers
Act
of 1940 (“Advisers Act”) (together the “Compliance Rule”) require registered investment companies and registered investment advisers to, among other things, adopt and implement written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws (“Compliance Rule Policies and
Procedures”).
 
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. This document is the proprietary product of Franklin Templeton Investments. It may NOT be distributed outside the company unless it is made subject to a non-disclosure agreement and/or such release receives authorization by an FTI Chief Compliance Officer. Any unauthorized use, reproduction or transfer of this document is strictly prohibited. Franklin Templeton Investments © 2014. All Rights

II.
            
Other Policies and
Procedures

 
This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder.
 
Franklin Resources, Inc. has separately adopted the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (“Business Conduct”), which is applicable to all officers, directors and employees of Franklin Resources, Inc., including Covered Officers. It summarizes the values, principles and business practices that guide the employee’s business conduct and also provides a set of basic principles to guide officers, directors and employees regarding the minimum ethical requirements expected of them. It supplements the values, principles and business conduct identified in the Code and other existing employee
policies.
 
Additionally, the Franklin Templeton Funds have separately adopted the FTI Personal Investments and Insider Trading Policy governing personal securities trading and other related matters. The Code for Insider Trading provides for separate requirements that apply to the Covered Officers and others, and therefore is not part of this Code.
 
Insofar as other policies or procedures of Franklin Resources, Inc., the Funds, the Funds’ adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superceded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. Please review these other documents or consult with the Legal Department if have questions regarding the applicability of these policies to
you.
 

III.
            
Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

 
Overview. A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's private interest interferes with the interests of, or his or her service to, the FT Funds. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of apposition with the FT Funds.
 
Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the FT Funds and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Investment Company Act") and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Investment Advisers Act"). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the FT Funds because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the FT Funds. The FT Funds’ and the investment advisers’ compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.
 
Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the FT Funds, the investment advisers and the fund administrator of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the FT Funds, for the adviser, the administrator, or

2


for all three), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the adviser, administrator and the FT Funds. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the FT Funds, the adviser, and the administrator and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the FT Funds. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the FT Funds' Boards of Directors ("Boards") that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.
 
Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the FT Funds.
 
Each Covered Officer must:
·
        
Not use his or her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the FT Funds whereby the Covered
Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the FT
Funds;
·
        
Not cause the FT Funds to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit the FT
Funds;
·
        
Not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the FT Funds or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good
faith;
·
        
Report at least annually the following affiliations or other
relationships:
1
o
   
all directorships for public companies and all companies that are required to file reports with the
SEC;
o
   
any direct or indirect business relationship with any independent directors of
the FT
Funds;
o
   
any direct or indirect business relationship with any independent public accounting firm (which are not related to the routine issues related to the
firm’s service as the Covered Persons accountant);
and
o
   
any direct or indirect interest in any transaction with any FT Fund that will benefit the officer (not including benefits derived from the advisory, sub-advisory, distribution or service agreements with affiliates of Franklin
Resources).
These reports will be reviewed by the Legal Department for compliance with the Code.
There are some conflict of interest situations that should always be approved in writing by Franklin Resources General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel, if material. Examples of these include
2
:
·
        
Service as a director on the board of any public or private
Company.
 

1
 
Reporting
of
these
affiliations
or
other
relationships
shall
be
made
by
completing
the
annual
Directors
and
Officers
Questionnaire and returning the questionnaire to Franklin Resources Inc, General Counsel or Deputy General
Counsel.
2
    
Any
activity
or
relationship
that
would
present
a
conflict
for
a
Covered Officer
may
also
present
a
conflict
for
the
Covered Officer
if a member of the Covered Officer's immediate family engages in such an activity or has such a relationship. The Cover Person should also obtain written approval by FT’s General Counsel in such situations.
 

