Performance 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.

Franklin Founding Funds Allocation VIP Fund

(Formerly, Franklin Templeton VIP Founding Funds Allocation Fund)

We are pleased to bring you Franklin Founding Funds Allocation VIP Fund’s semiannual report for the period ended June 30, 2014.

Class 1 Performance Summary as of June 30, 2014

Franklin Founding Funds Allocation VIP Fund – Class 1 delivered a +7.61% total return* for the

six-month period ended June 30, 2014.

*The Fund has an expense reduction contractually guaranteed through at least 4/30/15 and a fee waiver associated with its investments in a Franklin Templeton money fund, guaranteed through at least its current fiscal year-end. Fund investment results reflect the expense reduction and fee waiver, to the extent applicable; without these reductions, the results would have been lower.

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.

FRANKLIN FOUNDING FUNDS ALLOCATION VIP FUND

Fund Goals and Main Investments: Franklin Founding Funds Allocation VIP Fund seeks capital appreciation, with income as a secondary goal. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests equal portions in Class 1 shares of Franklin Income VIP Fund, Franklin Mutual Shares VIP Fund and Templeton Growth VIP Fund.

Fund Risks: All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Because the Fund invests in underlying funds that may engage in a variety of investment strategies involving certain risks, the Fund may be subject to these same risks. Stock prices fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and dramatically, due to factors affecting individual companies, particular industries or sectors, or general market conditions. Bonds are affected by changes in interest rates and the creditworthiness of their issuers. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as prices of bonds adjust to a rise in interest rates, the Fund’s share price may decline. Higher yielding, lower rated corporate bonds entail a greater degree of credit risk compared to investment-grade securities. Foreign investing carries additional risks such as currency and market volatility and political or social instability, risks that are heightened in developing countries. Value securities may not increase in price as anticipated or may decline further in value. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Performance Overview

You can find the Fund’s six-month total return in the Performance Summary. In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s^® 500 Index (S&P 500^®) generated a +7.14% total return and the MSCI World Index produced a +6.52% total return for the same period.¹

Economic and Market Overview

The U.S. economy showed some signs of recovery during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, despite a first-quarter contraction in gross domestic product. Manufacturing activity expanded, and the unemployment rate declined to 6.1% in June 2014 from 6.7% in December 2013.² Except for a sharp increase in March, retail sales rose at a modest pace that missed consensus expectations. The housing market had some weather-related weakness early in 2014, but home sales picked up in the spring and home prices were higher than a year ago.

LOGO

*The asset allocation is based on the Statement of Investments (SOI), which classifies each underlying fund into a broad asset class.

The dollar value, number of shares or principal amount, and names of all portfolio holdings are listed in the Fund’s SOI.

The Federal Reserve Board (Fed) began reducing bond purchases by $10 billion a month in January 2014, based on earlier largely positive economic and employment data. Although economic data in early 2014 were soft, Fed Chair Janet Yellen kept the pace of asset-purchase tapering intact while adopting a more qualitative approach to rate-hike guidance. However, the Fed pledged to keep interest rates low for a considerable time after the asset-purchase program ends, depending on inflation and employment trends. In June, the Fed lowered projections for near- and long-term economic growth even as it maintained the pace of tapering.

The global economy grew moderately during the six months under review as many developed markets continued to recover and many emerging markets recorded continued growth. Major developed market central banks reaffirmed their accommodative monetary policies in an effort to support the ongoing recovery. In emerging markets, some central banks cut interest rates to boost economic growth, while others raised rates to control inflation and currency depreciation.

and reiterated that the economy continued to recover moderately, despite challenges resulting from the sales tax increase. Japan’s growth weakened, however, in the second quarter. Although out of recession, the eurozone experienced deflationary risks and weak employment trends. The region’s first-quarter economic growth was softer than many observers had expected. In the second quarter, concerns arose about the potential negative impacts to growth from the crisis in Ukraine and tension in the Middle East. Toward period-end, the European Central Bank reduced its main interest rate and, for the first time, set a negative deposit rate.

Stocks in developed markets advanced overall during the period amid a generally accommodative monetary policy environment, continued strength in corporate earnings and signs of an economic recovery. Global government and corporate bonds delivered solid performance as interest rates in many developed market countries remained low. Gold prices rose during the period, and oil prices increased amid supply concerns related to geopolitical tensions. The U.S. dollar was relatively flat compared to most currencies.

Investment Strategy

The Fund normally invests its assets in an equally weighted combination of Class 1 shares of Franklin Income VIP Fund, Franklin Mutual Shares VIP Fund and Templeton Growth VIP Fund. These underlying funds, in turn, invest in a variety of U.S. and foreign equity securities and, to a lesser extent, fixed income and money market securities. As market conditions affect the underlying funds, we rebalance the Fund’s allocations seeking to maintain equal weightings of approximately 33¹⁄₃% of total net

assets in each underlying fund whenever the actual allocations exceed plus or minus 3% of the fixed allocation percentages.

Manager’s Discussion

The Fund’s performance can be attributed largely to its allocation among the underlying funds and their investments in domestic and foreign equities, fixed income securities, and short-term investments and other net assets.

During the six months under review, Franklin Income VIP Fund – Class 1 and Franklin Mutual Shares VIP Fund – Class 1 outperformed the S&P 500, while Templeton Growth VIP Fund – Class 1 underperformed the MSCI World Index.

Thank you for your participation in Franklin Founding Funds Allocation VIP Fund. We look forward to serving your future investment needs.

FRANKLIN FOUNDING FUNDS ALLOCATION VIP FUND

Class 1 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, 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 levels. 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:

Divide your account value by $1,000.

If an account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6.

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 × $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 1/1/14		Ending Account Value 6/30/14		Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period* 1/1/14–6/30/14		Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period 1/1/14–6/30/14**
Actual		$1,000		$1,076.10		$0.51		$3.86
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		$1,000		$1,024.30		$0.50		$3.76

*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio excluding expenses of the underlying funds, net of expense waivers, for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (0.10%), 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 181/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

**Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio including expenses of the underlying funds, net of expense waivers, for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (0.75%), 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 181/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Franklin Founding Funds Allocation VIP 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 management investment company, consisting of twenty separate funds and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Franklin Founding Funds Allocation VIP Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. The Fund invests primarily in other funds of the Trust (Underlying Funds). Shares of the Fund are generally 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 4. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.

The accounting policies of the Underlying Funds are outlined in their respective shareholder reports. A copy of the Underlying Funds’ shareholder reports is available on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website at sec.gov or at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. The Underlying Funds’ shareholder reports are not covered by this report.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Franklin Templeton VIP Founding Funds Allocation Fund was renamed the Franklin Founding Funds Allocation VIP Fund.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

The Fund’s investments in financial instruments are carried at fair value daily. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Fund calculates the net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), generally at 4 p.m. Eastern time (NYSE close) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. Under compliance policies and procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund’s administrator has responsibility for oversight of valuation, including leading the cross-functional Valuation and Liquidity Oversight Committee (VLOC). The VLOC provides administration and oversight of the Fund’s valuation policies

and procedures, which are approved annually by the Board. Among other things, these procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value. Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at their closing net asset value each trading day.

b. Income Taxes

It is the Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund intends to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains to relieve it from federal income and if applicable, excise taxes. As a result, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the tax position. As of June 30, 2014, and for all open tax years, the Fund has determined that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits is required in the Fund’s financial statements related to uncertain tax positions taken on a tax return (or expected to be taken on future tax returns). Open tax years are those that remain subject to examination and are based on each tax jurisdiction statute of limitation.

c. 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. Estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and realized gain distributions by Underlying Funds are recorded on 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


FFA-12		Semiannual Report

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Franklin Founding Funds Allocation VIP Fund (continued)

combined net assets of the Trust. Fund specific expenses are charged directly to the fund that incurred the expense.

The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of expenses from the Underlying Funds. Since the Underlying Funds have varied expense levels and the Fund may own different proportions of the Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, not including 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.

d. Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions

that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

e. 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

At June 30, 2014, there were an unlimited number of shares authorized (without par value). Transactions in the Fund’s shares were as follows:

e. Waiver and Expense Reimbursements

FT Services contractually agreed in advance to waive or limit its fees and to assume as its own expense certain expenses otherwise payable by the Fund so that the expenses (excluding distribution fees, and acquired fund fees and expenses) for each class of the Fund do not exceed 0.10% based on the average net assets of each class (other than certain non-routine expenses or costs, including those relating to litigation, indemnification, reorganizations, and liquidations) until April 30, 2015.

4. Expense Offset Arrangement

The Fund has entered into an arrangement with its custodian whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce a portion of the Fund’s custodian expenses. During the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no credits earned.

5. Income Taxes

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investments and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for income tax purposes were as follows:


Cost of investments		$981,768,613


Unrealized appreciation		$362,695,618

Unrealized depreciation		—

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)		$362,695,618

Differences between income and/or capital gains as determined on a book basis and a tax basis are primarily due to differing treatment of wash sales.

6. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of Underlying Funds (excluding short term securities) for the period ended June 30, 2014, aggregated $71,723,207 and $10,620,662, respectively.

7. Credit Facility

The Fund, together with other U.S. registered and foreign investment funds (collectively, Borrowers), managed by Franklin Templeton Investments, are borrowers in a joint syndicated senior unsecured credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (Global Credit Facility) which matures on February 13, 2015. This Global Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the ability to meet future unanticipated or unusually large redemption requests.

Under the terms of the Global Credit Facility, the Fund shall, in addition to interest charged on any borrowings made by the Fund and other costs incurred by the Fund, pay its share of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the implementation and maintenance of the Global Credit Facility, based upon its relative share of the aggregate net assets of all of the Borrowers, including an annual commitment fee of 0.07% based upon the unused portion of the Global Credit Facility. These fees are reflected in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund did not use the Global Credit Facility.

8. Fair Value Measurements

The Fund follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Fund’s own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s financial instruments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:

•

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments

•

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc.)

•

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of financial instruments)

The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level.

For movements between the levels within the fair value hierarchy, the Fund has adopted a policy of recognizing the transfers as of the date of the underlying event which caused the movement.

At June 30, 2014, all of the Fund’s investments in financial instruments carried at fair value were valued using Level 1 inputs. For detailed categories, see the accompanying Statement of Investments.

9. Subsequent Events

The Fund has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the financial statements and determined that no events have occurred that require disclosure.

TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

Franklin Founding Funds Allocation VIP Fund

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund, a qualified fund of funds under Section 852(g)(2) of Internal Revenue Code (Code), received an allocation of foreign taxes paid from one or more of its underlying funds. As shown in the table below, the Fund hereby reports to shareholders the foreign source income and foreign taxes paid by underlying funds, pursuant to Section 853 of the Code. This written statement will allow shareholders of record on June 12, 2014, to treat their proportionate share of foreign taxes paid by the underlying funds 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 following table provides a detailed analysis of foreign tax paid, and foreign source income as reported by the Fund, to Class 1, Class 2, and Class 4 shareholders of record.


Class	Foreign Tax Paid Per Share	Foreign Source Income Per Share
Class 1	$0.0057	$0.0504
Class 2	$0.0057	$0.0504
Class 4	$0.0057	$0.0504

Foreign Tax Paid Per Share (Column 1) is the amount per share available to you, as a tax credit (assuming you held your shares in the Fund for a minimum of 16 days during the 31-day period beginning 15 days before the ex-dividend date of the Fund’s distribution to which the foreign taxes relate), or, as a tax deduction.

Foreign Source Income Per Share (Column 2) is the amount per share of income dividends attributable to foreign securities held by the Fund, plus any foreign taxes withheld on these dividends.

(Formerly, Franklin Global Real Estate Securities Fund)

This semiannual report for Franklin Global Real Estate VIP Fund covers the period ended June 30, 2014.

Class 1 Performance Summary as of June 30, 2014

Franklin Global Real Estate VIP Fund – Class 1 delivered a total return of +11.46% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.


		Semiannual Report			FGR-1

FRANKLIN GLOBAL REAL ESTATE VIP FUND

Fund Goal and Main Investments: Franklin Global Real Estate VIP Fund seeks high total return. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in investments of companies located anywhere in the world that operate in the real estate sector.

Fund Risks: All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. The Fund concentrates in real estate securities, which involve special risks, such as declines in the value of real estate and increased susceptibility to adverse economic or regulatory developments affecting the sector. The Fund’s investments in REITs involve additional risks; since REITs typically are invested in a limited number of projects or in a particular market segment, they are more susceptible to adverse developments affecting a single project or market segment than more broadly diversified investments. Foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, involves additional risks such as currency and market volatility, as well as political and social instability. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

What is a REIT?

A REIT is a type of real estate company that is dedicated to owning and usually operating income-producing real estate properties such as apartments, hotels, industrial properties, office buildings or shopping centers. Equity REITs generally receive income from rents received, are generally operated by experienced property management teams and typically concentrate on a specific geographic region or property type.

Performance Overview

You can find the Fund’s six-month total return in the Performance Summary. In comparison, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index posted a +12.21% total return for the same period.¹

Economic and Market Overview

increase in March, retail sales rose at a modest pace that missed consensus expectations. The housing market had some weather-related weakness early in 2014, but home sales picked up in the spring and home prices were higher than a year ago.

The U.K. economy grew relatively well in the first half of 2014, supported by the services and manufacturing sectors. In the second quarter, a preliminary estimate registered expansion at precrisis levels. The Japanese economy grew strongly during the first quarter of 2014 as consumption rose ahead of a sales tax increase in April. The Bank of Japan kept its monetary policy unchanged as it maintained an upbeat inflation forecast and reiterated that the economy continued to recover moderately, despite challenges resulting from the sales tax increase. Japan’s growth weakened, however, in the second quarter. Although out of recession, the eurozone experienced deflationary risks and weak employment trends. The region’s first-quarter economic growth was softer than many observers had expected. In the second quarter, concerns arose about the potential negative impacts to growth from the crisis in Ukraine and tension in the Middle East. Toward period-end the European Central Bank reduced its main interest rate and, for the first time, set a negative deposit rate.

FRANKLIN GLOBAL REAL ESTATE VIP FUND

Global Real Estate Market Overview

Overall, global real estate markets rose during the six months under review. According to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index, in U.S. dollar terms, Italy, Greece and Spain led global real estate markets. France, Australia and the Netherlands also posted robust results. In contrast, some markets represented in the index lost value, including China and Japan.

Investment Strategy

We seek to limit price volatility by investing across markets and property types and seek to provide a consistently high level of income in our pursuit of high total return. When selecting investments for the Fund’s portfolio, we apply a “bottom-up” stock selection process that incorporates macro-level views in the evaluation process. Our portfolio construction process combines bottom-up analysis of individual stock and real estate market fundamentals and top-down macro overlays to provide country/regional, property type, and company size perspectives in identifying international/local cyclical and thematic trends that highlight investment opportunities.

Manager’s Discussion

During the six months under review, key contributors to the Fund’s performance relative to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index included stock selection in the residential sector. Shares of U.S.-based apartment management company Essex Property Trust benefited from very strong fundamentals in west coast apartment markets, particularly the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle. Revenue for the first quarter of 2014 compared with the year-ago period was well above guidance and expectations and was the highest in its peer group. In addition, Essex closed its acquisition of BRE Properties (also a Fund holding) in April, with the communication around integration and synergies better than expected, in our view.

Security selection in the office space sector, with holdings such as mid-capitalization office REIT Kilroy Realty, also enhanced relative performance over the period. In our view, Kilroy is a dominant office landlord in the U.S. west coast with a portfolio concentrated in San Diego, West Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. The stock’s robust performance during the reporting period largely reflected strong office fundamentals across its west coast markets. The company has grown rapidly as it successfully expanded to San Francisco and Seattle where

tenant demand remained quite strong. Kilroy also has a sizable development pipeline which, in our view, should continue to support future earnings growth when these developments come on line.

Other contributors included Japanese industrial property manager Nippon Prologis REIT, shares of which performed well over the past six months. The REIT was listed in February 2013 and has doubled its asset size after the first year of listing. We believe that with pipeline support from sponsor Prologis, also a Fund holding, the company is in a good position to make accretive acquisitions and keep growth momentum intact. It recently had the best quality logistics facilities among Japanese REITs, in our opinion, and rents were expected to rise due to strong demand from e-commerce and third-party logistics operators.

In contrast, key detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included stock selection in the diversified sector with holdings such as Mitsubishi Estate and The Wharf Holdings. Japan-based Mitsubishi Estate lost value during the first half of 2014. Despite improved market conditions, profit growth from its office portfolio was less than expected due to longer lease terms and a lack of new projects. Investors were disappointed by further delays in earnings growth after the company announced subdued guidance. The company expected lower profits from the condominium segment owing to rising construction costs and land prices.

The Wharf Holdings is a leading retail landlord in Hong Kong with residential development projects and an investment portfolio in China. The stock struggled during the past six months given the slowdown of Hong Kong retail sales growth, which was affected by moderating economic growth in China and less spending in high-end segments. The stock was also negatively impacted by market concerns over the Chinese government’s potential to curb mainland Chinese visitor arrivals.

Stock selection in the hotels, resorts and cruise lines sector also weighed on relative performance with an off-benchmark investment in Starwood Hotel & Resorts Worldwide proving especially detrimental. Starwood performed poorly during the reporting period following strong outperformance last year. Starwood had significant global exposure compared to other hotel companies, and thus the stock became increasingly more volatile over the past six months, largely reflecting increased economic and geopolitical risks, especially in emerging

Actual Fund 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 × $7.50 = $64.50.

In this illustration, the estimated expenses incurred this period at the Fund level are $64.50.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Franklin Global Real Estate VIP 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 management investment company, consisting of twenty separate funds and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Franklin Global Real Estate VIP Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are generally sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts. At June 30, 2014, 58.07% of the Fund’s shares were held through one insurance company. Investment activities of these insurance company separate accounts could have a material impact on the Fund. 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.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Franklin Global Real Estate Securities Fund was renamed the Franklin Global Real Estate VIP Fund.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

Equity securities listed on an 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. Foreign equity securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded or as of the NYSE close, whichever is earlier. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the NYSE close on the day that the value of the security is determined. Over-the-counter (OTC) securities 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. Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships to similar securities. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

The Fund has procedures to determine the fair value of financial instruments for which market prices are not reliable or readily available. Under these procedures, the VLOC convenes on a regular basis to review such financial instruments and considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs, when arriving at fair value. The VLOC primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may also be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The VLOC employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis, and reviews of any related market activity.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Franklin Global Real Estate VIP Fund (continued)

the Fund’s portfolio securities as determined at the foreign market close and the latest indications of value at the close of the NYSE. In order to minimize the potential for these differences, the VLOC 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 Depositary 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 that may call into question the reliability of the values of the foreign securities held by the Fund. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services.

Also, when the last day of the reporting period is a non-business day, certain foreign markets may be open on those days that the NYSE is closed, which could result in differences between the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities on the last business day and the last calendar day of the reporting period. Any significant security valuation changes due to an open foreign market are adjusted and reflected by the Fund for financial reporting purposes.

b. Foreign Currency Translation

Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Portfolio securities and assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies contain risks that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Occasionally, events may impact the availability or reliability of foreign exchange rates used to convert the U.S. dollar equivalent value. If such an event occurs, the foreign exchange rate will be valued at fair value using procedures established and approved by the Board.

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 enters 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 fair 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%. Repurchase agreements are subject to the terms of Master Repurchase Agreements (MRAs) with approved counterparties (sellers). The MRAs contain various provisions, including but not limited to events of default and maintenance of collateral for repurchase agreements. In the event of default by either the seller or the Fund, certain MRAs may permit the non-defaulting party to net and close-out all transactions, if any, traded under such agreements. The Fund may sell securities it holds as collateral and apply the proceeds towards the repurchase price and any other amounts owed by the seller to the Fund in the event of default by the seller. This could involve costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value falls below the repurchase price owed by the seller. The joint repurchase agreement held by the Fund at period end, as indicated in the Statement of Investments, had been entered into on June 30, 2014.

d. Income and Deferred Taxes

The Fund may be subject to foreign taxation related to income received, capital gains on the sale of securities and certain foreign currency transactions in the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. When a capital gain tax is determined to apply the Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

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.

Distributions received by the Fund from certain securities may be a return of capital (ROC). Such distributions reduce the cost basis of the securities, and any distributions in excess of the cost basis are recognized as capital gains.

f. Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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. Credit Facility

9. Fair Value Measurements

•

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments

•

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc.)

•

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of financial instruments)

The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level.

For movements between the levels within the fair value hierarchy, the Fund has adopted a policy of recognizing the transfers as of the date of the underlying event which caused the movement.

A summary of inputs used as of June 30, 2014, in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value, is as follows:


	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Assets:

Investments in Securities:

Equity Investments^a	$	375,640,403	$	—	$	—	$	375,640,403

10. New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860), Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The ASU changes the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements related to repurchase agreements, securities lending, repurchase-to-maturity and similar transactions. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.

11. Subsequent Events

The Fund has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the financial statements and determined that no events have occurred that require disclosure.

FRANKLIN GROWTH AND INCOME VIP FUND

Fund Goals and Main Investments: Franklin Growth and Income VIP Fund seeks capital appreciation with current income as a secondary goal. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests predominantly in equity securities, including securities convertible into common stock.

Fund Risks: All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Stock prices fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and dramatically, due to factors affecting individual companies, particular industries or sectors, or general market conditions. Convertible securities are subject to the risks of stocks when the underlying stock price is high relative to the conversion price and debt securities when the underlying stock price is low relative to the conversion price. The Fund’s investment in foreign securities also involves special risks, including currency fluctuations and economic as well as political uncertainty. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Performance Overview

You can find the Fund’s six-month total return in the Performance Summary. In comparison, the Fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s^® 500 Index (S&P 500^®), produced a +7.14% total return.¹ The Fund’s peers as measured by the Lipper VIP Equity Income Funds Classification Average, posted a +6.87% return for the same period.²

Economic and Market Overview

The U.S. economy showed some signs of recovery during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, despite a first-quarter contraction in gross domestic product. Manufacturing activity expanded, and the unemployment rate declined to 6.1% in June 2014 from 6.7% in December 2013.³ Except for a sharp increase in March, retail sales rose at a modest pace that missed consensus expectations. The housing market had some weather-related weakness early in 2014, but home sales picked up in the spring and home prices were higher than a year ago.

