THE PHOENIX EDGE SERIES FUND
Disclosure of Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
For the six-month period of July 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of The Phoenix Edge Series Fund, you incur ongoing costs including investment advisory fees and other expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in one of the series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period.
Actual Expenses
This section of the accompanying tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The expense estimate does not include the fees or expenses associated with the separate insurance accounts, and if such charges were included, returns would be lower.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
This section of the accompanying tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not your series’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your series and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the accompanying tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance policy through which you invest. Therefore, this section of the accompanying tables is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if the annuity or life insurance policy costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

Capital Growth Series
Product Manager Commentary
• | | Phoenix Capital Growth Series (“Capital Growth”) Seeks intermediate and long-term capital appreciation, with income as a secondary consideration. |
• | | For the 12-month reporting period, the Series returned 10.75%. For the same period, the S&P 500® Index, a broad-based equity index, returned 5.49% and the Russell 1000® Growth Index, the Series’ style-specific benchmark, returned 11.81%. |
All performance figures assume the reinvestment of distributions and exclude the effect of fees and expenses associated with the variable life insurance or annuity product through which you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown above.
How did the equity markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year?
• | | The four quarters of 2007 experienced significant shifts in economic expectations. In the first quarter of 2007 the market’s focus became the subprime mortgage issues, and the widespread impact. The result being the toll taken on financial stocks, resulting in a volatile and flat equity market. Second quarter ‘07 experienced thriving merger and acquisition activity, despite rising inflationary (commodity driven) fears, interest rates, and the continued deterioration of the housing markets. Third quarter of ‘07 experienced a liquidity freeze-up and credit-market meltdown which led to a volatile quarter. Investors reassessed their appetite for risk, as mergers and acquisitions activity came to a near standstill. These pressures and issues inspired the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, leading to a rally, yet overall equity market sectors posted mixed results. During this period, as Hedge funds were forced to unwind leveraged positions (sell long holdings and cover short positions) to raise liquidity, investment strategies focusing on attractive valuations and higher quality suffered. Many of the same themes which impacted returns in the third quarter continued to negatively impact the U.S. equity markets during fourth quarter ‘07 as well. Most notably, the uncertainty surrounding the real estate and subprime mortgage markets intensified, leading to further doubt as to whether the ever-resilient consumer will be able to keep the economy free from recession in 2008. Further, energy prices continued on their upward path, resulting in a further cut of the consumer wallet. The Fed is doing its best trapeze act — trying to balance inflation and economic weakness. In all, these fears, issues and uncertainties have led to a volatile market environment. Over the year, growth stocks generally outperformed value. |
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
• | | Overall, sector allocation proved very additive to returns due primarily to being underweight in the Consumer Discretionary Sector and overweight in the Materials and Energy Sectors. However, selective stock holdings detracted from returns, primarily within the Industrials and Information Technology Sectors. |
• | | Apple, a computer, digital music and mobile communications equipment manufacturer; Freeport-McMoRan, a metals mining and manufacturing company; Celanese, an industrial chemical provider; and Oracle, an enterprise software provider were the top contributors during the year. Detracting from performance were Continental Airlines, an air carrier; Electronic Data Systems, an electronic data processing provider; Watson Pharmaceuticals, a generic and branded pharmaceutical products company and WellCare Group, a managed healthcare provider. |
• | | Looking ahead to 2008, investors will continue to weigh the severity of any potential economic slowdown, the Federal Reserve’s stance on inflationary pressures, the impact of the mortgage and real estate markets, the trend in both energy prices and the dollar, the level and outlook for employment, and overall, the affects felt by the consumer. We strongly believe that over the long-term, what matters most is the earnings growth and valuation of individual companies. Our investment process mirrors this view, with a continued focus on quality companies exhibiting improving fundamentals, attractive valuations and positive investor interest. We remain confident that the consistent application of our disciplined investment process will continue to produce superior results over the long term. |
The preceding information is the opinion of portfolio management only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. Any such opinions are subject to change at any time based upon market or conditions and should not be relied on as investment advice.
Because the Series is heavily weighted in the technology sector, it will be impacted by that Sector’s performance more than a series with broader sector diversification.

Returns represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Total return does not reflect expenses associated with the separate account such as the administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges, which if reflected, would reduce total return. Performance figures may reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would have been lower.

Growth and Income Series
Product Manager Commentary
• | | Phoenix Growth and Income Series (“Growth and Income”) Seeks dividend growth, current income and capital appreciation. |
• | | For the 12-month reporting period the Series returned 6.66%. For the same period, the S&P 500® Index, a broad-based equity index, returned 5.49%. |
All performance figures assume the reinvestment of distributions and exclude the effect of fees and expenses associated with the variable life insurance or annuity product through which you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
How did the Equity markets perform during the Series’ fiscal year?
• | | The return of volatility was the key theme for the year. After posting new highs for the S&P 500 in early October, stocks turned lower on credit issues tied to subprime mortgages. The mortgages had been dissected and repackaged into securities held by large banks, brokers and insurance companies. When the low teaser rates on the mortgages reset, homeowners could no longer make their payments and the instruments defaulted. This resulted in a huge credit squeeze, causing the Fed to begin lowering interest rates in order to steer the economy away from falling into a recession. There were billion dollar write-downs of investments and several CEOs were fired. |
Also affecting the markets was a rise in the price of crude oil and a sharp decline in the value of the U.S. Dollar. Because of these issues, the United States equity markets posted mixed returns for the calendar year 2007.
The fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500, is a representative index for large capitalization stocks and it returned 5.49%. The small cap benchmark, Russell 2000, posted a loss of 1.57%. In terms of style indices, Value stocks returned less than Growth stocks for the fiscal year. The Russell 1000 Value Index had a slight loss of 0.17%, while the Russell 1000 Growth Index had a double-digit gain of 11.81%. With sub-par returns in broad-based U.S. indices, the real action was in overseas emerging markets stocks. The MSCI Emerging Markets index posted a huge gain of 39.78%. We did not participate in this market because emerging foreign companies are not in our investment universe.
What factors affected the Series’ performance during its fiscal year?
• | | Performance for the year was favorable. The Growth & Income Series returned 6.66%. The investment portfolio return was 117 basis points higher than the 5.49% total return for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500. |
In relation to the benchmark index, the fund benefited the most from sector positioning in Financials, Consumer Discretionary and Health Care. Sector positioning in Information Technology, Consumer Staples and Materials had an adverse impact on the funds performance relative to its benchmark. The top five individual stock contributors were Exxon Mobil, Occidental Petroleum, Microsoft, AT&T and National Oilwell Varco. The bottom five contributors were Citigroup, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, American International Group and Tyco.

Mid-Cap Growth Series

• | | Phoenix Mid-Cap Growth Series (“Mid-Cap Growth”) Seeks capital appreciation. |
• | | For the 12-month reporting period the Series returned 21.80%. For the same period, the S&P 500® Index, a broad-based equity index, returned 5.49% and the Russell MidCap® Growth Index, the Series’ style-specific benchmark, returned 11.43%. |

For the period of January 1, 2007 through November 2007 Bennett Lawrence Management, LLC was the sub-advisor for the Phoenix Mid-Cap Growth Edge Series.
How did the Equity markets perform during the Series’ fiscal year?
In the following commentary Bennett Lawrence Management, LLC discusses the performance under their management Series.
• | | The year started off on a strong note as inflation and interest rate concerns took a back seat to good earnings reports and reasonable equity valuations. Beneath the surface, a change in investor preferences had begun. For the first time in a long while, demand for growth stocks strengthened. Historically, mid-cycle slowdowns (the stage in the cycle that we appeared to be in the majority of the year) have tended to favor equities in general and growth stocks in particular. As a result, earnings visibility became a most desirable trait and for the first time in seven years, growth stocks outperformed value. |
• | | Toward the end of the year, worries mounted over housing, a credit crunch and possible recession. Volatility became pronounced and the averages started to lose ground. Fortunately, the Federal Reserve had begun a campaign to restore liquidity to the credit markets. Hopefully this will provide a counterbalance to the host of issues that are on the minds of investors and weighing on share prices. |
What factors affected the Series’ performance during its fiscal year?
• | | The combination of strong demand for growth stocks, prescient industry/sector allocation decisions and strong operating results from our portfolio companies enabled the Series portfolio to enjoy performance that was over 2.5 times greater than the Russell Midcap Growth Index. |
• | | For the first time in a long while, earnings growth was directly correlated to share performance. Generally speaking, the better the operating results, the more impressive the share gains. Needless to say, this was a very good backdrop for our high-growth investment strategy. In addition, we were rewarded for overweighting the technology sector, as trends including electronic payment transfer, e-commerce, software as a service, online advertising and solar energy were very pervasive. Finally, the overwhelming majority of our companies delivered operating results that exceeded consensus estimates and led to positive momentum among the Series’ portfolio holdings. |
Neuberger Berman began sub-advising the Portfolio at the end of November 2007.
How did the Equity markets perform during the Series’ fiscal year?
• | | In the following commentary Neuberger Berman Management, Inc. discusses the Series performance since their becoming subadvisor. |
• | | In 2007, Large- and Mid-Cap shares outpaced smaller issues while growth style results outpaced value across the capitalization spectrum, the first time since 1999. As the subprime issues continued to work their way through the system, Financials, a large percentage of the value indices, were among the weakest performing sectors for the year. Other sectors that were weaker links included consumer-related areas. Telecom was an area of weakness as concerns regarding a slowdown in consumer spending negatively impacted the sector. Mid-Caps were the best performing capitalization bucket for the year. This was in part due to private equity firms fueling acquisitions in the Mid-Cap space which impacted the portfolio as we had several take overs during the year. |
What factors affected the Series’ performance during its fiscal year?
• | | Equity market returns for the year 2007 were for the most part positive and volatility had been on an up tick for much of the year as subprime issues continued to unfold throughout the year. As volatility increases, companies that exhibit earnings quality, which is what we seek to identify in our process, continue to be rewarded in the marketplace. This type of environment serves our quality focus well. We continue to believe that companies that demonstrate the ability to grow earnings on a consistent basis in this slowing environment will be rewarded as investors will pay up for this attribute. This was the case for much of 2007 and we believe that this will continue to be the backdrop for adding value in 2008. |
• | | We remain cautious of areas linked to the average consumer and will therefore remain market-underweight in both Consumer Staples and Discretionary. We continue to play niche areas within Consumer Discretionary such as hotels, gaming and secondary education. The Portfolio continues to be market weight in Industrials with an emphasis on niche areas such as aviation. Although slightly underweight at this time, we continue to believe that Energy will provide earnings growth potential given worldwide demand, and we anticipate moving toward a neutral weighting opportunistically. Due to the spread of subprime worries, and especially their effect on Financials, we will remain underweight in this area at this time. We are also currently overweighted in both the Health Care and Information Technology sectors emphasizing medical diagnostics and specialized software and services, respectively. |

Multi-Sector Fixed Income Series
Product Manager Commentary
• | | Phoenix Multi-Sector Fixed Income Series (“Multi-Sector Fixed Income”) Seeks long-term total return. |
• | | For the 12-month reporting period the Series returned 3.71%. For the same period, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a broad-based fixed income index, returned 6.97%. |
All performance figures assume the reinvestment of distributions and exclude the effect of fees and expenses associated with the variable life insurance or annuity product through which you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
How did the Fixed Income markets perform during the Series’ fiscal year?
• | | The broad U.S. fixed income market, as represented by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index returned 6.97% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. In the first five meetings of the year, the Fed kept the federal funds rate unchanged at 5.25%. On September 18, 2007, the Fed cut the federal funds rate by 0.50% to 4.75%, citing concerns that tightening credit conditions could potentially increase the strain on the housing market, eventually leading to lower-than-expected economic growth. The Fed proceeded to cut rates another 0.25% at each of its next two meetings on October 31 st and December 11th. Since the beginning of the year the yield curve has steepened, with rates declining across the curve. |
• | | The 1st half of 2007 can best be characterized as a low volatility, benign credit environment. It was in this atmosphere that non-treasury fixed income sectors outperformed. In stark contrast, the 2nd half of 2007 was extraordinarily volatile. This was primarily due to fear surrounding the subprime mortgage market and its resulting contagion. These fears caused a very significant flight to quality which resulted in dramatic spread widening in all sectors of the bond market. So significant was this flight to quality, that it caused treasuries to outperform almost all spread sectors, the exception being out-performance by some non-U.S. Dollar investments. |
What factors affected the Series’ performance during its fiscal year?
• | | The decision to maintain an underweight to U.S. Treasuries in favor of spread sectors was the largest detractor to performance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Treasuries outperformed as concerns over subprime sparked a flight to quality, causing spreads in many sectors to widen. This environment typically does not favor our style of investing. Among the series’ investment in spread sectors, the allocation to emerging market securities detracted the most from performance. Within emerging markets, the overweight to Argentina and Venezuela were the key drivers of underperformance. |
• | | The largest positive contributor to performance was the series’ exposure to non U.S. Dollar investments, which benefited from market expectations that the Federal Reserve would cut U.S. interest rates in 2007 and stronger growth outside of the United States. An additional positive contributor to the series’ performance was our issue selection within the investment grade corporate sector, which out-performed the Lehman U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Bond Index. Although the series’ allocation to the corporate high-yield sector hurt performance the higher quality focus and underweight to CCC securities within the sector helped performance. For the year the Caa component of the Lehman High Yield Index returned -0.13%, while the Ba and B components returned 1.75% and 3.12%, respectively. |

The series’ use of derivatives such as futures, options and swap agreements to pursue their investment objectives may expose the series to additional risks that it would not be subject to if it invested directly in the securities underlying those derivatives. These risks may cause the series to experience higher losses than series that do not use derivatives.

Strategic Allocation Series
Product Manager Commentary
• | | Phoenix Strategic Allocation Series (“Strategic Allocation”) Seeks high total return over an extended period of time consistent with prudent investment risk. |
• | | For the 12-month reporting period the Series returned 5.98%. For the same period, the S&P 500® Index, a broad-based equity index, returned 5.49% and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a broad-based fixed income index returned 6.97%. The Composite Index for Strategic Allocation Series, the Series’ style-specific benchmark, returned 6.22%. |

How did the Equity markets perform during the Series’ fiscal year?
• | | The return of volatility was the key theme for the year. After posting new highs for the S&P 500 in early October, stocks turned lower on credit issues tied to subprime mortgages. The mortgages had been dissected and repackaged into securities held by large banks, brokers and insurance companies. When the low teaser rates on the mortgages reset, homeowners could no longer make their payments and the instruments defaulted. This resulted in a huge credit squeeze, causing the Fed to begin lowering interest rates in order to steer the economy away from falling into a recession. There were billion dollar write-downs of investments and several CEOs were fired. Also, affecting the markets was a rise in the price of crude oil and a sharp decline in the value of the U.S. dollar. Because of these issues, the United States equity markets posted mixed returns for the calendar year 2007. |
The fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500, is a representative index for large capitalization stocks and it returned 5.49%. The small cap benchmark, Russell 2000, posted a loss of 1.57%. In terms of style indices, Value stocks returned less than Growth stocks for the fiscal year. The Russell 1000 Value Index had a slight loss of 0.17%, while the Russell 1000 Growth Index had a double-digit gain of 11.81%. With sub-par returns in broad-based U.S. indices, the real action was in overseas emerging markets stocks.
The MSCI Emerging Markets index posted a huge gain of 39.78%. We did not participate in this market because emerging foreign companies are not in our investment universe.
What factors affected the equity portion Series’ performance during its fiscal year?
• | | Equity performance for the year was favorable. The Strategic Allocation Series stock portion of the portfolio returned 7.47% before taking into account fund expenses. The investment portfolio return was 198 basis points higher than the 5.49% total return for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500. |
In relation to the benchmark index, the fund benefited the most from sector positioning in Financials, Consumer Discretionary and Health Care. Sector positioning in Information Technology, Consumer Staples and Materials had an adverse impact on the Series’ performance relative to its benchmark. The top five individual stock contributors were Exxon Mobil, Occidental Petroleum, Microsoft, AT&T and National Oilwell Varco. The bottom five contributors were Citigroup, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, American International Group and Tyco.
How did the Fixed Income markets perform during the Series’ fiscal year?
• | | The broad U.S. fixed income market, as represented by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index returned 6.97% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. In the first five meetings of the year the Fed kept the federal funds rate unchanged at 5.25%. On September 18, 2007, the Fed cut the federal funds rate by 0.50% to 4.75%, citing concerns that tightening credit conditions could potentially increase the strain on the housing market, eventually leading to lower than expected economic growth. The Fed proceeded to cut rates another 0.25% at each of its next two meetings on October 31 st and December 11th. Since the beginning of the year the yield curve has steepened, with rates declining across the curve. |
• | | The 1st half of 2007 can best be characterized as a low volatility, benign credit environment. It was in this atmosphere that non-treasury fixed income sectors outperformed. In stark contrast, the 2nd half of 2007 was extraordinarily volatile. This was primarily due to fear surrounding the subprime mortgage market and its resulting contagion. These fears caused a very significant flight to quality which resulted in dramatic spread widening in all sectors of the bond market. So significant was this flight to quality, that it caused treasuries to outperform almost all spread sectors, the exception being out-performance by some non-U.S. Dollar investments. |
What factors affected the Series’ performance during its fiscal year?
• | | The decision to maintain an underweight to U.S. Treasuries in favor of spread sectors was the largest detractor to performance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Treasuries outperformed as concerns over subprime sparked a flight to quality, causing spreads in many sectors to widen. This environment typically does not favor our style of investing, however, our ability to be tactical in our use of high quality substitutes for investment-grade corporates contributed positively to performance for the year. Among the series’ investment in spread sectors, the overweight to asset backed securities and corporate high yield detracted the most from performance. The asset-backed sector was pressured by the home equity sub-component, which suffered from weakness in the underlying collateral. The high-yield market weakened over increased concerns that tightening credit conditions could potentially increase the strain on the housing market, eventually leading to lower than expected economic growth. |
• | | The largest positive contributor to performance was the series’ exposure to non U.S. Dollar investments, which benefited from market expectations that the Federal Reserve would cut U.S. interest rates in 2007 and stronger growth outside of the United States. An additional positive contributor to the series’ performance was our issue selection within the investment grade corporate sector, which out-performed the Lehman U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Bond Index. |

Strategic Allocation Series (continued)
Portfolios that invest in high yield securities are subject to greater credit risk and price fluctuation than portfolios that invest in higher quality securities. The series’ use of derivatives such as futures, options and swap agreements to pursue the investment objectives may expose the series to additional risks that it would not be subject to if the investment options invested directly in the securities underlying those derivatives. These risks may cause the series to experience higher losses than series that do not use derivatives.
The economies of developing countries may be adversely affected by trade barriers, exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency values and other protagonist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they trade.