3


·
        
The receipt of any gifts in excess of $100 from any person, from any corporation
or association.
·
        
The receipt of any entertainment from any Company with which the FT Funds has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise
any question of impropriety. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Covered Officers must obtain prior approval from the Franklin Resources General Counsel for any entertainment with a value in excess of
$1000.
·
        
Any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of
the FT Fund’s service providers, other than an investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated person
thereof.
·
        
A direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the FT Funds for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer's employment, such as compensation or equity
ownership.
·
        
Franklin Resources General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel will provide a report
to the FT Funds Audit Committee of any approvals granted at the next regularly scheduled meeting.
 

IV.
            
Disclosure and
Compliance

·
        
Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself with the disclosure
requirements generally applicable to the FT
Funds;
·
        
Each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the FT Funds to others, whether within or outside the FT Funds, including to the FT Funds’ directors and auditors, and to governmental
regulators and self-regulatory
organizations;
·
        
Each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the FT Funds, the FT Fund’s adviser and the administrator with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the FT Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the FT Funds;
and
·
        
It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and
regulations.
 

V.
            
Reporting and Accountability

 
Each Covered Officer must:
·
        
Upon becoming a covered officer affirm in writing to the Board that he or she has received, read, and understands the Code (see Exhibit
B);
·
        
Annually thereafter affirm to the Board that he has complied with the requirements of
the Code;
and
·
        
Notify Franklin Resources’ General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel promptly if he or she knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself is a violation of
this

4


Code.
Franklin Resources’ General Counsel and Deputy General Counsel are responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and have the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation.
3
 
However, the Independent Directors of the respective FT Funds will consider any approvals or waivers
4
 
sought by any Chief Executive Officers of the Funds.
 
The FT Funds will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:
 
·
        
Franklin Resources General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel will take all
appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to the Legal
Department;
·
        
If, after such investigation, the General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel believes that no violation has occurred, The General Counsel is not required to take any
further action;
·
        
Any matter that the General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel believes is a
violation will be reported to the Independent Directors of the appropriate FT
Fund;
·
        
If the Independent Directors concur that a violation has occurred, it will inform and make a recommendation to the Board of the appropriate FT Fund or Funds, which will
consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered
Officer;
·
        
The Independent Directors will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate;
and
·
        
Any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, are disclosed
as provided by SEC
rules.

VI.
            
Other Policies and
Procedures

 
This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the FT Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the FT Funds, the FT Funds' advisers, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The FTI Personal Investments and Insider Trading Policy, adopted by the FT Funds, FT investment advisers and FT Fund’s principal underwriter pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act, the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and more detailed policies and procedures set forth in FT’s Employee Handbook are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this
Code.

Disclosure on Form
N-CSR
 
Item 2 of Form N-CSR requires a registered management investment company to disclose annually whether, as of the end of the period covered by the report, it has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these officers are employed by the registrant or a third party. If the registrant has not adopted such a code of ethics, it must explain why it has not done so.
The registrant must also: (1) file with the SEC a copy of the code as an exhibit to its annual report; (2) post the text of the code on its Internet website and disclose, in its most recent report on Form N-CSR, its Internet address and the fact that it has posted the code on its Internet website; or (3) undertake in its most recent report on Form N-CSR to provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of the code and explain the manner in which such request may be made. Disclosure is also required of amendments to, or waivers (including implicit waivers) from, a provision of the code in the registrant's annual report on Form N-CSR or on its website. If the registrant intends to satisfy the requirement to disclose amendments and waivers by posting such information on its website, it will be required to disclose its Internet address and this
intention.
The Legal Department shall be responsible for ensuring that:
·
        
a copy of the Code is filed with the SEC as an exhibit to each Fund’s annual report;
and
·
        
any amendments to, or waivers (including implicit waivers) from, a provision of the
Code is disclosed in the registrant's annual report on Form
N-CSR.
In the event that the foregoing disclosure is omitted or is determined to be incorrect, the Legal Department shall promptly file such information with the SEC as an amendment to Form N-CSR.
In such an event, the Fund Chief Compliance Officer shall review the Code and propose such changes to the Code as are necessary or appropriate to prevent reoccurrences.