The Federal Reserve Board (Fed) began reducing bond purchases by $10 billion a month in January 2014, based on earlier largely positive economic and employment data. Although

LOGO

economic data in early 2014 were soft, Fed Chair Janet Yellen kept the pace of asset-purchase tapering intact while adopting a more qualitative approach to rate-hike guidance. However, the Fed pledged to keep interest rates low for a considerable time after the asset-purchase program ends, depending on inflation and employment trends. In June, the Fed lowered projections for near- and long-term economic growth even as it maintained the pace of tapering.

China’s slowing economy. U.S. stocks continued to gain for the six months under review as the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average reached all-time highs.⁴

Investment Strategy

We seek to invest in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity securities that we consider to be financially strong, with a focus on “blue chip” companies. We apply a bottom-up approach to investing in individual securities. We will assess the market price of a company’s securities relative to our evaluation of the company’s long-term earnings, asset value and cash flow potential. We also consider a company’s price/earnings ratio, profit margins, balance sheet and liquidation value. We consider dividend yield in selecting stocks for the Fund because we believe that, over time, dividend income can contribute significantly to total return and can be a more consistent source of investment return than capital appreciation. We seek to take advantage of price dislocations that result from the market’s short-term focus and choose to invest in those companies that, in our opinion, offer the best trade-off between growth opportunity, business and financial risk, and valuation.

Manager’s Discussion

During the six months under review, most of the sectors the Fund invested in rose in value, as did most of the portfolio’s individual securities, supporting overall performance. Key contributing sectors included utilities, information technology (IT) and health care. The telecommunication services sector was the sole detractor.

Among utilities, top contributors included natural gas and electric utilities company PG&E’s stock and clean energy company NextEra Energy’s convertible preferred stock. PG&E’s share price rose after the company reported better-than-expected first-quarter 2014 revenue. The stock also benefited from the market’s positive outlook on the company’s portfolio of regulated utility assets and pipeline of electricity transmission and distribution projects. Leading IT performers included semiconductor products manufacturers Maxim Integrated Products and Intel. Maxim reported quarterly earnings that beat expectations, driven by growth in the automotive, industrial and communication businesses. In health care, pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly & Co. and medical devices, pharmaceutical and consumer packaged goods company Johnson & Johnson

were among the top performers. Shares of Eli Lilly gained after the company reported positive phase III trial results for two cancer drugs. The company agreed to acquire the animal health division of Novartis to strengthen its global animal health division.

In contrast, our investments in the telecommunication services sector hindered the Fund’s results. U.K.-based telecommunication services provider Vodafone Group’s share price fell after the company’s fiscal year 2014 revenue declined because of stiff competition and regulatory headwinds in Europe. The company also provided sluggish revenue guidance for fiscal year 2015. Other key individual detractors included software solutions company CA, discount retailer Target, payroll processor Paychex and insurer Aflac. CA detracted from relative returns after it reported lower revenues in the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter. A credit card data breach announced in December 2013 and problems with a Canadian expansion continued to weigh on Target’s stock, although fourth-quarter 2013 earnings still beat estimates. The stock was also affected by concerns over management changes.

Class 1 Fund Expenses

•

Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes.

•

Actual Fund 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 × $7.50 = $64.50.

In this illustration, the estimated expenses incurred this period at the Fund level are $64.50.

Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		$1,000		$1,021.92		$2.91

*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (0.58%), 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 181/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Franklin Growth and Income VIP 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 management investment company, consisting of twenty separate funds and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Franklin Growth and Income VIP Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are generally sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts. At June 30, 2014, 79.43% of the Fund’s shares were held through one insurance company. Investment activities of these insurance company separate accounts could have a material impact on the Fund. 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.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Franklin Growth and Income Securities Fund was renamed the Franklin Growth and Income VIP Fund.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

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.

(Formerly, Franklin High Income Securities Fund)

This semiannual report for Franklin High Income VIP Fund covers the period ended June 30, 2014.

Class 1 Performance Summary as of June 30, 2014

Franklin High Income VIP Fund – Class 1 delivered a +5.66% total return for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.


		Semiannual Report			FH-1

FRANKLIN HIGH INCOME VIP FUND

Fund Goals and Main Investments: Franklin High Income VIP Fund seeks a high level of current income with capital appreciation as a secondary goal. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests predominantly in high yield, lower rated debt securities and preferred stocks.

Fund Risks: All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. The risks associated with higher yielding, lower rated securities include higher risk of default and loss of principal. Changes in the financial strength of a bond issuer or in a bond’s credit rating may affect its value. In addition, interest rate movements will affect the Fund’s share price and yield. 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. Investment in foreign securities also involves special risks, including currency fluctuations, and political and economic uncertainty. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Performance Overview

You can find the Fund’s six-month total return in the Performance Summary. In comparison, the Fund’s benchmark, the Credit Suisse (CS) High Yield Index, posted a +5.55% total return for the period under review.¹ The Fund’s peers, as measured by the Lipper VIP High Yield Funds Classification Average, delivered a +4.72% total return.²

Economic and Market Overview

The U.S. economy continued to show signs of recovery during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014. Economic activity increased toward period-end after severe weather conditions and a slowdown in health care spending led to a contraction in the first quarter of 2014. Manufacturing activity expanded during the period under review, despite a slowdown in January. Except for a sharp rebound in March, retail sales rose at a modest pace and missed consensus expectations. The housing market had some weather-related weakness early in 2014, but home sales picked up in the spring and home prices were higher than a year ago. The unemployment rate declined to 6.1% in June 2014

from 6.7% in December 2013.³ Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, picked up toward the end of the period.

The Federal Reserve Board (Fed) began reducing bond purchases by $10 billion a month in January 2014, based on earlier largely positive economic and employment data. Although economic data in early 2014 were soft, Fed Chair Janet Yellen kept the pace of asset-purchase tapering intact in the March meeting while adopting a more qualitative approach to rate-hike guidance. In June, the Fed lowered projections for near- and long-term economic growth even as it maintained the pace of tapering and remained committed to keeping interest rates low for a considerable amount of time after the asset-purchase program ends.

The 10-year Treasury yield declined from 3.04% at the beginning of the period to 2.53% on June 30, 2014, as investors shifted to less risky assets given subdued economic data, the crises in Ukraine and Iraq, growth concerns about emerging markets and lower Treasury issuance.

Investment Strategy

We are research-driven, fundamental investors who rely on a team of analysts to provide in-depth industry expertise and use qualitative and quantitative analyses to evaluate companies. As bottom-up investors, we focus primarily on individual securities. We also consider sectors when choosing investments. In selecting securities for the Fund’s investment portfolio, we do not rely principally on ratings assigned by rating agencies, but perform our own independent analysis to evaluate an issuer’s creditworthiness. We consider a variety of factors, including an issuer’s experience and managerial strength, its sensitivity to economic conditions and its current financial condition. We may also enter into various transactions involving certain currency-, interest rate- or credit-related derivative instruments for hedging purposes, to enhance returns or to obtain exposure to various market sectors.

Manager’s Discussion

Contrary to the 2013 predictions of many financial market experts, longer term interest rates in the U.S. declined in the first half of 2014. This move helped to boost corporate bond

prices, while underlying earnings fundamentals and a low default rate also remained supportive backdrops. As interest rates remained quite low on an absolute basis, investors continued their search for yield and demonstrated a healthy risk appetite, further supporting high yield bond prices in the secondary market. Correspondingly, the high yield corporate bond market generated a positive return for the first six months of the year. In contrast to 2013, however, there was little dispersion between returns by ratings quality classifications. Higher rated bonds within the high yield universe benefited from their somewhat higher sensitivity to the decline in interest rates, while lower rated bonds were buoyed by the continued search for income and yield. Despite occasional bursts of volatility during the period for the overall market, generally valuations continued to richen. With this in mind, we focused on security selection and slightly increased the Fund’s quality bias during the period. Overall, the Fund performed in line with the CS High Yield Index while outperforming its Lipper peer group.

At the same time, we drew upon our fundamental research process to make individual investments and help adjust the Fund’s industry positioning. Within that framework, we overweighted and underweighted certain industries relative to our benchmark in an effort to outperform. For example, our continued underweighting of the retailing sector proved beneficial. Sluggish consumer spending and confidence levels again weighed on operating results for certain retailers and pressured bond prices in the industry, leading the sector to underperform the benchmark.

In contrast, we maintained an overweighting in the energy sector, which outperformed during the period. With valuations attractive in the sector versus historical averages relative to the market, energy continued to seem to us a relative value opportunity. In addition, we felt the potential for favorable merger and acquisition activity, offering upside potential, combined with relatively solid downside asset protection supported our overweighted positioning. Lastly, we underweighted the fairly small automotive industry and were selective in our holdings given what we felt were that industry’s fairly rich valuations.⁴ The industry did ultimately underperform partly driven by the highly publicized recall issues for automaker General Motors.

LOGO

*Weightings may be negative or may not total 100% due to rounding, use of any derivatives, unsettled trades or other factors.

**Includes common, preferred and convertible preferred shares.

Although some of the Fund’s industry positioning enhanced relative performance versus its benchmark, certain other weightings had a negative impact. For example, the paper industry continued to face pricing pressures and a secular demand decline, which caused us to hold an underweighted position.⁵ However, some industry consolidation boosted certain bond prices and helped this relatively small industry to outperform the benchmark. Similarly, we underweighted the aerospace sector and this positioning also proved to be a relative performance detractor. A historically highly volatile subsector in aerospace, airlines recently enjoyed the benefits of enhanced capacity management after a wave of consolidation.⁶ This boosted bond prices and helped drive performance.

In contrast, we slightly overweighted the gaming industry.⁷ Given the industry is dependent on discretionary consumer spending, top-line revenue results were soft for many operators. In addition, new casinos continued to open and cause some gaming markets to show signs of being oversaturated. Lastly, bond prices of large capitalization issuer Caesar’s Entertainment fell as a balance sheet restructuring loomed. In addition to having a slightly overweighted gaming industry positioning, the Fund held Caesar’s senior secured bonds, which moved lower during the period and contributed to the sector’s underperformance.

To a small extent, the portfolio utilized derivatives, including currency forwards and credit derivatives through a high yield

Class 1 Fund Expenses

•

Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes.

•

Actual Fund 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 × $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


Class 1	Beginning Account Value 1/1/14		Ending Account Value 6/30/14		Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period* 1/1/14–6/30/14
Actual		$1,000		$1,056.60		$2.91
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		$1,000		$1,021.97		$2.86

*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (0.57%), 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 181/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

Franklin High Income VIP 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 management investment company, consisting of twenty separate funds and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Franklin High Income VIP Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are generally sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts. At June 30, 2014, 80.95% of the Fund’s shares were held through one insurance company. Investment activities of these insurance company separate accounts could have a material impact on the Fund. The Fund offers 3 classes of shares: Class 1, Class 2, and Class 4. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Franklin High Income Securities Fund was renamed the Franklin High Income VIP Fund.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

Debt securities generally trade in the OTC market rather than on a securities exchange. The Fund’s pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, estimated default rates, anticipated market interest rate volatility, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value. Securities denominated in a foreign currency are converted into their U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the NYSE close on the date that the values of the foreign debt securities are determined. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

Certain derivative financial instruments (derivatives) trade in the OTC market. The Fund’s pricing services use various techniques including industry standard option pricing models and proprietary discounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of those instruments. The Fund’s net benefit or obligation under the derivative contract, as measured by the fair value of the contract, is included in net assets.

The Fund has procedures to determine the fair value of financial instruments for which market prices are not reliable or readily available. Under these procedures, the VLOC convenes on a


FH-24		Semiannual Report

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Franklin High Income VIP Fund (continued)

regular basis to review such financial instruments and considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs, when arriving at fair value. The VLOC primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may also be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The VLOC employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis, and reviews of any related market activity.

Trading in securities on foreign securities stock exchanges and OTC markets may be completed before the daily NYSE close. In addition, trading in certain foreign markets may not take place on every NYSE business day. Occasionally, events occur between the time at which trading in a foreign security is completed and the close of the NYSE that might call into question the reliability of the value of a portfolio security held by the Fund. As a result, differences may arise between the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities as determined at the foreign market close and the latest indications of value at the close of the NYSE. In order to minimize the potential for these differences, the VLOC 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 Depositary 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 that may call into question the reliability of the values of the foreign securities held by the Fund. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services.

significant security valuation changes due to an open foreign market are adjusted and reflected by the Fund for financial reporting purposes.

c. Joint Repurchase Agreement (continued)

for as a loan by the Fund to the seller, collateralized by securities which are delivered to the Fund’s custodian. The fair 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%. Repurchase agreements are subject to the terms of Master Repurchase Agreements (MRAs) with approved counterparties (sellers). The MRAs contain various provisions, including but not limited to events of default and maintenance of collateral for repurchase agreements. In the event of default by either the seller or the Fund, certain MRAs may permit the non-defaulting party to net and close-out all transactions, if any, traded under such agreements. The Fund may sell securities it holds as collateral and apply the proceeds towards the repurchase price and any other amounts owed by the seller to the Fund in the event of default by the seller. This could involve costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value falls below the repurchase price owed by the seller. The joint repurchase agreement held by the Fund at period end, as indicated in the Statement of Investments, had been entered into on June 30, 2014.

d. Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis

The Fund purchases securities on a when-issued 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. Derivative Financial Instruments

secondary market, and/or the potential for market movements which expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain and loss and unrealized appreciation and depreciation on these contracts for the period are included in the Statement of Operations.

Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through a formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties. The Fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives, whenever possible, by entering into International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreements with certain counterparties. These agreements contain various provisions, including but not limited to collateral requirements, events of default, or early termination. Termination events applicable to the counterparty include certain deteriorations in the credit quality of the counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Fund include failure of the Fund to maintain certain net asset levels and/or limit the decline in net assets over various periods of time. In the event of default or early termination, the ISDA master agreement gives the non-defaulting party the right to net and close-out all transactions traded, whether or not arising under the ISDA agreement, to one net amount payable by one counterparty to the other. However, absent an event of default or early termination, OTC derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross and not offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Early termination by the counterparty may result in an immediate payment by the Fund of any net liability owed to that counterparty under the ISDA agreement. At June 30, 2014, the Fund had no OTC derivatives in a net liability position for such contracts.

Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For OTC derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, posting of collateral is required by either the fund or the applicable counterparty if the total net exposure of all OTC derivatives with the applicable counterparty exceeds the minimum transfer amount, which typically ranges from $100,000 to $250,000, and can vary depending on the counterparty and the type of the agreement. Generally, collateral is determined at the close of fund business each day and any additional collateral required due to changes in derivative values may be delivered by the fund or the counterparty within a few business days. Collateral pledged and/or received by the fund, if any, is held in segregated accounts with the fund’s custodian/counterparty broker and can be in the form

of cash and/or securities. Unrestricted cash may be invested according to the Fund’s investment objectives.

The Fund entered into OTC forward exchange contracts primarily to manage and/or gain exposure to certain foreign currencies. A forward exchange contract is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specific exchange rate on a future date.

See Note 8 regarding other derivative information.

f. Senior Floating Rate Interests

The Fund invests in senior secured corporate loans that pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. These base lending rates are generally the prime rate offered by a designated U.S. bank or the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR). Senior secured corporate loans often require prepayment of principal from excess cash flows or at the discretion of the borrower. As a result, actual maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity. Senior secured corporate loans in which the Fund invests are generally readily marketable, but may be subject to certain restrictions on resale.

g. Income and Deferred Taxes

It is the Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund intends to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes. As a result, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.

related to uncertain tax positions taken on a tax return (or expected to be taken on future tax returns). Open tax years are those that remain subject to examination and are based on each tax jurisdiction statute of limitation.

h. 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. Facility fees are recognized as income over the expected term of the loan. Dividend income 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.

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.

The Fund held defaulted securities and/or other securities for which the income has been deemed uncollectible. At June 30, 2014, the aggregate value of these securities was $3,492,536, representing 0.90% of the Fund’s net assets. The Fund discontinues accruing income on securities for which income has been deemed uncollectible and provides an estimate for losses on interest receivable. The securities have been identified on the accompanying Statement of Investments.

We are pleased to bring you Franklin Income VIP Fund’s semiannual report for the period ended June 30, 2014.

Class 1 Performance Summary as of June 30, 2014

Franklin Income VIP Fund – Class 1 delivered a +9.89% total return for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.


		Semiannual Report			FI-1

FRANKLIN INCOME VIP FUND

Fund Goal and Main Investments: Franklin Income VIP Fund seeks to maximize income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests in both equity and debt securities.

Fund Risks: All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. The Fund’s 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. Changes in the financial strength of a bond issuer or in a bond’s credit rating may affect its value. The Fund’s portfolio includes a substantial portion of higher yielding, lower rated corporate bonds because of the relatively higher yields they offer. Floating rate loans are lower rated, higher yielding instruments, which are subject to increased risk of default and can potentially result in loss of principal. These securities carry a greater degree of credit risk relative to investment-grade securities. Stock prices fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and dramatically, due to factors affecting individual companies, particular industries or sectors, or general market conditions. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Performance Overview

You can find the Fund’s six-month total return in the Performance Summary. For comparison, the Fund’s equity benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s^® 500 Index (S&P 500^®), produced a +7.14% total return, and its fixed income benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, posted a +3.93% total return for the same period.¹

Economic and Market Overview

weather-related weakness early in 2014, but home sales picked up in the spring and home prices were higher than a year ago.

Investors’ confidence grew as corporate profits rose and generally favorable economic data indicated continued recovery despite brief sell-offs when many investors reacted to the Fed’s statements, political instability in certain emerging markets and China’s slowing economy. U.S. stocks continued to gain for the six months under review as the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average reached all-time highs.³ The 10-year Treasury yield declined from 3.04% at the beginning of the period to 2.53% on June 30, 2014, as investors shifted to less risky assets given subdued economic data, the crises in Ukraine and Iraq, growth concerns about emerging markets and lower Treasury issuance.

Investment Strategy

We search for undervalued or out-of-favor securities we believe offer opportunities for income today and growth tomorrow. We generally perform independent analysis of the debt securities being considered for the Fund’s portfolio, rather than relying principally on ratings assigned by rating agencies. In analyzing debt and equity securities, we consider a variety of factors, including: a security’s relative value based on such factors as anticipated cash flow, interest or dividend coverage, asset coverage, and earnings prospects; the experience and strength of a company’s management; a company’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and business conditions; a company’s debt maturity schedules and borrowing requirements; and a company’s changing financial condition and market recognition of the change.

FRANKLIN INCOME VIP FUND

Manager’s Discussion

Although the Fund remained diversified during the six months under review, the portfolio’s asset mix remained heavily tilted toward equities including common stocks and convertible securities. We slightly increased the Fund’s overall equity weighting from 60.0% to 61.1% of total net assets, particularly with additions to the information technology and utilities sectors. In contrast, we decreased the Fund’s equity sector weightings in energy, industrials and consumer staples during the period. The Fund’s fixed income exposure decreased from 35.7% to 33.1% of total net assets. We focused on corporate bonds, primarily high yield bonds. We believed that investor concerns regarding the potential for higher long-term interest rates going forward, as well as narrowing credit spreads during the period warranted a selective approach to holding high yield bonds. The Fund’s cash position increased during the period from 4.3% to 5.8% of total net assets.

During the six months under review, the Fund’s equity and fixed income components contributed to absolute performance. Many of the Fund’s equity sectors aided results and outperformed the broader equity market, led by utilities, energy, information technology, health care and materials. Utilities including Dynegy and Exelon generally outperformed broader equity markets, supported by factors including investors’ continued attraction to yield-oriented investments, relatively stable interest rates and a decline in the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield. Prices for a wide variety of raw materials, including U.S. crude oil and precious metals, rose during the period, and these higher price levels supported results across the energy and materials sectors. In this environment, Royal Dutch Shell and Halliburton in energy and The Dow Chemical Co. and LyondellBasell Industries in materials boosted Fund results. In contrast, the Fund had a number of notable individual equity detractors during the period. General Electric in industrials suffered from weak U.S. economic growth in the beginning of 2014. In consumer discretionary, mass-market retailer Target suffered losses after experiencing a customer data breach and problems with a Canadian expansion, and General Motors’ shares were negatively affected by a massive faulty vehicle recall.

Most fixed income securities performed well during the period, driven by continued low interest rates and a favorable environment for credit fundamentals featuring robust new issuance levels that facilitated access to capital. These conditions enabled many companies to reduce debt, extend maturities and reduce overall debt financing costs, factors we felt could help default levels remain fairly low. Major fixed income contributors during the period included CC Media Holdings⁴ and Sprint in communications⁵ and First Data in technology.⁶ Notable individual detractors included Caesars Entertainment Operating Company in consumer cyclical,⁷ Genon Energy⁸ in electric utility⁹ and Walter Energy in basic industry.¹⁰

FRANKLIN INCOME VIP FUND

Class 1 Fund Expenses

•

Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes.