Aberdeen International Series
Product Manager Commentary
• | | Phoenix-Aberdeen International Series (“Aberdeen International”) Seeks high total return consistent with reasonable risk. |
• | | For the 12-month reporting period the Series returned 14.94%. For the same period, the S&P 500® Index, a broad-based equity index, returned 5.49% and the MSCI EAFE® Index, the Series’ style-specific benchmark, returned 11.63%. |
All performance figures assume the reinvestment of distributions and exclude the effect of fees and expenses associated with the variable life insurance or annuity product through which you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
How did the Equity markets perform during the Series’ fiscal year?
• | | The majority of International equity markets posted positive returns in 2007, despite ending the year on a negative tone. The MSCI EAFE index had a total return of 11.63% for the year. U.S. investors benefited once again from the weakness of the U.S. Dollar against most foreign currencies, helping to boost overall returns. |
• | | Latin America was again the highest returning region, posting a return of 50.7%. Within Latin America, Brazil was a notable standout, achieving a return of 80% as it benefited from significant exposure to its rich natural resources within the commodities sector. Elsewhere in Emerging Markets, China and India also performed exceptionally well posting returns in excess of 50% each for the year. |
• | | In Continental Europe, equity market returns were boosted by a sharp rise in the Euro versus the U.S. Dollar while continued strong economic growth boosted corporate profits. Europe’s largest economy, Germany, was the single best performing market in the region, posting a U.S. Dollar return of 35.6%. Of the other major International markets Japan was the greatest disappointment, posting a negative return of 4.1% for the fiscal year under review. |
• | | Within sectors, financials fared worst as the fallout from the U.S. subprime crisis proved to be a major problem for Financial institutions globally rather than being solely confined to the U.S. financial market. The Materials and Energy sectors achieved high returns aided by continued upward momentum in the underlying prices of oil and other natural resources. |
What factors affected the Series’ performance during its fiscal year?
• | | The fund produced a return of 14.94% for 2007. The exposure to Emerging Markets had a positive contribution to performance with companies such as Petrobras in Brazil, ICICI Bank in India, and Grupo Asur in Mexico, producing very strong returns and comfortably outperforming the benchmark index. This was partly offset by disappointing negative returns from longterm holdings Samsung Electronics in South Korea and Taiwan Semiconductor in Taiwan. The two Chinese positions of Petrochina and China Mobile also contributed very strong returns during the year and profits were taken in October 2007 due to our concern over the very high valuation levels of Chinese equities. |
• | | Stock selection was strong within the United Kingdom (“UK”), as engineering company, Weir Group continued to perform robustly and British American Tobacco, Vodafone and food retailer William Morrison also posted solid returns. Within the Continental European holdings, strong showings from Belgacom and German companies Eon and Adidas, were partly offset by disappointments in Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson and Dutch financial giant ING Groep, where we sold our position in the second half of the year. Within the Japanese portion of the portfolio, a number of financial holdings suffered a knock on effect from the U.S. subprime crisis with banking giant MUFJ performing poorly as did leasing company Orix. Export giants Canon and Toyota also underperformed on fears of a U.S. economic slowdown and a rise in the Yen in the second half of the year. |

Alger Small-Cap Growth Series
Product Manager Commentary
• | | Phoenix -Alger Small-Cap Growth Series (“Alger Small-Cap Growth”) Seeks long-term capital growth. |
• | | For the 12-month reporting period the Series returned 16.10%. For the same period, the S&P 500® Index, a broad-based equity index, returned 5.49% and the Russell 2000® Growth Index, the Series’ style-specific benchmark, returned 7.05%. |
All performance figures assume the reinvestment of distributions and exclude the effect of fees and expenses associated with the variable life insurance or annuity product through which you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
How did the Equity markets perform during the Series’ fiscal year?
• | | Judging from the tenor of the news and the sentiment of investors, you would think that the markets this year were either down 10% or flat. Even with the bottom falling out of financial services stocks in the third and fourth quarters, however, the major indices were up for the year, some quite decently. The S&P 500 Stock Index was up 5.5% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average 8.9%. Large capitalization stocks performed better than their smaller cap brethren; the Russell 1000, a large cap index, was up 5.8%, while the smaller cap Russell 2000 Index posted a -1.6% decline. As a result of the problems in the Financial Services sector, value indices sharply underperformed growth counterparts. Because of the heavy weighting of banks, brokerage and insurance companies in the value indices, the Russell 3000 Value Index posted a loss of -1.0% while the broadly-based Russell 3000 Growth Index was up 11.4%. Within the small cap space, the disparity between growth and value was even greater as the Russell 2000 Value Index was down -9.8% and the Russell 2000 Growth Index was up 7.1%. |
• | | We continue to sound the theme that many U.S. growth companies are deeply immersed in a global economy that is showing signs of “decoupling” from the United States and expanding at a much more rapid pace. Those companies are seeing robust growth from places as diverse as Latin America, the Gulf region, and especially China. These regions have been a source of new markets and new business for many companies that trade on U.S. exchanges. Yet, many of those companies have not seen multiple expansion commensurate with that growth. They have done well but have not overshot this year. That’s why we believe they have potential for the year ahead. |
What factors affected the Series’ performance during its fiscal year?
• | | Over the fiscal year, relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index, the Fund benefited from positive security selection in all ten sectors, with the greatest impact coming from the Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, Energy and Information Technology sectors. In terms of allocation, there were no significant contributors or detractors at the sector level. The top contributing securities were Petrobank Energy & Resources Ltd. (in the Energy sector), Synchronoss Technologies Inc. (Information Technology), priceline.com Inc. (Consumer Discretionary), Deckers Outdoor Corp. (Consumer Discretionary) and BE Aerospace Inc. (Industrials), while the top detractors were Coldwater Creek Inc. (Consumer Discretionary), InterNAP Network Services Corp. (Information Technology), HFF Inc. Class A (Financials), American Reprographics Co. (Industrials) and DSW Inc. Class A (Consumer Discretionary). |
• | | As of December 31, 2007, the portfolio remained well diversified, consisting of investments in more than 100 securities across 42 industries. The top five industries were: Biotechnology, Software, Oil Gas & Consumable Fuels, Machinery and Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment. |
• | | If we are correct in our view that big-picture statistics are of less and less use in steering investment decisions, then focusing on specific companies and specific business opportunities will become even more vital than ever. Already, many active investment managers (and growth managers in particular) who focus on fundamentals have outperformed their respective indices simply because they have the flexibility to focus on the strengths and avoid some of the weaker areas of the economy and the markets. Given how the year ahead appears to be shaping up, that will be just as important going forward as it has been in 2007. |

Duff & Phelps Real Estate Securities Series
Product Manager Commentary
• | | Phoenix-Duff & Phelps Real Estate Securities Series (“Duff & Phelps Real Estate Securities”) Seeks capital appreciation and income with approximately equal emphasis. |
• | | For the 12-month reporting period the Series returned -15.71%. For the same period, the S&P 500® Index, a broad-based equity index, returned 5.49% and the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index, the Series’ style-specific benchmark, returned -15.69%. |
All performance figures assume the reinvestment of distributions and exclude the effect of fees and expenses associated with the variable life insurance or annuity product through which you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
How did the Equity markets perform during the Series’ fiscal year?
• | | After two years of highly liquid and accommodative debt markets, compressing risk premia across all investment classes and a wave of privatizations, both within the real estate world and the broader market, an environment of vulnerability was created. The ensuing subprime credit crisis triggered an increase in the cost of capital across all investment classes. The low IRRs (internal rate of return targets) implicit in private market transactions could no longer be supported. |
• | | The seven year run of positive fund flows and outperformance for REITs versus the broader market as of year-end 2006 was about to end on above average valuations, low implied cap rates and dividend yields well below the 90 basis point historical premium to the Ten-Year Treasury Bond. |
• | | REITs came under profit taking pressure as the credit crisis emerged. |
• | | Borrowing spreads increased rapidly across equity markets and the historically unavailable credit terms were removed (i.e., high loan-to-value advance rates used by the private real estate funds, interest only loans, and covenant light debt issuances, all of which had driven a significant compression in capitalization rates used to value net operating income of real estate). |
• | | In early July, after Hilton announced its sale to Blackstone, privatizations came to an abrupt halt as take over financing shut down. |
• | | The Street, which had been financing both debt and equity of privatizations in the broader market and within the REIT space, suddenly realized how much exposure of subprime paper and take over financing it had on its shelf. Write-downs ensued and are by no means complete. |
• | | By the start of 2008, REIT valuations had returned to attractive levels as measured by implied cap rates, material discounts to net asset values calculated with higher cap rates than those seen in the private real estate market, a dividend yield which had rapidly moved beyond the historical premium to the Ten-Year Treasury Bond, and average historical multiples. |
What factors affected the Series’ performance during its fiscal year?
• | | Once the environment changed and privatizations came to a halt, we were pleased to see the focus shift away from the next go-private rumor for REITs which would not have met our screens towards an environment better suited to our GARP style (focusing on cash flow growth at a reasonable price). |
• | | While we performed well against the benchmark both before and during the go-privatization period, as evidenced by our annual performance in 2005, 2006 and 2007, the unique window favored a “deep-value” or “NAV-centric” focus. A move away from go-privatizations helped us outperform the benchmark in all but one month in the second half of 2007. |
• | | Field research, including visits with REIT management at all levels, and regular property tours by all members of our team, remains the driver behind our stock selection. It’s been a hallmark of our process since we founded our REIT business and is even more critical in uncertain times. |
• | | We anticipate the portfolio we have constructed can deliver earnings and cash flow growth for ‘08 and ‘09 above the benchmark levels for reasonable prices. |
• | | Current consensus estimates call for our benchmark to deliver 5-6% growth in ‘08 and ‘09. Keep in mind ‘07 estimates actually ticked up slightly from the start to the end of the year, and ‘08 estimates stayed flat – low beta cash flow streams compared to the broader market. |
• | | We continue to emphasize secure, attractive and visible dividend yields and diversification of holdings. |

• | | Emerging equity markets turned in a stronger performance than their more developed counterparts during 2007 with the MSCI EM Latin America Index leading the way with nearly a 50% total return for the year. The MSCI AC Far East ex Japan Index posted a 33% gain, and the MSCI EM Europe, Middle East and Africa Index scored almost a 31% total return. At the other end of the spectrum, the S & P 500® Total Return Index gained a mere 5.5%, while the MSCI Japan Index plunged 4.1% and the MSCI Europe Index scored a much less impressive advance of 14.4% compared with the MSCI EMU Index equity market bloc – which posted a hefty 20.4% gain.

• | | A consistently firm exposure to international equities and a solid short-duration bias in fixed income allocations benefited the series’ performance the most; since international equities out-performed domestic U.S. stock markets and the flight to quality in the second half of 2007.

Sanford Bernstein Mid-Cap Value Series
Product Manager Commentary
• | | Phoenix-Sanford Bernstein Mid-Cap Value Series (“Sanford Bernstein Mid-Cap Value”) Seeks long-term capital appreciation. Current income is a secondary investment objective. |
• | | For the 12-month reporting period the Series returned 2.00%. For the same period, the S&P 500® Index, a broad-based equity index, returned 5.49% and the Russell 2500TM Value Index, the Series’ style-specific benchmark, returned -7.27%. |
All performance figures assume the reinvestment of distributions and exclude the effect of fees and expenses associated with the variable life insurance or annuity product through which you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
How did the Equity markets perform during the Series’ fiscal year?
• | | The past year was a transitional one in many ways in the market for small and mid-capitalization stocks. After a five-year period of strong earnings growth relative to larger companies, in 2007 earnings for these companies suffered a sharp compression and ended the year at or below growth rates for larger stocks. This shift caused investors, who had viewed the more robust earnings as a basis for investing in the smallest riskiest stocks in the sector, to question those judgments and the high multiples that they had awarded those stocks. Further, with increased scarcity of sustainable earnings, the markets rediscovered quality. The result was companies with measures of corporate success such as trailing profitability dramatically outperformed those with stronger value characteristics. Not surprisingly, in this environment larger companies outperformed smaller ones and growth outperformed value. |
• | | Exacerbating this shift was the renewed volatility seen in the markets in the second half of the year. Investors became increasingly uncertain about the size and scope of the subprime contagion and stocks with perceived exposure to housing or consumer spending were sharply marked down. Sectors with perceived safety such as consumer staples and utilities outperformed while more economically sensitive sectors such as transports and consumer cyclicals underperformed. The more domestic focus of Small- and Mid-Caps was also a headwind in this period as they gained less from the recent boom in U.S. exports and will continue to be more vulnerable to the housing-led U.S. economic slowdown or downturn, if one occurs. |
What factors affected the Series’ performance during its fiscal year?
• | | Our Portfolio’s 2.00% performance outperformed the Russell 2500 Value Index which was down 7.3%. |
• | | Strong stock selection in the Utilities, Consumer Cyclicals and Energy sectors. The Portfolio also received a boost from its significant underweight in Financials, especially those with more direct exposure to the subprime contagion. We saw further benefit from overweight positions in the industrial resource and capital equipment sectors. With increased concerns about U.S. economic growth, companies in these sectors were bolstered by their relatively greater exposure to foreign markets, where revenues and profits remain robust. Specific stocks that outperformed include Hess, AGCO, Steel Dynamics, SPX Corp and Enersys. |
• | | The biggest detractor from performance for the year was our stock selection within the Consumer Growth sector where investors bid down shares of companies over fears of a slowdown in U.S. consumer spending. An underweight in Utilities hurt performance as investors bid the sector up, drawn to its defensive characteristics in a period of economic uncertainty. Specific stocks that underperformed include Avis Budget Group, TRW Automotive, Central Pacific Financial, Terex and Quebecor World. |
• | | In spite of significant earnings disappointments in 2007, consensus forecasts for 2008 appear to assume that small-capitalization stocks will regain their recent earnings growth edge vs. large-capitalization stocks. We continue to believe that for smaller stocks as a whole, earnings expectations for 2008 remain too optimistic, valuations too high, and valuation spreads between stocks too narrow. |
• | | Small- and Mid-Capitalization stocks continue to trade too much as a group, without regard for fundamentals, despite greater performance differentials in the last year. In 2007, stocks with greater overseas revenues did markedly better than those that were mostly domestic, and stocks reliant on the U.S. housing sector dramatically underperformed. |
• | | Thus, our Portfolio stance remains largely unchanged. We continue to emphasize companies with strong historical returns and current success at attractive valuations. These companies have benefited from breadth in their revenue streams, generating a higher share from international markets than the universe as a whole. On average, they also tend to be larger. Thus, we expect our average market capitalization to be larger than the benchmark for some time to come. |
• | | Recent market distress, however, is beginning to create some new opportunities. While our fundamental and quantitative research suggests caution, in a few instances the return potential appears sufficiently compelling to justify the risk. In particular, our research suggests that a few companies with a high degree of exposure to the U.S. economy—such as those that make and sell high-priced discretionary consumer products—have traded down too far and thus offer attractive investment opportunities. |
The preceding information is the opinion of portfolio management only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. Any such opinions are subject to change at any time based upon market or conditions and should not be relied on as investment advice.
Mid-cap stocks are more volatile and may be less liquid than large-cap stocks.

Sanford Bernstein Small-Cap Value Series
Product Manager Commentary
• | | Phoenix-Sanford Bernstein Small-Cap Value Series (“ Sanford Bernstein Small-Cap Value”) Seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in small capitalization stocks that appear to be under valued. Current income is a secondary investment objective. |
• | | For the 12-month reporting period the Series returned -2.10%. For the same period, the S&P 500® Index, a broad-based equity index, returned 5.49% and the Russell 2000® Value Index, the Series’ style-specific benchmark, returned -9.78%. |
All performance figures assume the reinvestment of distributions and exclude the effect of fees and expenses associated with the variable life insurance or annuity product through which you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
How did the Equity markets perform during the Series’ fiscal year?
• | | The past year was a transitional one in many ways in the market for smaller cap stocks. After a five-year period of stronger earnings growth for small-cap stocks, in 2007 Small-Caps’ earnings growth suffered a sharp compression and ended the year at or below growth rates for larger stocks. This shift caused investors, who had viewed the more robust earnings as a basis for investing in the smallest riskiest stocks in the sector, to question those judgments and the high multiples that they had awarded those stocks. Further, with increased scarcity of sustainable earnings, the markets rediscovered quality. The result was companies with measures of corporate success such as trailing profitability dramatically outperformed those with stronger value characteristics. Not surprisingly, in this environment larger companies outperformed smaller ones and growth outperformed value. |
• | | Exacerbating this shift was the renewed volatility seen in the markets in the second half of the year. Investors became increasingly uncertain about the size and scope of the subprime contagion and stocks with perceived exposure to housing or consumer spending were sharply marked down. Sectors with perceived safety such as consumer staples and utilities outperformed while more economically sensitive sectors such as transports and consumer cyclicals underperformed. The more domestic focus of small-caps was also a headwind in this period as they gained less from the recent boom in U.S. exports and will continue to be more vulnerable to the housing-led U.S. economic slowdown or downturn, if one occurs. |
• | | For the year 2007, our Portfolio returned -0.8%, before fees, strongly outperforming both its benchmark the Russell 2000 Value Index, which was down -9.8%, and the Russell 2000 Index which was down -1.6%. |
• | | Strong stock selection was an important contributor to our premium. It was spread over a number of sectors but was more prevalent in financials, capital equipment and industrial resources. In financials, the portfolio benefited from our underweight of companies most directly exposed to the issues in the subprime markets. For industrial resources and capital equipment, the portfolio’s holdings benefited from high exposure to international markets where economic growth was perceived to be more sustainable. Overweighted positions in industrial resources and capital equipment were also strong drivers of performance, as was underweighting financials. Specific stocks that contributed to performance include Columbus McKinnon, Steel Dynamics, Commscope, Enersys and Zoran. |
• | | The biggest detractor from performance for the year was our stock selection in transportation where concerns over the impact of higher fuel costs and a slowdown in the economy hurt some of our holdings. Technology stock selection was also a detractor. Underweight positions in the utilities and energy sectors also negatively impacted performance. Specific stocks that underperformed include Avis Budget, Central Pacific Financial, Shoe Carnival, Quebecor World and CTS Corp. |
• | | In spite of significant earnings disappointments in 2007, consensus forecasts for 2008 appear to assume that small-capitalization stocks will regain their recent earnings growth edge vs. Large-Capitalization stocks. We continue to believe that for smaller stocks as a whole, earnings expectations for 2008 remain too optimistic, valuations too high, and valuation spreads between stocks too narrow. |
• | | Small-Capitalization stocks continue to trade too much as a group, without regard for fundamentals, despite greater performance differentials in the last year. In 2007, stocks with greater overseas revenues did markedly better than those that were mostly domestic, and stocks reliant on the U.S. housing sector dramatically underperformed. |
• | | Thus, our Portfolio stance remains largely unchanged. We continue to emphasize companies with strong historical returns and current success at attractive valuations. These companies have benefited from breadth in their revenue steams, generating a higher share from international markets than the universe as a whole. On average, they also tend to be larger. Thus, we expect our average market capitalization to be larger than the benchmark for some time to come. |
• | | Recent market distress, however, is beginning to create some new opportunities. While our fundamental and quantitative research suggests caution, in a few instances the return potential appears sufficiently compelling to justify the risk. In particular, our research suggests that a few companies with a high degree of exposure to the U.S. economy—such as those that make and sell high-priced discretionary consumer products—have traded down too far and thus offer attractive investment opportunities. |

Van Kampen Comstock Series
Product Manager Commentary
• | | Phoenix-Van Kampen Comstock Series (“ Van Kampen Comstock”) Seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Series has a secondary investment objective to seek current income. |
• | | For the 12-month reporting period the Series returned -2.22%. For the same period, the S&P 500® Index, a broad-based equity index, returned 5.49% and the Russell 1000® Value Index, the Series’ style-specific benchmark, returned -0.17%. |
All performance figures assume the reinvestment of distributions and exclude the effect of fees and expenses associated with the variable life insurance or annuity product through which you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
How did the Equity markets perform during the Series’ fiscal year?
• | | Despite the strong performance of the broad stock market in the first half of the year, rising uncertainties about the economy dampened performance in the second half of the year. Investors worried about how well the U.S. economy would weather ever-higher oil prices, a weakening housing market and slackening consumer spending, as well as the effects of an economic slowdown on corporate profitability. Against this backdrop, the broad market (as measured by the S&P 500 Index) had a small gain of 5.49%, while large cap value stocks lagged with a return of -0.17% (as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index) for the period. |
• | | In the 12-month period, stocks experienced several periods of significant volatility, such as in July and October-November, in which investors briefly rotated away from cyclical areas of the market (those with greater economic sensitivity such as materials and energy) that have driven performance for the past several years. During these periods of volatility, the Portfolio’s holdings of undervalued stocks performed relatively well, as we would expect the Portfolio to do in this type of environment. Because of our emphasis on stocks with reasonable valuations relative to our assessment of fair value, the Portfolio had no exposure to the richly valued cyclical stocks, which therefore minimized some of the damage to the Portfolio caused by these sharp downdrafts. |
What factors affected the Series’ performance during its fiscal year?
• | | The primary detractor from performance relative to both indexes was the Portfolio’s lack of exposure to the energy sector. Within both indexes, energy was the best-performing sector for the period as oil prices continued to soar. However, we believe energy stock valuations are too expensive based on our strict risk-reward criteria. |
• | | Relative to the S&P 500® Index, an overweight allocation in the financials sector further dampened relative performance, as the sector was among the weakest performing groups in the index during the period. The health care sector was another area of relative weakness. Two pharmaceutical holdings declined after the FDA did not approve their late-stage drugs. Conversely, stock selection and a resulting overweight allocation in the consumer staples sector were chief contributors to positive relative performance during the period. Stock selection in the telecommunication services sector also added to relative performance. |
• | | Relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index, other notable detractors from performance were the utilities and industrials sectors. The Portfolio had minimal utilities stocks, given their expensive valuations, and the sector performed well owing to high energy prices. The Portfolio also had minimal exposure to the industrials sector, which benefited from strong economic growth over the past several years. However, the Portfolio’s largest positive contribution came from our stock selection and the resulting underweight allocation in the financials sector. Within the sector, the Portfolio owned holdings in banks, brokerages, insurers, and government sponsored enterprises. Strong stock selection and a resulting overweight position in the consumer staples sector also bolstered the Portfolio’s relative performance. |

Investing internationally involves risks not associated with investing solely in the U.S., such as currency fluctuation, political risk, differences in accounting and the limited availability of information.
The economies of developing countries may be adversely affected by trade barriers, exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency values and other protagonist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they trade.
The series’ use of derivatives such as futures, options and swap agreements to pursue their investment objectives may expose the series to additional risks that it would not be subject to if it invested directly in the securities underlying those derivatives. These risks may cause the series to experience higher losses than series that do not use derivatives.

