Overview

Summary of Fund Objective

A master feeder fund which seeks to provide investors with as high a level of current income and preservation of capital as is consistent with investing primarily in floating rate or variable rate senior secured corporate loans or senior secured debt securities.

What Are The Key Risks?

The value of shares in the fund and income received from it can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Performance may also be affected by currency fluctuations. Currency fluctuations may affect the value of overseas investments.
The Fund invests mainly in corporate loans and corporate debt securities of U.S. companies. Such securities have historically been subject to significant price movements that may occur suddenly due to market or company-specific factors. As a result, the performance of the Fund can fluctuate significantly over relatively short time periods. Investors should be aware that the fund's share price and yield will fluctuate with market conditions.

Counterparty Risk: the risk of failure of financial institutions or agents (when serving as a counterparty to financial contracts) to perform their obligations, whether due to insolvency, bankruptcy or other causes.
Derivatives risk: the risk of loss in an instrument where a small change in the value of the underlying investment may have a larger impact on the value of such instrument. Derivatives may involve additional liquidity, credit and counterparty risks.
Liquidity risk: the risk that arises when adverse market conditions affect the ability to sell assets when necessary. Reduced liquidity may have a negative impact on the price of the assets.
Other significant risks include: lower-rated or non-investment grade securities risk, credit risk, derivative instruments risk, interest rate securities risk, settlement risk.

For full details of all of the risks applicable to this Fund, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of the Fund in the current prospectus of Franklin Floating Rate Fund Plc.