•

Actual Fund 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 × $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


Class 1	Beginning Account Value 1/1/14		Ending Account Value 6/30/14		Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period* 1/1/14–6/30/14
Actual		$1,000		$1,098.90		$2.45
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		$1,000		$1,022.46		$2.36

*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (0.47%), 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 181/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

Franklin Income VIP 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 management investment company, consisting of twenty separate funds and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Franklin Income VIP Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are generally 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 4. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Franklin Income Securities Fund was renamed the Franklin Income VIP Fund.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the NYSE close on the day that the value of the security is determined. Over-the-counter (OTC) securities 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. Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships to similar securities. Investments in non-registered money market funds are valued at the closing net asset value.

the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The VLOC employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis, and reviews of any related market activity.

b. Foreign Currency Translation

date. Portfolio securities and assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies contain risks that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Occasionally, events may impact the availability or reliability of foreign exchange rates used to convert the U.S. dollar equivalent value. If such an event occurs, the foreign exchange rate will be valued at fair value using procedures established and approved by the Board.

repurchase price and any other amounts owed by the seller to the Fund in the event of default by the seller. This could involve costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value falls below the repurchase price owed by the seller. The joint repurchase agreement held by the Fund at period end, as indicated in the Statement of Investments, had been entered into on June 30, 2014.

d. Securities Purchased on a Delayed Delivery Basis

The Fund purchases securities on a 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. Equity-Linked Securities

The Fund invests in equity-linked securities. Equity-linked securities are hybrid financial instruments that generally combine both debt and equity characteristics into a single note form. Income received from equity-linked securities is recorded as realized gains in the Statement of Operations and may be based on the performance of an underlying equity security, an equity index, or an option position. The risks of investing in equity-linked securities include unfavorable price movements in the underlying security and the credit risk of the issuing financial institution. There may be no guarantee of a return of principal with equity-linked securities and the appreciation potential may be limited. Equity-linked securities may be more volatile and less liquid than other investments held by the Fund.

f. Securities Lending

values is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The collateral is invested in a non-registered money fund as indicated on the Statement of Investments. The Fund receives income from the investment of cash collateral, in addition to lending fees and rebates paid by the borrower. The Fund bears the market risk with respect to the collateral investment, securities loaned, and the risk that the agent may default on its obligations to the Fund. The securities lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Fund in the event of default by a third party borrower.

Open tax years are those that remain subject to examination and are based on each tax jurisdiction statute of limitation.

i. 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. Facility fees are recognized as income over the expected term of the loan. 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.

6. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investments (excluding short term securities) for the period ended June 30, 2014, aggregated $543,448,589 and $759,472,982 respectively.

7. Credit Risk

At June 30, 2014, the Fund had 32.51% of its portfolio invested in high yield, senior secured floating rate notes, or other securities rated below investment grade. These securities may be more sensitive to economic conditions causing greater price volatility and are potentially subject to a greater risk of loss due to default than higher rated securities.

8. Restricted Securities

The Fund invests in securities that are restricted under the Securities Act of 1933 (1933 Act) or which are subject to legal, contractual, or other agreed upon restrictions on resale. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, and cannot be sold without prior registration unless the sale is pursuant to an exemption under the 1933 Act. Disposal of these securities may require greater effort and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. The Fund may have registration rights for restricted securities. The issuer generally incurs all registration costs.

At June 30, 2014, the Fund held investments in restricted securities, excluding certain securities exempt from registration under the 1933 Act deemed to be liquid, as follows:


Shares		Issuer	Acquisition Date		Cost		Value
	4,929,600	First Data Holdings Inc., B (Value is 0.25% of Net Assets)		6/26/14	$	19,718,400	$	19,718,400

Franklin Large Cap Growth VIP Fund

(Formerly, Franklin Large Cap Growth Securities Fund)

We are pleased to bring you Franklin Large Cap Growth VIP Fund’s semiannual report for the period ended June 30, 2014.

Class 1 Performance Summary as of June 30, 2014

Franklin Large Cap Growth VIP Fund – Class 1 delivered a total return of +8.37% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.


		Semiannual Report			FLG-1

FRANKLIN LARGE CAP GROWTH VIP FUND

Fund Goal and Main Investments: Franklin Large Cap Growth VIP Fund seeks capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in investments of large capitalization companies. For this Fund, large capitalization companies are those with market capitalization values within those of the top 50% of companies in the Russell 1000^® Index at the time of purchase.¹

Fund Risks: All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Stock prices fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and dramatically, due to factors affecting individual companies, particular industries or sectors, or general market conditions. The Fund may focus on particular sectors of the market from time to time, which can carry greater risks of adverse developments in such sectors. Smaller or midsized companies can be particularly sensitive to changing economic conditions, and their prospects for growth are less certain than those of larger, more established companies. Investments in foreign securities may involve special risks including currency fluctuations and economic and political uncertainty. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Performance Overview

You can find the Fund’s six-month total return in the Performance Summary. In comparison, the Fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s^® 500 Index (S&P 500^®), posted a +7.14% total return.²

Economic and Market Overview

LOGO

Investors’ confidence grew as corporate profits rose and generally favorable economic data indicated continued recovery despite brief sell-offs when many investors reacted to the Fed’s

statements, political instability in certain emerging markets and China’s slowing economy. U.S. stocks continued to gain for the six-months under review as the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average reached all-time highs.¹

Investment Strategy

We are a research driven, fundamental investor, pursuing a growth strategy. As a “bottom-up” investor focusing primarily on individual securities, we seek companies that have identifiable drivers of future earnings growth and that present, in our opinion, the best trade-off between that potential earnings growth, business and financial risk, and valuation.

Manager’s Discussion

Looking back on the key factors impacting the Fund’s returns during the six months under review, we would like to remind shareholders that our investment strategy is primarily bottom-up and driven by individual stock selection. However, we recognize that a sector-based discussion can be a helpful way to organize a portfolio review of key performance drivers. We employed our long-held strategy: bottom-up, individual-company, fundamental research aimed at opportunistically finding what we believed to be outstanding large-cap companies across all sectors, at valuations we believed understated their fair worth, with future growth potential being a key driver of estimated worth.

From a sector perspective, our stock selection in energy, health care and consumer discretionary helped the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P 500. Major energy contributors included oil companies Anadarko Petroleum, Oasis Petroleum,⁴ a new holding, and Devon Energy as well as oil-field services provider Halliburton. Anadarko Petroleum’s share price advanced after the company settled a long-running pollution case and hit a new high after news that the company could be acquired. Investor sentiment toward oil exploration and production companies improved as crude oil prices rose following geopolitical tension in Ukraine and Iraq.

In health care, global prescription drug maker Actavis, clinical-stage pharmaceutical company Karyopharm Therapeutics,⁴ a new holding, and health care benefit provider Aetna aided relative returns. Actavis’s shares rallied after the company announced it would acquire Forest Laboratories to strengthen its

specialty pharmaceuticals portfolio. Actavis also reported stronger-than-expected quarterly earnings, boosted by its acquisition of specialty drug maker Warner Chilcott in 2013. Aetna’s stock price gained after the company reported better-than-expected first-quarter results, driven by growth in new customers, and raised its 2014 guidance. The stock also benefited as investors’ concerns abated over the impact of the Affordable Care Act. Within consumer discretionary, automotive components manufacturer BorgWarner helped the Fund’s performance. The company reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter 2013 and first-quarter 2014 results and raised its full-year guidance given the potential benefits of acquiring engine component maker Gustav Wahler. In other sectors, personal computing and mobile communication device developer Apple was a key contributor.

In contrast, the Fund’s stock selection in consumer staples and an underweighting in utilities detracted from relative performance. Whole Foods Market in the consumer staples

sector was a key detractor.⁵ Heightened competition in the organic food market led the natural and organic foods retailer to deliver disappointing fiscal second-quarter revenues and earnings and lower its fiscal 2014 guidance. In the utilities sector, underweightings in electric utilities and multi-utilities weighed on the Fund’s performance. Elsewhere, major individual detractors were discount retailer Target, global payments and technology companies MasterCard and Visa, futures and options exchange operator CME Group⁵ and health care cost containment services provider HMS Holdings.⁴ A credit card data breach announced in December 2013 and problems with a Canadian expansion continued to weigh on Target’s stock, although fourth-quarter 2013 earnings beat estimates. The stock was also affected by concerns over management changes. MasterCard’s share price declined after the company reported softer-than-expected fiscal-year 2013 earnings. Investor concerns about the potential impact of U.S. economic sanctions on Russia further weighed on the stock. Russia accounted for about 2% of MasterCard’s global net revenues, and the country’s pending electronic payment rule changes could have a small negative effect on fiscal-year 2014 results. Potentially offsetting this negative effect was MasterCard’s organic growth, including new branding and

co-branding agreements. The company continued to repurchase its shares and delivered stronger-than-expected first-quarter 2014 revenues and earnings. The share price of CME Group declined after regulators began investigating whether exchanges such as CME Group were offering preferential treatment to high-frequency traders.

Class 1 Fund Expenses

•

Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes.

•

Actual Fund 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 × $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


Class 1	Beginning Account Value 1/1/14		Ending Account Value 6/30/14		Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period* 1/1/14–6/30/14

Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)	$	1,000	$	1,020.88	$	3.96

*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (0.79%), 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 181/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Franklin Large Cap Growth VIP 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 management investment company, consisting of twenty separate funds and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Franklin Large Cap Growth VIP Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are generally sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts. At June 30, 2014, 46.91% of the Fund's shares were held through one insurance company. Investment activities of these insurance company separate accounts could have a material impact on the Fund. 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.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Franklin Large Cap Growth Securities Fund was renamed the Franklin Large Cap Growth VIP Fund.

The following summarizes the Fund's significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

The Fund's investments in financial instruments are carried at fair value daily. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Fund calculates the net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), generally at 4 p.m. Eastern time (NYSE close) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. Under compliance policies and procedures approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund’s administrator has responsibility for oversight of valuation, including leading the cross-functional Valuation and Liquidity Oversight Committee (VLOC). The VLOC provides administration and oversight of the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, which are approved annually by the Board. Among other things, these procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.


FLG-14		Semiannual Report

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Franklin Large Cap Growth VIP Fund (continued)

the Fund’s portfolio securities as determined at the foreign market close and the latest indications of value at the close of

the NYSE. In order to minimize the potential for these differences, the VLOC 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 Depositary 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 that may call into question the reliability of the values of the foreign securities held by the Fund. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services.

b. Foreign Currency Translation

c. Joint Repurchase Agreement

d. Income and Deferred Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund intends to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

d. Income and Deferred Taxes (continued)

and net realized gains to relieve it from federal income and if applicable, excise taxes. As a result, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the tax position. As of June 30, 2014, and for all open tax years, the Fund has determined that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits is required in the Fund's financial statements related to uncertain tax positions taken on a tax return (or expected to be taken on future tax returns). Open tax years are those that remain subject to examination and are based on each tax jurisdiction statute of limitation.

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. 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.

f. Accounting 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.

Unrealized depreciation		(1,493,494	)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	$	90,156,398

8. Fair Value Measurements

•

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments

•

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc.)

•

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of financial instruments)

The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level.

For movements between the levels within the fair value hierarchy, the Fund has adopted a policy of recognizing the transfers as of the date of the underlying event which caused the movement.

A summary of inputs used as of June 30, 2014, in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value, is as follows:

FRANKLIN MUTUAL GLOBAL DISCOVERY VIP FUND

Fund Goal and Main Investments: Franklin Mutual Global Discovery VIP Fund seeks capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in U.S. and foreign equity securities that the investment manager believes are undervalued.

Fund Risks: All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Value securities may not increase in price as anticipated, or may decline further in value. The Fund’s investments in foreign securities involve certain risks including currency fluctuations, and economic and political uncertainties. Smaller company stocks have exhibited greater price volatility than larger company stocks, particularly over the short term. The Fund’s investments in companies engaged in mergers, reorganizations or liquidations also involve special risks as pending deals may not be completed on time or on favorable terms. The Fund may invest in lower rated bonds, which entail higher credit risk. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Performance Overview

You can find the Fund’s six-month total return in the Performance Summary. For comparison, the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI World Index, generated a +6.52% total return, and the Standard & Poor’s^® 500 Index posted a +7.14% total return for the same period.¹

Economic and Market Overview

The global economy grew moderately during the six months under review as many developed markets continued to recover and many emerging markets recorded continued growth. Major developed market central banks reaffirmed their accommodative monetary policies in an effort to support ongoing recovery. Several emerging market central banks cut interest rates to boost economic growth, while others raised rates to control inflation and currency depreciation.

bond purchases by $10 billion a month in January 2014, based on earlier largely positive economic and employment data. The Fed continued reducing asset purchases during the period.

Outside the U.S., the U.K. economy grew relatively well in the first half of 2014, supported by the services and manufacturing sectors. In the second quarter, a preliminary estimate registered expansion at precrisis levels. The Japanese economy grew strongly during the first quarter of 2014 as consumption rose ahead of a sales tax increase in April. The Bank of Japan kept its monetary policy unchanged as it maintained an upbeat inflation forecast and reiterated that the economy continued to recover moderately, despite challenges resulting from the sales tax increase. Japan’s growth weakened, however, in the second quarter. The Japanese government proposed a reduction in corporate taxes as part of its economic reforms in an effort to avoid deflation and facilitate growth. Although out of recession, the eurozone experienced deflationary risks and weak employment trends. The region’s first-quarter economic growth was softer than what many observers had expected. In the second quarter, concerns arose about the potential negative impacts to growth from the crisis in Ukraine and tension in the Middle East. Toward period-end, the European Central Bank reduced its main interest rate and, for the first time, set a negative deposit rate.

In several emerging markets, including China, growth remained solid though moderating, as domestic demand and exports were relatively soft. Emerging market equities generally rose for the six-month period, despite volatility resulting from concerns about moderating economic growth, rising geopolitical tensions in certain regions and the potential impact of the Fed’s tapering its asset purchases. Many emerging market currencies depreciated against the U.S. dollar, leading central banks in several countries, including Brazil, India, Turkey and South Africa, to raise interest rates in an effort to curb inflation and support their currencies.

the crises in Ukraine and Iraq. The U.S. dollar was relatively flat compared to most currencies.

Investment Strategy

At Franklin Mutual Series, we are committed to our distinctive value approach to investing. Our major investment strategy is investing in undervalued stocks. When selecting undervalued equities, we are attracted to fundamentally strong companies with healthy balance sheets, high-quality assets, substantial free cash flow and shareholder-oriented management teams and whose stocks are trading at discounts to our assessment of the companies’ intrinsic or business value. We also look for asset rich companies whose shares may be trading at depressed levels due to concerns over short-term earnings disappointments, litigation, management strategy or other perceived negatives. While the vast majority of our undervalued equity investments are made in publicly traded companies globally, we may invest occasionally in privately held companies as well.

We complement this more traditional investment strategy with two others. One is distressed investing, which is complex and can take many forms. The most common distressed investment the Fund undertakes is the purchase of financially troubled or bankrupt companies’ debt at a substantial discount to face value. After the financially distressed company is reorganized, often in bankruptcy court, the old debt is typically replaced with new securities issued by the financially stronger company.

The other piece of our investment strategy is participating in arbitrage situations, another highly specialized field. When companies announce proposed mergers or takeovers, commonly referred to as “deals,” the target company may trade at a discount to the bid it ultimately accepts. One form of arbitrage involves purchasing the target company’s stock when it is trading below the value we believe it would receive in a deal. In keeping with our commitment to a relatively conservative investment approach, we typically focus our arbitrage efforts on announced deals, and eschew rumored deals or other situations we consider relatively risky.

In addition, it is our practice to hedge the Fund’s currency exposure when we deem it advantageous for our shareholders.

What is meant by “hedge”?

To hedge an investment is to take a position intended to offset potential losses/gains that may be incurred by a companion financial instrument.

Manager’s Discussion

Many Fund holdings increased in value during the review period. Top contributors included pharmaceutical companies Teva Pharmaceutical Industries and Merck & Co. and technology leader Apple.


		Semiannual Report			MGD-3

FRANKLIN MUTUAL GLOBAL DISCOVERY VIP FUND

Shares of Israel-based Teva Pharmaceutical Industries rose notably in the first quarter of 2014, supported by positive developments related to the company’s most profitable drug, Copaxone, which is used to prevent the relapse of multiple sclerosis. In March, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Teva’s patent appeal, which could lead to potential delays in generic competition for Copaxone. In addition, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had delays approving a generic for Copaxone while Teva has done a good job converting more patients to its new formulation of the drug. This should help the company retain a higher portion of revenues and cash flows from this highly profitable product. Also supporting the share price was the announcement of a new chief executive officer, who the market believed could successfully execute on Teva’s cost-cutting restructuring program. Despite Teva’s recent positive performance, at period-end, we still believed its shares had further upside potential. Our analysis suggested opportunities remained for margin expansion through restructuring efforts, especially in Teva’s generics division. We also believed that investors were not attaching appropriate value to its research and development investments.

Merck’s stock started 2014 on a positive note as the company announced a rolling submission to the U.S. FDA in January for one of its key drug compounds to treat advanced melanoma. The filing timeline was substantially ahead of the market’s prior expectations. In February, the stock moved higher following Merck’s announcement of clinical collaboration agreements with three other pharmaceutical companies that suggested to the market that Merck was willing to collaborate and was planning to make substantial investments to realize the full value of this important asset. The positive news continued in May with the sale of its consumer care business to Bayer for $14.2 billion, a price that we believed offered significant value to Merck shareholders.

In April, Apple reported quarterly results that beat consensus estimates, driven by its strong iPhone business. In addition, the company announced a trio of shareholder-friendly actions. Apple’s board of directors authorized an increase in the company’s share repurchase program to $90 billion from $60 billion while maintaining the December 2015 end date. The Board also approved an approximately 8% dividend increase and announced a 7-for-1 stock split that went into effect in early June.

During the period under review, some of the Fund’s investments negatively affected performance. These included mobile telecommunications company Vodafone Group, retailer Metro and financial services firm KB Financial Group.

In May, U.K.-based Vodafone Group reported fiscal fourth-quarter results (the company has a March 31 fiscal year-end) as earnings fell short of expectations and capital spending increased significantly, following Vodafone’s strategic decision to significantly upgrade its network to offer a differentiated level of service. The company believed that consumers would be willing to pay a premium for network quality as data usage increases. We agreed with this position; however, in the near term, earnings were likely to be under pressure. With the possibility of a merger with AT&T on hold, we believed the primary near-term catalysts were potential market consolidation in Europe, disposals of non-core assets and the resolution of a tax dispute with India’s government, which could pave the way for an initial public offering (IPO) of Vodafone’s India business.

Upheaval in Ukraine disrupted Germany-based retailer Metro’s plans to pursue a partial IPO of its Russia cash-and-carry business. The potential IPO, which was put on hold in mid-March, was being closely watched as it would have provided a benchmark valuation for this important Metro operation and also raised capital to fund growth and further reduce debt. Shares of Metro rebounded slightly in May as quarterly results revealed that operations in Russia continued to perform well with a slight uptick in business, small market share gains and intentions to

accelerate the company’s new store opening program. Although capital market conditions were not yet suitable for the delayed IPO as of period-end, we believed the quarterly results demonstrated Metro could act quickly if conditions improve.

KB Financial Group shares declined in January after the firm announced leaks of client credit card information. KB Financial was one of three South Korean financial firms that reported data leaks, and the country’s Financial Supervisory Service banned each from issuing new credit cards for three months. In June, top executives at the company and its credit card unit offered to resign amid ongoing investigations. In our view, the market overreacted and the magnitude of the decline in KB Financial’s share price suggested investors were ascribing a negative value to the group’s credit card business.

During the period, the Fund held currency forwards and futures to somewhat hedge the currency risk of the portfolio’s non-U.S. dollar investments. The hedges had a minor negative impact on the Fund’s performance.

What is a currency forward contract?

A currency forward contract, also called a “currency forward,” is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specific exchange rate on a future date.

What is a futures contract?

A futures contract, also called a “future,” is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty made through a U.S. or foreign futures exchange to buy or sell an asset at a specific price on a future date.

Class 1 Fund Expenses

•

Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes.

•

Actual Fund 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 × $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


Class 1	Beginning Account Value 1/1/14		Ending Account Value 6/30/14		Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period* 1/1/14–6/30/14
Actual		$1,000		$1,073.80		$5.09
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		$1,000		$1,019.89		$4.96

*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (0.99%), 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 181/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Franklin Mutual Global Discovery VIP 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 management investment company, consisting of twenty separate funds and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Franklin Mutual Global Discovery VIP Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are generally sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts. At June 30, 2014, 64.81% of the Fund’s shares were held through one insurance company. Investment activities of these insurance company separate accounts could have a material impact on the Fund. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Class 1, Class 2, and Class 4. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Mutual Global Discovery Securities Fund was renamed the Franklin Mutual Global Discovery VIP Fund.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

Equity securities and derivative financial instruments (derivatives) listed on an 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. Foreign equity securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded or as of the NYSE close, whichever is earlier. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the NYSE close on the day that the value of the security is determined. Over-the-counter (OTC) securities 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. Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships to similar securities.

Certain derivatives trade in the OTC market. The Fund’s pricing services use various techniques including industry standard option pricing models and proprietary discounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of those instruments. The Fund’s net benefit or obligation under the derivative contract, as measured by the fair value of the contract, is included in net assets.

The Fund has procedures to determine the fair value of financial instruments for which market prices are not reliable or readily available. Under these procedures, the VLOC convenes on a

significant security valuation changes due to an open foreign market are adjusted and reflected by the Fund for financial reporting purposes.

c. Derivative Financial Instruments

c. Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)

under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market, and/or the potential for market movements which expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain and loss and unrealized appreciation and depreciation on these contracts for the period are included in the Statement of Operations.

Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through a formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties. The Fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives, whenever possible, by entering into International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreements with certain counterparties. These agreements contain various provisions, including but not limited to collateral requirements, events of default, or early termination. Termination events applicable to the counterparty include certain deteriorations in the credit quality of the counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Fund include failure of the Fund to maintain certain net asset levels and/or limit the decline in net assets over various periods of time. In the event of default or early termination, the ISDA master agreement gives the non-defaulting party the right to net and close-out all transactions traded, whether or not arising under the ISDA agreement, to one net amount payable by one counterparty to the other. However, absent an event of default or early termination, OTC derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross and not offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Early termination by the counterparty may result in an immediate payment by the Fund of any net liability owed to that counterparty under the ISDA agreement. At June 30, 2014, the Fund had OTC derivatives in a net liability position of $2,156,389 and the aggregate value of collateral pledged for such contracts was $1,527,548.

amount, which typically ranges from $100,000 to $250,000, and can vary depending on the counterparty and the type of the agreement. Generally, collateral is determined at the close of fund business each day and any additional collateral required due to changes in derivative values may be delivered by the fund or the counterparty within a few business days. Collateral pledged and/or received by the fund for OTC derivatives, if any, is held in segregated accounts with the fund’s custodian/counterparty broker and can be in the form of cash and/or securities. Unrestricted cash may be invested according to the Fund’s investment objectives.

