The information contained herein: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar and/or its content providers; (2) may not be copied or distributed; and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or “star rating, ” is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a 3 -year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22. 5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22. 5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3 - 5 - and 10 -year (if applicable) Morningstar Ratings metrics. The weights are 100% 3 -year rating for 36– 59 months of total returns, 60% 5 -year rating/40% 3 -year rating for 60– 119 months of total returns, and 50% 10 -year rating/30% 5 -year rating/20% 3 -year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10 -year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10 -year period, the most recent 3 -year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all 3 rating periods. Templeton Emerging Markets Fund is rated within the Morningstar Emerging Markets Equity Category. All rating data refers to Series F units. Please refer to morningstar. ca for more details on the calculation of Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Ratings and the 1 -year information. For each of the 3 -, 5 - and 10 -year performance periods, there were in total 220, 144 and 69 funds, respectively, in the Morningstar Emerging Markets Equity Category.