Van Kampen Equity 500 Index Series
Product Manager Commentary
• | | Phoenix-Van Kampen Equity 500 Index Series (“ Van Kampen Equity 500 Index”) Seeks high total return. |
• | | For the 12-month reporting period the Series returned 4.87%. For the same period, the S&P 500® Index, a broad-based equity index, returned 5.49%. |
All performance figures assume the reinvestment of distributions and exclude the effect of fees and expenses associated with the variable life insurance or annuity product through which you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
How did the Equity markets perform during the Series’ fiscal year?
• | | The S&P 500® Index returned a moderate gain of 5.49% for the year ended December 31, 2007. Stock price volatility was much more pronounced in 2007 than it had been over the past several years, largely driven by investor uncertainty as to the short- and long-term impacts of the subprime mortgage market’s troubles on the broader economy. In the first quarter, investors took notice of distress signs in the subprime market, which fueled stock price turbulence in March. Yet, corporate profits stayed positive and economic data was generally favorably, contributing to the belief that the effect of the subprime event would be contained. |
• | | However, by the third quarter, subprime troubles spilled into the credit market and the broader economy. A tightening in credit standards, mortgage lender bankruptcies and hedge fund implosions were followed by multi-billion dollar losses reported at several large financial institutions in the fourth quarter. At the same time, a cross current of unfavorable data buffeted the market, indicating a languishing housing market, declining consumer spending, rising oil prices and negative year-over-year corporate profit growth. |
• | | A series of reductions to both the discount rate and the target federal funds rate from the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) helped financial markets regain their footing at several points in the third and fourth quarters. In fact, the S&P 500 Index reached a record high early in the fourth quarter. However, skepticism quickly returned as investors worried that the Fed’s ability to steer the economy away from recession would be limited by potentially rising inflation. Fourth quarter corporate earnings expectations were dismal, with only the largest multi-national companies expected to generate growth through their exposure to international markets. |
What factors affected the Series’ performance during its fiscal year?
• | | Within the S&P 500 Index and therefore the Fund, eight of the ten sectors had positive absolute performance during the period, led by energy. Rising energy prices in 2007 continued to provide a favorable backdrop for energy companies to generate significant earnings. The materials sector also performed very well, benefiting from a strong global economic backdrop and robust demand for materials, particularly in China and India. The utilities sector also placed within the top three performing sectors, as utilities companies garnered considerable pricing power from the rising energy price environment. |
• | | The two negative returning sectors in the Index and Fund were consumer discretionary and financials. Investors generally avoided consumer-related stocks as a weakening housing market, high energy prices and tightening credit standards did not bode well for consumers’ ability to spend. Such fears were validated by declining consumer confidence and retail sales data in the second half of 2007 and disappointing receipts from the holiday shopping season. |
• | | Because the S&P 500 Index is market capitalization weighted (and that the Fund seeks to replicate the performance attributes of the S&P 500 Index before Fund fees), the overall contribution of each sector was influenced by its relative size within the S&P 500 Index and the Fund portfolio. As such, the sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s return were energy and technology, while financials and consumer discretionary were the largest detractors. |

THE PHOENIX EDGE SERIES FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007
Note 1—Organization
The Phoenix Edge Series Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund is organized with series, which are available only to the following separate accounts: Phoenix Life Variable Accumulation Account, Phoenix Life Variable Universal Life Account, PHL Variable Accumulation Account, PHLVIC Variable Universal Life Account, Phoenix Life and Annuity Variable Universal Life Account, and Phoenix Life Separate Accounts B, C, and D.
The Fund is comprised of 18 series (each a “series”).
Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Equity securities are valued at the official closing price (typically last sale) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded, or if no closing price is available, at the last bid price.
Debt securities are valued on the basis of broker quotations or valuations provided by a pricing service, which utilizes information with respect to recent sales, market transactions in comparable securities, quotations from dealers, and various relationships between securities in determining value.
As required, some securities and assets may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Trustees.
Certain foreign common stocks may be fair valued in cases where closing prices are not readily available or are deemed not reflective of readily available market prices. For example, significant events (such as movement in the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that foreign markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that the series calculates its net asset value (generally, the close of the NYSE) that may impact the value of securities traded in these foreign markets. In these cases, information from an external vendor may be utilized to adjust closing market prices of certain foreign common stocks to reflect their fair value. Because the frequency of significant events is not predictable, fair valuation of certain foreign common stocks may occur on a frequent basis.
On December 31, 2007, The Aberdeen International utilized fair value pricing for its foreign common stocks.
Certain securities held by the Fund were valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. The prices provided by the principal market makers may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold. At December 31, 2007, the total value of these securities represented the following approximate percentage of net assets:
| | | |
Series | | Percentage of Net Assets | |
Multi-Sector Short Term Bond | | 3.65 | % |
Short-term investments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market.
Money Market uses the amortized cost method of security valuation absent extraordinary or unusual market conditions. In the opinion of the Trustees, this represents the fair value of the securities. The deviations between the net asset value per share are monitored by using available market quotations and Money Market’s net asset value per share using amortized cost. If the deviation exceeds 1/2 of 1%, the Board of Trustees will consider what action, if any, should be initiated to provide fair valuation. Using this method, the series attempts to maintain a constant net asset value of $10 per share.
In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures. The Fund will be adopting effective with 3/31/08 on the financial statements.
B. | Security transactions and related income |
Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as the series is notified. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Each series amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis.
Each series is treated as a separate taxable entity. It is the policy of each series in the Fund to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.
Certain series may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Each series will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable based upon current interpretations of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This standard defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax-return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority and requires measurement of a tax position meeting the more-likely-than-not criterion, based on the largest benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized. Management has analyzed the series’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2004 – 2007) for purposes of implementing FIN 48, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the series’ financial statements. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next twelve months that would result in the amount of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for any of the Series.
D. | Distributions to shareholders |
Distributions are recorded by each series on the ex-dividend date. For Money Market, income distributions are recorded daily. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally
116
THE PHOENIX EDGE SERIES FUND

accepted in the United States of America. These differences may include the treatment of non-taxable dividends, market premium and discount, non-deductible expenses, expiring capital loss carryovers, foreign currency gain or loss, gain or loss on futures contracts, partnerships, operating losses and losses deferred due to wash sales. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital paid in on shares of beneficial interest.
Expenses incurred by the Fund with respect to more than one series are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each series, except where allocation of direct expense to each series or an alternative allocation method can be more appropriately made. In addition to the net operating expenses that the Phoenix-S&P Asset Allocation series’ bear directly, the contract owners, as investors in the series, indirectly bear the series’ pro-rata expenses of the underlying funds in which each series invests.
F. | Foreign currency translation |
Foreign securities and other assets and liabilities are valued using the foreign currency exchange rate effective at the end of the reporting period. Cost of investments is translated at the currency exchange rate effective at the trade date. The gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange rates between the trade and settlement date of a portfolio transaction is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. Likewise, the gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange rates between the date income is accrued and paid, is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from either changes in exchange rates or in the market prices of securities.
G. | Foreign security country determination |
A combination of the following criteria is used to assign the countries of risk listed in the schedules of investments: country of incorporation, actual building address, primary exchange on which the security is traded and country in which the greatest percentage of company revenue is generated.
H. | Forward currency contracts |
Certain series may enter into forward currency contracts in conjunction with the planned purchase or sale of foreign denominated securities in order to hedge the U.S. dollar cost or proceeds. Forward currency contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible movements in foreign exchange rates or if a counterparty does not perform under the contract.
A forward currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are traded directly between currency traders and their customers. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by each series as unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed or offset with the same counterparty, the series records a realized gain or loss equal to the change in the value of the contract when it was opened and the value at the time it was closed or offset.
A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a security at a set price on a future date. Certain series may enter into financial futures contracts as a hedge against anticipated changes in the market value of their portfolio securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, the series is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or securities equal to the “initial margin” requirements of the futures exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the series agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the series as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the series records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The potential risk to the series is that the change in value of the futures contract may not correspond to the change in value of the hedged instruments.
For Duff & Phelps Real Estate Securities, dividend income is recorded using management’s estimate of the income included in distributions received from the REIT investments. Distributions received in excess of this estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.
Certain series may loan securities to qualified brokers through an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custodian”). Under the terms of agreement, the series is required to maintain collateral with a market value not less than 100% of the market value of loaned securities. Collateral is adjusted daily in connection with changes in the market value of securities on loan. Collateral may consist of cash, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies, sovereign debt of foreign countries, and/or irrevocable letters of credit issued by banks. Cash collateral is invested in a short-term money market fund. Dividends earned on the collateral and premiums paid by the broker are recorded as income by the series net of fees and rebates charged by the Custodian for its services in connection with this securities lending program. Lending portfolio securities involves a risk of delay in the recovery of the loaned securities or in the foreclosure on collateral.
At December 31, 2007, the following series had securities on loan (reported in 000’s):
| | | | | | | | | |
Series | | Market Value | | U.S. Government Securities Collateral | | Cash Collateral |
Capital Growth | | $ | 33,609 | | $ | 8,254 | | $ | 25,980 |
Multi-Sector Fixed Income | | | 31,356 | | | — | | | 33,024 |
Strategic Allocation | | | 169 | | | — | | | 174 |
Aberdeen International | | | 1,300 | | | — | | | 1,386 |
Certain series may invest in direct debt instruments, which are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates. The series’ investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the lender) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. When investing in a loan participation, the series has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower. The series
117
THE PHOENIX EDGE SERIES FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 2007
generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the series may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When the series purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan. Direct indebtedness of emerging countries involves a risk that the government entities responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling to pay the principal and interest when due. Currently, the series only hold assignment loans.
M. | When-issued and delayed delivery transactions |
Certain series may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. Each series records when-issued and delayed delivery securities on the trade date. Each series maintains collateral for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis begin earning interest on the settlement date.
A repurchase agreement is a transaction where a series acquires a security for cash and obtains a simultaneous commitment from the seller to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price and date. Each series, through its custodian, takes possession of securities collateralizing the repurchase agreement. The collateral is marked-to-market daily to ensure that the market value of the underlying assets remains sufficient to protect the series in the event of default by the seller. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if the seller enters insolvency proceedings, realization of collateral may be delayed or limited.
Certain series may invest in credit linked notes, which are usually issued by a special purpose vehicle that is selling credit protection through a credit default swap. The performance of the notes is linked to the performance of the underlying reference obligation. The special purpose vehicle invests the proceeds from the notes to cover its contingent obligation. Credit linked notes may also have risks with default by the referenced obligation, currency and/or interest rates.

effects on the market prices of these investments and the income they generate, as well as a series’ ability to repatriate such amounts.
High yield/high risk securities typically entail greater price volatility and/or principal and interest rate risk. There is a greater chance that an issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments on time. Analysis of the creditworthiness of issuers of high yield securities may be complex, and as a result, it may be more difficult for the advisors and/or subadvisors to accurately predict risk.
Certain series may invest a high percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in their pursuit of a greater investment return. Fluctuations in these sectors of concentration may have a greater impact on a series, positive or negative, than if a series did not concentrate its investments in such sectors.
At December 31, 2007, the series held securities in specific sectors as detailed below:
| | | | | |
Series | | Sector | | Percentage of Total Net Assets | |
Capital Growth | | Information Technology | | 31 | % |
Alger Small-Cap Growth | | Information Technology | | 26 | % |
Sanford Bernstein Small-Cap Value | | Industrials | | 25 | % |
Van Kampen Comstock | | Financials | | 26 | % |
Note 6—Illiquid and Restricted Securities
Investments shall be considered illiquid if they cannot be disposed of in seven days in the ordinary course of business at the approximate amount at which such securities have been valued by the series. Additionally, the following information is also considered in determining illiquidity: the frequency of trades and quotes for the investment, whether the investment is listed for trading on a recognized domestic exchange and/or whether two or more brokers are willing to purchase or sell the security at a comparable price, the extent of market making activity in the investment and the nature of the market for investment. Illiquid securities are noted as such at the end of each series’ Schedule of Investments where applicable.
Restricted securities are illiquid securities, as defined above, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. Generally, 144A securities are excluded from this category, except where defined as illiquid.
At December 31, 2007, the Fund held the following restricted securities:

Each series will bear any costs, including those involved in registration under the Securities Act of 1933, in connection with the disposition of such securities.
Note 7—Indemnifications
Under the series’ organizational documents, its trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the series. In addition, the series enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The series’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these arrangements.
Note 8—Regulatory Exams
Federal and state regulatory authorities from time to time make inquiries and conduct examinations regarding compliance by The Phoenix Companies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “the Company”) with securities and other laws and regulations affecting their registered products.
In February 2005, the NASD notified PNX that it was asserting violations of trade reporting rules by a subsidiary. PNX responded to the NASD allegations in May 2005. Thereafter, in January 2007, the NASD notified PNX that the matter is being referred for potential violations and possible action. On May 3, 2007, the NASD accepted a letter of acceptance, waiver and consent submitted by the PXP subsidiary to resolve this matter. Without admitting or denying the NASD’s findings, in accordance with the terms of the letter, the PXP subsidiary agreed to a censure, to pay a fine of $8,000 and to revise its supervisory procedures.
The Company does not believe that the outcome of these matters will be material to these financial statements.

Note 9—Manager of Managers
The Fund and PVA have received an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) granting exemptions from certain provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, pursuant to which PVA will, subject to review and approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, be permitted to enter into and materially amend subadvisory agreements without such agreements being approved by the shareholders of the applicable series of the Fund. PVA will continue to have the ultimate responsibility to oversee the subadvisors and recommend their hiring, termination and replacement.
Note 10—Mixed and Shared Funding
Shares of the Fund are not directly offered to the public. Shares of the Fund are currently offered through separate accounts to fund variable accumulation annuity contracts and variable universal life insurance policies issued by Phoenix Life Insurance Company, PHL Variable Insurance Company, and Phoenix Life and Annuity Company and could be offered to separate accounts of other insurance companies in the future.
The interests of variable annuity contract owners and variable life policy owners could diverge based on differences in federal and state regulatory requirements, tax laws, investment management or other unanticipated developments. The Fund’s Trustees do not foresee any such differences or disadvantages at this time. However, the Fund’s Trustees intend to monitor for any material conflicts and will determine what action, if any, should be taken in response to such conflicts. If such a conflict should occur, one or more separate accounts may be required to withdraw its investment in the Fund or shares of another fund may be substituted.

For financial reporting purposes, book basis capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Permanent reclassifications can arise from differing treatment of certain income and gain transactions, nondeductible current year net operating losses, expiring capital loss carryovers and investments in passive foreign investment companies. The reclassifications have no impact on the net assets or net asset values of the Series.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
The Phoenix Edge Series Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the 18 series (constituting The Phoenix Edge Series Fund, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2007 and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

During the review process, the Board received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent legal counsel. In approving each agreement, the Board, including a majority of disinterested Trustees, determined that the fee structure was reasonable and approving the renewals was in the best interests of the Series and its shareholders. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses the primary factors relevant to the Board’s decision.
ADVISORY AGREEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services to be provided by PVA and its affiliates to the Series and its shareholders were reasonable. The Board received and reviewed substantial written information from PVA as requested. The Board’s conclusion was based, in part, upon services provided by PVA to other series of The Phoenix Edge Series Fund such as quarterly reports provided by PVA 1) comparing performance with a peer group and benchmark, 2) showing that the investment policies and restrictions were followed and 3) covering matters such as the compliance of investment personnel and other access persons with the Code of Ethics of PVA, the adherence to fair value pricing procedures established by the Board, the monitoring of portfolio compliance, information on illiquid securities and derivatives, brokerage commissions and presentations regarding the economic environment and general investment outlook. The Board noted that PVA was responsible for the general oversight of investment programs and the monitoring of subadvisor’s investment performance and their compliance with applicable laws, regulations, policies and procedures. With respect to compliance monitoring, the Board noted that PVA will require quarterly compliance certifications from the Subadvisor and will conduct compliance due diligence visits at the Subadvisor. The Board also considered the experience of PVA having acted as an investment adviser to mutual funds for 8 years, its current experience in acting as an investment adviser to 18 mutual funds, and its role under the Fund’s “manager of managers” exemptive relief under the 1940 Act. The Board also considered the transfer agent and shareholder services that are provided to Series shareholders by an affiliate of PVA, noting continuing improvements by management in the scope and quality of services and favorable reports on such service conducted by third parties.
Investment Performance. The Board placed emphasis on the investment performance of the Series in view of its importance to shareholders. In this regard, the Board considered the detailed performance review process of the Investment Performance Committee. While consideration was given to performance reports and discussions at Board meetings throughout the year, particular attention in assessing such performance was given to a report for the Series prepared by Lipper Financial Services (“Lipper”), which was furnished for the contract renewal process. The Lipper report showed the investment performance of the Series’ shares for the 1, 3, 5 and 10 year periods ended September 30, 2007, and the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2007. The Board reviewed the investment performance of the Series, along with comparative performance information given for a peer group of funds and a relevant market index. The Board noted that the Series performed below the index for the 1, 3, 5, and 10 year and year-to-date periods as of September 30, 2007. The Series was ranked 134th out of 199 for its peer group for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2007. The Board noted that the Subadvisor has been managing the Series for approximately eighteen months in its consideration of the quality of the Subadvisor’s investment performance. The Board further noted that it would review the Subadvisor’s investment performance each quarter in 2008.
Profitability. The Board reviewed the profitability analysis that addressed the overall profitability of PVA for its management of The Phoenix Edge Series Fund family, as well as its profits and that of its affiliates, for managing the Series. Specific attention was given to the methodology followed in allocating costs to the Series, since allocation methodologies are inherently subjective and various allocation methodologies may each be reasonable while producing different results. In this regard, the Board noted that the allocation methodology appeared reasonable. The Board also noted the contractual reimbursements provided to the Series. The Board concluded that the expected profitability to PVA from the Series was reasonable.
Management Fee and Total Expenses. The Board also placed emphasis on the review of Series expenses. Consideration was given to the comparative analysis of the management fees and total expense ratios of the Series compared with those of a group of funds selected by Lipper as its appropriate Lipper expense peer group as of September 30, 2007. The Board noted that the total expenses of the Series were higher than the average total expenses for comparable funds, and, however, the contractual management fee was slightly above the median for the peer group. The Board considered the management fee and total expenses of the Series in comparison to its peer group as shown in the Lipper report and concluded that such fee and expenses were reasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board noted that the management fee included breakpoints based on the amount of assets under management. The Board noted that it was likely that PVA and the Series would achieve certain economies of scale with respect to covering certain fixed costs as the assets grew. The Board concluded that shareholders would have an opportunity to benefit from these economies of scale.

SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services to be provided by the Subadvisor to the Series and its shareholders were reasonable. In addition, the Board received from the Subadvisor and reviewed substantial written information as requested. In the course of their deliberations and evaluation of materials, the Trustees considered, among other things the following factors: the Subadvisor, its current personnel (including particularly those personnel with responsibilities for providing investment and compliance services to the Series), and its financial condition, resources and investment process; the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement, including the standard of care and termination provisions; the scope and quality of the services that Subadvisor would provide to the Series; the structure and rate of advisory fees payable to the Subadvisor by PVA, the methodology used by the Subadvisor in determining the compensation payable to portfolio managers and the competition for investment management talent; and the Subadvisor’s compliance record. The Board’s opinion was based upon the extensive experience of the Subadvisor and the portfolio managers. With respect to portfolio manager compensation, the Board noted that a primary factor in the Subadvisor’s determination of the amount of bonus compensation to portfolio managers was the relative investment performance of the funds that they managed which would align their interests with those of the Series’ shareholders. The Board also considered the adequacy of the Subadvisor’s compliance program, based on the information provided by the Subadvisor.
Investment Performance. The Board placed emphasis on the investment performance of the Series in view of its importance to the shareholders.

The Board further noted that it would review the Subadvisor’s investment performance each quarter in 2008.
Profitability. The Board noted that the subadvisory fee is paid by PVA and not by the Series and that the profitability of the Subadvisor was not a material consideration.
Subadvisory Fee. The Board did not consider comparative fee information of subadvisory fees but noted that the subadvisory fee is paid by PVA and not by the Series.
Economies of Scale. The Board also considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those economies would be passed along to the Series’ shareholders, but noted that any economies would most likely be generated at the advisor level and not necessarily at the subadvisor level.

THE PHOENIX EDGE SERIES FUND
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND
SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR PHOENIX MID-CAP GROWTH SERIES (the “Series”)
The Board of Trustees is responsible for determining whether to approve the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory agreements. At a special meeting of the Series’ Board of Trustees on September 26, 2007, the Board approved the Advisor’s recommendation to terminate the prior subadvisor, Bennett Lawrence Management LLC (“Bennett Lawrence”) to be effective on November 26, 2007. At the special meeting, the Advisor advised the Board that it would recommend a new subadvisor for the Series to the Board for its consideration at the November 12 and 13, 2007 Board Meeting. At a meeting held on November 13, 2007 the Advisor recommended that Neuberger Berman Management LLC (“Neuberger Berman”) manage the Series. The Board, including a majority of disinterested Trustees, approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Phoenix Variable Advisors, Inc. (“PVA”) and the Fund and approved the investment subadvisory agreement (the “Subadvisory Agreement”) between PVA and Neuberger Berman (the “Subadvisor”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement between PVA and the Fund, PVA provides advisory services to the Series. Pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement between PVA and the Subadvisor, the Subadvisor provides the day to day investment management for the Series.
During the review process, the Board received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent legal counsel. In approving each agreement, the Board, including a majority of disinterested Trustees, determined that the fee structure was fair and reasonable and that approval of each agreement was in the best interests of the Series and its shareholders. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses the primary factors relevant to the Board’s decision.
ADVISORY AGREEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by PVA and its affiliates to the Series and its shareholders were reasonable. The Board’s conclusion was based, in part, upon services provided to the Series such as quarterly reports provided by PVA 1) comparing the performance of the Series with a peer group and benchmark, 2) showing that the investment policies and restrictions for the Series were followed and 3) covering matters such as the compliance of investment personnel and other access persons with the Code of Ethics of PVA and the Series, the adherence to fair value pricing procedures established by the Board, the monitoring of portfolio compliance, information on illiquid securities and derivatives, brokerage commissions and presentations regarding the economic environment and general investment outlook. The Board noted that PVA was responsible for the general oversight of the investment programs of the Series and the monitoring of the Subadvisor’s investment performance and its compliance with applicable laws, regulations, policies and procedures. In this regard, the Board considered the detailed performance review process of the Investment Performance Committee. With respect to compliance monitoring, the Board noted that PVA required quarterly compliance certifications from the former subadvisor and conducted compliance due diligence visits at the former subadvisor and would continue this compliance process with the new Subadvisor. The Board also considered the experience of PVA having acted as an investment adviser to mutual funds for 8 years, its current experience in acting as an investment adviser to 18 mutual funds, and its role under the Fund’s “manager of managers” exemptive relief under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Board also considered the transfer agent and shareholder services that are provided to Series shareholders by an affiliate of PVA, noting continuing improvements by management in the scope and quality of services and favorable reports on such service conducted by third parties.
Investment Performance. Since the Board placed emphasis on the investment performance of the Series in view of its importance to shareholders, it considered the new Subadvisor’s prior performance in managing mid-cap securities. Neuberger Berman had outperformed the Russell Mid-Cap Growth Index by 300 bps for the 1 year period ended August 31, 2007. The 3 and 5 year performance for similar funds was strong.
Profitability. The Board also considered the level of profits realized by PVA and its affiliates in connection with the operation of the Series. In this regard, the Board reviewed the Series profitability analysis that addressed the overall profitability of PVA for its management of The Phoenix Edge Series Fund family, as well as its profits and that of its affiliates, for managing the Series. Specific attention was given to the methodology followed in allocating costs to the Series, since allocation methodologies are inherently subjective and various allocation methodologies may each be reasonable while producing different results. In this regard, the Board noted that the allocation appeared reasonable. The Board also noted the voluntary reimbursements provided to the Series. The Board concluded that the profitability to PVA from the Fund was reasonable.
Management Fee and Total Expenses. The Board also placed emphasis on the review of Series expenses. Consideration was given to a comparative analysis of the management fees and total expense ratios of the Series compared with those of a group of funds selected by Lipper as the Series’ appropriate Lipper expense peer group. The Board noted that the total expenses of the Series were above the average total expenses for comparable funds; however the contractual management fee was below the median for the peer group. The Board was satisfied with the management fee and total expenses of the Series in comparison to its peer group as shown in the Lipper report and concluded that such fee and expenses were reasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board noted that it was likely that PVA and the Series would achieve certain economies of scale as the assets grew in order to cover certain fixed costs. The Board concluded that shareholders would have an opportunity to benefit from these economies of scale.