The Fund entered into exchange traded futures contracts primarily to manage exposure to certain foreign currencies. A futures contract is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell an asset for a specified price on a future date. Required initial margins are pledged by the Fund, and the daily change in fair value is accounted for as a variation margin payable or receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund entered into OTC forward exchange contracts primarily to manage exposure to certain foreign currencies. A forward exchange contract is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specific exchange rate on a future date.

The Fund purchased or wrote exchange traded option contracts primarily to manage exposure to equity price risk. An option is a contract entitling the holder to purchase or sell a specific amount of shares or units of an asset or notional amount of a swap (swaption), at a specified price. Options purchased are recorded as an asset while options written are recorded as a liability. Upon exercise of an option, the acquisition cost or sales proceeds of the underlying investment is adjusted by any premium received or paid. Upon expiration of an option, any premium received or paid is recorded as a realized gain or loss. Upon closing an option other than through expiration or exercise, the difference between the premium and the cost to close the position is recorded as a realized gain or loss.

See Notes 6 and 10 regarding investment transactions and other derivative information, respectively.

d. Securities Sold Short

Franklin Mutual Global Discovery VIP Fund (continued)

on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund realizes a gain if the price of the security declines between those dates. Gains are limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, while losses are potentially unlimited in size.

The Fund is required to establish a margin account with the broker lending the security sold short. While the short sale is outstanding, the broker retains the proceeds of the short sale to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements until the short position is closed out. A deposit must also be maintained with the Fund’s custodian/counterparty broker consisting of cash and/or securities having a value equal to a specified percentage of the value of the securities sold short. The Fund is obligated to pay fees for borrowing the securities sold short and is required to pay the counterparty any dividends and/or interest due on securities sold short. Such dividends and/or interest and any security borrowing fees are recorded as an expense to the Fund.

e. Securities Lending

The Fund participates in an agency based securities lending program. The Fund receives cash collateral against the loaned securities in an amount equal to at least 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities. Collateral is maintained over the life of the loan in an amount not less than 100% of the fair value of loaned securities, as determined at the close of fund business each day; any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The collateral is invested in non-registered money fund. The Fund receives income from the investment of cash collateral, in addition to lending fees and rebates paid by the borrower. The Fund bears the market risk with respect to the collateral investment, securities loaned, and the risk that the agent may default on its obligations to the Fund. The securities lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Fund in the event of default by a third party borrower. At June 30, 2014, the Fund had no securities on loan.

f. Senior Floating Rate Interests

Senior secured corporate loans in which the Fund invests are generally readily marketable, but may be subject to certain restrictions on resale.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

h. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions (continued)

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.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, not including 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.

Franklin Mutual Shares VIP Fund

(Formerly, Mutual Shares Securities Fund)

We are pleased to bring you Franklin Mutual Shares VIP Fund’s semiannual report for the period ended June 30, 2014.

Class 1 Performance Summary as of June 30, 2014

Franklin Mutual Shares VIP Fund – Class 1 delivered a total return of +8.17% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.


		Semiannual Report			MS-1

FRANKLIN MUTUAL SHARES VIP FUND

Fund Goals and Main Investments: Franklin Mutual Shares VIP Fund seeks capital appreciation, with income as a secondary goal. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in U.S. and foreign equity securities that the investment manager believes are undervalued.

Fund Risks: All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Value securities may not increase in price as anticipated or may decline further in value. The Fund’s investments in foreign securities involve special risks including currency fluctuations, and economic and political uncertainties. The Fund may also invest in companies engaged in mergers, reorganizations or liquidations, which involve special risks as pending deals may not be completed on time or on favorable terms, as well as lower rated bonds, which entail higher credit risk. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Performance Overview

You can find the Fund’s six-month total return in the Performance Summary. For comparison, the Fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s^® 500 Index, delivered a +7.14% total return for the period under review.¹

Economic and Market Overview

kept the pace of asset-purchase tapering intact while adopting a more qualitative approach to rate-hike guidance. However, the Fed pledged to keep interest rates low for a considerable time after the asset-purchase program ends, depending on inflation and employment trends. In June, the Fed lowered projections for near- and long-term economic growth even as it maintained the pace of tapering.

The U.K. economy grew relatively well in the first half of 2014, supported by the services and manufacturing sectors. In the second quarter, a preliminary estimate registered expansion at precrisis levels. The Japanese economy grew strongly during the first quarter of 2014 as consumption rose ahead of a sales tax increase in April. The Bank of Japan kept its monetary policy unchanged as it maintained an upbeat inflation forecast and reiterated that the economy continued to recover moderately, despite challenges resulting from the sales tax increase. Japan’s growth weakened, however, in the second quarter. Although out of recession, the eurozone experienced deflationary risks and weak employment trends. The region’s first-quarter economic growth was softer than many observers had expected. In the second quarter, concerns arose about the potential negative impacts to growth from the crisis in Ukraine and tension in the Middle East. Toward period-end, the European Central Bank reduced its main interest rate and, for the first time, set a negative deposit rate.

geopolitical tensions. The U.S. dollar was relatively flat compared to most currencies.

Investment Strategy

In addition, it is our practice to hedge the Fund’s currency exposure when we deem it advantageous for our shareholders.

What is meant by “hedge”?

To hedge an investment is to take a position intended to offset potential losses/gains that may be incurred by a companion financial instrument.

*Weightings may be negative or may not total 100% due to rounding, use of any derivatives, unsettled trades or other factors.

Manager’s Discussion

Many Fund holdings increased in value during the six-month period. Top contributors included Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, technology leader Apple and energy services firm Baker Hughes.


		Semiannual Report			MS-3

FRANKLIN MUTUAL SHARES VIP FUND

Teva’s cost-cutting restructuring program. Despite Teva’s recent positive performance, at period-end, we still believed its shares had further upside potential. Our analysis suggested opportunities remained for margin expansion through restructuring efforts, especially in Teva’s generics division. We also believed that investors were not attaching appropriate value to its research and development investments.

Shares of Baker Hughes appreciated as U.S. oil shale drilling remained strong, natural gas prices jumped and customers’ international activity remained steady. In late January, management reiterated an upbeat message about progress in improving profitability in the company’s North American business. Baker Hughes reported better-than-expected quarterly results in April as margins benefited from improved efficiency and the resumption of activity in Iraq. At period-end, we believed the company could likely benefit further from internal restructuring actions and a renewed focus on capital allocation.

During the period under review, some of the Fund’s investments negatively affected performance. These included mobile telecommunications company Vodafone Group, automaker General Motors (GM) and diversified financial services firm Citigroup.

GM issued an ongoing series of recalls for vehicles sold in North America due to potential problems with unexpected engine shutdowns. In February, the company reported quarterly results that fell short of consensus expectations, although the miss resulted largely from a one-time restructuring charge. The quarterly results reported in February and then in April showed continued improvement in Europe, and we believed the company


	MS-4			Semiannual Report

FRANKLIN MUTUAL SHARES VIP FUND

has executed well on its European restructuring and ongoing launches of its pick-up trucks and sport utility vehicles. Additionally, we were encouraged by how GM’s new CEO, Mary Barra, has handled the recall-related concerns so far.

Citigroup announced disappointing fiscal fourth-quarter 2013 results in January reflecting weak revenue and higher expenses. Citigroup’s shares came under pressure again in March after it failed the Fed’s latest annual bank stress test, prohibiting Citigroup from repurchasing shares or increasing its dividend for 12 months. During the review period, political and economic events in emerging markets (EM) weighed on the stock price as Citigroup had more EM exposure than other U.S. banks, although exposure to particularly troubled areas such as Ukraine, Thailand and Turkey was relatively limited. Despite the company’s recent difficulties, we believed our investment thesis of modest top-line growth, positive operating leverage, the disposition of non-core assets and return of excess capital to shareholders remained intact.

What is a currency forward contract?

A currency forward contract, also called a “currency forward,” is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specific exchange rate on a future date.

Class 1 Fund Expenses

•

Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes.

•

Actual Fund 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 × $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


Class 1	Beginning Account Value 1/1/14		Ending Account Value 6/30/14		Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period* 1/1/14–6/30/14
Actual		$1,000		$1,081.70		$3.72
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		$1,000		$1,021.22		$3.61

*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (0.72%), 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 181/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Franklin Mutual Shares VIP 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 management investment company, consisting of twenty separate funds and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Franklin Mutual Shares VIP Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are generally 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 4. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Mutual Shares Securities Fund was renamed the Franklin Mutual Shares VIP Fund.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

Equity securities and derivative financial instruments (derivatives) listed on an 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. Foreign equity securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded or as of the NYSE close, whichever is earlier. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the NYSE close on the day that the value of the security is determined. Over-the-counter (OTC) securities 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. Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships to similar securities. Investments in non-registered money market funds are valued at the closing net asset value.

valuation inputs, when arriving at fair value. The VLOC primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may also be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The VLOC employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis, and reviews of any related market activity.

b. Foreign Currency Translation

c. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Fund invested in derivatives in order to manage risk or gain exposure to various other investments or markets. Derivatives are financial contracts based on an underlying or notional amount, require no initial investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than would normally be required to have a similar response to changes in market factors, and require or permit net settlement. Derivatives contain various risks including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill their obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market, and/or the potential for market movements which expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

c. Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)

Realized gain and loss and unrealized appreciation and depreciation on these contracts for the period are included in the Statement of Operations.

Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through a formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties. The Fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives, whenever possible, by entering into International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreements with certain counterparties. These agreements contain various provisions, including but not limited to collateral requirements, events of default, or early termination. Termination events applicable to the counterparty include certain deteriorations in the credit quality of the counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Fund include failure of the Fund to maintain certain net asset levels and/or limit the decline in net assets over various periods of time. In the event of default or early termination, the ISDA master agreement gives the non-defaulting party the right to net and close-out all transactions traded, whether or not arising under the ISDA agreement, to one net amount payable by one counterparty to the other. However, absent an event of default or early termination, OTC derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross and not offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Early termination by the counterparty may result in an immediate payment by the Fund of any net liability owed to that counterparty under the ISDA agreement. At June 30, 2014, the Fund had OTC derivatives in a net liability position of $12,358,485 and the aggregate value of collateral pledged for such contracts was $9,677,237.

due to changes in derivative values may be delivered by the fund or the counterparty within a few business days. Collateral pledged and/or received by the fund for OTC derivatives, if any, is held in segregated accounts with the fund’s custodian/counterparty broker and can be in the form of cash and/or securities. Unrestricted cash may be invested according to the Fund’s investment objectives.

See Note 9 regarding other derivative information.

d. Securities Sold Short

The Fund is engaged in selling securities short, which obligates the Fund to replace a borrowed security with the same security at current fair value. The Fund incurs a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund realizes a gain if the price of the security declines between those dates. Gains are limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, while losses are potentially unlimited in size.


MS-26		Semiannual Report

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Franklin Mutual Shares VIP Fund (continued)

The Fund is required to establish a margin account with the broker lending the security sold short. While the short sale is outstanding, the broker retains the proceeds of the short sale to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements until the short position is closed out. A deposit must also be maintained with the Fund’s custodian/counterparty broker consisting of cash and/or securities having a value equal to a specified percentage of the value of the securities sold short. The Fund is obligated to pay fees for borrowing the securities sold short and is required to pay the counterparty any dividends and/or interest due on securities sold short. Such dividends or interest and any security borrowing fees are recorded as an expense to the Fund.

e. Securities Lending

The Fund participates in an agency based securities lending program. The Fund receives cash collateral against the loaned securities in an amount equal to at least 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities. Collateral is maintained over the life of the loan in an amount not less than 100% of the fair value of loaned securities, as determined at the close of fund business each day; any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The collateral is invested in a non-registered money fund. The Fund receives income from the investment of cash collateral, in addition to lending fees and rebates paid by the borrower. The Fund bears the market risk with respect to the collateral investment, securities loaned, and the risk that the agent may default on its obligations to the Fund. The securities lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Fund in the event of default by a third party borrower.

f. Senior Floating Rate Interests

g. Income and Deferred Taxes

It is the Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund intends to

distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains to relieve it from federal income and if applicable, excise taxes. As a result, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.

h. 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 and dividends declared on securities sold short are 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.

Under the Fund’s compensation distribution plans, 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

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investments and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for income tax purposes were as follows:



Cost of investments		$4,016,321,905


Unrealized appreciation		$1,510,093,857

Unrealized depreciation		(118,718,388)

Differences between income and/or capital gains as determined on a book basis and a tax basis are primarily due to differing treatments of foreign currency transactions, bond discounts and premiums, and wash sales.

6. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investments (excluding short term securities and securities sold short) for the period ended June 30, 2014, aggregated $573,601,822 and $817,139,691, respectively.

7. Credit Risk and Defaulted Securities

The Fund may purchase the pre-default or defaulted debt of distressed companies. Distressed companies are financially troubled and are about to be or are already involved in financial restructuring or bankruptcy. Risks associated with purchasing these securities include the possibility that the bankruptcy or other restructuring process takes longer than expected, or that distributions in restructuring are less than anticipated, either or both of which may result in unfavorable consequences to the Fund. If it becomes probable that the income on debt securities, including those of distressed companies, will not be collected, the Fund discontinues accruing income and recognizes an adjustment for uncollectible interest.

		Semiannual Report			FRD-1

FRANKLIN RISING DIVIDENDS VIP FUND

Fund Goal and Main Investments: Franklin Rising Dividends VIP Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation, with preservation of capital as an important consideration. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies that have paid rising dividends.

Fund Risks: All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Value securities may not increase in price as anticipated or may decline further in value. While smaller and midsized companies may offer substantial opportunities for capital growth, they also involve heightened risks and should be considered speculative. Historically, smaller- and midsized-company securities have been more volatile in price than larger company securities, especially over the short term. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Performance Overview

You can find the Fund’s six-month total return in the Performance Summary. In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s^® 500 Index (S&P 500^®) rose 7.14% for the same period.¹ Please note the Fund employs a bottom-up stock selection process, and the managers invest in securities without regard to benchmark comparisons.

FRD-2		Semiannual Report

FRANKLIN RISING DIVIDENDS VIP FUND

Investment Strategy

We are a research-driven, fundamental investment adviser, pursuing a disciplined value-oriented strategy. As bottom-up investors concentrating primarily on individual securities, we seek fundamentally sound companies that we believe meet our screening criteria, which include consistent, substantial dividend increases; reinvested earnings; and strong balance sheets. We attempt to acquire such stocks at attractive prices, often when they are out of favor with other investors. In following these criteria, we do not necessarily focus on companies whose securities pay a high dividend but rather on companies that consistently raise their dividends.

Manager’s Discussion

During the six months under review, three holdings that helped absolute Fund performance were Air Products and Chemicals, Johnson & Johnson and Walgreen. Shares of Air Products and Chemicals, an industrial gas producer, benefited from solid earnings and positive sentiment surrounding the ongoing involvement of an activist shareholder. In mid-June, shares rose sharply after the appointment of Seifi Ghasemi to replace the outgoing chief executive officer, John McGlade. The company has a 32-year history of increasing dividends. Johnson & Johnson’s stock rallied as a result of investor excitement about the fruition of its pharmaceutical pipeline. Although management indicated it was unlikely to break up the company, investors may have anticipated a possible separation of the company’s

medical devices and pharmaceutical businesses because of similar actions taken by competitors. The company has increased its dividend for the past 52 years. Walgreen’s sales growth was solid year-to-date, despite weak customer traffic trends. Management delivered on promised procurement synergies from the company’s merger with Switzerland-based Alliance Boots, and it expected potential further benefits from the expansion of Boots’ private label products in the U.S. Based on Walgreen’s latest comments, we believe the company is considering a potential tax inversion via the acquisition of the remaining equity stake in Alliance Boots and moving its domicile outside the U.S. Walgreen has 38 consecutive years of dividend increases.

Detractors from absolute Fund performance included West Pharmaceutical Services, Pentair and Wal-Mart Stores. Results were solid for West Pharmaceutical Services, a medical devices manufacturer, and the company’s underlying growth prospects remain unchanged, but investors may have taken profits, given the stock’s price appreciation. Investor rotation into other segments within health care may have also contributed to the company’s lower stock price. West Pharmaceutical Services has 21 years of dividend increases. Shares of Pentair, a water delivery and thermal systems manufacturer, declined largely driven by weaker-than-expected first-quarter results. Ongoing weakness in emerging market infrastructure investment negatively impacted the company’s Australian pipe business. Although these headwinds have been ongoing since the business was acquired as a non-core portion of the Tyco Flow merger, Pentair’s management was surprised by the magnitude of decline and focused on restructuring and resizing this business. The company also reported ongoing strength in its food and beverage and North American residential and commercial segments. Pentair had significant improvement in its operating margins as a result of cost control initiatives and ongoing synergy realization from the Tyco Flow merger. Pentair has 38 years of dividend increases. Wal-Mart Stores, a global discount retailer, reported soft sales trends in its past two quarters, partly resulting from severe weather, but slowing consumer traffic and other secular negative trends also contributed. The company’s management has since taken a proactive stance in addressing underperforming stores, improving its merchandise mix and better integrating its retail store and e-commerce distribution channels, but the results of these initiatives are yet to be seen.

The dollar value, number of shares or principal amount, and names of all portfolio holdings are listed in the Fund’s Statement of Investments.

During the period, we initiated new positions in Accenture, a management consulting, technology and outsourcing services firm with nine years of consecutive dividend increases; Perrigo, a global pharmaceuticals supplier (11 years); DENTSPLY International, a dental health care products manufacturer with a long history of dividend increases; Microsoft, a global software and services provider (10 years); CVS Caremark, an integrated pharmacy health care provider (11 years); and Schlumberger, an oilfield services company with a substantial history of dividend increases. We liquidated our holdings in Cohu and Kid Brands and reduced our holdings in International Business Machines, Air Products and Chemicals, and United Technologies, among others.

Our 10 largest positions on June 30, 2014, represented 37.3% of the Fund’s total net assets. It is interesting to note how these 10 companies would respond, in aggregate, to the Fund’s screening criteria based on a simple average of statistical measures. On

average, these 10 companies have raised their dividends 37 years in a row and by 213% in the past 10 years. Their most recent year-over-year dividend increases averaged 10.6% with a yield of 2.1% on June 30, 2014, and a dividend payout ratio of 38.1%, based on estimates of calendar year 2014 operating earnings. The average price/earnings ratio was 18.6 times calendar year 2014 estimates versus 16.5 for that of the unmanaged S&P 500.

Thank you for your participation in Franklin Rising Dividends VIP Fund. We look forward to continuing to serve your investment needs.

Class 1 Fund Expenses

•

Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes.

•

Actual Fund 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:

Divide your account value by $1,000.

If an account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6.

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 × $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


Class 1	Beginning Account Value 1/1/14		Ending Account Value 6/30/14		Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period* 1/1/14–6/30/14
Actual		$1,000		$1,043.30		$3.12
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		$1,000		$1,021.74		$3.09

*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio, net of expense waivers, 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 181/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Franklin Rising Dividends VIP 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 management investment company, consisting of twenty separate funds and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Franklin Rising Dividends VIP Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are generally sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts. At June 30, 2014, 42.85% of the Fund’s shares were held through one insurance company. Investment activities of these insurance company separate accounts could have a material impact on the Fund. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Class 1, Class 2, and Class 4. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Franklin Rising Dividends Securities Fund was renamed Franklin Rising Dividends VIP Fund.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

Equity securities listed on an 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 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. Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships to similar securities. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value.

b. Income Taxes


FRD-16		Semiannual Report

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

those that remain subject to examination and are based on each tax jurisdiction statute of limitation.

c. 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. Estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income is recorded on 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.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, not including 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.

d. Accounting Estimates

e. Guarantees and Indemnifications

(Formerly, Franklin Small Cap Value Securities Fund)

This semiannual report for Franklin Small Cap Value VIP Fund covers the period ended June 30, 2014.

Class 1 Performance Summary as of June 30, 2014

Franklin Small Cap Value VIP Fund – Class 1 delivered a +4.73% total return* for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.


		Semiannual Report			FSV-1

FRANKLIN SMALL CAP VALUE VIP FUND

Fund Goal and Main Investments: Franklin Small Cap Value VIP Fund seeks long-term total return. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in investments of small capitalization companies. For this Fund, small capitalization companies are those with market capitalizations under $3.5 billion at the time of purchase. The Fund generally invests in equity securities of companies that the manager believes are undervalued and have the potential for capital appreciation.

Fund Risks: All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. The Fund’s investments in smaller company stocks carry special risks as such stocks have historically exhibited greater price volatility than large-company stocks, particularly over the short term. Additionally, smaller companies often have relatively small revenues, limited product lines and a small market share. In addition, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities, which involve special risks, including currency fluctuations and economic and political uncertainty. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Performance Overview

You can find the Fund’s six-month total return in the Performance Summary. For comparison, the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2500^TM Value Index, rose 7.87% for the same period.¹ Please note the Fund employs a bottom-up stock selection process, and the managers invest in securities without regard to benchmark comparisons.

