Market value figures reflect the trading value of the investments. Notional exposure figures are intended to estimate the portfolio's exposure, including any hedged or increased exposure through certain derivatives held in the portfolio (or their underlying reference assets). Interest Rate Derivatives sector consists of Treasury, interest rate and other derivatives that are primarily used for duration management. Average Duration and Average Weighted Maturity reflect certain derivatives held in the portfolio (or their underlying reference assets). Portfolio breakdown percentages may not total 100% and may be negative due to rounding, use of any derivatives, unsettled trades or other factors.

What Are the Risks?

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as the prices of bonds in the fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the fund's share price may decline. Changes in the financial strength of a bond issuer or in a bond's credit rating may affect its value. High yields reflect the higher credit risks associated with certain lower-rated securities held in the portfolio. Floating-rate loans and high-yield corporate bonds are rated below investment grade and are subject to greater risk of default, which could result in loss of principal-a risk that may be heightened in a slowing economy. The risks of foreign securities include currency fluctuations and political uncertainty. 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. Investing in derivative securities and the use of foreign currency techniques involve special risks as such may not achieve the anticipated benefits and/or may result in losses to the fund. These and other risk considerations are discussed in the fund's prospectus.

Glossary

Average Duration: A measure of the sensitivity of the price (the value of principal) of a fixed-income investment to a change in interest rates. Duration is expressed as a number of years. The weighted average duration of a fund reflects the effective duration of the underlying issues, based on the size of each holding.

Average Weighted Maturity: An estimate of the number of years to maturity, taking the possibility of early payments into account, for the underlying holdings.

Standard Deviation: A measure of the degree to which a fund's return varies from the average of its previous returns. The larger the standard deviation, the greater the likelihood (and risk) that a fund's performance will fluctuate from the average return.

Important Information

Investors should carefully consider a fund's investment goals, risks, charges and expenses before investing. To obtain a summary prospectus and/or prospectus, which contains this and other information, talk to your financial professional, call us at (800) DIAL BEN/342-5236 or visit franklintempleton.com. Please carefully read a prospectus before you invest or send money.

Information is historical and may not reflect current or future portfolio characteristics. All portfolio holdings are subject to change. Indexes are unmanaged, and one cannot invest directly in an index. They do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. Fund Management: CFA® and Chartered Financial Analyst® are trademarks owned by CFA Institute.

Performance: The fund offers other share classes subject to different fees and expenses, which will affect their performance.

Class A: Prior to 3/1/19, these shares were offered at a higher initial sales charge of 4.25%; thus actual returns would have differed. Total returns with sales charges have been restated to reflect the current maximum initial sales charge of 3.75%.

Class C: Prior to 1/1/04, these shares were offered with an initial sales charge; thus actual returns would have differed.

30-DayStandardized Yield: The fund's 30-Day Standardized Yield is calculated using the net income (interest and dividends) per share earned over a trailing 30-day period (annualized), divided by the fund's share price at the end of that period. It may not equal the fund's actual income distribution rate, which reflects the fund's past dividends paid to shareholders.

Fund Measures: First call/fixed-to-floating date used as maturity date for certain perpetual hybrid securities. Franklin Distributors, LLC. Member FINRA/SIPC.