(Continued)
SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Nature, Extent, Quality of Services and Investment Performance. In connection with the consideration of PVA’s proposal to replace Bennett Lawrence with Neuberger Berman as Subadvisor to the Series, the Board received in advance of the meeting, certain information in the form of an extensive questionnaire completed by Neuberger Berman concerning a number of issues, including its investment philosophy, resources, operations and compliance structure. The Board had further benefit of a presentation made by Neuberger Berman’s senior management personnel where a number of issues, including Neuberger Berman’s history, investment approach, investment strategies, portfolio turnover rates, assets under management, personnel, compliance procedures and the firm’s overall performance, were reviewed and discussed. The Board was satisfied that the financial statements of Neuberger Berman indicated it was sufficiently capitalized, and that its 1, 3 and 5 year performance for funds similar to the Series was strong. The Board also took note of Neuberger Berman’s consistent investment style.
The Board also reviewed performance information for the Series and noted that as a result of disappointing performance, the recommendation of a new subadvisor was appropriate. In this context, the Trustees considered PVA’s quantitative and qualitative evaluation of Neuberger Berman’s skills and abilities in managing assets pursuant to specific investment styles similar to the styles of the Series. In addition, the Trustees also considered the overall nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor, whether the cost to PVA of these services would be reasonable, and the economic viability of Neuberger Berman.
After considering all the information presented, based on the qualifications of Neuberger Berman’s personnel and the performance of assets managed by the subadvisor in a similar manner and the performance of assets managed by the subadvisor in a similar manner as the Series would be managed, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and cost of services to be provided to the Series by the subadvisor were reasonable and in the best interest of the Series and their shareholders and approved the proposal.
Profitability. The Board noted that the subadvisory fee is paid by PVA and not by the Series.
Subadvisory Fee. The Board did not receive comparative fee information of subadvisory fees but noted that the subadvisory fee is paid by PVA and not by the Series.
Economies of Scale. The Board also considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those economies would be passed along to the Series’ shareholders but noted that any economies would most likely be generated at the advisor level and not necessarily at the subadvisor level.

In the course of their deliberations and evaluation of materials, the Trustees considered, among other things the following factors: the Subadvisor, its current personnel (including particularly those personnel with responsibilities for providing investment and compliance services to the Series), and its financial condition, resources and investment process; the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement, including the standard of care and termination provisions; the scope and quality of the services that the Subadvisor would provide to the Series; the structure and rate of advisory fees payable to the Subadvisor by PVA, the methodology used by the Subadvisor in determining the compensation payable to portfolio managers and the competition for investment management talent; and the Subadvisor’s compliance record. The Board’s opinion was based, in part, upon the extensive experience of the portfolio managers and, in particular, their experience in managing the Series as employees of Phoenix Investment Counsel, Inc., the previous advisor for the Series.

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement between PVA and the Fund, PVA provides advisory services to the Series. Pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement between PVA and the Subadvisor, the Subadvisor provides the day to day investment management for the Series.
During the review process, the Board received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent legal counsel. In approving each agreement, the Board, including a majority of disinterested Trustees, determined that the fee structure was reasonable and approving the renewals was in the best interests of the Series and its shareholders. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses the primary factors relevant to the Board’s decision.
ADVISORY AGREEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services to be provided by PVA and its affiliates to the Series and its shareholders were reasonable. The Board received and reviewed substantial written information from PVA as requested. The Board’s conclusion was based, in part, upon services provided by PVA to other series of The Phoenix Edge Series Fund such as quarterly reports provided by PVA 1) comparing performance with a peer group and benchmark, 2) showing that the investment policies and restrictions were followed and 3) covering matters such as the compliance of investment personnel and other access persons with the Code of Ethics of PVA, the adherence to fair value pricing procedures established by the Board, the monitoring of portfolio compliance, information on illiquid securities and derivatives, brokerage commissions and presentations regarding the economic environment and general investment outlook. The Board noted that PVA was responsible for the general oversight of investment programs and the monitoring of the subadvisor’s investment performance and their compliance with applicable laws, regulations, policies and procedures. With respect to compliance monitoring, the Board noted that PVA will require quarterly compliance certifications from the Subadvisor and will conduct compliance due diligence visits at the Subadvisor. The Board also considered the experience of PVA having acted as an investment adviser to mutual funds for 8 years, its current experience in acting as an investment adviser to 18 mutual funds, and its role under the Fund’s “manager of managers” exemptive relief under the 1940 Act. The Board also considered the transfer agent and shareholder services that are provided to Series shareholders by an affiliate of PVA, noting continuing improvements by management in the scope and quality of services and favorable reports on such service conducted by third parties.
Investment Performance. The Board placed emphasis on the investment performance of the Series in view of its importance to shareholders. In this regard, the Board considered the detailed performance review process of the Investment Performance Committee. While consideration was given to performance reports and discussions at Board meetings throughout the year, particular attention in assessing such performance was given to a report for the Series prepared by Lipper Financial Services (“Lipper”), which was furnished for the contract renewal process. The Lipper report showed the investment performance of the Series’ shares for the 1, 3, 5 and 10 year periods ended September 30, 2007 and the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2007. The Board reviewed the investment performance of the Series, along with comparative performance information given for a peer group of funds and a relevant market index. The Series had performed above the index for the 1, 3, and 5 year periods ended September 30, 2007 and performed below the index for the 10 year and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2007. The Series was ranked 33rd out of 49 for its peer group for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2007.
Profitability. The Board reviewed the profitability analysis that addressed the overall profitability of PVA for its management of The Phoenix Edge Series Fund family, as well as its profits and that of its affiliates, for managing the Series. Specific attention was given to the methodology followed in allocating costs to the Series, since allocation methodologies are inherently subjective and various allocation methodologies may each be reasonable while producing different results. In this regard, the Board noted that the allocation methodology appeared reasonable. The Board also noted the contractual reimbursements provided to the Series. The Board concluded that the expected profitability to PVA from the Series was reasonable.
Management Fee and Total Expenses. The Board also placed emphasis on the review of Series expenses. Consideration was given to a comparative analysis of the management fees and total expense ratios of the Series compared with those of a group of funds selected by Lipper as the Series’ appropriate Lipper expense peer group as of September 30, 2007. The Board noted that the total expenses of the Series were slightly lower than the average total expenses for comparable funds and that the contractual management fee was below the median for the peer group. The Board considered the management fee and total expenses of the Series in comparison to its expense group as shown in the Lipper report and concluded that such fee and expenses were reasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board noted that the management fee included breakpoints based on the amount of assets under management. The Board also noted that it was likely that PVA and the Series would achieve certain economies of scale with respect to covering certain fixed costs as the assets grew. The Board concluded that shareholders would have an opportunity to benefit from these economies of scale.

SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services to be provided by the Subadvisor to the Series and its shareholders were reasonable. In addition, the Board received from the Subadvisor and reviewed substantial written information as requested. In the course of their deliberations and evaluation of materials, the Trustees considered among other things the following factors: the Subadvisor, its current personnel (including particularly those personnel with responsibilities for providing investment and compliance services to the Series), and its financial condition, resources and investment process; the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement, including the standard of care and termination provisions; the scope and quality of the services that Subadvisor would provide to the Series; the structure and rate of advisory fees payable to the Subadvisor by PVA, the methodology used by the Subadvisor in determining the compensation payable to portfolio managers and the competition for investment management talent; and the Subadvisor’s compliance record. The Board’s opinion was based upon the extensive experience of the portfolio managers and, in particular, their experience in managing the Series as employees of Phoenix Investment Counsel, Inc., the previous advisor for the Series. With respect to portfolio manager compensation, the Board noted that a primary factor in the Subadvisor’s determination of the amount of bonus compensation to portfolio managers was the relative investment performance of the funds that they managed which would align their interests with those of the Series’ shareholders. The Board also considered the adequacy of the Subadvisor’s compliance program, based on the information provided by the Subadvisor.
Investment Performance. The Board placed emphasis on the investment performance of the Series in view of its importance to the shareholders. While consideration was given to performance reports and discussions at Board meetings throughout the year, particular attention in assessing such performance was given to a report for the Series prepared by Lipper Financial Services (“Lipper”), which was furnished for the contract renewal process.

The Series was ranked 33rd out of 49 for its peer group for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2006.
Profitability. The Board noted that the subadvisory fee is paid by PVA and not by the Series and that the profitability of the Subadvisor was not a material consideration.
Subadvisory Fee. The Board did not receive comparative fee information of subadvisory fees but noted that the subadvisory fee is paid by PVA and not by the Series.
Economies of Scale. The Board also considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those economies would be passed along to the Series’ shareholders, but noted that any economies would most likely be generated at the advisor level and not necessarily at the subadvisor level.

The Lipper report showed the investment performance of the Series’ shares for the 1, 3, 5 and 10 year periods ended September 30, 2007 and the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2007. The Board reviewed the investment performance of the Series, along with comparative performance information given for a peer group of funds and a relevant market index. The Board noted that the Series had performed above the index for the 3 and 10 year periods ended September 30, 2007 and had performed below the index for the 1 and 5 year and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2007. The Series was ranked 96th out of 136 for its peer group for the year-to-date ended September 30, 2007.
Profitability. The Board noted that the subadvisory fee is paid by PVA and not by the Series and that the profitability of the Subadvisor was not a material consideration.
Subadvisory Fee. The Board did not receive comparative fee information of subadvisory fees but noted that the subadvisory fee is paid by PVA and not by the Series.
Economies of Scale. The Board also considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those economies would be passed along to the Series’ shareholders, but noted that any economies would most likely be generated at the advisor level and not necessarily at the subadvisor level.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND
SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR PHOENIX-ALGER SMALL-CAP GROWTH SERIES
(the “Series”)
The Board of Trustees is responsible for determining whether to approve the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory agreements. At a meeting held on November 12, 2007, the Board, including a majority of disinterested Trustees, approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Phoenix Variable Advisors, Inc. (“PVA”) and the Fund and the investment subadvisory agreement (the “Subadvisory Agreement”) between PVA and Fred Alger Management, Inc. (the “Subadvisor”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement between PVA and the Fund, PVA provides advisory services to the Series. Pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement between PVA and the Subadvisor, the Subadvisor provides the day to day investment management for the Series.
During the review process, the Board received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent legal counsel. In approving each agreement, the Board, including a majority of disinterested Trustees, determined that the fee structure was reasonable and approving the renewals was in the best interests of the Series and its shareholders. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses the primary factors relevant to the Board’s decision.
ADVISORY AGREEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services to be provided by PVA and its affiliates to the Series and its shareholders were reasonable. The Board received and reviewed substantial written information from PVA as requested. The Board’s conclusion was based, in part, upon services provided by PVA to other Series of The Phoenix Edge Series Fund such as quarterly reports provided by PVA 1) comparing performance with a peer group and benchmark, 2) showing that the investment policies and restrictions were followed and 3) covering matters such as the compliance of investment personnel and other access persons with the Code of Ethics of PVA, the adherence to fair value pricing procedures established by the Board, the monitoring of portfolio compliance, information on illiquid securities and derivatives, brokerage commissions and presentations regarding the economic environment and general investment outlook. The Board noted that PVA was responsible for the general oversight of investment programs and the monitoring of subadvisor’s investment performance and their compliance with applicable laws, regulations, policies and procedures. With respect to compliance monitoring, the Board noted that PVA will require quarterly compliance certifications from the Subadvisor and will conduct compliance due diligence visits at the Subadvisor. The Board also considered the experience of PVA having acted as an investment adviser to mutual funds for 8 years, its current experience in acting as an investment adviser to over 18 mutual funds, and its role under the Fund’s “manager of managers” exemptive relief under the 1940 Act. The Board also considered the transfer agent and shareholder services that are provided to Series shareholders by an affiliate of PVA, noting continuing improvements by management in the scope and quality of services and favorable reports on such service conducted by third parties.
Investment Performance. The Board placed emphasis on the investment performance of the Series in view of its importance to shareholders. In this regard, the Board considered the detailed performance review process of the Investment Performance Committee. While consideration was given to performance reports and discussions at Board meetings throughout the year, particular attention in assessing such performance was given to a report for the Series prepared by Lipper Financial Services (“Lipper”), which was furnished for the contract renewal process. The Lipper report showed the investment performance of the Series’ shares for the 1, 3, and 5 year periods ended September 30, 2007 and the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2007. The Board reviewed the investment performance of the Series, along with the comparative performance information given for a peer group of funds and a relevant market index. The Board noted that the Series had performed above the index for all periods. The Board also noted that it placed 20th among 103 in its peer group for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2007.
Profitability. The Board reviewed the profitability analysis that addressed the overall profitability of PVA for its management of The Phoenix Edge Series Fund family, as well as its profits and that of its affiliates, for managing the Series. Specific attention was given to the methodology followed in allocating costs to the Series, since allocation methodologies are inherently subjective and various allocation methodologies may each be reasonable while producing different results. In this regard, the Board noted that the allocation appeared reasonable. The Board also noted the voluntary reimbursements provided to the Fund. The Board concluded that the profitability to PVA from the Series was reasonable.
Management Fee and Total Expenses. The Board also placed emphasis on the review of Series expenses. Consideration was given to a comparative analysis of the management fees and total expense ratios of the Series compared with those of a group of funds selected by Lipper as the Series’ appropriate Lipper expense peer group as of September 30, 2007. The Board noted that the actual total expenses of the Series were below the average total expenses for comparable funds and the contractual management fee was slightly higher compared to the median for the peer group. The Board was satisfied with the management fee and total expenses for the Series in comparison to its peer group as shown in the Lipper report and concluded that such fee and expenses were reasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board noted that it was likely that PVA and the Series would achieve certain economies of scale in order to cover certain fixed costs as the assets grew. The Board concluded that shareholders would have an opportunity to benefit from these economies of scale.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services that are provided by the Subadvisor to the Series and its shareholders were reasonable. In addition, the Board received from the Subadvisor and reviewed substantial written information as requested. In the course of their deliberations and evaluation of materials, the Trustees considered, among other things the following factors: the Subadvisor, its current personnel (including particularly those personnel with responsibilities for providing investment and compliance services to the Series), and its financial condition, resources and investment process; the terms of the subadvisory agreement, including the standard of care and termination provisions; the scope and quality of the services that Subadvisor would provide to the Series; the structure and rate of advisory fees payable to Subadvisor by PVA, the methodology used by Subadvisor in determining the compensation payable to portfolio managers and the competition for investment management talent; and the Subadvisor’s compliance record. The Board’s opinion was based, in part, upon the extensive experience of the Subadvisor and the portfolio managers. In this regard, the Board noted that the portfolio management team has many years of experience in the investment management business. With respect to portfolio manager compensation, the Board noted that a primary factor in the Subadvisor’s determination of the amount of bonus compensation to portfolio managers was the relative investment performance of the funds that they managed which would align their interests with those of the Series’ shareholders. The Board also considered the adequacy of the Subadvisor’s compliance program, based on the information provided by the Subadvisor.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND
SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR PHOENIX-S&P DYNAMIC ALLOCATION SERIES:
MODERATE (the “Series”)
The Board of Trustees is responsible for determining whether to approve the Series’ advisory and subadvisory agreements. At a meeting held on November 13, 2007, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Phoenix Variable Advisors, Inc. (“PVA”) and the Fund and the investment subadvisory agreement (the “Subadvisory Agreement”) between PVA and Standard & Poor’s Investment Advisory Services LLC (“SPIAS”) (the “Subadvisor”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, PVA and the Fund, PVA provides advisory services to the Series. Pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement between PVA and Subadvisor, the Subadvisor provides the day-to-day investment management for the Series.
During the review process, the Board received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent legal counsel. In approving each agreement, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that the fee structure was reasonable and that approval of each agreement was in the best interests of the Series and its shareholders. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses the primary factors relevant to the Board’s decision.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services to be provided by PVA and its affiliates to the Series and its shareholders were reasonable. The Board’s conclusion was based, in part, upon services provided to the series such as quarterly reports provided by PVA 1) comparing performance with a peer group and benchmark, 2) showing that the investment policies and restrictions were followed and 3) covering matters such as the compliance of investment personnel and other access persons with the Code of Ethics of PVA, the adherence to fair value pricing procedures established by the Board, the monitoring of portfolio compliance, information on illiquid securities and derivatives, brokerage commissions and presentations regarding the economic environment and general investment outlook. The Board noted that PVA was responsible for the general oversight of investment programs and the monitoring of the Subadvisor’s investment performance and their compliance with applicable laws, regulations, policies and procedures. With respect to compliance monitoring, the Board noted that PVA required quarterly compliance certifications from the Subadvisor and conducted compliance due diligence visits at the Subadvisor. The Board also considered the experience of PVA having acted as an investment adviser to mutual funds for 8 years, its current experience in acting as an investment adviser to 18 mutual funds, and its role under the Fund’s “manager of managers” exemptive relief under the 1940 Act. The Board also considered the transfer agent and shareholder services that are provided to Series’ shareholders by an affiliate of PVA, noting continuing improvements by management in the scope and quality of services and favorable reports on such service conducted by third parties.
Investment Performance. The Board placed emphasis on the investment performance of the Series in view of its importance to shareholders. While consideration was given to performance reports and discussions at Board meetings throughout the year, particular attention in assessing such performance was given to a report for the Series prepared by Lipper Financial Services (“Lipper”), which was furnished for the contract renewal process. The Lipper report showed the investment performance of the Series’ shares for the one year period ended September 30, 2007 and the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2007. The Board reviewed the investment performance of the Series, along with comparative performance information given for a peer group of funds and a relevant market index. The Board noted that the Series had performed above the index for both periods. The Series was ranked 24th out of 131 for its peer group for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2007.
Profitability. The Board also considered the level of profits realized by PVA and its affiliates in connection with the operation of the Series. In this regard, the Board reviewed the Series profitability analysis that addressed the overall profitability of PVA for its management of The Phoenix Edge Series Fund family, as well as its profits and that of its affiliates, for managing the Series. Specific attention was given to the methodology followed in allocating costs to the Series, since allocation methodologies are inherently subjective and various allocation methodologies may each be reasonable while producing different results. In this result, the Board noted that the allocation profitability to PVA from the Series was reasonable.
Management Fee and Total Expenses. The Board also placed emphasis on the review of Series expenses. Consideration was given to a comparative analysis of the management fees and total expense ratios of the Series compared with those of a group of funds selected by Lipper as the Series’ appropriate Lipper expense peer group as of September 30, 2007. The Board noted that the total expenses of the Series were below the average of total expenses for comparable funds and the contractual management fee was slightly lower than the median for the peer group. The Board was satisfied with the management fee and total expenses of the Series in comparison to its peer group as shown in the Lipper report and concluded that the profitability to PVA from the Series was reasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board noted that it was likely that PVA and the Series would achieve certain economies of scale as the assets grow covering certain fixed costs. The Board concluded that shareholders would have an opportunity to benefit from these economies of scale.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services that were to be provided by the Subadvisor to the Series and its shareholders were reasonable. In addition, they received from Subadvisor and reviewed substantial written information as requested. In the course of deliberations and evaluations of materials, the Trustees considered, among other things the following factors: the Subadvisor, its current personnel (including particularly those personnel with responsibilities for providing investment and compliance services to the Series), and its financial condition, resources and investment process; the terms of the subadvisory agreement, including the standard of care and termination and provisions; the scope and quality of the services that Subadvisor would provide to the Series; the structure and rate of advisory fees payable to Subadvisor to PVA, the methodology used by Subadvisor in determining the compensation payable to portfolio managers and the competition for investment management talent; and the Subadvisor’s compliance record. The Board’s opinion was based, in part, upon the experience of the Subadvisor and the portfolio managers. With respect to portfolio manager compensation, the Board noted that a primary factor in the Subadvisor’s determination of the amount of bonus compensation to portfolio managers was the relative investment performance of the funds that they managed which would align their interests with those of the Series’ shareholders. The Board also considered the adequacy of the Subadvisor’s compliance program, based on the information provided by the Subadvisor.