FRANKLIN SMALL CAP VALUE VIP FUND

Investment Strategy

We generally invest in stocks that we believe are undervalued and have the potential for capital appreciation. We consider a stock price a “value” when it trades at less than the price at which we believe it would trade if the market reflected all factors relating to the company’s worth. Accordingly, we invest in companies that we believe have, for example, stock prices that are low relative to current or historical or future earnings, book value, cash flow or sales; recent sharp price declines but the potential for good long-term earnings prospects; and valuable intangibles not reflected in the stock price. Companies in which we may invest include those that may be considered out of favor, such as companies attempting to recover from bankruptcy, business setbacks, adverse events or cyclical downturns, or that may be considered potential takeover targets.

Manager’s Discussion

Contributors to absolute Fund performance included Trinity Industries, Protective Life and Unit Corp. Trinity Industries, a railcar manufacturer, benefited from strong demand for crude oil tank railcars related to a surge in domestic energy production, a broadening of orders for other rail car types such as hoppers and auto racks, accretive asset sales and the potential for acquisitions and other shareholder-friendly capital

allocations. Protective Life was the subject of a takeover offer from Dai-ichi Life Insurance at a 34% premium to the company’s unaffected share price on May 30, 2014. Unit Corp., an onshore oil and gas exploration, production and services company, was helped by an increase in natural gas prices because of the cold winter and improved demand for land-based drilling rigs to support the North American energy revolution.

Detractors from absolute Fund performance included La-Z-Boy, GameStop and Gentex. La-Z-Boy, a furniture retailer, had weaker-than-expected sales as severe winter weather seemingly hurt results, and management indicated that sales were likely to remain soft during the usually slow summer season. GameStop, a video game retailer, reported weaker-than-expected new software sales and lowered guidance as the industry shifted its focus to new video game consoles developed by Microsoft and Sony. Gentex experienced earnings-multiple compression as its earnings growth rate, although strong, was expected to slow from 2013 levels.

During the period, we initiated new positions in four new holdings: Maple Leaf Foods, a packaged consumer foods manufacturer; GrainCorp, a grain products and services provider; Axiall, a chemicals and building products manufacturer; and Minerals Technologies, a global producer of value-added specialty minerals. We also added to our holdings in Genesco, a specialty footwear and apparel retailer; Lindsay, a manufacturer of irrigation equipment and road construction products; and Atwood Oceanics, a global offshore drilling contractor, among others. We eliminated positions in Harman International Industries, Benchmark Electronics, Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, AMCOL International and Schawk, among others. Schawk was the subject of an acquisition by Matthews International. Some holdings we reduced included Autoliv and the aforementioned Trinity Industries and Protective Life.

Class 1 Fund Expenses

•

Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes.

•

Actual Fund 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:

Divide your account value by $1,000.

If an account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6.

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 × $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

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Franklin Small Cap Value VIP 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 management investment company, consisting of twenty separate funds and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Franklin Small Cap Value VIP Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are generally 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 4. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Franklin Small Cap Value Securities Fund was renamed the Franklin Small Cap Value VIP Fund.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

Equity securities listed on an 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. Foreign

equity securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded or as of the NYSE close, whichever is earlier. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the NYSE close on the day that the value of the security is determined. Over-the-counter (OTC) securities 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. Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships to similar securities. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

market close and the latest indications of value at the close of the NYSE. In order to minimize the potential for these differences, the VLOC 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 Depositary 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 that may call into question the reliability of the values of the foreign securities held by the Fund. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services.

b. Foreign Currency Translation

Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the

c. Repurchase Agreements

The Fund enters into repurchase agreements, which are accounted for as a loan by the Fund to the seller, collateralized by securities which are delivered to the Fund’s custodian. The fair value, including accrued interest, of the initial collateralization is required to be at least 102% of the dollar amount invested by the Fund, with the value of the underlying securities marked to market daily to maintain coverage of at least 100%. Repurchase agreements are subject to the terms of Master Repurchase Agreements (MRAs) with approved counterparties (sellers). The MRAs contain various provisions, including but not limited to events of default and maintenance of collateral for repurchase agreements. In the event of default by either the seller or the Fund, certain MRAs may permit the non-defaulting party to net and close-out all transactions, if any, traded under such agreements. The Fund may sell securities it holds as collateral and apply the proceeds towards the repurchase price and any other amounts owed by the seller to the Fund in the event of default by the seller. This could involve costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value falls below the repurchase price owed by the seller. All repurchase agreements held by the Fund at period end, as indicated in the Statement of Investments, had been entered into on June 30, 2014.

d. Securities Lending

The Fund participates in an agency based securities lending program. The Fund receives cash collateral against the loaned securities in an amount equal to at least 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities. Collateral is maintained over the life of the loan in an amount not less than 100% of the fair value of loaned securities, as determined at the close of fund business each day; any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The collateral is invested in repurchase agreements as indicated on the Statement of Investments. The Fund receives income from the investment of cash collateral, in addition to lending fees and rebates paid by the borrower. The Fund bears the market risk

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.

(Formerly, Franklin Small-Mid Cap Growth Securities Fund)

This semiannual report for Franklin Small-Mid Cap Growth VIP Fund covers the period ended June 30, 2014.

Class 1 Performance Summary as of June 30, 2014

Franklin Small-Mid Cap Growth VIP Fund – Class 1 delivered a +5.53% total return* for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.


		Semiannual Report			FSC-1

FRANKLIN SMALL-MID CAP GROWTH VIP FUND

Fund Goal and Main Investments: Franklin Small-Mid Cap Growth VIP Fund seeks long-term capital growth. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small capitalization and mid-capitalization companies. For this Fund, small cap companies are those within the market capitalization range of companies in the Russell 2500^TM Index at the time of purchase, and midcap companies are those within the market capitalization range of companies in the Russell Midcap^® Index at the time of purchase.¹

Fund Risks: All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Growth stock prices reflect projections of future earnings or revenues, and can, therefore, fall dramatically if the company fails to meet those projections. Smaller, midsized or relatively new or unseasoned companies can be particularly sensitive to changing economic conditions, and their prospects for growth are less certain than those of larger, more established companies. Historically, these securities have experienced more price volatility than larger company stocks, especially over the short term. To the extent the Fund focuses on particular countries, regions, industries, sectors or types of investment from time to time, it may be subject to greater risk of adverse developments in such areas of focus than a fund that invests in a wider variety of countries, regions, industries, sectors or investments. From time to time, the trading market for a particular security or type of security in which the Fund invests may become less liquid or even illiquid. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Performance Overview

You can find the Fund’s six-month total return in the Performance Summary. In comparison, the Fund’s narrow benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index, generated a +6.51% total return, and its broad benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s^® 500 Index (S&P 500^®), produced a +7.14% total return, for the same period.²

Economic and Market Overview

The U.S. economy showed some signs of recovery during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, despite a first-quarter

contraction in gross domestic product. Manufacturing activity expanded, and the unemployment rate declined to 6.1% in June 2014 from 6.7% in December 2013.³ Except for a sharp increase in March, retail sales rose at a modest pace that missed consensus expectations. The housing market had some weather-related weakness early in 2014, but home sales picked up in the spring and home prices were higher than a year ago.

The Federal Reserve Board (Fed) began reducing bond purchases by $10 billion a month in January 2014, based on largely positive economic and employment data in late 2013. Although economic data in early 2014 were soft, Fed Chair Janet Yellen kept the pace of asset-purchase tapering intact while adopting a more qualitative approach to rate-hike guidance. However, the Fed pledged to keep interest rates low for a considerable time after the asset-purchase program ends, depending on inflation and employment trends. In June, the Fed lowered projections for near- and long-term economic growth even as it maintained the pace of tapering.

Investment Strategy

We use fundamental, bottom-up research to seek companies meeting our criteria of growth potential, quality and valuation. In seeking sustainable growth characteristics, we look for companies we believe can produce sustainable earnings and cash flow growth, evaluating the long-term market opportunity and competitive structure of an industry to target leaders and emerging leaders. We define quality companies as those with strong and improving competitive positions in attractive markets. We also believe important attributes of quality are experienced and talented management teams as well as financial strength reflected in the capital structure, gross and operating margins, free cash flow generation and returns on capital employed. Our valuation analysis includes a range of potential outcomes based on an assessment of multiple scenarios. In

assessing value, we consider whether security prices fully reflect the balance of the sustainable growth opportunities relative to business and financial risks.

Manager’s Discussion

Most sectors represented in the Fund’s portfolio delivered positive returns and contributed to absolute performance during the six months under review as the broad market rallied. Relative to the Russell Midcap Growth Index, key contributors to performance included stock selection in the information technology (IT) and energy sectors.

In the IT sector, off-benchmark positions in integrated circuit manufacturers NXP Semiconductors and Intersil contributed to relative returns. Netherlands-based NXP Semiconductors delivered stronger-than-expected first-quarter 2014 earnings that included double-digit revenue growth and higher margins resulting from stronger-than-seasonal product demand and solid cost reductions. The company expected an improving 2014 demand environment and remained focused on increasing margins, as well as deleveraging its balance sheet while expanding its share repurchase program. Intersil reported better-than-expected first-quarter 2014 earnings results, driven by strength in the automotive and industrial markets, stabilization in personal computer demand and execution of its restructuring initiatives. The company remained debt free and has one of the semiconductor industry’s highest dividend yields.

The energy sector performed well during the period as crude oil prices rose because of supply concerns stemming from geopolitical tensions in certain oil producing and transit regions. Among the Fund’s energy holdings, notable contributors included oil and gas exploration companies, particularly our new position in Oasis Petroleum and off-benchmark investment in Diamondback Energy. Oasis Petroleum’s first-quarter 2014 earnings were better than expectations, driven by higher production. The company also provided higher production guidance for the second quarter. Diamondback Energy reported solid quarterly earnings and raised its full-year 2014 production guidance. Further boosting its shares were a subsidiary’s initial public offering and market speculation that it could be an acquisition target of Spanish multinational oil and gas company Repsol.

Notable individual contributors included positions in apparel and footwear maker Under Armour, crane and foodservice

LOGO

equipment manufacturer Manitowoc and equipment rental company United Rentals. Under Armour reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings, resulting from its customers’ increasing health consciousness and the rising popularity of sportswear for women. The company raised its full-year 2014 guidance, supported by broad-based strength in its apparel and footwear segments and solid growth in international markets. Manitowoc reported solid quarterly earnings, resulting from new product introductions, cost control measures and its foodservice division’s performance. Manitowoc’s stock price surged near period-end following news that an activist investment firm sought to break up the company, which indicated it would review the potential long-term benefits of separating its crane and foodservice businesses. United Rentals continued to deliver stronger-than-expected quarterly earnings, driven by growth in equipment rentals and sales.

In contrast, key detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included stock selection in the consumer staples, consumer discretionary and health care sectors. In consumer staples, Whole Foods Market hurt relative results as heightened competition in the organic food market led the natural and organic foods retailer


		Semiannual Report			FSC-3

FRANKLIN SMALL-MID CAP GROWTH VIP FUND

to deliver disappointing fiscal second-quarter revenues and earnings and lower its fiscal year 2014 guidance.

Among the Fund’s consumer discretionary holdings, our off-benchmark investment in Wolverine World Wide, a designer and manufacturer of branded footwear, apparel and accessories, and positions in Dick’s Sporting Goods, a sports and fitness retailer, and GNC Holdings, a specialty retailer of health and wellness products, hurt relative results. Wolverine World Wide’s share price declined earlier in the period after the company provided lower-than-expected preliminary fiscal-year 2013 revenue results. The company subsequently provided weaker-than-expected fiscal-year 2014 guidance as it expected international efforts for newly acquired brands to begin showing results in the latter half of the year. Dick’s Sporting Goods’ share price fell after the company reported disappointing first-quarter 2014 earnings results and lowered its fiscal year 2014 guidance amid weakness in its golf and hunting businesses. Similarly, GNC Holdings’ shares suffered from the company’s weaker-than-expected first-quarter 2014 earnings results and lower full-year 2014 guidance, as domestic sales were negatively affected by severe winter weather in January and February.

In the health care sector, our off-benchmark investment in Celldex Therapeutics hindered relative performance as the company’s share price corrected after the biopharmaceutical firm delivered triple-digit returns in 2013. Also pressuring the stock was Celldex’s larger-than-expected loss in the first quarter of 2014, resulting from lower royalty revenues and higher research and development expenses.

Key individual detractors included our off-benchmark investment in satellite imagery service provider DigitalGlobe and position in asset management company Affiliated Managers Group. DigitalGlobe’s share price declined after the company delivered weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter 2013 revenues and fiscal year 2014 revenue outlook. News that Google would acquire a competitor also weighed on the stock. After ending 2013 at an all-time high, Affiliated Managers Group’s share price corrected during the first half of the period, although the company reported stronger-than-expected fiscal year 2013 earnings. Its shares recovered most of the early losses after the company reported better-than-expected first-quarter 2014 earnings results and announced a major international acquisition. Further boosting investor sentiment was the company’s addition to the S&P 500 at period-end.

Class 1 Fund Expenses

•

Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes.

•

Actual Fund 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 × $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


Class 1	Beginning Account Value 1/1/14		Ending Account Value 6/30/14		Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period* 1/1/14–6/30/14
Actual		$1,000		$1,055.30		$4.08
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		$1,000		$1,020.83		$4.01

*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio, net of expense waivers, for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (0.80%), 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 181/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company, consisting of twenty separate funds and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Franklin Small-Mid Cap Growth VIP Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are generally sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts. At June 30, 2014, 43.70% of the Fund’s shares were held through one insurance company. Investment activities of these insurance company separate accounts could have a material impact on the Fund. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Class 1, Class 2, and Class 4. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Franklin Small-Mid Cap Growth Securities Fund was renamed the Franklin Small-Mid Cap Growth VIP Fund.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

Equity securities listed on an 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. Foreign equity securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded or as of the NYSE close, whichever is earlier. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the NYSE close on the day that the value of the security is determined. Over-the-counter (OTC) securities 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. Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships to similar securities. Investments in open-end mutual funds and non-registered money market funds are valued at the closing net asset value.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

a. Financial Instrument Valuation (continued)

Fund. As a result, differences may arise between the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities as determined at the foreign market close and the latest indications of value at the close of the NYSE. In order to minimize the potential for these differences, the VLOC 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 Depositary 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 that may call into question the reliability of the values of the foreign securities held by the Fund. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services.

b. Foreign Currency Translation

c. Securities Lending

The Fund participates in an agency based securities lending program. The Fund receives cash collateral against the loaned securities in an amount equal to at least 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities. Collateral is maintained over the life of the loan in an amount not less than 100% of the fair value of loaned securities, as determined at the close of fund business each day; any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The collateral is invested in a non-registered money fund as indicated on the Statement of Investments. The Fund receives income from the investment of cash collateral, in addition to lending fees and rebates paid by the borrower. The Fund bears the market risk with respect to the collateral investment, securities loaned, and the risk that the agent may default on its obligations to the Fund. The securities lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Fund in the event of default by a third party borrower.

d. Income and Deferred Taxes

The Fund may be subject to foreign taxation related to income received, capital gains on the sale of securities and certain for-

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Franklin Small-Mid Cap Growth VIP Fund (continued)

eign currency transactions in the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. When a capital gain tax is determined to apply the Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

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. 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.

		Semiannual Report			FSI-1

FRANKLIN STRATEGIC INCOME VIP FUND

Fund Goals and Main Investments: Franklin Strategic Income VIP Fund seeks a high level of current income, with capital appreciation over the long term as a secondary goal. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily to predominantly in U.S. and foreign debt securities, including those in emerging markets.

Fund Risks: All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. 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. Changes in the financial strength of a bond issuer or in a bond’s credit rating may affect its value. High yields reflect the higher credit risks associated with certain lower rated securities held in the portfolio. Floating rate loans and high yield corporate bonds are rated below investment grade and are subject to greater risk of default, which could result in loss of principal — a risk that may be heightened in a slowing economy. The risks of foreign securities include currency fluctuations and political uncertainty. Investments in developing markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors, in addition to those associated with their relatively small size and lesser liquidity. Investing in derivative securities and the use of foreign currency techniques involve special risks as such may not achieve the anticipated benefits and/or may result in losses to the Fund. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Performance Overview

You can find the Fund’s six-month total return in the Performance Summary. For comparison, the Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, delivered a +3.93% total return for the period under review.¹ The Fund’s peers, as measured by the Lipper Multi-Sector Income Funds Classification Average, produced a +4.66% return.²

Economic and Market Overview

The U.S. economy continued to show signs of recovery during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014. Economic activity increased toward period-end after severe weather conditions and

a slowdown in health care spending led to a contraction in the first quarter of 2014. Manufacturing activity expanded during the period under review, despite a slowdown in January. Except for a sharp rebound in March, retail sales rose at a modest pace that missed consensus expectations. The housing market had some weather-related weakness early in 2014, but home sales picked up in the spring and home prices were higher than a year ago. The unemployment rate declined to 6.1% in June 2014 from 6.7% in December 2013.³ Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, picked up toward the end of the period.

The Federal Reserve Board (Fed) began reducing bond purchases by $10 billion a month in January 2014, based on earlier largely positive economic and employment data. Although economic data in early 2014 were soft, Fed Chair Janet Yellen kept the pace of asset-purchase tapering intact in the March meeting while adopting a more qualitative approach to rate-hike guidance. In June, the Fed lowered projections for near- and long-term economic growth even as it maintained the pace of tapering and remained committed to keeping interest rates low for a considerable amount of time after the asset-purchase program ends.

The 10-year Treasury yield declined from 3.04% at the beginning of the period to 2.53% on June 30, 2014, given subdued economic data, the crises in Ukraine and Iraq, growth concerns about emerging markets and lower Treasury issuance.

Outside the U.S., the recovery was mixed during the period under review. The recovery in emerging markets moderated from fairly strong levels. Although some developed economies, such as those of Australia and some Scandinavian countries, also enjoyed relatively strong recoveries, the eurozone and Japan continued to experience growth that was slow by the standards of previous recoveries. As fears eased surrounding the issues of European sovereign debt, the possibility of another U.S. recession and a potential Chinese “hard landing,” financial market performance was positive. Improving sentiment, relatively strong fundamentals and continued provision of global liquidity supported risk assets as equity markets performed well. Policymakers in the largest developed economies adjusted their unprecedented efforts to supply liquidity. The European Central Bank took the unusual step of charging banks to hold

their deposits. Actions elsewhere in the world were mixed, with

some policymakers less willing to reverse previous tightening efforts in response to the external environment. During the period, investors became concerned with geopolitical issues surrounding rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

Investment Strategy

We allocate our investments among the various types of debt available based on our assessment of changing economic, global market, industry and issuer conditions. We use a top-down analysis of macroeconomic trends, combined with a bottom-up fundamental analysis of market sectors, industries and issuers, seeking to take advantage of varying sector reactions to economic events. For example, we may evaluate business cycles, yield curves, country risk, and the relative interest rates among currencies, and values between and within markets. In selecting debt securities, we generally conduct our own analysis of the security’s intrinsic value rather than simply relying on the coupon rate or rating. We may also enter into various transactions involving certain currency-, interest rate- or credit-related derivative instruments for hedging purposes, to enhance returns or to obtain exposure to various market sectors.

Manager’s Discussion

In somewhat of a reversal of the trend set during 2013, during the first half of 2014, longer term U.S. interest rates declined because of weaker first-quarter economic growth, supported by expectations for the Fed to remain on hold with its target short-term rate well into 2015. Even with the prospect for the Fed to discontinue purchases of government securities as part of its quantitative easing program by the end of 2014, the 10-year Treasury yield fell from 3.04% to 2.53% by period-end. Notwithstanding geopolitical flare-ups with Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, equity markets continued to post gains during the period, with the Standard & Poor’s^® 500 Index gaining 7.14%, supported by corporate earnings and an improving U.S. economic growth outlook for the balance of the year.¹

The Fund posted a positive total return for the review period, performing in line with the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, while slightly trailing the Lipper Multi-Sector peer average. Given the decline in longer term rates during the period, longer duration U.S. fixed income securities performed well. Additionally, some compression in the spread sectors, including for corporate credit, supported the corporate sectors of the fixed

income market. Relative to the Fund’s benchmarks, exposure to high yield and longer duration municipal securities added to performance, while the Fund’s generally shorter duration positioning detracted from relative returns.


		Semiannual Report			FSI-3

FRANKLIN STRATEGIC INCOME VIP FUND

Within the corporate credit sector, fundamentals remained broadly supportive, with below-average default and distress rates, access to low-cost debt refinancing, rising equity markets and generally growing corporate earnings. However, as is typical several years into an economic recovery, many corporations have begun to focus their activities on more shareholder friendly actions, such as stock buybacks, dividends, and mergers and acquisitions. Also, the quality, structure and covenant protection of certain new corporate bond and leveraged loan new issues have also declined. Nonetheless, although spread valuations for the corporate credit markets have narrowed since the financial crisis, given a constructive fundamental backdrop, we still see value in these sectors. In addition, high yield corporates and leveraged loans have tended to be less sensitive to rate changes than traditional fixed income sectors, which may allow those sectors to be more defensive investments if U.S. rates were to increase in the future. However, given the total return outperformance for high yield bonds since mid-2013, we began to pare high yield weightings in favor of leveraged loans. Relative to high yield and loans, the Fund held a lesser weighting to investment grade corporates, given greater sensitivity to interest rates and current yield spread valuations.

Looking outside the U.S., although the broad trade-weighted U.S. dollar ended the period relatively flat for the first half of 2014, performance varied broadly by country and currency. In terms of the Fund’s positioning, exposures to the Brazilian real, South Korean won, Malaysian ringgit and Indian rupee added to returns. On the other hand, exposures to the Chilean peso and Uruguayan peso detracted as those currencies declined during the period. In addition, the Fund’s long exposure in the Hungarian forint and Swedish krona negatively impacted returns, as those currencies declined more than the euro (which the Fund had sold against them in a proxy hedge using currency forward contracts). The Fund’s short position in the Japanese yen, achieved through currency forward contracts, also constrained performance as that currency appreciated partly due to lower U.S. interest rate expectations. The Fund maintained a fairly modest exposure to hard currency emerging market bonds considering current valuations.