(“PVA”) and the Fund and the investment subadvisory agreement (the “Subadvisory Agreement”) between PVA and Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Inc. d/b/a Van Kampen (“Van Kampen”) (the “Subadvisor”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, PVA and the Fund, PVA provides advisory services to the Series. Pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement between PVA and Subadvisor, the Subadvisor provides the day-to-day investment management for the Series.
During the review process, the Board received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent legal counsel. In approving each agreement, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that the fee structure was reasonable and that approval of each agreement was in the best interests of the Series and its shareholders. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses the primary factors relevant to the Board’s decision.
ADVISORY AGREEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services to be provided by PVA and its affiliates to the Series and its shareholders were reasonable. The Board’s conclusion was based, in part, upon services provided to the Series such as quarterly reports provided by PVA 1) comparing the performance of the Series with a peer group and benchmark, 2) showing that the investment policies and restrictions for the Series were followed and 3) covering matters such as the compliance of investment personnel and other access persons with the Code of Ethics of PVA and the Series, the adherence to fair value pricing procedures established by the Board, the monitoring of portfolio compliance, information on illiquid securities and derivatives, brokerage commissions and presentations regarding the economic environment and general investment outlook. The Board noted that PVA was responsible for the general oversight of the investment programs of the Series and the monitoring of the Subadvisor’s investment performance and its compliance with applicable laws, regulations, policies and procedures. With respect to compliance monitoring, the Board noted that PVA required quarterly compliance certifications from the Subadvisor and conducted compliance due diligence visits at the Subadvisor. The Board also considered the experience of PVA having acted as an investment adviser to mutual funds for 8 years, its current experience in acting as an investment adviser to 18 mutual funds, and its role under the Fund’s “manager of managers” exemptive relief under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Board also considered the transfer agent and shareholder services that are provided to Series’ shareholders by an affiliate of PVA, noting continuing improvements by management in the scope and quality of services and favorable reports on such service conducted by third parties.
Investment Performance. The Board placed emphasis on the investment performance of the Series in view of its importance to shareholders. While consideration was given to performance reports and discussions at Board meetings throughout the year, particular attention in assessing such performance was given to a report for the Series prepared by Lipper Financial Services (“Lipper”) furnished for the contract renewal process. The Lipper report showed the investment performance of the Series’ shares for the 1, 3, and 5 year periods ended September 30, 2007 and the year-to-date period September 30, 2007. The Board reviewed the investment performance of the Series, along with comparative performance information with a peer group of funds and a relevant market index. The Board noted that the Series had underperformed its benchmark for all periods ended September 30, 2007. The Series was ranked 74th out of 87 for its peer group for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2007. The Board noted that the Subadvisor had been managing the Series for less than twenty-four months in its consideration of the quality of the Subadvisor’s investment performance. The Board further noted that it would review the Subadvisor’s investment performance each quarter in 2008.
Profitability. The Board also considered the level of profits realized by PVA and its affiliates in connection with the operation of the Series. In this regard, the Board reviewed the Series profitability analysis that addressed the overall profitably of PVA for its management of The Phoenix Edge Series Fund family, as well as its profits and that of its affiliates, for managing the Series. Specific attention was given to the methodology followed in allocating costs to the Series, it being recognized that allocation methodologies are inherently subjective and various allocation methodologies may each be reasonable while producing different results. In this regard, the Board noted that the allocation appeared reasonable. The Board also noted that the voluntary reimbursements provided to the Series. The Board concluded that the profitability to PVA from the Series were reasonable.
Management Fee and Total Expenses. The Board also considered the expenses of the Series. Consideration was given to a comparative analysis of the management fees and total expense ratios of the Series compared with those of a group of other funds selected by Lipper as its appropriate Lipper expense group under the Lipper report. The Board noted that the total expenses of the Series were above the average total expenses for comparable funds and that the management fee was above the median for the peer group. The Board was satisfied with the management fee and total expenses of the Series in comparison to its expense group as shown in the Lipper report and concluded that such fee and expenses were reasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board also noted that it was likely that PVA and the Series would achieve certain economies of scale as the assets grew covering certain fixed costs. The Board concluded that shareholders would have an opportunity to benefit from these economies of scale.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND
SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR PHOENIX-VAN KAMPEN COMSTOCK SERIES
(the “Series”) (Continued)
SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services that are to be provided by the Subadvisor to the Series and its shareholders were reasonable. In addition, the Board received from the Subadvisor and reviewed substantial written information as requested. In the course of their deliberations and evaluation of materials, the Trustees considered, among other things the following factors: the Subadvisor, its current personnel (including particularly those personnel with responsibilities for providing investment and compliance services to the Series), and its financial condition, resources and investment process; the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement, including the standard of care and termination provisions; the scope and quality of the services that Subadvisor would provide to the Series; the structure and rate of advisory fees payable to the Subadvisor by PVA, the methodology used by the Subadvisor in determining the compensation payable to portfolio managers and the competition for investment management talent; and the Subadvisor’s compliance record. The Board’s opinion was based upon the extensive experience of the Subadvisor and the portfolio managers. With respect to portfolio manager compensation, the Board noted that a primary factor in the Subadvisor’s determination of the amount of bonus compensation to portfolio managers was the relative investment performance of the funds that they managed which would align their interests with those of the Series’ shareholders. The Board also considered the adequacy of the Subadvisor’s compliance program, based on the information provided by the Subadvisor.
Investment Performance. The Board placed emphasis on the investment performance of the Series in view of its importance to shareholders. While consideration was given to performance reports and discussions at Board meetings throughout the year, particular attention in assessing such performance was given to a report for the Series prepared by Lipper Financial Services (“Lipper”) furnished for the contract renewal process. The Lipper report showed the investment performance of the Series’ shares for the 1, 3, and 5 year periods ended September 30, 2007 and the year-to-date period September 30, 2007. The Board reviewed the investment performance of the Series, along with comparative performance information with a peer group of funds and a relevant market index. The Board noted that the Series had underperformed its benchmark for all periods ended September 30, 2007. The Series was ranked 74th out of 87 for its peer group for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2007. The Board noted that the Subadvisor had been managing the Series for less than twenty-four months in its consideration of the quality of the Subadvisor’s investment performance. The Board further noted that it would review the Subadvisor’s investment performance each quarter in 2008.
Profitability. The Board did not consider profitability information for the Subadvisor noting that the subadvisory fee is paid by PVA and not by the Series.
Subadvisory Fee. The Board did not consider comparative fee information of subadvisory fees but noted that the subadvisory fee is paid by PVA and not by the Series.
Economies of Scale. The Board also considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those economies would be passed along to the Series’ shareholders but noted that any economies would most likely be generated at the fund level and not necessarily at the subadvisor level.

The Board noted that the Series had performed below its benchmark for all the periods ended September 30, 2007. The Series was ranked 125th out of 208 for its peer group for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2007.

IMPORTANT NOTESTOPERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Performance data is historical and cannot predict or guarantee future results. Principal value and investment return will fluctuate with market conditions, and you may have a gain or loss when you withdraw your money. Inception dates of the funds may have preceded the effective dates of the subaccounts, contracts, or their availability in all states.
When reviewing the index comparisons, please keep in mind that indexes have a number of inherent performance differentials over the funds. First, unlike the funds, which must hold a minimum amount of cash to maintain liquidity, indexes do not have a cash component. Second, the funds are actively managed and, thus, are subject to management fees to cover salaries of securities analysts or portfolio managers in addition to other expenses. Indexes are unmanaged and do not include any commissions or other expenses typically associated with investing in securities. Third, indexes often contain a different mix of securities than the fund to which they are compared. Additionally, please remember that indexes are simply a measure of performance and cannot be invested in directly.

In 2007, emerging markets equities had another positive year. Despite problems brought on by the U.S. subprime lending crisis, emerging markets registered a +39.78% gain for the year, bringing cumulative return for the past five years to +390.79% in U.S. dollar terms, as measured by the MSCI EM Index.2 Most stock markets were supported by a robust macroeconomic environment, surging money supply, rising commodity prices, stronger emerging market currencies, improved corporate earnings and significant investment inflows. Periods of increased volatility, however, occurred during the year as nervous investors reacted to subprime concerns and their impact on the global economy as well as overheating concerns in China.
In Asia, India and China were among the top performing markets as both economies continued to benefit from strong economic growth, a large consumer base and vast foreign reserves. Moreover, Chinese stocks listed in Hong Kong were key beneficiaries of the expansion of China’s Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor (QDII) program, which allowed domestic fund managers and brokerages to invest in foreign securities. Neighboring markets in Indonesia, Thailand and South Korea also recorded respectable gains.
Market returns in Latin America benefited from high commodity prices and stronger regional currencies. Accelerating economic growth, high

Fund Risks: The Fund’s investments in stocks offer the potential for long-term gains but can be subject to short-term price fluctuations. Investing in emerging markets is subject to all the risks of foreign investing generally as well as additional, heightened risks, including currency fluctuations, economic instability, market volatility, political and social instability, the relatively smaller size and lesser liquidity of these markets, and less effective or irregular government supervision and regulation of business and industry practices. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

foreign investment flows and lower interest rates pushed the Brazilian stock market to end the year at record high levels. However, Mexico underperformed its regional peers as concerns of slowing growth in the U.S. led investors to stay on the sidelines.
Despite recording double-digit returns, European and African markets underperformed their emerging market counterparts during the year. Turkey, however, significantly outperformed global markets as investors responded favorably to the central bank’s adoption of a loosening monetary policy, improvement in the country’s public finances, as well as the completion of parliamentary and presidential elections. A stronger lira also boosted stock returns in U.S. dollar terms.
Investment Strategy
Our investment philosophy is bottom-up, value-oriented and long-term. In choosing investments, we may make onsite visits to companies to assess critical factors such as management strength and local conditions. In addition, we focus on the market price of a company’s securities relative to our evaluation of the company’s potential long-term (typically five years) earnings, asset value and cash flow potential. Among factors we consider are a company’s historical value measures, including price/earnings ratio, profit margins and liquidation value. We perform in-depth research to construct an action list from which we make our investment decisions.
Manager’s Discussion
For the 12 months under review, the Fund’s exposure to the materials, energy, telecommunication services and bank sectors contributed significantly to absolute performance.3 Within the materials and energy sectors, holdings in Chalco (Aluminum Corp. of China), CVRD (Companhia Vale do Rio Doce), Petrobras (Petroleo Brasileiro) and Tupras (Tupras-Turkiye Petrol Rafinerileri) were among the largest contributors to performance. Rising oil and commodity prices coupled with growing demand for oil, coal and metals in China as well as other emerging markets benefited these companies.
Additional key contributors included Turkcell (Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri) and America Movil in the telecommunication services

sector. Turkish and Brazilian banks, Akbank, Vakifbank (Turkiye Vakiflar Bankasi), Unibanco (Unibanco-Uniao de Bancos Brasileiros) and Banco Bradesco, also boosted Fund performance during the period.
Sectors that detracted from Fund performance included retail and real estate.4 South African stocks Foschini and JD Group declined in value and were the largest detractors in the retail sector during the period. In the real estate sector, Emaar Properties was a major detractor, and we sold it during the period.
Geographically, investments in Brazil, Turkey and China made noteworthy contributions to Fund performance. In addition to stocks discussed earlier, THY (Turk Hava Yollari Anonim Ortakligi), Turkey’s national airline; Souza Cruz, Brazil’s leading major tobacco company; Sinopec (China Petroleum and Chemical), the largest integrated energy company in China; and PetroChina, a dominant player in the upstream oil and gas sector, also supported performance.
It is important to recognize the effect of currency movements on the Fund’s performance. In general, if the value of the U.S. dollar goes up compared with a foreign currency, an investment traded in that foreign currency will go down in value because it will be worth fewer U.S. dollars. This can have a negative effect on Fund performance. Conversely, when the U.S. dollar weakens in relation to a foreign currency, an investment traded in that foreign currency will increase in value, which can contribute to Fund performance. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, the U.S. dollar declined in value relative to most non-U.S. currencies. As a result, the Fund’s performance was positively affected by the portfolio’s investments predominantly in securities with non-U.S. currency exposure. However, one cannot expect the same result in future periods.
During the reporting period, we made significant purchases in Russia, India, Mexico and China (via Hong Kong-listed China H shares).5 Major investments included shares of America Movil, UES (Unified Energy Systems), China Telecom and Sberbank (Savings Bank of Russia).
4. The retail sector comprises specialty retail in the SOI. The real estate sector comprises real estate management and development in the SOI.
5. “China H” denotes shares of China-incorporated, Hong Kong-listed companies with most businesses in China.

We also made select additions in Pakistan, Peru and Chile as we continued to search for undervalued stocks trading at attractive valuations.
From a sector perspective, we increased the Fund’s allocations to several sectors based on what we considered favorable market trends. We expected commodity prices to stay at relatively high levels amid growing global energy demand, so we increased our investments in coal and diversified metals and mining companies.6 Greater global demand for consumer products and services also led us to increase our allocation to integrated telecommunication services, home furnishings and automobile manufacturing companies.7 We also increased the Fund’s exposure to the information technology (IT) consulting industry because of strong demand for outsourcing services.8 We initiated a position in Tata Consultancy Services, India’s leading IT consulting and outsourcing services provider.
To raise funds for redemptions during the reporting period, we sold a number of holdings. These sales also allowed the Fund to focus on stocks we considered relatively more attractively valued within our investment universe. We sold select positions as stocks reached sale price targets. As a result, the Fund’s exposure to the tobacco, semiconductors, diversified banking, and life and health insurance industries fell.9 Major sales included all or part of Remgro, Old Mutual, Samsung Electronics and Hana Financial Group.

Fund Expenses
As an investor in a variable insurance contract (Contract) that indirectly provides for investment in an underlying mutual fund, you can incur transaction and/or ongoing expenses at both the Fund level and the Contract level.
• | | Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, redemption fees, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes. |
• | | Ongoing expenses can include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, contract fees, annual maintenance fees, mortality and expense risk fees and other fees and expenses. All mutual funds and Contracts have some types of ongoing expenses. |
The expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing expenses at the Fund level only and do not include ongoing expenses at the Contract level, or transaction expenses at either the Fund or Contract level. While the Fund does not have transaction expenses, if the transaction and ongoing expenses at the Contract level were included, the expenses shown below would be higher. You should consult your Contract prospectus or disclosure document for more information.
The table shows Fund-level ongoing expenses and can help you understand these expenses and compare them with those of other mutual funds offered through the Contract. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated. Please refer to the Fund prospectus for additional information on operating expenses.
Actual Fund Expenses
The first line (Actual) of the table provides actual account values and expenses. The “Ending Account Value” is derived from the Fund’s actual return, which includes the effect of ongoing Fund expenses, but does not include the effect of ongoing Contract expenses.
You can estimate the Fund-level expenses you incurred during the period by following these steps. Of course, your account value and expenses will differ from those in this illustration:
1. | Divide your account value by $1,000. |
If an account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6.
2. | Multiply the result by the number under the heading “Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period.” |
If Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period were $7.50, then 8.6 x $7.50 = $64.50.
In this illustration, the estimated expenses incurred this period at the Fund level are $64.50.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Mutual Funds
Information in the second line (Hypothetical) of the table can help you compare ongoing expenses of the Fund with those of other mutual funds offered through the Contract. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you incurred during the period. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” is based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund’s actual return. The figure under the heading “Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period” shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds offered through a Contract.
| | | | | | | | | |
Class 1 | | Beginning Account Value 7/1/07 | | Ending Account Value 12/31/07 | | Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period* 7/1/07–12/31/07 |
Actual | | $ | 1,000 | | $ | 1,120.60 | | $ | 7.96 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $ | 1,000 | | $ | 1,017.69 | | $ | 7.58 |
*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (1.49%), which does not include any ongoing expenses of the Contract for which the Fund is an investment option, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust
Notes to Financial Statements
Templeton Developing Markets Securities Fund
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (1940 Act) as an open-end investment company, consisting of twenty-three separate funds. The Templeton Developing Markets Securities Fund (Fund) included in this report is diversified. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.
The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.
a. Security Valuation
Securities listed on a securities exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official closing price of the day, respectively. Over-the-counter securities and listed securities for which there is no reported sale are valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Securities that trade in multiple markets or on multiple exchanges are valued according to the broadest and most representative market.
Government securities generally trade in the over-the-counter market rather than on a securities exchange. The Trust may utilize independent pricing services, quotations from bond dealers, and information with respect to bond and note transactions, to assist in determining a current market value for each security. The Trust’s pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing which considers information with respect to comparable bond and note transactions, quotations from bond dealers, or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in such characteristics as rating, interest rate and maturity date, option adjusted spread models, prepayment projections, interest rate spreads and yield curves, to determine current value.
Foreign securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded, or the NYSE, whichever is earlier. If no sale is reported at that time, the foreign security will be valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the NYSE on the day that the value of the foreign security is determined.
The Trust has procedures to determine the fair value of individual securities and other assets for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. Methods for valuing these securities may include: fundamental analysis, matrix pricing, discounts from market prices of similar securities, or discounts applied due to the nature and duration of restrictions on the disposition of the securities. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such investments existed. Occasionally, events occur between the time at which trading in a security is completed and the close of the NYSE that might call into question the availability (including the reliability) of the value of a portfolio security held by the Fund. The investment manager monitors price movements following the close of trading in foreign stock markets through a series of country specific market proxies (such as baskets of American Depository Receipts, futures contracts and exchange traded funds). These price movements are measured against established trigger thresholds for each specific market proxy to assist in determining if an event has occurred. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services. All security valuation procedures are approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
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. 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. 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees.

Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Templeton Developing Markets Securities Fund
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
b. Foreign Currency Translation (continued)
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 on 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. Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis
The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of holding the securities, it may sell the securities before the settlement date. Sufficient assets have been segregated for these securities.
d. Foreign Currency Contracts
When the Fund purchases or sells foreign securities it may enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of the transactions. A foreign exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at an agreed upon exchange rate at a future date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations.
The risks of these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the possible inability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
e. Total Return Swaps
The Fund may enter into total return swaps. A total return swap is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange a market linked return for a floating rate payment, both based on a notional principal amount. Total return swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from the market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or paid are recorded as a realized gain or loss. The risks of entering into a total return swap include the unfavorable fluctuation of interest rates or the price of the underlying security or index, as well as the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill their obligations under the swap agreement.
f. Income and Deferred Taxes
No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because it is the Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains.
Foreign securities held by the Fund may be subject to foreign taxation on dividend income received. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests.
The Fund may be subject to a tax imposed on net realized gains on securities of certain foreign countries. The Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized gains on these securities in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

Templeton Developing Markets Securities Fund
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
g. 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recognized as soon as the Fund is notified of the ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined according to income tax regulations (tax basis). Distributable earnings determined on a tax basis may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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.
Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated among the funds based on the ratio of net assets of each fund to the combined net assets of the Trust. Fund specific expenses are charged directly to the fund that incurred the expense.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class. Differences in per share distributions, by class, are generally due to differences in class specific expenses.
h. Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
i. Redemption Fees
Redemptions and exchanges of Class 3 shares held 60 days or less may be subject to the Fund’s redemption fee, which is 1% of the amount redeemed. Such fees are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
j. Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified by the Trust against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

5. INCOME TAXES
The Fund has reviewed the tax positions taken on federal income tax returns, for each of the three open tax years and as of December 31, 2007 and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.
For tax purposes, realized currency losses occurring subsequent to October 31, may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. At December 31, 2007, the Fund deferred realized currency losses of $1,080,193.

| | | | |
Distributable earnings | | $ | 286,479,950 | |
| | | | |
Net investment income differs for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to differing treatments of foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment company shares, and foreign capital gain taxes.
Net realized gains (losses) differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment company shares, and foreign capital gain taxes.
6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments (excluding short term securities) for the year ended December 31, 2007, aggregated $1,671,935,243 and $1,811,445,079, respectively.
7. CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Investing in foreign securities may include certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities, such as fluctuating currency values 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.
8. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
As part of various investigations by a number of federal, state, and foreign regulators and governmental entities, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), relating to certain practices in the mutual fund industry, including late trading, market timing and marketing support payments to securities dealers who sell fund shares (“marketing support”), Franklin Resources, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), entered into settlements with certain of those regulators and governmental entities. Specifically, the Company entered into settlements with the SEC, among others, concerning market timing and marketing support.
On June 6, 2007, the SEC posted for public comment the proposed plan of distribution for the market timing settlement. Once the SEC approves the final plan of distribution, disbursements of settlement monies will be made promptly to individuals who were shareholders of the designated funds during the relevant period, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the settlement and plan.

8. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS (continued)
In addition, the Company, as well as most of the mutual funds within Franklin Templeton Investments and certain current or former officers, Company directors, fund directors, and employees, have been named in private lawsuits (styled as shareholder class actions, or as derivative actions on behalf of either the named funds or Franklin Resources, Inc.). The lawsuits relate to the industry practices referenced above.
The Company and fund management believe that the claims made in each of the private lawsuits referenced above are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously. The Company cannot predict with certainty the eventual outcome of these lawsuits, nor whether they will have a material negative impact on the Company. If it is determined that the Company bears responsibility for any unlawful or inappropriate conduct that caused losses to the Fund, it is committed to making the Fund or its shareholders whole, as appropriate.
9. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Trust believes the adoption of SFAS 157 will have no material impact on its financial statements.

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Templeton Developing Markets Securities Fund (one of the funds constituting Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Templeton Foreign Securities Fund – Class 1
Performance reflects the Fund’s Class 1 operating expenses, but does not include any contract fees, expenses or sales charges. If they had been included, performance would be lower. These charges and deductions, particularly for variable life policies, can have a significant effect on contract values and insurance benefits. See the contract prospectus for a complete description of these expenses, including sales charges.
Performance data represent past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares.
Current performance may differ from figures shown.
TF-1
Fund Goal and Main Investments: Templeton Foreign Securities Fund seeks long-term capital growth. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in investments of issuers located outside the U.S., including those in emerging markets, and normally invests predominantly in equity securities.
Performance Overview
You can find the Fund’s one-year total return in the Performance Summary. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, which returned +11.63% for the same period.1 Please note that index performance information is provided for reference and that we do not attempt to track the index but rather undertake investments on the basis of fundamental research.
Economic and Market Overview
In spite of elevated energy prices and widespread fears of contagion from the deteriorating U.S. housing situation, the global economy remained resilient in 2007. Consumer and corporate demand strength, particularly in China and other developing economies, generally favorable employment and accommodative monetary policies continued to underpin the current expansionary period that began in 2002.
These factors also contributed to the strength of global equity markets during 2007. However, concerns about slower growth and declining asset quality surfaced in the first quarter. These were initially centered on the U.S. subprime mortgage market but spread in August to global capital markets. Difficulties in assessing risk and the value of collateral in the structured finance industry contributed to declining risk appetite among lenders and investors. The private equity industry, which relies on the availability of cheap credit, played a pivotal role in several large and high-profile acquisitions and helped boost merger and acquisition activity in the first half of the year. This was an important driver of equity performance, but as liquidity dried up in the second half of the year, significantly slower money flows from private equity weighed on market performance. However, global merger and acquisition activity still reached record levels. The staggering $4.5 trillion of deals announced in 2007 eclipsed the previous record from 2006 by 24%.2

Fund Risks: The Fund’s investments in stocks offer the potential for long-term gains but can be subject to short-term price fluctuations. Foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, involves additional risks, including currency fluctuations, economic instability, market volatility, and political and social instability. By having significant investments in one or more countries or in particular sectors from time to time, the Fund may carry greater risk of adverse developments in a country or sector than a fund that invests more broadly. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.
TF-2
To alleviate the credit crunch and restore investor confidence, the world’s major central banks infused capital into the system, and the U.S. Federal Reserve Board reduced its target interest rate by a full percentage point. However, credit and equity markets continued to face headwinds as write-downs and losses from subprime mortgage financing affected many large financial institutions toward the end of the year, and equity prices remained volatile.
For the year, however, global and non-U.S. equity markets registered the fifth consecutive year of double-digit total returns, making this an exceptionally strong period for investors in global equities. Broad-based stock performance by European and Asian shares at least doubled that of U.S. stocks, while emerging market equity returns more than tripled those in developed markets. Led by the BRIC countries, Brazil, Russia, India and China, emerging market economies continued to grow at accelerated rates, supporting elevated prices for oil and other commodities. At the same time, investment inflows from developed economies continued to underpin equity prices in emerging markets. In addition, U.S. dollar weakness versus the currencies of many major trading partners enhanced equity returns for U.S.-based investors holding stocks denominated in these currencies.
Investment Strategy
Our investment philosophy is bottom-up, value-oriented and long-term. In choosing investments, we generally focus on the market price of a company’s securities relative to our evaluation of the company’s potential long-term earnings, asset value and cash flow. Among factors we consider are a company’s historical value measures, including price/earnings ratio, profit margins and liquidation value. We do in-depth research to construct a bargain list from which we buy.
Manager’s Discussion
The Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark index was positively affected by its overweighted exposure to the consumer discretionary sector.3 The best performing stocks in the sector included French satellite operator Eutelsat Communications, U.K.-based British Sky Broadcasting Group, Dutch publisher Reed Elsevier and Japanese consumer electronics firm Sony (sold by period-end).
3. The consumer discretionary sector comprises auto components; hotels, restaurants and leisure; household durables; media; specialty retail; and textiles, apparel and luxury goods in the SOI.

TF-3
The Fund’s overweighting in the energy sector also boosted relative performance for the year.4 Top performers included Indian energy companies Reliance Industries, Hindustan Petroleum and Indian Oil. In the industrials sector, German conglomerate Siemens as well as wind turbine manufacturers Vestas Wind Systems (Denmark) and Gamesa (Spain) also benefited the Fund.5
Additionally, our overweighted telecommunications services sector exposure also aided relative returns.6 Standout performers included European wireless operators Vodafone Group (U.K.), Turkcell Iletism Hizmetleri (Turkey) and Mobile Telesystems (Russia), European fixed-line operators Telefonica (Spain), Telenor (Norway) and France Telecom, and Asian operators Singapore Telecommunications and China Telecom.
It is important to recognize the effect of currency movements on the Fund’s performance. In general, if the value of the U.S. dollar goes up compared with a foreign currency, an investment traded in that foreign currency will go down in value because it will be worth fewer U.S. dollars. This can have a negative effect on Fund performance. Conversely, when the U.S. dollar weakens in relation to a foreign currency, an investment traded in that foreign currency will increase in value, which can contribute to Fund performance. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, the U.S. dollar fell in value relative to most non-U.S. currencies. As a result, the Fund’s performance was positively affected by the portfolio’s investment predominantly in securities with non-U.S. currency exposure. However, one cannot expect the same result in future periods.
In contrast, returns relative to the benchmark suffered from the Fund’s overweighted position in the information technology sector, which underperformed the index.7 Stocks that lost value in this sector included German semiconductor companies Qimonda and Infineon
4. The energy sector comprises oil, gas and consumable fuels in the SOI.
5. The industrials sector comprises aerospace and defense, air freight and logistics, commercial services and supplies, electrical equipment, and industrial conglomerates in the SOI.
6. The telecommunication services sector comprises diversified telecommunication services and wireless telecommunication services in the SOI.
7. The information technology sector comprises computers and peripherals, electronic equipment and instruments, semiconductors and semiconductor equipment, and software in the SOI.

Technologies, Asian semiconductor manufacturers Samsung Electronics and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, and Japanese companies NEC (sold by period-end) and FUJIFILM Holdings.
The Fund’s relative performance was also negatively impacted by its underweighting in the materials sector, which outperformed the index.8 Specifically, limited exposure to the outperforming metals and mining industry and holdings in European paper companies Stora Enso (Finland), Norske Skogindustrier (Norway) and UPM-Kymmene (Finland) hampered the Fund.
Although the Fund was slightly underweighted in the underperforming financials sector, a number of individual financial holdings declined sharply in value and hurt Fund performance.9 These included U.K.-based Royal Bank of Scotland Group as well as Japan’s Shinsei Bank and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group.

Fund Expenses
As an investor in a variable insurance contract (Contract) that indirectly provides for investment in an underlying mutual fund, you can incur transaction and/or ongoing expenses at both the Fund level and the Contract level.
• | | Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, redemption fees, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes. |
• | | Ongoing expenses can include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, contract fees, annual maintenance fees, mortality and expense risk fees and other fees and expenses. All mutual funds and Contracts have some types of ongoing expenses. |
The expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing expenses at the Fund level only and do not include ongoing expenses at the Contract level, or transaction expenses at either the Fund or Contract level. While the Fund does not have transaction expenses, if the transaction and ongoing expenses at the Contract level were included, the expenses shown below would be higher. You should consult your Contract prospectus or disclosure document for more information.
The table shows Fund-level ongoing expenses and can help you understand these expenses and compare them with those of other mutual funds offered through the Contract. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated. Please refer to the Fund prospectus for additional information on operating expenses.
Actual Fund Expenses
The first line (Actual) of the table provides actual account values and expenses. The “Ending Account Value” is derived from the Fund’s actual return, which includes the effect of ongoing Fund expenses, but does not include the effect of ongoing Contract expenses.
You can estimate the Fund-level expenses you incurred during the period by following these steps. Of course, your account value and expenses will differ from those in this illustration:
1. | Divide your account value by $1,000. |
If an account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6.
2. | Multiply the result by the number under the heading “Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period.” |
If Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period were $7.50, then
8.6 x $7.50 = $64.50.
In this illustration, the estimated expenses incurred this period at the Fund level are $64.50.

TF-6
Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Mutual Funds
Information in the second line (Hypothetical) of the table can help you compare ongoing expenses of the Fund with those of other mutual funds offered through the Contract. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you incurred during the period. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” is based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund’s actual return. The figure under the heading “Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period” shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds offered through a Contract.
| | | | | | | | | |
Class 1 | | Beginning Account Value 7/1/07 | | Ending Account Value 12/31/07 | | Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period* 7/1/07–12/31/07 |
Actual | | $ | 1,000 | | $ | 1,157.90 | | $ | 4.13 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $ | 1,000 | | $ | 1,021.37 | | $ | 3.87 |
*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (0.76%), which does not include any ongoing expenses of the Contract for which the Fund is an investment option, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust
Notes to Financial Statements
Templeton Foreign Securities Fund
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (1940 Act) as an open-end investment company, consisting of twenty-three separate funds. The Templeton Foreign Securities Fund (Fund) included in this report is diversified. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.
The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.
a. Security Valuation
Securities listed on a securities exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official closing price of the day, respectively. Over-the-counter securities and listed securities for which there is no reported sale are valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Securities that trade in multiple markets or on multiple exchanges are valued according to the broadest and most representative market. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value.
Foreign securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded, or the NYSE, whichever is earlier. If no sale is reported at that time, the foreign security will be valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the NYSE on the day that the value of the foreign security is determined.
The Trust has procedures to determine the fair value of individual securities and other assets for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. Methods for valuing these securities may include: fundamental analysis, matrix pricing, discounts from market prices of similar securities, or discounts applied due to the nature and duration of restrictions on the disposition of the securities. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such investments existed. Occasionally, events occur between the time at which trading in a security is completed and the close of the NYSE that might call into question the availability (including the reliability) of the value of a portfolio security held by the Fund. The investment manager monitors price movements following the close of trading in foreign stock markets through a series of country specific market proxies (such as baskets of American Depository Receipts, futures contracts and exchange traded funds). These price movements are measured against established trigger thresholds for each specific market proxy to assist in determining if an event has occurred. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services. All security valuation procedures are approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
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. 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. 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees.
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 on the Statement of Operations.
TF-18
Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Templeton Foreign Securities Fund
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
b. Foreign Currency Translation (continued)
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. Foreign Currency Contracts
When the Fund purchases or sells foreign securities it may enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of the transactions. A foreign exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at an agreed upon exchange rate at a future date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations.
The risks of these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the possible inability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
d. Income and Deferred Taxes
No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because it is the Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains.
Foreign securities held by the Fund may be subject to foreign taxation on dividend income received. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests.
The Fund may be subject to a tax imposed on net realized gains on securities of certain foreign countries. The Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized gains on these securities in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.
e. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recognized as soon as the Fund is notified of the ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined according to income tax regulations (tax basis). Distributable earnings determined on a tax basis may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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.
Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated among the funds based on the ratio of net assets of each fund to the combined net assets of the Trust. Fund specific expenses are charged directly to the fund that incurred the expense.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class. Differences in per share distributions, by class, are generally due to differences in class specific expenses.

f. Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
g. Redemption Fees
Redemptions and exchanges of Class 3 shares held 60 days or less may be subject to the fund’s redemption fee, which is 1% of the amount redeemed. Such fees are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
h. Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified by the Trust against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
2. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

5. INCOME TAXES
The Fund has reviewed the tax positions taken on federal income tax returns, for each of the three open tax years and as of December 31, 2007 and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.

| | | | | | |
| | 2007 | | 2006 |

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments (excluding short term securities) for the year ended December 31, 2007, aggregated $997,801,739 and $1,004,038,466, respectively.

9. REDEMPTION IN-KIND
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Fund realized $34,808,242 of net gains resulting from a redemption in-kind in which a shareholder redeemed fund shares for securities held by the Fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the Fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.
10. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
As part of various investigations by a number of federal, state, and foreign regulators and governmental entities, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), relating to certain practices in the mutual fund industry, including late trading, market timing and marketing support payments to securities dealers who sell fund shares (“marketing support”), Franklin Resources, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), entered into settlements with certain of those regulators and governmental entities. Specifically, the Company entered into settlements with the SEC, among others, concerning market timing and marketing support.
On June 6, 2007, the SEC posted for public comment the proposed plan of distribution for the market timing settlement. Once the SEC approves the final plan of distribution, disbursements of settlement monies will be made promptly to individuals who were shareholders of the designated funds during the relevant period, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the settlement and plan.
In addition, the Company, as well as most of the mutual funds within Franklin Templeton Investments and certain current or former officers, Company directors, fund directors, and employees, have been named in private lawsuits (styled as shareholder class actions, or as derivative actions on behalf of either the named funds or Franklin Resources, Inc.). The lawsuits relate to the industry practices referenced above.
The Company and fund management believe that the claims made in each of the private lawsuits referenced above are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously. The Company cannot predict with certainty the eventual outcome of these lawsuits, nor whether they will have a material negative impact on the Company. If it is determined that the Company bears responsibility for any unlawful or inappropriate conduct that caused losses to the Fund, it is committed to making the Trust or its shareholders whole, as appropriate.
11. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Trust believes the adoption of SFAS 157 will have no material impact on its financial statements.

At December 31, 2007, more than 50% of the Fund’s total assets were invested in securities of foreign issuers. In most instances, foreign taxes were withheld from income paid to the Fund on these investments. The Fund elects to treat foreign taxes paid as allowed under Section 853 of the Code. This election will allow shareholders of record as of the 2008 distribution date, to treat their proportionate share of foreign taxes paid by the Fund as having been paid directly by them. The shareholder shall consider these amounts as foreign taxes paid in the tax year in which they receive the Fund distribution.

TEMPLETON GLOBAL ASSET ALLOCATION FUND
This annual report for Templeton Global Asset Allocation Fund covers the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
Performance Summary as of 12/31/07
Average annual total return of Class 1 shares* represents the average annual change in value, assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Average returns smooth out variations in returns, which can be significant; they are not the same as year-by-year results.
Periods ended 12/31/07
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | 1-Year | | 5-Year | | 10-Year |
Average Annual Total Return | | | | +10.32% | | +16.36% | | +9.24% |
*Performance prior to the 5/1/00 merger reflects historical performance of Templeton Asset Allocation Fund. The manager and administrator have contractually agreed to waive or limit their respective fees so that total annual Fund operating expenses for Class 1 shares do not exceed 0.83% (other than (i) acquired fund fees and expenses and (ii) certain non-routine expenses) until 4/30/09. If the manager and administrator had not waived fees, the Fund’s total returns would have been lower.

Templeton Global Asset Allocation Fund – Class 1
Performance reflects the Fund’s Class 1 operating expenses, but does not include any contract fees, expenses or sales charges. If they had been included, performance would be lower. These charges and deductions, particularly for variable life policies, can have a significant effect on contract values and insurance benefits. See the contract prospectus for a complete description of these expenses, including sales charges.
Performance data represent past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares.

TGA-1
Fund Goal and Main Investments: Templeton Global Asset Allocation Fund seeks high total return. The Fund normally invests in equity securities of companies of any country, debt securities of companies and governments of any country, and in money market securities. The Fund normally invests substantially to primarily in equity securities.
Performance Overview
You can find the Fund’s one-year total return in the Performance Summary. The Fund underperformed its broad equity benchmark, the MSCI AC World Index, which returned +12.18% for the period under review, and underperformed its fixed income benchmark, the JPM GBI Global, which had a +10.81% total return for the same period.1
Economic and Market Overview
In spite of elevated energy prices and widespread fears of contagion from the deteriorating U.S. housing situation, the global economy remained resilient in 2007. Consumer and corporate demand strength, particularly in China and other developing economies, generally favorable employment and accommodative monetary policies continued to underpin the current expansionary period that began in 2002.
These factors also contributed to the strength of global equity markets during 2007. However, concerns about slower growth and declining asset quality surfaced in the first quarter. These were initially centered on the U.S. subprime mortgage market but spread in August to global capital markets. Difficulties in assessing risk and the value of collateral in the structured finance industry contributed to declining risk appetite among lenders and investors. The private equity industry, which relies on the availability of cheap credit, played a pivotal role in several large and high-profile acquisitions and helped boost merger and acquisition activity in the first half of the year. This was an important driver of equity performance, but as liquidity dried up in the second half of the year, significantly slower money flows from private equity weighed on market performance. However, global merger and acquisition activity still reached record levels. The staggering $4.5 trillion of deals announced in 2007 eclipsed the previous record from 2006 by 24%.2

Fund Risks: The Fund’s investments in stocks offer the potential for long-term gains but can be subject to short-term price fluctuations. Foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, involves additional risks, including currency fluctuations, economic instability, market volatility, and political and social instability. Because the Fund invests in bonds and other debt obligations, its share price and yield will be affected by interest rate movements. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as prices of bonds in the Fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the Fund’s share price may decline. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

To alleviate the credit crunch and restore investor confidence, the world’s major central banks infused capital into the system, and the U.S. Federal Reserve Board reduced its target interest rate by a full percentage point. However, credit and equity markets continued to face headwinds as write-downs and losses from subprime mortgage financing affected many large financial institutions toward the end of the year, and equity prices remained volatile.
For the year, however, global and non-U.S. equity markets registered the fifth consecutive year of double-digit total returns, making this an exceptionally strong period for investors in global equities. Broad-based stock performance by European and Asian shares at least doubled that of U.S. stocks, while emerging market equity returns more than tripled those in developed markets. Led by the BRIC countries, Brazil, Russia, India and China, emerging market economies continued to grow at accelerated rates, supporting elevated prices for oil and other commodities. At the same time, investment inflows from developed economies continued to underpin equity prices in emerging markets. In addition, U.S. dollar weakness versus the currencies of many major trading partners enhanced equity returns for U.S.-based investors holding stocks denominated in these currencies.
China continued to lead the Asian region’s economic expansion, where the country’s surging domestic demand became an increasingly important growth source for other Asian economies through trade. Continued rapid expansion led to fears China’s economy was overheating as inflation picked up during the year. Thus, monetary authorities increased interest rates and even allowed the yuan to appreciate slightly. India encountered similar conditions, and Indian monetary authorities responded by increasing the target interest rate. However, this had little effect on slowing private investment growth. Japan’s economy continued to lag. Consequently, the Japanese central bank kept rates on hold for the second half of the year after raising them 25 basis points (one-quarter percentage point) earlier. Low growth levels and interest rates by international standards led to continued weakness in the yen until risk aversion rose at the end of the year, prompting carry trades to unwind.
European economic growth remained quite strong in 2007, although fears regarding the U.K.’s and eurozone’s future growth paths emerged following the credit crunch. Labor markets strengthened across the region and monetary conditions tightened. The European Central Bank raised rates 50 basis points during the period as growth was strong in
What is a carry trade?
Carry trade is a strategy in which an investor sells a certain currency with a relatively low interest rate and uses the funds to purchase a different currency yielding a higher interest rate. A trader using this strategy attempts to capture the difference between the rates, which can often be substantial, depending on the amount of leverage the investor chooses to use.

the first half of the year, particularly in Germany. Much of non-euro Europe enjoyed even stronger growth, although some economies were hurt as negative sentiment spread from the U.S. housing market across the Atlantic. In the U.K., housing market weakness combined with financial market troubles caused enough worries for the Bank of England to cut interest rates 25 basis points in December after just raising them in July.
Investment Strategy
Our investment philosophy is bottom-up, value-oriented and long-term. In choosing equity investments, we will focus on the market price of a company’s securities relative to our evaluation of the company’s potential long-term earnings, asset value and cash flow. Among factors we may consider are a company’s historical value measures, including price/earnings ratio, profit margins and liquidation value.
In choosing debt investments, we allocate our assets among issuers, geographic regions and currencies based upon our assessment of relative interest rates among currencies, our outlook for changes in interest rates among currencies, and credit risks. With respect to debt securities, we may also from time to time make use of forward currency exchange contracts (hedging instruments) to protect against currency risk.
Manager’s Discussion
Equity
The Fund’s performance relative to its equity benchmark index benefited from its overweighting in the industrials sector, which outperformed the index.3 The Fund’s best performing stocks in the sector included wind turbine manufacturers Gamesa (Spain) and Vestas Wind Systems (Denmark), as well as U.K. aerospace operators BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce Group, and German conglomerate Siemens.
The Fund’s overweighted exposure to the telecommunication services sector also aided relative performance.4 Top performers in the Fund included Telefonica (Spain), Singapore Telecommunications, France Telecom, Vodafone Group (U.K.), Telenor (Norway) and Telefonos de Mexico (sold by period-end).

4. The telecommunication services sector comprises diversified telecommunication services and wireless telecommunication services in the SOI.