The portfolio utilized derivatives, including currency forwards and credit derivatives. Currency forwards are typically used to take long and short positions in currencies and as a tool to hedge currency risk. Credit derivatives can be used to hedge against credit risk or to otherwise enhance Fund returns by taking long or short positions in individual credits or baskets of

credits in various sectors including in the corporate, municipal, sovereign and securitized markets.

What is a currency forward contract?

A currency forward contract, also called a “currency forward,” is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specific exchange rate on a future date.

What is a credit derivative?

With the decline in U.S. intermediate and longer term rates, the more rate-sensitive fixed income sectors (Treasuries, agencies and mortgage-backed securities) generally posted positive returns during the period. The Fund maintained a lower exposure to these sectors relative to our corporate and global positionings, preferring what we deemed as higher income opportunities in those spread and currency sectors.

The combination of lower U.S. rates and some inflows into dedicated municipal bond funds helped support performance in this sector. However, although Puerto Rico was able to issue bonds earlier in the period, by period-end the prospect that Puerto Rico might try to actively restructure certain of its quasi-government debt obligations pushed bond prices lower, including those held by the Fund from that commonwealth.

Class 1 Fund Expenses

•

Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes.

•

Actual Fund 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 × $7.50 = $64.50.

In this illustration, the estimated expenses incurred this period at the Fund level are $64.50.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Franklin Strategic Income VIP 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 management investment company, consisting of twenty separate funds and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Franklin Strategic Income VIP Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are generally sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts. At June 30, 2014, 81.26% of the Fund’s shares were held through one insurance company. Investment activities of these insurance company separate accounts could have a material impact on the Fund. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Class 1, Class 2, and Class 4. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Franklin Strategic Income Securities Fund was renamed the Franklin Strategic Income VIP Fund.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

Equity securities listed on an 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. Foreign equity securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded or as of the NYSE close, whichever is earlier. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the NYSE close on the day that the value of the security is determined. Over-the-counter (OTC) securities 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. Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships to similar securities. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value.

The Fund has procedures to determine the fair value of financial instruments for which market prices are not reliable or readily available. Under these procedures, the VLOC convenes on a

a. Financial Instrument Valuation (continued)

b. Foreign Currency Translation

c. Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis

The Fund purchases securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and


FSI-36		Semiannual Report

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Franklin Strategic Income VIP Fund (continued)

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. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Fund entered into credit default swap contracts primarily to manage exposure to credit risk. A credit default swap is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty whereby the buyer of the contract receives credit protection and the seller of the contract guarantees the credit worthiness of a referenced debt obligation. These agreements may be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (“OTC credit default swaps”) or may be executed in a multilateral trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange (“centrally cleared credit default swaps”). The underlying referenced debt obligation may be a single issuer of corporate or sovereign debt, a credit index, or a tranche of a credit index. In the event of a default of the underlying referenced debt obligation, the buyer is entitled to receive the notional amount of the credit default swap contract from the seller in exchange for the referenced debt obligation, a net settlement amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swap less the recovery value of the referenced debt obligation, or other agreed upon amount. For centrally cleared credit default swaps, required initial margins are pledged by the Fund, and the daily change in fair value is accounted for as a variation margin payable or receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Over the term of the contract, the buyer pays the seller a periodic stream of payments, provided that no event of default has occurred. Such periodic payments are accrued daily

d. Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)

as an unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the payments are made, at which time they are realized. Payments received or paid to initiate a credit default swap contract are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represent compensating factors between stated terms of the credit default swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are amortized over the term of the contract as a realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations.

See Note 9 regarding other derivative information.

e. Restricted Cash

At June 30, 2014, the Fund received restricted cash in connection with investments in certain derivative securities. Restricted cash is held in a segregated account with the Fund’s custodian and is reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

f. Loan Participation Notes

The Fund invests in loan participation notes (“Participations”). Participations are loans originally issued to a borrower by one or more financial institutions (the “Lender”) and subsequently sold to other investors, such as the Fund. Participations typically result in the Fund having a contractual relationship only with the Lender and not with the borrower. The Fund has the right to receive from the Lender any payments of principal, interest and fees which the Lender received from the borrower. The Fund generally has no rights to either enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement or to any collateral relating to the original loan. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the Lender that is selling the Participation. The Participations may also involve interest rate risk and liquidity risk, including the potential default or insolvency of the borrower and/or the Lender.

g. FT Holdings Corporation III (FT Subsidiary)

The Fund invests in certain financial instruments through its investment in the FT Subsidiary. The FT Subsidiary is a Delaware Corporation, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund, and is able to invest in certain financial instruments consistent with the investment objective of the Fund. At June 30, 2014, the FT Subsidiary’s investment, Turtle Bay Resort, as well as any

other assets and liabilities of the FT Subsidiary are reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The financial statements have been consolidated and include the accounts of the Fund and the FT Subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

h. Mortgage Dollar Rolls

The Fund enters into mortgage dollar rolls, typically on a to-be-announced basis. Mortgage dollar rolls are agreements between the Fund and a financial institution to simultaneously sell and repurchase mortgage-backed securities at a future date. Gains or losses are realized on the initial sale, and the difference between the repurchase price and the sale price is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss to the Fund upon entering into the mortgage dollar roll. In addition, the Fund may invest the cash proceeds that are received from the initial sale. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Fund is not entitled to principal and interest paid on the mortgage backed securities. The risks of mortgage dollar roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations.

i. Senior Floating Rate Interests

j. Income and Deferred Taxes

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Franklin Strategic Income VIP Fund (continued)

tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests. When a capital gain tax is determined to apply the Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

k. 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. Facility fees are recognized as income over the expected term of the loan. Dividend income is recorded on 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.

Inflation-indexed bonds are adjusted for inflation through periodic increases or decreases in the security’s interest accruals, face amount, or principal redemption value, by amounts corresponding to the rate of inflation as measured by an index. Any increase or decrease in the face amount or principal redemption value will be included as interest income on the Statement of Operations.

6. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investments (excluding short term securities) for the period ended June 30, 2014, aggregated $217,446,022 and $248,015,193, respectively.

7. Credit Risk and Defaulted Securities

At June 30, 2014, the Fund had 53.75% of its portfolio invested in high yield, senior secured floating rate notes, or other securities rated below investment grade. These securities may be more sensitive to economic conditions causing greater price volatility and are potentially subject to a greater risk of loss due to default than higher rated securities.

The Fund held defaulted securities and/or other securities for which the income has been deemed uncollectible. At June 30, 2014, the aggregate value of these securities was $2,768,125, representing 0.28% of the Fund’s net assets. The Fund discontinues accruing income on securities for which income has been deemed uncollectible and provides an estimate for losses on interest receivable. The securities have been identified on the accompanying Statement of Investments.

8. Unfunded Loan Commitments

The Fund enters into certain credit agreements, all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these loan commitments at the borrowers’ discretion. Funded portions of credit agreements are presented on the Statement of Investments.

At June 30, 2014, unfunded commitments were as follows:


Borrower		Unfunded Commitment

Franklin U.S. Government Securities VIP Fund

(Formerly, Franklin U.S. Government Fund)

This semiannual report for Franklin U.S. Government Securities VIP Fund covers the period ended June 30, 2014.

Class 1 Performance Summary as of June 30, 2014

Franklin U.S. Government Securities VIP Fund – Class 1 delivered a +2.52% total return for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.


		Semiannual Report			FUS-1

FRANKLIN U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES VIP FUND

Fund Goal and Main Investments: Franklin U.S. Government Securities VIP Fund seeks income. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. government securities.

Fund Risks: All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. The Fund’s share price and yield will be affected by interest rate movements and mortgage prepayments. 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. Changes in the financial strength of a bond issuer or in a bond’s credit rating may affect its value. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Performance Overview

You can find the Fund’s six-month total return in the Performance Summary. In comparison, the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Government Index: Intermediate Component, delivered a +1.55% total return.¹ The Fund’s secondary benchmark, the Lipper VIP General U.S. Government Funds Classification Average, produced a +3.95% total return.² Funds in the Lipper average may allocate as much as 35% of their investments in asset types other than U.S. government and agency mortgage-backed securities.

Economic and Market Overview

The U.S. economy continued to show signs of recovery during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014. Economic activity increased toward period-end after severe weather conditions and a slowdown in health care spending led to a contraction in the first quarter of 2014. Manufacturing activity expanded during the period under review, despite a slowdown in January. Except for a sharp rebound in March, retail sales rose at a modest pace that missed consensus expectations. The housing market had some weather-related weakness early in 2014, but home sales picked up in the spring and home prices were higher than a year ago. The unemployment rate declined to 6.1% in June 2014 from 6.7% in December 2013.³ Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, picked up toward the end of the period.

The Federal Reserve Board (Fed) began reducing bond purchases by $10 billion a month in January 2014, based on earlier largely positive economic and employment data. Although economic data in early 2014 were soft, Fed Chair Janet Yellen kept the pace of asset-purchase tapering intact in the March meeting while adopting a more qualitative approach to rate-hike guidance. In June, the Fed lowered projections for near- and long-term economic growth even as it maintained the pace of tapering and remained committed to keeping interest rates low for a considerable amount of time after the asset-purchase program ends.

Investment Strategy

Using our straightforward investment approach, we seek to produce current income with a high degree of credit safety from a conservatively managed portfolio of U.S. government securities. Analyzing securities using proprietary and nonproprietary research, we seek to identify attractive investment opportunities.

FRANKLIN U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES VIP FUND

Manager’s Discussion

Mortgages outpaced Treasuries during the period as the agency mortgage market has benefited from continued, low interest rates since the beginning of the year. We feel that if the U.S. economy continues to strengthen in line with the Fed’s expectations, the Fed could terminate its purchases of mortgage-backed securities (MBS) later in the year. In our view, agency mortgages were fully valued. Questions still remained, however, about the demand source for agency MBS after the Fed ends its buying program. We felt demand from banks, mortgage real estate investment trusts, overseas investors and domestic money managers would need to rise to compensate for the Fed’s reduced presence in the MBS sector once the Fed ends its stimulus measures. Despite the low interest rate and mortgage rate environment over the period, mortgage credit issuance continued to be constrained and actual prepayment levels remained contained.

Within the agency mortgage pass-through sector, Freddie Mac MBS outperformed their Fannie Mae MBS and Ginnie Mae (GNMA) MBS counterparts. Within GNMAs, lower coupon 3.0% securities were the best performers from an excess return perspective, while higher coupon 5.0% securities underperformed.

The Fund’s investment process and strategy did not change and the team continued to look for strong cash-flow fundamentals and valuations to uncover opportunities across the agency mortgage and agency debenture universe. The Fund emphasized agency pass-throughs, primarily GNMA MBS, which remain the only MBS backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, and invested in other agency securities for diversification.⁴ We remained more heavily allocated to the GNMA sector and added to lower coupon 3.5% and 4.0% GNMA IIs (pools of mortgages from multiple issuers). We decreased our allocation to 5.0% coupons. Our heaviest allocation remained in 3.5% and 4.5% coupons. The Fund’s overweighted allocation to higher coupon 5.5% securities benefited performance, while our underweighted allocation to 3.0% coupons detracted from results.

Thank you for your participation in Franklin U.S. Government Securities VIP Fund. We look forward to serving your future investment needs.

4. Securities owned by the Fund, but not shares of the Fund, are guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities as to timely payment of principal and interest. The Fund’s yield and share price are not guaranteed and will vary with market conditions.

Class 1 Fund Expenses

•

Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes.

•

Actual Fund 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 × $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


Class 1	Beginning Account Value 1/1/14		Ending Account Value 6/30/14		Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period* 1/1/14–6/30/14
Actual		$1,000		$1,025.20		$2.46
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		$1,000		$1,022.36		$2.46

*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (0.49%), 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 181/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

SUPPLEMENT DATED AUGUST 4, 2014

TO THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DATED MAY 1, 2014

FRANKLIN U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES VIP FUND

(Series of Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust)

The Statement of Additional Information is amended as follows:

I. In the section entitled “Glossary of Investments, Techniques, Strategies and Their Risks – Borrowing-Segregation of Assets,” on page 15, the first paragraph is revised as follows:

Segregation of assets. Consistent with SEC staff guidance, financial instruments that involve the Fund’s obligation to make future payments to third parties will not be viewed as creating any senior security provided that the Fund covers its obligations as described below. Those financial instruments can include, among others, (i) securities purchased or sold on a when-issued, delayed delivery, or to-be-announced basis, (ii) futures contracts, (iii) forward currency contracts, (iv) swaps, (v) written options, (vi) unfunded commitments, (vii) securities sold short, and (viii) reverse repurchase agreements. Consistent with SEC staff guidance, the Fund will consider its obligations involving such a financial instrument as “covered” when the Fund (1) maintains an offsetting financial position, or (2) segregates liquid assets (constituting cash, cash equivalents or other liquid portfolio securities) equal to the Fund’s exposures relating to the financial instrument, as determined on a daily basis. Dedicated Fund compliance policies and procedures, which the Fund’s board has approved, govern the kinds of transactions that can be deemed to be offsetting positions for purposes of (1) above, and the amounts of assets that need to be segregated for purposes of (2) above (Asset Segregation Policies). In the case of forward currency contracts, the Fund may offset the contracts for purposes of (1) above when the counterparties, terms and amounts match; otherwise an appropriate amount of assets will be segregated consistent with (2) above. Segregated assets for purposes of (2) above are not required to be physically segregated from other Fund assets, but are segregated through appropriate notation on the books of the Fund or the Fund’s custodian.

II. In the section entitled “Glossary of Investments, Techniques, Strategies and Their Risks – Mortgage-backed securities – Overview,” on page 46, the third paragraph is revised as follows:

Mortgage-backed securities are based on different types of mortgages, including those on commercial real estate or residential properties. The primary issuers or guarantors of mortgage-backed securities have historically been the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA, or “Ginnie Mae”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA, or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC, or “Freddie Mac”). Other issuers of mortgage-backed securities include commercial banks and other private lenders. Trading in mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by a governmental agency, instrumentality or sponsored enterprise may frequently take place in the to-be-announced (TBA) forward market. See “When-issued, delayed delivery and to-be-announced transactions” below.

III. In the section entitled “Glossary of Investments, Techniques, Strategies and Their Risks – Mortgage-backed securities – Guarantees,” on page 47 is revised as follows:

Guarantees. The existence of a guarantee or other form of credit support on a mortgage-backed security usually increases the price that the Fund pays or receives for the security.


					FUS-5

There is always the risk that the guarantor will default on its obligations. When the guarantor is the U.S. government, there is minimal risk of guarantor default. However, the risk remains if the credit support or guarantee is provided by a private party or a U.S. government agency or sponsored enterprise. Even if the guarantor meets its obligations, there can be no assurance that the type of guarantee or credit support provided will be effective at reducing losses or delays to investors, given the nature of the default. A guarantee only assures timely payment of interest and principal, not a particular rate of return on the Fund’s investment or protection against prepayment or other risks. The market price and yield of the mortgage-backed security at any given time are not guaranteed and likely to fluctuate.

IV. In the section entitled “Glossary of Investments, Techniques, Strategies and Their Risks – When-issued, delayed delivery and to-be-announced transactions,” beginning on page 57, the first, second and fourth paragraph is revised as follows:

When-issued, delayed delivery and to-be-announced (TBA) transactions are arrangements under which the parties agree on the sale of securities with payment for and delivery of the security scheduled for a future time. The securities may have been authorized but not yet issued, or, in the TBA market for U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities, the parties agree on a price, volume, and basic characteristics of securities to be delivered on the settlement date, rather than particular securities. In addition to buying securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or TBA basis, the Fund may also sell these securities on a TBA basis to close out an existing TBA position before the settlement date, to take advantage of an expected decline in value of the securities, or for hedging purposes.

Entering into a when-issued, delayed delivery or TBA transaction may be viewed as a form of leverage and will result in associated risks for the Fund. To mitigate these risks, when the Fund enters into this type of transaction, it will segregate liquid assets as set forth in “Segregation of assets” under “Borrowing.” However, the Fund does not consider the purchase and/or sale of securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or TBA basis to be a borrowing for purposes of the Fund’s fundamental restrictions or other limitations on borrowing.

The Fund also relies on the counterparty to complete the transaction. The counterparty’s failure to do so may cause the Fund to miss a price or yield considered advantageous to the Fund. Although their price typically reflects accrued interest, securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis do not generally earn interest until their scheduled delivery date. Purchases or sales of debt securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are also subject to the risk that the market value or the yield at delivery may be more or less than the market price or yield available when the transaction was entered into, or that the Fund is unable to purchase securities for delivery at the settlement date with the characteristics agreed upon at the time of the transaction.

Please keep this supplement with your statement of additional information for future reference.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Franklin U.S. Government Securities VIP 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 management investment company, consisting of twenty separate funds and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Franklin U.S. Government Securities VIP Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are generally sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts. At June 30, 2014, 43.65% of the Fund’s shares were held through one insurance company. Investment activities of these insurance company separate accounts could have a material impact on the Fund. 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.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Franklin U.S. Government Fund was renamed the Franklin U.S. Government Securities VIP Fund.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

Debt securities generally trade in the over-the-counter market rather than on a securities exchange. The Fund’s pricing

services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, estimated default rates, anticipated market interest rate volatility, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

b. Joint Repurchase Agreement


	FUS-16			Semiannual Report

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Franklin U.S. Government Securities VIP Fund (continued)

securities which are delivered to the Fund’s custodian. The fair 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%. Repurchase agreements are subject to the terms of Master Repurchase Agreements (MRAs) with approved counterparties (sellers). The MRAs contain various provisions, including but not limited to events of default and maintenance of collateral for repurchase agreements. In the event of default by either the seller or the Fund, certain MRAs may permit the non-defaulting party to net and close-out all transactions, if any, traded under such agreements. The Fund may sell securities it holds as collateral and apply the proceeds towards the repurchase price and any other amounts owed by the seller to the Fund in the event of default by the seller. This could involve costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value falls below the repurchase price owed by the seller. The joint repurchase agreement held by the Fund at period end, as indicated in the Statement of Investments, had been entered into on June 30, 2014.

c. Mortgage Dollar Rolls

The Fund enters into mortgage dollar rolls, typically on a TBA basis. Mortgage dollar rolls are agreements between the Fund and a financial institution to simultaneously sell and repurchase mortgage-backed securities at a future date. Gains or losses are realized on the initial sale, and the difference between the repurchase price and the sale price is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss to the Fund upon entering into the mortgage dollar roll. In addition, the Fund may invest the cash proceeds that are received from the initial sale. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Fund is not entitled to principal and interest paid on the mortgage backed securities. The risks of mortgage dollar roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations.

d. Income Taxes

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained

upon examination by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the tax position. As of June 30, 2014, and for all open tax years, the Fund has determined that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits is required in the Fund’s financial statements related to uncertain tax positions taken on a tax return (or expected to be taken on future tax returns). Open tax years are those that remain subject to examination and are based on each tax jurisdiction statute of limitation.

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. Paydown gains and losses are recorded separately on the Statement of Operations. 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.

8. Fair Value Measurements

•

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments

•

(Formerly, Templeton Developing Markets Securities Fund)

This semiannual report for Templeton Developing Markets VIP Fund covers the period ended June 30, 2014.

Class 1 Performance Summary as of June 30, 2014

Templeton Developing Markets VIP Fund – Class 1 delivered a +0.93% total return* for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.


		Semiannual Report			TD-1

TEMPLETON DEVELOPING MARKETS VIP FUND

Fund Goal and Main Investments: Templeton Developing Markets VIP Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in emerging market investments.

Fund Risks: All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Special risks are associated with foreign investing, including currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments. Investments in developing markets, of which frontier markets are a subset, involve heightened risks related to the same factors, in addition to those associated with these markets’ smaller size, lesser liquidity and lack of established legal, political, business and social frameworks to support securities markets. Because these frameworks are typically even less developed in frontier markets, as well as various factors including the increased potential for extreme price volatility, illiquidity, trade barriers and exchange controls, the risks associated with developing markets are magnified in frontier markets. The Fund is designed for the aggressive portion of a well-diversified portfolio. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Performance Overview

You can find the Fund’s six-month total return in the Performance Summary. In comparison, the MSCI Emerging Markets (EM) Index generated a +6.32% total return, and the Standard & Poor’s^®/International Finance Corporation Investable Composite Index produced a +6.82% total return for the same period.¹ Please note index performance numbers are for reference and we do not attempt to track an index but rather undertake investments on the basis of fundamental research.

Economic and Market Overview

The six months under review were characterized by growth in emerging markets and a continued recovery in developed markets. Although several emerging market countries faced headwinds such as soft domestic demand, weak exports and political crises, emerging market economies overall continued to grow faster than developed market economies. After moderating in the first quarter, China’s economic growth stabilized in the second quarter as the government’s stimulus measures gained

traction. Retail sales continued to grow as household income increased. Domestic demand accounted for a greater portion of gross domestic product, indicating stable progress in policymakers’ efforts to make China’s economy more consumer driven. Other economies that showed signs of moderation included those of Russia, Brazil and Turkey, while several economies, including those of Qatar, Taiwan and Poland, showed signs of improvement.

After a weak start to the year, emerging market stocks advanced in the second half of the period, supported by better U.S. economic data, the European Central Bank’s further monetary easing, an apparent cooling of tensions between Russia and Ukraine, and China’s improving manufacturing sector. Certain emerging markets such as India and Indonesia were buoyed by investors’ expectations for economic reforms after elections. Several emerging market central banks, including those of Brazil, India, South Africa and Russia, raised interest rates in response to rising inflation and weakening currencies, while several central banks, including those of Chile, Mexico, Romania and Thailand, lowered interest rates to promote economic growth. After raising interest rates early in the year to support the Turkish lira, Turkey’s central bank began easing monetary policy toward period-end to boost economic growth. The

People’s Bank of China (PBOC) tightened liquidity by curbing lending by banks and non-bank institutions. However, near period-end the PBOC reduced the cash reserve requirement ratio for banks serving rural borrowers and smaller companies to stimulate lending in targeted sectors and support economic expansion.

Emerging market stocks rose during the six months under review, as many investors were encouraged by generally positive global economic data and seemed to focus on the relatively attractive valuations of many emerging market stocks. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, emerging market stocks, as measured by the MSCI EM Index, generated a +6.32% total return in U.S. dollar terms, aided by strength in several emerging market currencies.¹ Latin America outperformed as Colombia, Peru and Brazil generated strong returns. Asia performed well, with Indonesia, India, the Philippines and Thailand producing robust returns. European emerging markets underperformed their peers, as losses in Russia and Hungary partly offset gains in Turkey, the Czech Republic and Greece.

Investment Strategy

We employ a fundamental research, value-oriented, long-term investment approach. We focus on the market price of a company’s securities relative to our evaluation of its long-term earnings, asset value and cash flow potential. We also consider a company’s profit and loss outlook, balance sheet strength, cash flow trends and asset value in relation to the current price. Our analysis considers the company’s corporate governance behavior as well as its position in its sector, the economic framework and political environment. We invest in securities without regard to benchmark comparisons.

Manager’s Discussion

During the six months under review, key contributors to the Fund’s absolute performance included Emaar Properties, a leading property developer and manager with operations throughout the Middle East, notably in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE); Brilliance China Automotive Holdings, one of China’s major automobile manufacturers; and Tata Consultancy Services, one of India’s largest information technology (IT) consulting and services companies.

Emaar Properties’ first-quarter 2014 earnings benefited from strong growth in the company’s leasing and rental income. Rising tourism in Dubai boosted Emaar’s hotel and retail operations, and, in our assessment, an ongoing property sector

recovery could potentially support future earnings growth. Investor positioning prior to the UAE’s inclusion in the MSCI EM Index in June led to strong buying of Emaar’s shares, contributing to further price increases.

Brilliance China Automotive has a joint venture with BMW for the production and sale of BMW 3-series and 5-series sedans and X1 compact sport utility vehicles in China. The company appears to us to be well positioned to fulfill China’s expanding middle class’s fast-growing demand for affordable luxury vehicles. The resilient sales growth of luxury cars in China contributed to Brilliance’s strong first-quarter sales volume, with BMW cars taking an increasing market share. Continued positive car-sales data and news of an extension to 2028 of the joint venture agreement between Brilliance and BMW also boosted Brilliance’s share price.

Tata Consultancy Services, in our view, is a well-managed and attractively valued service provider in the growing IT outsourcing industry. In addition to benefiting from the Indian equity market’s strong performance, its shares were supported by the IT outsourcing industry’s growth during the period. We believe that India has a major competitive advantage in providing outsourcing services because of the country’s available technological expertise and relatively low labor costs. Tata Consultancy’s shares made solid gains in June as the company reaffirmed its revenue and margin outlook and as earnings results from a U.S. peer suggested ongoing strength in key markets.

In contrast, key detractors from the Fund’s absolute performance included SJM Holdings, MGM China Holdings and Luk Fook Holdings (International). We closed the Fund’s positions


		Semiannual Report			TD-3

TEMPLETON DEVELOPING MARKETS VIP FUND

in these companies as we sought to invest in companies we considered to be more attractively valued within our investment universe.

Many Hong Kong-listed, Macau-based casino and entertainment companies declined in value as uncertainty about the sustainability of their robust revenue growth rates led to lower revenue estimates. Furthermore, concerns about the long-term impact of rapidly increasing hotel and casino capacity on Macau’s Cotai Strip led many investors to lock in some profits. The Fund’s positions in SJM Holdings and MGM China Holdings were among those that lost ground after strong performances in the latter part of 2013.

Luk Fook Holdings is a Hong Kong-based jewelry retailer that we considered to be an attractive route to gain exposure to Chinese consumers’ rising discretionary spending. Pressuring Luk Fook’s share price were uncertainty about China’s jewelry sales trends and some unease that instances of Hong Kong residents’ hostility toward mainland tourists might discourage them from visiting.

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 six months ended June 30, 2014, the U.S. dollar declined in value relative to many currencies in which the Fund’s investments were traded. 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 the past six months, our continued search for investments we considered to be attractively valued led us to increase the Fund’s holdings largely in Thailand, Russia, South Africa and China via China H and Red Chip shares.² We initiated investments in several markets, including Greece and Peru, and made

some purchases in other emerging market countries, including Turkey, Indonesia and Taiwan. Additionally, we made some purchases in certain developed market countries, such as Austria and Belgium, where we identified companies that have significant emerging market operations, giving them the potential to benefit from emerging market countries’ stronger personal income and consumer demand growth. In sector terms, we increased investments largely in materials, energy, IT and financials.³ Key purchases included new positions in Brilliance China Automotive Holdings; Siam Commercial Bank, one of

Thailand’s biggest banks; and Naspers, a South Africa-based multinational media group that engages in Internet, pay television and print media businesses.

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 × $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


Class 1	Beginning Account Value 1/1/14		Ending Account Value 6/30/14		Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period* 1/1/14–6/30/14
Actual		$1,000		$1,009.30		$6.83
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		$1,000		$1,018.00		$6.85

*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio, net of expense waivers, for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (1.37%), 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 181/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Templeton Developing Markets VIP 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 management investment company, consisting of twenty separate funds and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Templeton Developing Markets VIP Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are generally 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 4. Effective May 1, 2014, all Class 3 shares were converted to Class 2. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Templeton Developing Markets Securities Fund was renamed the Templeton Developing Markets VIP Fund.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

Equity securities listed on an 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. Foreign equity securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded or as of the NYSE close, whichever is earlier. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the NYSE close on the day that the value of the security is determined. Over-the-counter (OTC) securities 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. Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships to similar securities. Investments in open-end mutual funds and non-registered money market funds are valued at the closing net asset value.


TD-20		Semiannual Report

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Templeton Developing Markets VIP Fund (continued)

the reliability of the value of a portfolio security held by the Fund. As a result, differences may arise between the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities as determined at the foreign market close and the latest indications of value at the close of the NYSE. In order to minimize the potential for these differences, the VLOC 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 Depositary 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 that may call into question the reliability of the values of the foreign securities held by the Fund. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services.

b. Foreign Currency Translation

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.

c. Participatory Notes

The Fund invests in Participatory Notes (P-Notes). P-notes are promissory notes that are designed to offer a return linked to the performance of a particular underlying equity security or market. P-Notes are issued by banks or broker-dealers and allow the fund to gain exposure to common stocks in markets where direct investment is not allowed. Income received from P-Notes is recorded as dividend income in the Statement of Operations. P-Notes may contain various risks including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill their obligations under the terms of the contract. These securities may be more volatile and less liquid than other investments held by the Fund.

d. Securities Lending

The Fund participates in an agency based securities lending program. The Fund receives cash collateral against the loaned securities in an amount equal to at least 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities. Collateral is maintained over the life of the loan in an amount not less than 100% of the fair value of loaned securities, as determined at the close of fund business each day; any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The collateral is invested in a non-registered money fund as indicated on the Statement of Investments. The Fund receives income from the investment of cash collateral, in addition to lending fees and rebates paid by the borrower. The Fund bears the market risk with respect to the collateral investment, securities loaned, and the risk that the agent may default on its obligations to the Fund. The securities lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Fund in the event of default by a third party borrower.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

e. Income and Deferred Taxes

f. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis. 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.

g. Accounting Estimates

h. Redemption Fees

Redemptions and exchanges of interests in an insurance company subaccount that invested in Class 3 shares of the Fund were subject to a 1.0% short term trading fee if the interest in the subaccount had been held for less than 60 days. Such fees were retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital, allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.

(Formerly, Templeton Foreign Securities Fund)

This semiannual report for Templeton Foreign VIP Fund covers the period ended June 30, 2014.

Class 1 Performance Summary as of June 30, 2014

Templeton Foreign VIP Fund – Class 1 delivered a +3.35% total return* for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.


		Semiannual Report			TF-1

TEMPLETON FOREIGN VIP FUND

Fund Goal and Main Investments: Templeton Foreign VIP Fund seeks long-term capital growth. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in investments of issuers located outside the U.S., including those in emerging markets.

Fund Risks: All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Special risks are associated with foreign investing, including currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments; investments in emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors. In addition, smaller company stocks have historically experienced more price volatility than larger company stocks, especially over the short term. To the extent the Fund focuses on particular countries, regions, industries, sectors or types of investment from time to time, it may be subject to greater risks of adverse developments in such areas of focus than a fund that invests in a wider variety of countries, regions, industries, sectors or investments. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Performance Overview

You can find the Fund’s six-month total return in the Performance Summary. In comparison, the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index, produced a +5.14% total return for the same period.¹ Please note, index performance information is provided for reference and we do not attempt to track the index but rather undertake investments on the basis of fundamental research.

Economic and Market Overview

The global economy grew moderately during the six months under review as many developed markets continued to recover and many emerging markets recorded continued growth. Major developed market central banks reaffirmed their accommodative monetary policies in an effort to support ongoing recovery. Several emerging market central banks cut interest rates to boost economic growth, while others raised rates to control inflation and currency depreciation.

U.S. economic growth and employment trends were generally encouraging during the period, despite severe weather across many states that limited economic activity in the first quarter of

LOGO

2014. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed) began reducing bond purchases by $10 billion a month in January 2014, based on earlier largely positive economic and employment data. The Fed continued reducing asset purchases during the period.


TF-2		Semiannual Report

TEMPLETON FOREIGN VIP FUND

Stocks in developed markets advanced overall during the period amid a generally accommodative monetary policy environment, continued strength in corporate earnings and signs of an economic recovery. Global government and corporate bonds delivered solid performance as interest rates in many developed market countries remained low. Gold prices rose during the period and oil prices increased amid supply concerns related to the crises in Ukraine and Iraq. The U.S. dollar was relatively flat compared to most 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

Although the Fund’s performance lagged that of its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, the Fund had several notable contributors. An overweighting in the energy sector, especially in the oil, gas and consumable fuels industry, was a major contributor to the Fund’s relative performance.² Oil and gas producers Statoil (Norway), Suncor Energy³ (Canada) and Total (France) as well as energy equipment and services company Trican Well Service³ (Canada) each outperformed the index.

The dollar value, number of shares or principal amount, and names of all portfolio holdings are listed in the Fund’s Statement of Investments (SOI).

Statoil rallied after it reported better-than-expected first-quarter earnings because of higher gas prices resulting from a severe winter in the U.S. Investor sentiment toward oil exploration and production companies improved as crude oil prices rose following geopolitical tension in Ukraine and Iraq. Stock selection and an underweighting in the consumer discretionary sector, especially in automobiles, also aided relative results.⁴ Stock selection and an underweighting in industrials, particularly in aerospace and defense, added to relative returns.⁵ Select positions in the financials sector, including U.K. insurer Aviva and Italian bank UniCredit, aided returns.⁶ Aviva reported strong earnings in 2013, reflecting its efforts in reducing costs and selling underperforming businesses. Aviva also reported strong new business growth during the first quarter of 2014. Other individual contributors included Flextronics International³ (Singapore) and Teva Pharmaceuticals³ (Israel).

2. The energy sector comprises energy equipment and services; and oil, gas and consumable fuels in the SOI.

3. Not part of the index.

4. The consumer discretionary sector comprises auto components, automobiles, household durables, leisure products, multiline retail and specialty retail in the SOI.

5. The industrials sector comprises aerospace and defense, airlines, building products, construction and engineering, electrical equipment, industrial conglomerates, and trading companies and distributors in the SOI.

In contrast, our stock selection in the financials sector, especially in banks, detracted from Fund performance. Among the sector’s top detractors were BNP Paribas (France), South Korean banks KB Financial Group³ and Hana Financial Group,³ insurance providers AXA (France) and Aegon (the Netherlands), and capital markets company Credit Suisse Group (Switzerland). Shares of BNP declined as it was fined by U.S. regulators for evading sanctions on doing business with Cuba, Iran and Sudan. Stock selection in health care, particularly in pharmaceuticals, also weighed on results.⁷ Our stock selection in consumer staples, notably in the food and staples retailing industry, also hurt performance.⁸ In this industry, shares of food and staples retailer Tesco (U.K.) fell amid a declining market share and concerns over price wars. A lack of Fund exposure to the outperforming utilities sector also hindered performance. Elsewhere, other individual detractors included Kingboard Chemical³ (Hong Kong), and Alstom⁹ (France). Alstom lowered its earnings guidance for fiscal year 2014 because of lower demand for turnkey electricity plants and gas turbines. Toward period-end, conglomerate General Electric agreed to acquire Alstom’s energy assets.

From a geographic perspective, The Fund’s off-benchmark allocation in North America, especially in Canadian energy companies, benefited the Fund’s relative performance.

Positioning in select Asian countries such as Japan and Singapore as well as select European countries such as Norway, Germany and Italy contributed to relative returns. In contrast, stock selection in Europe detracted from Fund performance as investments in France, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the U.K. underperformed. Stock selection in Asia, particularly off-benchmark holdings in South Korean and Chinese stocks, further hampered the Fund’s performance.

Thank you for your participation in Templeton Foreign VIP Fund. We look forward to serving your future investment needs.

7. The health care sector comprises health care equipment and supplies, health care providers and services, life sciences tools and services, and pharmaceuticals in the SOI.

8. The consumer staples sector comprises beverages and food and staples retailing in the SOI.

Class 1 Fund Expenses

•

Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes.

•

Actual Fund 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 × $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


Class 1	Beginning Account Value 1/1/14		Ending Account Value 6/30/14		Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period* 1/1/14–6/30/14
Actual		$1,000		$1,033.50		$3.88
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		$1,000		$1,020.98		$3.86

*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio, net of expense waivers, for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (0.77%), 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 181/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Templeton Foreign VIP 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 management investment company, consisting of twenty separate funds and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Templeton Foreign VIP Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are generally 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 4. Effective May 1, 2014, all Class 3 shares were converted to Class 2. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Templeton Foreign Securities Fund was renamed the Templeton Foreign VIP Fund.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

Equity securities listed on an 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. Foreign

equity securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded or as of the NYSE close, whichever is earlier. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the NYSE close on the day that the value of the security is determined. Over-the-counter securities 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. Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships to similar securities. Investments in open-end mutual funds and non-registered money market funds are valued at the closing net asset value.

Trading in securities on foreign securities stock exchanges may be completed before the daily NYSE close. In addition, trading in certain foreign markets may not take place on every NYSE business day. Occasionally, events occur between the time at which trading in a foreign security is completed and the close of the NYSE that might call into question the reliability of the value of a portfolio security held by the Fund. As a result, differences may arise between the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities as determined at the foreign market close and the latest indications of value at the close of the NYSE. In order to

a. Financial Instrument Valuation (continued)

minimize the potential for these differences, the VLOC 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 Depositary 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 that may call into question the reliability of the values of the foreign securities held by the Fund. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services.

b. Foreign Currency Translation

c. Securities Lending

The Fund participates in an agency based securities lending program. The Fund receives cash collateral against the loaned securities in an amount equal to at least 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities. Collateral is maintained over the life of the loan in an amount not less than 100% of the fair value of loaned securities, as determined at the close of fund business each day; any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The collateral is invested in a non-registered money fund as indicated on the Statement of Investments. The Fund receives income from the investment of cash collateral, in addition to lending fees and rebates paid by the borrower. The Fund bears the market risk with respect to the collateral investment, securities loaned, and the risk that the agent may default on its obligations to the Fund. The securities lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Fund in the event of default by a third party borrower.

d. Income and Deferred Taxes


TF-20		Semiannual Report

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Templeton Foreign VIP Fund (continued)

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. 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.

4. Expense Offset Arrangement

5. Income Taxes

For tax purposes, capital losses may be carried over to offset future capital gains. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be fully utilized before those losses with expiration dates. At December 31, 2013, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards of $59,815,020 expiring in 2017.

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investments and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for income tax purposes were as follows:



Cost of investments		$2,074,098,065


Unrealized appreciation		$ 682,164,336

Unrealized depreciation		(63,867,616)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)		$ 618,296,720

Differences between income and/or capital gains as determined on a book basis and a tax basis are primarily due to differing treatments of foreign currency transactions and wash sales.

6. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investments (excluding short term securities) for the period ended June 30, 2014, aggregated $242,207,618 and $392,812,257, respectively.

9. Fair Value Measurements

•

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments

•

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc.)

•

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of financial instruments)

The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level.

For movements between the levels within the fair value hierarchy, the Fund has adopted a policy of recognizing the transfers as of the date of the underlying event which caused the movement.

A summary of inputs used as of June 30, 2014, in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value, is as follows:

TEMPLETON GLOBAL BOND VIP FUND

Fund Goal and Main Investments: Templeton Global Bond VIP Fund seeks high current income, consistent with preservation of capital, with capital appreciation as a secondary consideration. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds, which include debt securities of any maturity, such as bonds, notes, bills and debentures.

Fund Risks: All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time, and can reduce returns. Derivatives, including currency management strategies, involve costs and can create economic leverage in the portfolio that may result in significant volatility and cause the Fund to participate in losses (as well as enable gains) on an amount that exceeds the Fund’s initial investment. The Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits and may realize losses when a counterparty fails to perform as promised. Foreign securities involve special risks, including currency fluctuations and economic and political uncertainties. Investments in emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors, in addition to those associated with these markets’ smaller size and lesser liquidity. Investments in lower rated bonds include higher risk of default and loss of principal. Changes in interest rates will affect the value of the Fund’s portfolio and its share price and yield. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. As prices of bonds in the Fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the Fund’s share price may decline. The Fund is also nondiversified, which involves the risk of greater price fluctuation than a more diversified portfolio. Changes in the financial strength of a bond issuer or in a bond’s credit rating may affect its value. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Performance Overview

You can find the Fund’s six-month total return in the Performance Summary. For comparison, the Fund’s benchmarks, the J.P. Morgan (JPM) Global Government Bond Index (GGBI) and the Citigroup World Government Bond Index, generated +5.05% and +5.00% total returns for the same period.¹

**The Fund’s euro area investments were in Ireland and Slovenia.

***The Fund’s supranational investment was denominated in the Mexican peso.

Economic and Market Overview

The global economic recovery was mixed during the period under review. The recovery in emerging markets moderated from fairly strong levels. Although some developed economies, such as those of Australia and some Scandinavian countries, also enjoyed relatively strong recoveries, the G-3 (U.S., eurozone and Japan) continued to experience growth that was slow by the standards of previous recoveries. As fears eased surrounding the issues of European sovereign debt, the possibility of another U.S. recession and a potential Chinese “hard landing,” financial market performance was positive. Improving sentiment, relatively strong fundamentals and continued provision of global liquidity supported risk assets as equity markets performed well. Policymakers in the largest developed economies adjusted their unprecedented efforts to supply liquidity. The European Central Bank (ECB) took the unusual step of

TEMPLETON GLOBAL BOND VIP FUND

charging banks to hold their deposits. Actions elsewhere in the world were mixed, with some policymakers less willing to reverse previous tightening efforts in response to the external environment. During the period, investors became concerned with geopolitical issues surrounding rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

Reductions in stimulative government policies contributed to periods of risk aversion, when credit spreads widened and assets perceived as risky sold off, alternating with periods of heightened risk appetite, when spreads narrowed and investors again favored risk assets. Against this backdrop, extensive liquidity creation continued, in particular from the Bank of Japan’s commitment to increase inflation and the ECB’s interest rate cut. Economic data among the largest economies remained inconsistent with predictions of a severe global economic slowdown.

During the period, the Federal Reserve Board (Fed) initiated the reduction of its quantitative easing program. The Fed announced further gradual reductions to its bond buying program from $85 billion per month last year to $35 billion per month in total purchases.

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 utilize currency forward contracts.

What is a currency forward contract?

A currency forward contract is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specific exchange rate on a future date.

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. During the period under review, each of these sources of return contributed to absolute performance.

Interest Rate Strategy

As part of the Fund’s interest rate strategy, we used interest rate swaps to manage duration. At period-end, the Fund had a shorter duration position than the JPM GGBI given our assessment that there is limited scope for further global interest rate reductions from historically low levels and improving economic conditions. Although the Fund maintained a defensive approach regarding interest rates in developed and emerging markets, select duration exposures in Europe contributed to absolute performance.

What is an interest rate swap?

An interest rate swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange interest rate obligations, generally one based on an interest rate fixed to maturity while the other is based on an interest rate that changes in accordance with changes in a

designated benchmark (for example, LIBOR, prime, commercial paper or other benchmarks).

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.

Currency Strategy

As part of the Fund’s investment strategy, we used currency forward contracts to hedge or gain exposure to various currencies, which sometimes resulted in net-negative positions. Overall, our diversified currency exposure contributed to absolute performance. Among currencies, the Fund’s underweighted and net-negative exposure to the euro benefited relative results, but this effect was more than offset by its overweighted exposure to peripheral European currencies. The Japanese yen appreciated against the U.S. dollar during the period and the Fund’s net-negative and underweighted position in the yen detracted from absolute performance. Conversely, the Fund’s exposures to Asian currencies other than the yen contributed to absolute results.

Global Sovereign Debt Strategy

The Fund purchased investment-grade and subinvestment-grade hard currency-denominated sovereign debt that typically compensates for greater credit risk by offering higher yields relative to U.S. Treasury and European benchmark bonds. Overall, the Fund’s sovereign credit exposures contributed to absolute performance.

Thank you for your participation in Templeton Global Bond VIP Fund. We look forward to serving your future investment needs.

Class 1 Fund Expenses

•

Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes.