Additionally, our overweighted information technology sector exposure contributed to relative Fund results.5 Standout performers included Japanese software maker Nintendo, U.S. software companies Oracle and Microsoft, and Japanese industrial electronics company Hitachi.
It is important to recognize the effect of currency movements on the Fund’s performance. In general, if the value of the U.S. dollar goes up compared with a foreign currency, an investment traded in that foreign currency will go down in value because it will be worth fewer U.S. dollars. This can have a negative effect on Fund performance. Conversely, when the U.S. dollar weakens in relation to a foreign currency, an investment traded in that foreign currency will increase in value, which can contribute to Fund performance. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, the U.S. dollar declined in value relative to most non-U.S. currencies. As a result, the Fund’s performance (equity portion) was positively affected by the portfolio’s investment primarily in securities with non-U.S. currency exposure. However, one cannot expect the same result in future periods.
In contrast, performance relative to the equity benchmark was hurt by the Fund’s overweighted exposure to the consumer discretionary sector, which underperformed the index.6 The Fund’s stocks that lost value in this sector included U.S. retailers Chico’s FAS and Target as well as U.S. media companies Comcast, The DIRECTV Group and Time Warner.
Overweighted exposure to the lagging health care sector was also detrimental.7 Within this sector, the Fund suffered from weak U.S. holdings such as medical products company Boston Scientific, hospital operator Tenet Healthcare, pharmaceutical manufacturer Pfizer and biotechnology firm Amgen.
The Fund’s relative performance was also negatively impacted by its underweighting in the materials sector, which outperformed the equity index.8 Specifically, limited exposure to the outperforming metals and

Fixed Income
Interest Rate Strategy
For most of the 12-month reporting period, the Fund maintained its overall short duration positioning seeking to take advantage of global interest rate tightening resulting from strong economic growth in most economies. However, we found some opportunities to take advantage of local interest rate reductions. For example, the Indonesian central bank reduced interest rates 175 basis points over the period, continuing its interest rate normalization process as inflation remained under control. Indonesia returned +11.07% in local currency terms over the period, as measured by the JPM GBI–Emerging Markets.9 Another positive local market was Brazil, where its central bank reduced interest rates 200 basis points during the period to 11.25%, which supported local bond market returns of +9.81% in local currency terms.9 The central bank held interest rates constant throughout the fourth quarter as the economy accelerated, inflation picked up, and the large monetary action’s impact began to be felt. As global growth concerns surfaced later in the year, the Fund selectively increased its interest rate exposure, which lengthened the portfolio’s duration.
Currency Strategy
Our currency strategy remained relatively unchanged over the period, predicated on our medium-term view on the gradual unwinding of global imbalances, which began during the period. These imbalances centered on strong U.S. consumption growth and, consequently, a large U.S. current account deficit, versus low domestic demand in most Asian countries and corresponding Asian current account surpluses. As a result, the Fund benefited from its significantly underweighted U.S. dollar exposure relative to the JPM GBI Global, as the dollar depreciated 10.00% against the U.S.’s major trading partners.10 The imbalance began unwinding as the U.S. trade deficit contracted toward year-end because of U.S. exports’ improved competitiveness due to a weaker dollar. However, the deficit was still quite large on a historical basis. The U.S. dollar weakened further when the Federal Reserve Board cut interest rates during the period, well ahead of other central banks, as the credit crunch affected the U.S. economy more than other countries.

What is balance of payments?
Balance of payments is a record of all of a country’s exports and imports of goods and services, borrowing and lending with the rest of the world during a particular time period. It helps a country evaluate its competitive strengths and weaknesses and forecast the strength of its currency.
What is duration?
Duration is a measure of a bond’s price sensitivity to interest rate changes. In general, a portfolio of securities with a lower duration can be expected to be less sensitive to interest rate changes than a portfolio with a higher duration.

One currency that appreciated strongly against the U.S. dollar was the Canadian dollar, which rose 17.91% against the U.S. dollar during the period and contributed to relative performance because of the Fund’s overweighted exposure.11 The Canadian dollar benefited from high prices for many of the country’s natural resource exports and a strong domestic economy. Toward period-end, the weak U.S. economy began to negatively impact Canada’s growth prospects and led us to reduce the Fund’s Canadian dollar allocation prior to the Canadian dollar’s poor performance during the last quarter of 2007. The Fund’s overweighted exposure to the Brazilian real boosted the Fund’s relative performance even more as the currency appreciated 19.94% against the U.S. dollar during the year.11, 12 The real benefited from very strong inflows from trade and investment.
European currencies also appreciated against the U.S. dollar over the period. The Fund had limited direct exposure to the euro, and was instead positioned to capture the benefit of euro appreciation through exposure to non-euro European currencies that are closely linked to the euro region. The euro appreciated 10.87% versus the U.S. dollar during the period as growth remained strong and the interest rate differential with the U.S. shrank significantly.11 Although our limited exposure to the euro’s strong return hurt relative performance, the Fund benefited from its overweighted exposures to the Polish zloty and Norwegian krone.12 Similar to the Scandinavian economies, the Polish economy also exhibited tightening labor market conditions given strong GDP growth of more than 6% in the third quarter of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006.13 Strong economic growth created jobs at the same time that there was significant emigration from Poland. Prospects for wage pressures prompted the central bank to raise interest rates during the period, supporting currency performance. The Swedish krona detracted from relative performance as it appreciated only 5.88% against the U.S. dollar over the period.11 The Fund’s biggest allocation change during the period was the addition of the Swiss franc, which appreciated 3.18% during the fourth quarter benefiting from increased risk aversion.11
Asian currency performance was mixed during the year. The currency that comprised the largest portion of the Fund was the Japanese yen, though our exposure was still substantially below the benchmark’s. The yen, which appreciated 6.66% against the U.S. dollar over the period,

Global Sovereign Debt Strategy
The Fund purchased investment-grade and subinvestment-grade sovereign debt that typically compensates for greater credit risk by offering higher yields relative to U.S. and European benchmark Treasury securities. Tighter credit conditions resulted in wider sovereign credit spreads despite improving fundamentals in most economies. Sovereign interest rate credit spreads increased from 171 basis points at the beginning of the reporting period to 255 basis points by period-end. However, declining U.S. interest rates benefited the performance of these dollar-denominated bonds. Largely as a result, U.S. dollar-denominated emerging market debt returned +6.28% over the period, as measured by the JPM Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global.9 Regionally, Latin American sovereign debt returned +5.15%, Asian +6.14%, and central and eastern European +7.91%.9 Euro-denominated markets underperformed the index, returning 1.22% in euro terms, as measured by the JPM Euro EMBI Global.9 The Fund maintained limited exposure to sovereign debt during the period.

Fund Expenses
As an investor in a variable insurance contract (Contract) that indirectly provides for investment in an underlying mutual fund, you can incur transaction and/or ongoing expenses at both the Fund level and the Contract level.
• | | Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, redemption fees, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes. |
• | | Ongoing expenses can include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, contract fees, annual maintenance fees, mortality and expense risk fees and other fees and expenses. All mutual funds and Contracts have some types of ongoing expenses. |
The expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing expenses at the Fund level only and do not include ongoing expenses at the Contract level, or transaction expenses at either the Fund or Contract level. While the Fund does not have transaction expenses, if the transaction and ongoing expenses at the Contract level were included, the expenses shown below would be higher. You should consult your Contract prospectus or disclosure document for more information.
The table shows Fund-level ongoing expenses and can help you understand these expenses and compare them with those of other mutual funds offered through the Contract. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated. Please refer to the Fund prospectus for additional information on operating expenses.
Actual Fund Expenses
The first line (Actual) of the table provides actual account values and expenses. The “Ending Account Value” is derived from the Fund’s actual return, which includes the effect of ongoing Fund expenses, but does not include the effect of ongoing Contract expenses.
You can estimate the Fund-level expenses you incurred during the period by following these steps. Of course, your account value and expenses will differ from those in this illustration:
1. | Divide your account value by $1,000. |
If an account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6.
2. | Multiply the result by the number under the heading “Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period.” |
If Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period were $7.50, then 8.6 x $7.50 = $64.50.
In this illustration, the estimated expenses incurred this period at the Fund level are $64.50.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Mutual Funds
Information in the second line (Hypothetical) of the table can help you compare ongoing expenses of the Fund with those of other mutual funds offered through the Contract. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you incurred during the period. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” is based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund’s actual return. The figure under the heading “Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period” shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds offered through a Contract.

Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $ | 1,000 | | $ | 1,020.97 | | $ | 4.28 |
*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio, net of expense waiver, for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (0.84%), which does not include any ongoing expenses of the Contract for which the Fund is an investment option, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Templeton Global Asset Allocation Fund
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (1940 Act) as an open-end investment company, consisting of twenty-three separate funds. The Templeton Global Asset Allocation Fund (Fund) included in this report is diversified. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Class 1 and Class 2. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.
The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.
a. Security Valuation
Securities listed on a securities exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official closing price of the day, respectively. Over-the-counter securities and listed securities for which there is no reported sale are valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Securities that trade in multiple markets or on multiple exchanges are valued according to the broadest and most representative market. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value.
Government securities generally trade in the over-the-counter market rather than on a securities exchange. The Trust may utilize independent pricing services, quotations from bond dealers, and information with respect to bond and note transactions, to assist in determining a current market value for each security. The Trust’s pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing which considers information with respect to comparable bond and note transactions, quotations from bond dealers, or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in such characteristics as rating, interest rate and maturity date, option adjusted spread models, prepayment projections, interest rate spreads and yield curves, to determine current value.
Foreign securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded, or the NYSE, whichever is earlier. If no sale is reported at that time, the foreign security will be valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the NYSE on the day that the value of the foreign security is determined.
The Trust has procedures to determine the fair value of individual securities and other assets for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. Methods for valuing these securities may include: fundamental analysis, matrix pricing, discounts from market prices of similar securities, or discounts applied due to the nature and duration of restrictions on the disposition of the securities. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such investments existed. Occasionally, events occur between the time at which trading in a security is completed and the close of the NYSE that might call into question the availability (including the reliability) of the value of a portfolio security held by the Fund. The investment manager monitors price movements following the close of trading in foreign stock markets through a series of country specific market proxies (such as baskets of American Depository Receipts, futures contracts and exchange traded funds). These price movements are measured against established trigger thresholds for each specific market proxy to assist in determining if an event has occurred. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services. All security valuation procedures are approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
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. 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

b. Foreign Currency Translation (continued)
date. 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees.
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 on 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. Foreign Currency Contracts
When the Fund purchases or sells foreign securities it may enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of the transactions. A foreign exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at an agreed upon exchange rate at a future date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund may also enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. These contracts are valued daily by the Fund and the unrealized gains or losses on the contracts, as measured by the difference between the contractual forward foreign exchange rates and the forward rates at the reporting date, are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations.
The risks of these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the possible inability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
d. Income Taxes
No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because it is the Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains.
Foreign securities held by the Fund may be subject to foreign taxation on dividend and interest income received. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests.
e. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities are included in interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recognized as soon as the Fund is notified of the ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined according to income tax regulations (tax basis). Distributable earnings determined on a tax basis may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts to reflect their tax character.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
e. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions (continued)
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.
Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated among the funds based on the ratio of net assets of each fund to the combined net assets of the Trust. Fund specific expenses are charged directly to the fund that incurred the expense.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class. Differences in per share distributions, by class, are generally due to differences in class specific expenses.
Inflation-indexed bonds provide an inflation hedge through periodic increases in the security’s interest accruals and principal redemption value, by amounts corresponding to the current rate of inflation. Any such adjustments, including adjustments to principal redemption value, are recorded as interest income.
f. Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
g. Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified by the Trust against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
2. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, was as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | 2007 | | 2006 |
Distributions paid from: | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 26,602,578 | | $ | 23,239,156 |
Long term capital gain | | | 31,858,164 | | | 20,175,076 |

9. CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Investing in foreign securities may include certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities, such as fluctuating currency values 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.
10. REDEMPTION IN-KIND
During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Fund realized $51,446,118 and $67,648,833, respectively, of net gains resulting from redemptions in-kind in which a shareholder redeemed fund shares for securities held by the Fund rather

than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the Fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.
11. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
As part of various investigations by a number of federal, state, and foreign regulators and governmental entities, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), relating to certain practices in the mutual fund industry, including late trading, market timing and marketing support payments to securities dealers who sell fund shares (“marketing support”), Franklin Resources, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), entered into settlements with certain of those regulators and governmental entities. Specifically, the Company entered into settlements with the SEC, among others, concerning market timing and marketing support.
On June 6, 2007, the SEC posted for public comment the proposed plan of distribution for the market timing settlement. Once the SEC approves the final plan of distribution, disbursements of settlement monies will be made promptly to individuals who were shareholders of the designated funds during the relevant period, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the settlement and plan.
In addition, the Company, as well as most of the mutual funds within Franklin Templeton Investments and certain current or former officers, Company directors, fund directors, and employees, have been named in private lawsuits (styled as shareholder class actions, or as derivative actions on behalf of either the named funds or Franklin Resources, Inc.). The lawsuits relate to the industry practices referenced above.
The Company and fund management believe that the claims made in each of the private lawsuits referenced above are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously. The Company cannot predict with certainty the eventual outcome of these lawsuits, nor whether they will have a material negative impact on the Company. If it is determined that the Company bears responsibility for any unlawful or inappropriate conduct that caused losses to the Trust, it is committed to making the Trust or its shareholders whole, as appropriate.
12. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Trust believes the adoption of SFAS 157 will have no material impact on its financial statements.

Fund Goal and Main Investments: Templeton Global Income Securities Fund seeks high current income, consistent with preservation of capital, with capital appreciation as a secondary consideration. The Fund normally invests mainly in debt securities of governments and their political subdivisions and agencies, supranational organizations and companies located anywhere in the world, including emerging markets.
Performance Overview
You can find the Fund’s one-year total return in the Performance Summary. The Fund performed comparably to its benchmark, the JPM GBI Global, which had a +10.81% total return in U.S. dollar terms for the year under review.1
Economic and Market Overview
Global economic growth remained strong during the reporting period despite a credit crunch in the second half of the year prompted by the deteriorating U.S. housing sector. Robust economic growth in many emerging markets contrasted with more moderate growth in developed markets where lack of financial liquidity had a larger impact. The rapid rise among developing economies resulted in increased demand from local consumers. Increased food and energy consumption led to high commodity prices throughout the year, benefiting countries exporting these goods. High prices also contributed to inflationary pressures already present in several economies after years of continued above-trend growth. Strong economic growth and rising interest rates in many economies contrasted with the U.S.’s weak growth and falling interest rates, which caused significant U.S. dollar depreciation during the year.
China continued to lead the Asian region’s economic expansion, posting greater than 11% increases in gross domestic product (GDP) in the first three quarters of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006 (year-over-year).2 China’s surging domestic demand became an increasingly important growth source for other Asian economies through trade. For example, Chinese imports from Asia increased 18% in the first 11 months of 2007 year-over-year.2 Continued rapid expansion led to fears China’s economy was overheating as inflation picked up. The potential repercussions of allowing the expansion to continue unchecked were compounded by the local equity markets’ solid performance. Thus, monetary authorities increased interest rates and even allowed the yuan

Fund Risks: Because the Fund invests in bonds and other debt obligations, its share price and yield will be affected by interest rate movements. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as prices of bonds in the Fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the Fund’s share price may decline. High yield, lower-rated (junk) bonds generally have greater price swings and higher default risks than investment-grade bonds. Foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, involves additional risks including currency fluctuations, economic instability, market volatility, and political and social instability. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

to appreciate slightly. India encountered similar conditions as it posted around 9% GDP growth in the first three quarters of 2007 year-over-year.2 Indian monetary authorities responded by raising the target interest rate 50 basis points (half a percentage point) during the year. However, this had little effect on private investment growth. Japan continued to fall behind as the country registered GDP growth below 2% in the second and third quarters of 2007 year-over-year.3 Consequently, the Japanese central bank kept rates on hold for the second half of the year after raising them 25 basis points earlier. Low growth levels and interest rates by international standards led to continued yen weakness until risk aversion rose at the end of the year, prompting carry trades to unwind.
European economic growth remained quite strong in 2007, although fears regarding the U.K.’s and eurozone’s future growth paths emerged following the credit crunch. Labor markets strengthened across the region and monetary conditions tightened. The European Central Bank raised rates 50 basis points during the period as growth was strong in the first half of the year, particularly in Germany. Non-euro Europe enjoyed even stronger growth. Norway grew 6.6% in the third quarter year-over-year, prompting the central bank to raise interest rates 25 basis points in December despite financial market volatility.2 The labor market underpinned the nation’s growth as the unemployment rate fell to 1.6% in December from 2.1% a year earlier.4 Some European economies expanded more modestly, particularly where the housing market slowed, such as in Spain and the U.K. These residential markets, after recently showing some of the strongest growth, were hurt as negative sentiment spread from the U.S. housing market across the Atlantic. In the U.K., housing market weakness combined with financial market troubles caused enough worries for the Bank of England to cut interest rates 25 basis points in December after just raising them in July.

What is a carry trade?
Carry trade is a strategy in which an investor sells a certain currency with a relatively low interest rate and uses the funds to purchase a different currency yielding a higher interest rate. A trader using this strategy attempts to capture the difference between the rates, which can often be substantial, depending on the amount of leverage the investor chooses to use.
TGI-3
Investment Strategy
We allocate the Fund’s assets among issuers, geographic regions, and currencies based upon our assessment of relative interest rates among currencies, our outlook for changes in interest rates and currencies, and credit risks. In considering these factors, we may evaluate a country’s changing market, economic and political conditions, such as inflation rate, growth prospects, global trade patterns and government policies. We seek to manage the Fund’s exposure to various currencies, and may from time to time seek to hedge (protect) against currency risk by using forward currency exchange contracts.
Manager’s Discussion
The Fund’s total return was influenced by various factors, including interest rate developments, currency movements, and exposure to sovereign debt markets.
Interest Rate Strategy
For most of the 12-month reporting period, the Fund maintained its overall short duration positioning seeking to take advantage of global interest rate tightening resulting from strong economic growth in most economies. However, we found some opportunities to take advantage of local interest rate reductions. For example, the Indonesian central bank reduced interest rates 175 basis points over the period, continuing its interest rate normalization process as inflation remained under control. Indonesia returned +11.07% in local currency terms over the period, as measured by the JPM GBI–Emerging Markets.5 Another positive local market was Brazil, where its central bank reduced interest rates 200 basis points during the period to 11.25%, which supported local bond market returns of +9.81% in local currency terms.5 The central bank held interest rates constant throughout the fourth quarter as the economy accelerated, inflation picked up, and the large monetary action’s impact began to be felt. As global growth concerns surfaced later in the year, the Fund selectively increased its interest rate exposure, which lengthened the portfolio’s duration.
Currency Strategy
Our currency strategy remained relatively unchanged over the period, predicated on our medium-term view on the gradual unwinding of global imbalances, which began during the period. These imbalances centered on strong U.S. consumption growth and, consequently, a large

U.S. current account deficit, versus low domestic demand in most Asian countries and corresponding Asian current account surpluses. As a result, the Fund benefited from its significantly underweighted U.S. dollar exposure relative to the JPM GBI Global, as the dollar depreciated 10.00% against the U.S.’s major trading partners.6 The imbalance began unwinding as the U.S. trade deficit contracted toward year-end because of U.S. exports’ improved competitiveness due to a weaker dollar. However, the deficit was still quite large on a historical basis. The U.S. dollar weakened further when the Federal Reserve Board cut interest rates during the period, well ahead of other central banks, as the credit crunch affected the U.S. economy more than other countries. One currency that appreciated strongly against the U.S. dollar was the Canadian dollar, which rose 17.91% against the U.S. dollar during the period and contributed to relative performance because of the Fund’s overweighted exposure.7 The Canadian dollar benefited from high prices for many of the country’s natural resource exports and a strong domestic economy. Toward period-end, the weak U.S. economy began to negatively impact Canada’s growth prospects and led us to reduce the Fund’s Canadian dollar allocation prior to the Canadian dollar’s poor performance during the last quarter of 2007. The Fund’s overweighted exposure to the Brazilian real boosted the Fund’s relative performance even more as the currency appreciated 19.94% against the U.S. dollar during the year.7, 8 The real benefited from very strong inflows from trade and investment.
European currencies also appreciated against the U.S. dollar over the period. The Fund had limited direct exposure to the euro, and was instead positioned to capture the benefit of euro appreciation through exposure to non-euro European currencies that are closely linked to the euro region. The euro appreciated 10.87% versus the U.S. dollar during the period as growth remained strong and the interest rate differential with the U.S. shrank significantly.7 Although our limited exposure to the euro’s strong return hurt relative performance, the Fund benefited from its overweighted exposures to the Polish zloty and Norwegian krone.8 Similar to the Scandinavian economies, the Polish economy also exhibited tightening labor market conditions given strong GDP growth

of more than 6% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2007.9 Strong economic growth created jobs at the same time that there was significant emigration from Poland. Prospects for wage pressures prompted the central bank to raise interest rates during the period, supporting currency performance. The Swedish krona detracted from relative performance as it appreciated only 5.88% against the U.S. dollar over the period.7 The Fund’s biggest allocation change during the period was the addition of the Swiss franc, which appreciated 3.18% during the fourth quarter benefiting from increased risk aversion.7
Asian currency performance was mixed during the year. The currency that comprised the largest portion of the Fund was the Japanese yen, though our exposure was still substantially below the benchmark’s. The yen, which appreciated 6.66% against the U.S. dollar over the period, lagged other major currencies until risk aversion increased in the second half of the year leading to the unwinding of carry trades.7 Among other Asian currencies, the Malaysian ringgit appreciated 6.68% against the U.S. dollar, the South Korean won depreciated 0.65%, and the Indonesian rupiah depreciated 4.25%.7 Our overweighted allocations in these currencies hurt the Fund’s relative performance.8
Global Sovereign Debt Strategy
The Fund purchased investment-grade and subinvestment-grade sovereign debt that typically compensates for greater credit risk by offering higher yields relative to U.S. and European benchmark Treasury securities. Tighter credit conditions resulted in wider sovereign credit spreads despite improving fundamentals in most economies. Sovereign interest rate credit spreads increased from 171 basis points at the beginning of the reporting period to 255 basis points by period-end. However, declining U.S. interest rates benefited the performance of these dollar-denominated bonds. Largely as a result, U.S. dollar-denominated emerging market debt returned +6.28% over the period, as measured by the JPM Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global.5 Regionally, Latin American sovereign debt returned +5.15%, Asian +6.14%, and central and eastern European +7.91%.5

Fund Expenses
As an investor in a variable insurance contract (Contract) that indirectly provides for investment in an underlying mutual fund, you can incur transaction and/or ongoing expenses at both the Fund level and the Contract level.
• | | Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, redemption fees, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes. |
• | | Ongoing expenses can include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, contract fees, annual maintenance fees, mortality and expense risk fees and other fees and expenses. All mutual funds and Contracts have some types of ongoing expenses. |
The expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing expenses at the Fund level only and do not include ongoing expenses at the Contract level, or transaction expenses at either the Fund or Contract level. While the Fund does not have transaction expenses, if the transaction and ongoing expenses at the Contract level were included, the expenses shown would be higher. You should consult your Contract prospectus or disclosure document for more information.
The table shows Fund-level ongoing expenses and can help you understand these expenses and compare them with those of other mutual funds offered through the Contract. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated. Please refer to the Fund prospectus for additional information on operating expenses.
Actual Fund Expenses
The first line (Actual) of the table provides actual account values and expenses. The “Ending Account Value” is derived from the Fund’s actual return, which includes the effect of ongoing Fund expenses, but does not include the effect of ongoing Contract expenses.
You can estimate the Fund-level expenses you incurred during the period by following these steps. Of course, your account value and expenses will differ from those in this illustration:
1. | Divide your account value by $1,000. |
If an account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6.
2. | Multiply the result by the number under the heading “Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period.” |
If Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period were $7.50, then 8.6 x $7.50 = $64.50.
In this illustration, the estimated expenses incurred this period at the Fund level are $64.50.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Mutual Funds
Information in the second line (Hypothetical) of the table can help you compare ongoing expenses of the Fund with those of other mutual funds offered through the Contract. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you incurred during the period. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” is based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund’s actual return. The figure under the heading “Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period” shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds offered through a Contract.

Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $ | 1,000 | | $ | 1,022.08 | | $ | 3.16 |
*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio, for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (0.62%), which does not include any ongoing expenses of the Contract for which the Fund is an investment option, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust
Notes to Financial Statements
Templeton Global Income Securities Fund
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (1940 Act) as an open-end investment company, consisting of twenty-three separate funds. The Templeton Global Income Securities Fund (Fund) included in this report is non-diversified. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.
The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.
a. Security Valuation
Securities listed on a securities exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official closing price of the day, respectively. Over-the-counter securities and listed securities for which there is no reported sale are valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Securities that trade in multiple markets or on multiple exchanges are valued according to the broadest and most representative market.
Corporate debt securities and government securities generally trade in the over-the-counter market rather than on a securities exchange. The Trust may utilize independent pricing services, quotations from bond dealers, and information with respect to bond and note transactions, to assist in determining a current market value for each security. The Trust’s pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing which considers information with respect to comparable bond and note transactions, quotations from bond dealers, or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in such characteristics as rating, interest rate and maturity date, option adjusted spread models, prepayment projections, interest rate spreads and yield curves, to determine current value.
Foreign securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded, or the NYSE, whichever is earlier. If no sale is reported at that time, the foreign security will be valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the NYSE on the day that the value of the foreign security is determined.
The Trust has procedures to determine the fair value of individual securities and other assets for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. Methods for valuing these securities may include: fundamental analysis, matrix pricing, discounts from market prices of similar securities, or discounts applied due to the nature and duration of restrictions on the disposition of the securities. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such investments existed. Occasionally, events occur between the time at which trading in a security is completed and the close of the NYSE that might call into question the availability (including the reliability) of the value of a portfolio security held by the Fund. The investment manager monitors price movements following the close of trading in foreign stock markets through a series of country specific market proxies (such as baskets of American Depository Receipts, futures contracts and exchange traded funds). These price movements are measured against established trigger thresholds for each specific market proxy to assist in determining if an event has occurred. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services. All security valuation procedures are approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
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. 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. 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees.
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 on 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. Joint Repurchase Agreement
The Fund may enter into a joint repurchase agreement whereby its uninvested cash balance is deposited into a joint cash account with other funds managed by the investment manager or an affiliate of the investment manager and is used to invest in one or more repurchase agreements. The value and face amount of the joint repurchase agreement are allocated to the funds based on their pro-rata interest. A repurchase agreement is accounted for as a loan by the fund to the seller, collateralized by securities which are delivered to the fund’s custodian. The market value, including accrued interest, of the initial collateralization is required to be at least 102% of the dollar amount invested by the funds, with the value of the underlying securities marked to market daily to maintain coverage of at least 100%. The joint repurchase agreement held by the Fund at year end had been entered into on December 31, 2007. The joint repurchase agreement is valued at cost.
d. Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis
The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of holding the securities, it may sell the securities before the settlement date. Sufficient assets have been segregated for these securities.
e. Foreign Currency Contracts
When the Fund purchases or sells foreign securities it may enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of the transactions. A foreign exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at an agreed upon exchange rate at a future date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund may also enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. These contracts are valued daily by the Fund and the unrealized gains or losses on the contracts, as measured by the difference between the contractual forward foreign exchange rates and the forward rates at the reporting date, are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations.
The risks of these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the possible inability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

f. Income Taxes
No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because it is the Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains.
Foreign securities held by the Fund may be subject to foreign taxation on dividend and interest income received. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests.
g. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities are included in interest income. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined according to income tax regulations (tax basis). Distributable earnings determined on a tax basis may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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.
Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated among the funds based on the ratio of net assets of each fund to the combined net assets of the Trust. Fund specific expenses are charged directly to the fund that incurred the expense.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class. Differences in per share distributions, by class, are generally due to differences in class specific expenses.
Inflation-indexed bonds provide an inflation hedge through periodic increases in the security’s interest accruals and principal redemption value, by amounts corresponding to the current rate of inflation. Any such adjustments, including adjustments to principal redemption value, are recorded as interest income.
h. Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
i. Redemption Fees
Redemptions and exchanges of Class 3 shares held 60 days or less may be subject to the fund’s redemption fee, which is 1% of the amount redeemed. Such fees are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
j. Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified by the Trust against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Templeton Global Income Securities Fund
8. CREDIT RISK
The Fund has 13.98% of its portfolio invested in below investment grade and comparable quality unrated high yield securities, which tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. The risk of loss due to default by the issuer may be significantly greater for the holders of high yielding securities because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.
9. CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Investing in foreign securities may include certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities, such as fluctuating currency values 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.
10. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
As part of various investigations by a number of federal, state, and foreign regulators and governmental entities, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), relating to certain practices in the mutual fund industry, including late trading, market timing and marketing support payments to securities dealers who sell fund shares (“marketing support”), Franklin Resources, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), entered into settlements with certain of those regulators and governmental entities. Specifically, the Company entered into settlements with the SEC, among others, concerning market timing and marketing support.
On June 6, 2007, the SEC posted for public comment the proposed plan of distribution for the market timing settlement. Once the SEC approves the final plan of distribution, disbursements of settlement monies will be made promptly to individuals who were shareholders of the designated funds during the relevant period, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the settlement and plan.
In addition, the Company, as well as most of the mutual funds within Franklin Templeton Investments and certain current or former officers, Company directors, fund directors, and employees, have been named in private lawsuits (styled as shareholder class actions, or as derivative actions on behalf of either the named funds or Franklin Resources, Inc.). The lawsuits relate to the industry practices referenced above.
The Company and fund management believe that the claims made in each of the private lawsuits referenced above are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously. The Company cannot predict with certainty the eventual outcome of these lawsuits, nor whether they will have a material negative impact on the Company. If it is determined that the Company bears responsibility for any unlawful or inappropriate conduct that caused losses to the Fund, it is committed to making the Trust or its shareholders whole, as appropriate.
11. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Trust believes the adoption of SFAS 157 will have no material impact on its financial statements.

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Templeton Global Income Securities Fund (one of the funds constituting Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Tax Designation (unaudited)
Templeton Global Income Securities Fund
At December 31, 2007, more than 50% of the Fund’s total assets were invested in securities of foreign issuers. In most instances, foreign taxes were withheld from income paid to the Fund on these investments. The Fund elects to treat foreign taxes paid as allowed under Section 853 of the Internal Revenue Code. This election will allow shareholders of record as of the 2008 distribution date, to treat their proportionate share of foreign taxes paid by the Fund as having been paid directly by them. The shareholder shall consider these amounts as foreign taxes paid in the tax year in which they receive the Fund distribution.

Templeton Growth Securities Fund – Class 1
Performance reflects the Fund’s Class 1 operating expenses, but does not include any contract fees, expenses or sales charges. If they had been included, performance would be lower. These charges and deductions, particularly for variable life policies, can have a significant effect on contract values and insurance benefits. See the contract prospectus for a complete description of these expenses, including sales charges.
Performance data represent past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares.
Current performance may differ from figures shown.
TG-1
Fund Goal and Main Investments: Templeton Growth Securities Fund seeks long-term capital growth. The Fund normally invests primarily in equity securities of companies located anywhere in the world, including those in the U.S. and in emerging markets.
Performance Overview
You can find the Fund’s one-year total return in the Performance Summary. The Fund underperformed the +9.57% return of the MSCI World Index for the period under review.1
Economic and Market Overview
In spite of elevated energy prices and widespread fears of contagion from the deteriorating U.S. housing situation, the global economy remained resilient in 2007. Consumer and corporate demand strength, particularly in China and other developing economies, generally favorable employment and accommodative monetary policies continued to underpin the current expansionary period that began in 2002.
These factors also contributed to the strength of global equity markets during 2007. However, concerns about slower growth and declining asset quality surfaced in the first quarter. These were initially centered on the U.S. subprime mortgage market but spread in August to global capital markets. Difficulties in assessing risk and the value of collateral in the structured finance industry contributed to declining risk appetite among lenders and investors. The private equity industry, which relies on the availability of cheap credit, played a pivotal role in several large and high-profile acquisitions and helped boost merger and acquisition activity in the first half of the year. This was an important driver of equity performance, but as liquidity dried up in the second half of the year, significantly slower money flows from private equity weighed on market performance. However, global merger and acquisition activity still reached record levels. The staggering $4.5 trillion of deals announced in 2007 eclipsed the previous record from 2006 by 24%.2
To alleviate the credit crunch and restore investor confidence, the world’s major central banks infused capital into the system, and the U.S. Federal Reserve Board reduced its target interest rate by a full

Fund Risks: The Fund’s investments in stocks offer the potential for long-term gains but can be subject to short-term price fluctuations. Foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, involves additional risks, including currency fluctuations, economic instability, market volatility, and political and social instability. By having significant investments in one or more countries or in particular sectors from time to time, the Fund may be at greater risk of adverse developments in a country or sector than a fund that invests more broadly. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

percentage point. However, credit and equity markets continued to face headwinds as write-downs and losses from subprime mortgage financing affected many large financial institutions toward the end of the year, and equity prices remained volatile.
For the year, however, global and non-U.S. equity markets registered the fifth consecutive year of double-digit total returns, making this an exceptionally strong period for investors in global equities. Broad-based stock performance by European and Asian shares at least doubled that of U.S. stocks, while emerging market equity returns more than tripled those in developed markets. Led by the BRIC countries, Brazil, Russia, India and China, emerging market economies continued to grow at accelerated rates, supporting elevated prices for oil and other commodities. At the same time, investment inflows from developed economies continued to underpin equity prices in emerging markets. In addition, U.S. dollar weakness versus the currencies of many major trading partners enhanced equity returns for U.S.-based investors holding stocks denominated in these currencies.
Investment Strategy
Our investment philosophy is bottom-up, value-oriented and long-term. In choosing investments, we will focus on the market price of a company’s securities relative to our evaluation of the company’s potential long-term earnings, asset value and cash flow. Among factors we may consider are a company’s historical value measures, including price/earnings ratio, profit margins and liquidation value. We do in-depth research to construct a bargain list from which we buy.
Manager’s Discussion
Among the most significant contributors to the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI World Index for the year under review were German electronics and industrial engineering conglomerate Siemens, U.S. enterprise software giant Oracle and U.K. wireless phone services carrier Vodafone Group. However, the Fund also had some major detractors from relative performance during the period including U.S. medical device supplier Boston Scientific, U.S. wireless telecommunications service provider Sprint Nextel and U.K-based Royal Bank of Scotland Group.
From a sector perspective, the financials sector was the largest contributor to relative performance for the reporting period.3 Although stock

selection detracted, our underweighted position benefited the Fund’s performance overall. Within the sector, Hong Kong-based real estate development firm Cheung Kong (Holdings) and Italian bank Intesa Sanpaolo were among the best performers. Our overweighted allocation relative to the index in the telecommunication services sector also boosted Fund performance.4 Significant contributors within the sector were France Telecom and Singapore Telecommunications. Driven by stock selection, the industrials sector, which includes Siemens, also positively affected relative performance for the period.5
On the other hand, some sectors weighed on the Fund’s relative performance for the year. Our underweighted allocation and stock selection in the materials sector hampered Fund returns relative to the index.6 Within the sector, our holding in Finnish paper and forest products manufacturer UPM-Kymmene was a notable detractor. Our overweighted allocation in the consumer discretionary sector also impaired relative performance.7 Within the sector, U.S. companies Time Warner, Chico’s FAS and Comcast detracted from Fund returns. Additionally, overweighting and stock selection in the health care sector weighed on the Fund’s relative results.8 Most detractors within the sector were U.S. based and included pharmaceutical company Pfizer and biotechnology firm Amgen.
From a geographic perspective, our holdings in France, underweighting in Japan and position in Mexico (not part of the index) contributed the most to relative Fund performance. Conversely, stock selection in the U.S. and Finland, and underweighting in Canada detracted.
It is important to recognize the effect of currency movements on the Fund’s performance. In general, if the value of the U.S. dollar goes up

compared with a foreign currency, an investment traded in that foreign currency will go down in value because it will be worth fewer U.S. dollars. This can have a negative effect on Fund performance. Conversely, when the U.S. dollar weakens in relation to a foreign currency, an investment traded in that foreign currency will increase in value, which can contribute to Fund performance. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, the U.S. dollar fell in value relative to most non-U.S. currencies. As a result, the Fund’s performance was positively affected by the Fund’s substantial investment in securities with non-U.S. currency exposure. However, one cannot expect the same result in future periods.

Fund Expenses
As an investor in a variable insurance contract (Contract) that indirectly provides for investment in an underlying mutual fund, you can incur transaction and/or ongoing expenses at both the Fund level and the Contract level.
• | | Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, redemption fees, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes. |
• | | Ongoing expenses can include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, contract fees, annual maintenance fees, mortality and expense risk fees and other fees and expenses. All mutual funds and Contracts have some types of ongoing expenses. |
The expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing expenses at the Fund level only and do not include ongoing expenses at the Contract level, or transaction expenses at either the Fund or Contract level. While the Fund does not have transaction expenses, if the transaction and ongoing expenses at the Contract level were included, the expenses shown below would be higher. You should consult your Contract prospectus or disclosure document for more information.
The table shows Fund-level ongoing expenses and can help you understand these expenses and compare them with those of other mutual funds offered through the Contract. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated. Please refer to the Fund prospectus for additional information on operating expenses.
Actual Fund Expenses
The first line (Actual) of the table provides actual account values and expenses. The “Ending Account Value” is derived from the Fund’s actual return, which includes the effect of ongoing Fund expenses, but does not include the effect of ongoing Contract expenses.
You can estimate the Fund-level expenses you incurred during the period by following these steps. Of course, your account value and expenses will differ from those in this illustration:
1. | Divide your account value by $1,000. |
If an account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6.
2. | Multiply the result by the number under the heading “Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period.” |
If Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period were $7.50, then 8.6 x $7.50 = $64.50.
In this illustration, the estimated expenses incurred this period at the Fund level are $64.50.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Mutual Funds
Information in the second line (Hypothetical) of the table can help you compare ongoing expenses of the Fund with those of other mutual funds offered through the Contract. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you incurred during the period. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” is based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund’s actual return. The figure under the heading “Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period” shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds offered through a Contract.

Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $ | 1,000 | | $ | 1,021.37 | | $ | 3.87 |
*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (0.76%), which does not include any ongoing expenses of the Contract for which the Fund is an investment option, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

Notes to Financial Statements
Templeton Growth Securities Fund
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (1940 Act) as an open-end investment company, consisting of twenty-three separate funds. The Templeton Growth Securities Fund (Fund) included in this report is diversified. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts. As of December 31, 2007, 50.96% of the Fund’s shares were held through one insurance company. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Class 1 and Class 2. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.
The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.
a. Security Valuation
Securities listed on a securities exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official closing price of the day, respectively. Over-the-counter securities and listed securities for which there is no reported sale are valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Securities that trade in multiple markets or on multiple exchanges are valued according to the broadest and most representative market.
Government securities generally trade in the over-the-counter market rather than on a securities exchange. The Trust may utilize independent pricing services, quotations from bond dealers, and information with respect to bond and note transactions, to assist in determining a current market value for each security. The Trust’s pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing which considers information with respect to comparable bond and note transactions, quotations from bond dealers, or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in such characteristics as rating, interest rate and maturity date, option adjusted spread models, prepayment projections, interest rate spreads and yield curves, to determine current value.
Foreign securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded, or the NYSE, whichever is earlier. If no sale is reported at that time, the foreign security will be valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the NYSE on the day that the value of the foreign security is determined.
The Trust has procedures to determine the fair value of individual securities and other assets for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. Methods for valuing these securities may include: fundamental analysis, matrix pricing, discounts from market prices of similar securities, or discounts applied due to the nature and duration of restrictions on the disposition of the securities. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such investments existed. Occasionally, events occur between the time at which trading in a security is completed and the close of the NYSE that might call into question the availability (including the reliability) of the value of a portfolio security held by the Fund. The investment manager monitors price movements following the close of trading in foreign stock markets through a series of country specific market proxies (such as baskets of American Depository Receipts, futures contracts and exchange traded funds). These price movements are measured against established trigger thresholds for each specific market proxy to assist in determining if an event has occurred. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services. All security valuation procedures are approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
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. 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. 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees.

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. Foreign Currency Contracts
When the Fund purchases or sells foreign securities it may enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of the transactions. A foreign exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at an agreed upon exchange rate at a future date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations.
The risks of these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the possible inability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
d. Income Taxes
No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because it is the Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains.
Foreign securities held by the Fund may be subject to foreign taxation on dividend income received. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests.
e. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities are included in interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recognized as soon as the Fund is notified of the ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined according to income tax regulations (tax basis). Distributable earnings determined on a tax basis may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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.
Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated among the funds based on the ratio of net assets of each fund to the combined net assets of the Trust. Fund specific expenses are charged directly to the fund that incurred the expense.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class. Differences in per share distributions, by class, are generally due to differences in class specific expenses.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
f. Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
g. Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified by the Trust against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

c. Distribution Fees
The Fund’s Board of Trustees has adopted a distribution plan for Class 2 shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Fund’s compensation distribution plan, the Fund pays Distributors for costs incurred in connection with the servicing, sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares up to 0.35% per year of its average daily net assets.

4. EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT

5. INCOME TAXES
The Fund has reviewed the tax positions taken on federal income tax returns, for each of the three open tax years and as of December 31, 2007 and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.
For tax purposes, realized capital losses occurring subsequent to October 31, may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. At December 31, 2007, the Fund deferred realized capital losses of $1,891,663.

5. INCOME TAXES (continued)
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, was as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | 2007 | | 2006 |
Distributions paid from: | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 60,581,663 | | $ | 35,364,945 |

| | | | |
Distributable earnings | | $ | 244,923,571 | |
| | | | |
Net investment income differs for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to differing treatment of foreign currency transactions.
Net realized gains (losses) differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales and foreign currency transactions.
6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments (excluding short term securities) for the year ended December 31, 2007, aggregated $1,108,601,380 and $683,685,656, respectively.
7. CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Investing in foreign securities may include certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities, such as fluctuating currency values 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.
8. REDEMPTION IN-KIND
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Fund realized $68,398,083 of net gains resulting from a redemption in-kind in which a shareholder redeemed fund shares for securities held by the Fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the Fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.
9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS
As part of various investigations by a number of federal, state, and foreign regulators and governmental entities, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), relating to certain practices in the mutual fund industry, including late trading,
TG-22
Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS (continued)
market timing and marketing support payments to securities dealers who sell fund shares (“marketing support”), Franklin Resources, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), entered into settlements with certain of those regulators and governmental entities. Specifically, the Company entered into settlements with the SEC, among others, concerning market timing and marketing support.
On June 6, 2007, the SEC posted for public comment the proposed plan of distribution for the market timing settlement. Once the SEC approves the final plan of distribution, disbursements of settlement monies will be made promptly to individuals who were shareholders of the designated funds during the relevant period, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the settlement and plan.
In addition, the Company, as well as most of the mutual funds within Franklin Templeton Investments and certain current or former officers, Company directors, fund directors, and employees, have been named in private lawsuits (styled as shareholder class actions, or as derivative actions on behalf of either the named funds or Franklin Resources, Inc.). The lawsuits relate to the industry practices referenced above.
The Company and fund management believe that the claims made in each of the private lawsuits referenced above are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously. The Company cannot predict with certainty the eventual outcome of these lawsuits, nor whether they will have a material negative impact on the Company. If it is determined that the Company bears responsibility for any unlawful or inappropriate conduct that caused losses to the Fund, it is committed to making the Trust or its shareholders whole, as appropriate.
10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Trust believes the adoption of SFAS 157 will have no material impact on its financial statements.

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Tax Designation (unaudited)
Templeton Growth Securities Fund
Under Section 852(b)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code), the Fund designates the maximum amount allowable but no less than $186,296,390 as a long term capital gain dividend for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
Under Section 854(b)(2) of the Code, the Fund designates 29.51% of the ordinary income dividends as income qualifying for the dividends received deduction for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
At December 31, 2007, more than 50% of the Fund’s total assets were invested in securities of foreign issuers. In most instances, foreign taxes were withheld from income paid to the Fund on these investments. The Fund elects to treat foreign taxes paid as allowed under Section 853 of the Code. This election will allow shareholders of record as of the 2008 distribution date, to treat their proportionate share of foreign taxes paid by the Fund as having been paid directly by them. The shareholder shall consider these amounts as foreign taxes paid in the tax year in which they receive the Fund distribution.

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