•

Actual Fund 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 × $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


Class 1	Beginning Account Value 1/1/14		Ending Account Value 6/30/14		Fund-Level Expenses Incurred During Period* 1/1/14–6/30/14
Actual		$1,000		$1,033.30		$2.57
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		$1,000		$1,022.27		$2.56

*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio for the Fund’s Class 1 shares (0.51%), 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 181/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Templeton Global Bond VIP 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 management investment company, consisting of twenty separate funds and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Templeton Global Bond VIP Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are generally 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 4. Effective May 1, 2014, all Class 3 shares were converted to Class 2. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Templeton Global Bond Securities Fund was renamed the Templeton Global Bond VIP Fund.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

The Fund’s investments in financial instruments are carried at fair value daily. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Fund calculates the net asset value per share at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), generally at 4 p.m. Eastern time (NYSE close) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. Under compliance policies and procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Fund’s administrator has responsibility for oversight of valuation, including leading the cross-functional Valuation and Liquidity Oversight Committee (VLOC). The VLOC provides administration and oversight of the Fund’s valuation policies and procedures, which are approved annually by the Board. Among other things, these procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.

Debt securities generally trade in the over-the-counter (OTC) market rather than on a securities exchange. The Fund’s pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the

pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, estimated default rates, anticipated market interest rate volatility, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value. Securities denominated in a foreign currency are converted into their U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the NYSE close on the date that the values of the foreign debt securities are determined. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

Derivative financial instruments (derivatives) listed on an exchange are valued at the official closing price of the day. Certain derivatives trade in the OTC market. The Fund’s pricing services use various techniques including industry standard option pricing models and proprietary discounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of those instruments. The Fund’s net benefit or obligation under the derivative contract, as measured by the fair value of the contract, is included in net assets.

c. Joint Repurchase Agreement

the funds, with the value of the underlying securities marked to market daily to maintain coverage of at least 100%. Repurchase agreements are subject to the terms of Master Repurchase Agreements (MRAs) with approved counterparties (sellers). The MRAs contain various provisions, including but not limited to events of default and maintenance of collateral for repurchase agreements. In the event of default by either the seller or the Fund, certain MRAs may permit the non-defaulting party to net and close-out all transactions, if any, traded under such agreements. The Fund may sell securities it holds as collateral and apply the proceeds towards the repurchase price and any other amounts owed by the seller to the Fund in the event of default by the seller. This could involve costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value falls below the repurchase price owed by the seller. The joint repurchase agreement held by the Fund at period end, as indicated in the Statement of Investments, had been entered into on June 30, 2014.

assets over various periods of time. In the event of default or early termination, the ISDA master agreement gives the non-defaulting party the right to net and close-out all transactions traded, whether or not arising under the ISDA agreement, to one net amount payable by one counterparty to the other. However, absent an event of default or early termination, OTC derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross and not offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Early termination by the counterparty may result in an immediate payment by the Fund of any net liability owed to that counterparty under the ISDA agreement.

Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral or initial margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Initial margin deposited is held at the exchange and can be in the form of cash and/or securities. For OTC derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, posting of collateral is required by either the fund or the applicable counterparty if the total net exposure of all OTC derivatives with the applicable counterparty exceeds the minimum transfer amount, which typically ranges from $100,000 to $250,000, and can vary depending on the counterparty and the type of the agreement. Generally, collateral is determined at the close of fund business each day and any additional collateral required due to changes in derivative values may be delivered by the fund or the counterparty within a few business days. Collateral pledged and/or received by the fund for OTC derivatives, if any, is held in segregated accounts with the fund’s custodian/counterparty broker and can be in the form of cash and/or securities. Unrestricted cash may be invested according to the Fund’s investment objectives.

The Fund entered into interest rate swap contracts primarily to manage interest rate risk. An interest rate swap is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange cash flows

based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional amount. These agreements may be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (“OTC interest rate swaps”) or may be executed on a registered exchange (“centrally cleared interest rate swaps”). For centrally cleared interest rate swaps, required initial margins are pledged by the Fund, and the daily change in fair value is accounted for as a variation margin payable or receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Over the term of the contract, contractually required payments to be paid and to be received are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized depreciation and appreciation until the payments are made, at which time they are realized.

See Note 9 regarding other derivative information.

e. Restricted Cash

At June 30, 2014, the Fund received restricted cash in connection with investments in certain derivative securities. Restricted cash is held in a segregated account with the Fund’s counterparty broker and is reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

f. Income and Deferred Taxes

Templeton Global Bond VIP Fund (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. 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.

Inflation-indexed bonds are adjusted for inflation through periodic increases or decreases in the security’s interest accruals,

face amount, or principal redemption value, by amounts corresponding to the rate of inflation as measured by an index. Any increase or decrease in the face amount or principal redemption value will be included as interest income on the Statement of Operations.

The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level.

For movements between the levels within the fair value hierarchy, the Fund has adopted a policy of recognizing the transfers as of the date of the underlying event which caused the movement.

At June 30, 2014, all of the Fund’s investments in financial instruments carried at fair value were valued using Level 2 inputs.

TEMPLETON GROWTH VIP FUND

Fund Goal and Main Investments: Templeton Growth VIP Fund seeks long-term capital growth. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests predominantly in equity securities of companies located anywhere in the world, including emerging markets.

Fund Risks: All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Special risks are associated with foreign investing, including currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments; investments in emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors. To the extent the Fund focuses on particular countries, regions, industries, sectors or types of investments from time to time, it may be subject to greater risks of adverse developments in such areas of focus than a fund that invests in a wider variety of countries, regions, industries, sectors or investments. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Performance Overview

You can find the Fund’s six-month total return in the Performance Summary. For comparison, the Fund’s benchmarks, the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) and the MSCI World Index, produced total returns of +6.50% and +6.52% for the period under review.¹

Economic and Market Overview

The global economy grew moderately during the six months under review as many developed markets continued to recover and many emerging markets recorded continued growth. Major developed market central banks reaffirmed their accommodative monetary policies in an effort to support ongoing recovery. Several emerging market central banks cut interest rates to boost economic growth, while others raised rates to control inflation and currency depreciation.

U.S. economic growth and employment trends were generally encouraging during the period, despite severe weather across many states that limited economic activity in the first quarter of 2014. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed) began reducing bond purchases by $10 billion a month in January 2014, based on earlier largely positive economic and employment data. The Fed continued reducing asset purchases during the period. In this

LOGO

environment, defensive sectors, such as health care and utilities, and sectors benefiting from rising oil prices, including energy, led market returns, while more cyclical sectors, such as financials and consumer discretionary, lagged the broader market.

Outside the U.S., the U.K. economy grew relatively well in the first half of 2014, supported by the services and manufacturing sectors. In the second quarter, a preliminary estimate registered expansion at percrisis levels. The Japanese economy grew strongly during the first quarter of 2014 as consumption rose ahead of a sales tax increase in April. The Bank of Japan kept its monetary policy unchanged as it maintained an upbeat inflation forecast and reiterated that the economy continued to recover moderately, despite challenges resulting from the sales tax increase. Japan’s growth weakened, however, in the second quarter. The Japanese government proposed a reduction in corporate taxes as part of its economic reforms in an effort to avoid deflation and facilitate growth. Although out of recession, the eurozone experienced deflationary risks and weak employment trends. The region’s first-quarter economic growth was softer than what many observers had expected. In the second quarter, concerns arose about the potential negative impacts to growth from the crisis in Ukraine and tension in the Middle East. Toward period-end, the European Central Bank (ECB) reduced its main interest rate and, for the first time, set a negative deposit rate.

Stocks in developed markets advanced overall during the period amid a generally accommodative monetary policy environment, continued strength in corporate earnings and signs of an economic recovery. Global government and corporate bonds delivered solid performance as interest rates in many developed market countries remained low. Gold prices rose during the period and oil prices increased amid supply concerns related to the crises in Ukraine and Iraq. The U.S. dollar was relatively flat compared to most 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

The Fund trailed the benchmark MSCI ACWI during the review period but delivered solid absolute returns and remained ahead of the benchmark on major medium- and long-term time horizons. Among the Fund’s biggest detractors during the period were holdings in the sectors and regions that most contributed to relative performance in recent years. However, we remained favorable on these core holdings as the process of value recognition continued to unfold. More broadly, we saw considerable performance potential across our portfolio as our analysis

suggested the market continued to underappreciate the long-term earnings, asset growth and cash-flow potential of our holdings.

The Fund’s European holdings delivered absolute gains during the first half of 2014 but weighed on performance relative to the benchmark. Since the European financial crisis, financial markets have stabilized, an early-stage economic recovery was under way, austerity was largely over, and, despite occasionally alarming headlines, political support for pro-European reform policies endured. In a development hardly conceivable to many just two years ago, the governments of Spain and Ireland were borrowing at lower rates than the U.S. government during the reporting period. Loan growth remained anemic in this early recovery, but we were encouraged by the ECB’s recent efforts to cut interest rates and ease credit access for small and medium enterprises. Overall, corporate fundamentals improved, but earnings and equity valuations remained depressed. In fact, corporate free cash-flow yields in Europe were higher than junk bond yields, a highly unusual occurrence. Deflationary pressures and geopolitical risks remain, and we expect the region to navigate additional uncertainty and volatility as the process of stabilization and repair proceeds unevenly. However, we believe valuations still fail to reflect the long-term recovery potential of our diverse European holdings.

From a sector perspective, industrials stocks were among the Fund’s largest detractors during the review period.² U.K. services firm Serco Group’s management issued a profit warning stemming from the U.K. government’s exclusion of the company as a contracting partner while the government investigated allegations of wrongdoing. This was the company’s third profit warning in a year, and shares posted their biggest price decline in two decades. Serco was the market’s most shorted support services stock, leading us to believe we were near the point of maximum pessimism. In our view, Serco took numerous successful steps to restore its reputation and business integrity, including replacing its chief executive officer, and U.K. government outsourcing remained an attractive growth segment. A stake in Dutch lighting giant Koninklijke Philips also pressured industrials performance. The company’s share price declined from a recent multi-year high after a stronger euro pressured first-quarter earnings. Currency fluctuations aside,

Philips’s restructuring efforts have improved fundamentals and profitability across core business lines, and its share price has recovered considerably over the past two years from depressed levels.

Financials is another long-term sector contributor that experienced adversity during the six months in review.³ The sector was responsible for many of the Fund’s largest detractors during a period when investors rotated out of cyclical stocks and increasing regulatory scrutiny impacted industry sentiment. French lender BNP Paribas and U.S. bank Citigroup were subject to U.S. regulatory censure, with the former fined a record amount for violating international business sanctions and the latter fined for alleged offenses relating to its precrisis mortgage operations. Despite these headwinds, capital ratios at the banks still appeared adequate to us, they maintained leadership positions in key markets and share prices traded below tangible book value, keeping us optimistic on their long-term prospects. In our view, rebuilt capital ratios and an improving economic outlook could allow European banks including BNP Paribas to lower loan-loss provisions, eventually boosting earnings and returns on tangible equity. Expectations also rose for enhanced shareholder returns through share buybacks and dividends, and our analysis suggested that investors underestimated the total return potential of certain European banks. Elsewhere, we added to our financials holdings in Asian and emerging markets, as well as a diverse range of financials in developed markets.

Conversely, consumer discretionary stocks contributed to performance during the six months under review.⁴ During a relatively weak period for consumer stocks, our sector holdings notably outperformed those of the broader benchmark. Diverse holdings such as U.S. entertainment firm Walt Disney, French tire manufacturer Michelin (Cie Generale des Etablissements Michelin) and Japanese automaker Nissan delivered double-digit absolute gains and benefited relative performance. Although we selectively reduced exposure to the consumer discretionary sector in recent periods to realize gains, in our view, continued value remained among firms where cyclical pressures and short-term skepticism were depressing share prices well below our assessment of their long-term intrinsic business values.

Encouragingly, an underweighted position in energy, where we found new bargains, also contributed to relative and absolute performance during the period.⁵ U.S. oilfield services firms Halliburton and Baker Hughes were among the key overweighted energy stocks, with share prices rallying as pessimism surrounding margins and supply faded amid improvements in the U.S. pressure pumping market. With oil prices rising above the estimated marginal cost of supply and U.S. pumping activity near all-time highs, our thesis on these highly cyclical stocks appeared to be maturing. We remained favorable toward oil services stocks given the strong demand for their expertise and technology as major and state-owned oil companies attempted to extract hydrocarbons from increasingly challenging locations. Among oil services and integrated oil firms, we found opportunities attractive to us in Europe, where energy stocks traded at their lowest cyclically adjusted earnings multiples in 30 years. We were encouraged to see many major oil companies

committed to scaling back what many viewed as excessive capital expenditures (capex) and prioritizing shareholder returns. We believed French oil company Total exemplified this trend. Total’s shares significantly outperformed the broader energy sector since management signaled that capex had peaked in September 2013. We believe this combination of improving shareholder return prospects and potential productivity gains from legacy capex could help integrated oil stocks appreciate in value over our long-term investment horizon as sentiment continues to improve.

Information technology holdings also performed well, led by U.S. personal computer manufacturer Hewlett-Packard.⁶ The company’s share price rose after the firm announced additional cost-cutting measures. Telecommunication services stocks also performed fairly well, buoyed by Turkish mobile operator Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri as the company’s share price rose to a record level after it reported solid mobile and broadband growth and improved overall profit margins.^{7, 8}

The Fund’s health care stocks weighed on results, despite delivering respectable absolute gains.⁹ U.S. biotechnology firm Forest Laboratories was one of the Fund’s leading performers as its share price rose to a record level after the firm agreed to be acquired by Actavis, one of the world’s largest generic drugmakers. We analyzed Forest in mid-2012, a time when the firm was nearing the end of key product cycles and a depressed share price reflected investor skepticism about its long-term strategy. Our analysis suggested that the market was overly negative about Forest’s prospects following major patent expirations. Although our long-term investment rationale was not dependent on a buyout, overtures from the activist investor who facilitated the sale were known, and we believed that a divestiture scenario could also unlock shareholder value. We increasingly found opportunities in biotechnology as investors appeared to us to overly discount the headwinds caused by generic competition and the long and capital-intensive innovation cycles inherent to the industry. We also remained favorable on our holdings in traditional pharmaceuticals companies, as many were cutting costs and diversifying away from patent-dependent products, which in our view can help value recognition unfold.

As we look back on the review period, we note that investor sentiment was cautious, although markets continued to move higher. Were investors buying stocks from a position of healthy skepticism or dangerous complacency? From our perspective, circumstances seemed more consistent with caution and skepticism than the complacency or euphoria often associated with bull markets. Equities at period-end were historically underowned, trend earnings multiples remained depressed and long-term equity returns were still below average, circumstances that we would typically not associate with market peaks. However, as the market cycle progresses, we believe investors will have to become increasingly selective in their stock picking. At Templeton, we believe our bottom-up approach and creative, forward-looking value process are well-suited to such an environment. By looking ahead of the consensus and thinking about value differently than the crowd, we believe we have kept the Fund replenished with compelling values and well positioned to potentially protect and grow client capital over time.

Thank you for your participation in Templeton Growth VIP Fund. We look forward to serving your future investment needs.

Class 1 Fund Expenses

•

Transaction expenses can include sales charges (loads) on purchases, surrender fees, transfer fees and premium taxes.

•

Actual Fund 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 × $7.50 = $64.50.

In this illustration, the estimated expenses incurred this period at the Fund level are $64.50.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Templeton Growth VIP 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 management investment company, consisting of twenty separate funds and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Templeton Growth VIP Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. Shares of the Fund are generally 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 4. Each class of shares differs by its distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.

Effective May 1, 2014, the Templeton Growth Securities Fund was renamed the Templeton Growth VIP Fund.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

Equity securities listed on an 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. Foreign

equity securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded or as of the NYSE close, whichever is earlier. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the NYSE close on the day that the value of the security is determined. Over-the-counter (OTC) securities 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. Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships to similar securities. Investments in non-registered money market funds are valued at the closing net asset value. Time deposits are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation (continued)

b. Foreign Currency Translation

c. Securities Lending

The Fund participates in an agency based securities lending program. The Fund receives cash collateral against the loaned securities in an amount equal to at least 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities. Collateral is maintained over the life of the loan in an amount not less than 100% of the fair value of loaned securities, as determined at the close of fund business each day; any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The collateral is invested in a non-registered money fund as indicated on the Statement of Investments. The Fund receives income from the investment of cash collateral, in addition to lending fees and rebates paid by the borrower. The Fund bears the market risk with respect to the collateral investment, securities loaned, and the risk that the agent may default on its obligations to the Fund. The securities lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Fund in the event of default by a third party borrower.

Board Review of Investment Management Agreement

At a meeting held April 15, 2014, the Board of Trustees (Board), including a majority of non-interested or independent Trustees, approved renewal of the investment management agreement for each of the separate funds within the Trust (Fund(s)). In reaching this decision, the Board took into account information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the annual renewal review process. Information furnished and discussed throughout the year included investment performance reports and related financial information for each Fund, along with periodic reports on expenses, shareholder services, legal and compliance matters, pricing, brokerage commissions and execution and other services provided by the Investment Manager (Manager) and its affiliates. Information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal process included reports prepared by Lipper, Inc. (Lipper), an independent organization, as well as additional material, including a Fund profitability analysis prepared by management. The Lipper reports compared a Fund’s investment performance and expenses with those of other mutual funds deemed comparable to the Fund as selected by Lipper. No Lipper reports, however, were furnished with respect to the newly formed Franklin Managed Volatility Global Allocation VIP Fund in view of its short period of operation and absence of third-party shareholders. The Fund profitability analysis discussed the profitability to Franklin Templeton Investments from its overall U.S. fund operations, as well as on an individual fund-by-fund basis. Additional material accompanying such profitability analysis included information on a fund-by-fund basis listing portfolio managers and other accounts they manage, as well as information on management fees charged by the Manager and its affiliates to U.S. mutual funds and other accounts, including management’s explanation of differences where relevant. Such material also included a memorandum prepared by management describing project initiatives and capital investments relating to the services provided to the Funds by the Franklin Templeton Investments organization, as well as a memorandum relating to economies of scale.

In considering such materials, the independent Trustees received assistance and advice from and met separately with independent counsel. While the investment management agreements for all Funds were considered at the same Board meeting, the Board dealt with each Fund separately. In approving continuance of the investment management agreement for each Fund, the Board, including a majority of independent Trustees, determined that the existing management fee structure was fair and reasonable and that continuance of the investment management agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. While attention was given to all

information furnished, the following discusses some primary factors relevant to the Board’s decision.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Service. The Board was satisfied with the nature and quality of the overall services provided by the Manager and its affiliates to the Funds and their shareholders. In addition to investment performance and expenses discussed later, the Board’s opinion was based, in part, upon periodic reports furnished them showing that the investment policies and restrictions for each Fund were consistently complied with as well as other reports periodically furnished the Board covering matters such as the compliance of portfolio managers and other management personnel with the code of ethics adopted throughout the Franklin Templeton fund complex, the adherence to fair value pricing procedures established by the Board, and the accuracy of net asset value calculations. Favorable consideration was given to management’s continual efforts and expenditures in establishing back-up systems and recovery procedures to function in the event of a natural disaster, it being noted that such systems and procedures had functioned well during the Florida hurricanes and blackouts experienced in previous years, and that those operations in the New York/New Jersey area ran smoothly during the period of the 2012 Hurricane Sandy. Among other factors taken into account by the Board were the Manager’s best execution trading policies, including a favorable report by an independent portfolio trading analytical firm, which also covered FOREX transactions. Consideration was also given to the experience of each Fund’s portfolio management team, the number of accounts managed and general method of compensation. In this latter respect, the Board noted that a primary factor in management’s determination of a portfolio manager’s bonus compensation was the relative investment performance of the funds he or she managed and that a portion of such bonus was required to be invested in a predesignated list of funds within such person’s fund management area so as to be aligned with the interests of shareholders. Particular attention was given to management’s conservative approach and diligent risk management procedures, including continual monitoring of counterparty credit risk and attention given to derivatives and other complex instruments, including expanded collateralization requirements. The Board also took into account, among other things, management’s efforts in establishing a global credit facility for the benefit of the Funds and other accounts managed by Franklin Templeton Investments to provide a source of cash for temporary and emergency purposes or to meet unusual redemption requests as well as the strong financial position of the Manager’s parent company and its commitment to the mutual fund business as evidenced by its subsidization of money market funds.

Investment Performance. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of each of the Funds in view of its importance to shareholders. While consideration was given to performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Board meetings throughout the year, particular attention in assessing performance was given to the Lipper reports furnished for the agreement renewals of all Funds. The Lipper reports prepared for each of the individual Funds showed the investment performance of Class 1 shares for those having such class of shares and Class 2 shares for those Funds that did not have Class 1 shares, in comparison to a performance universe selected by Lipper. Comparative performance for each Fund was shown for the one-year period ended January 31, 2014, and previous periods ended that date of up to 10 years unless otherwise noted. Performance was shown on a total return basis for each Fund and in certain cases, as indicated, on an income return basis as well. The following summarizes the performance results for each of the Funds and the Board’s view of such performance.

Franklin Flex Cap Growth Securities Fund – The performance universe for this Fund, which has been in operation for less than 10 full years, consisted of the Fund and all multi-cap growth funds underlying variable insurance products as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s comparative total return for the one-year period to be in the second-highest performing quintile of its performance universe, and on an annualized basis to be in the lowest performing quintile of such universe for each of the previous three- and five-year periods. The Board discussed with management the reasons for the Fund’s underperformance during the previous three- and five-year periods, but found the Fund’s overall comparative performance as shown in the Lipper report to be acceptable, noting its favorable one-year performance and that its three- and five-year performance exceeded 11.5% and 18%, respectively, as shown in the Lipper report.

Franklin Global Real Estate Securities Fund – The performance universe for this Fund consisted of the Fund and all global real estate funds underlying variable insurance products as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s total return to be in the second-lowest performing quintile of such universe for the one-year period, and on an annualized basis to be in the highest performing quintile of such universe for the previous three-year period, but in the lowest performing quintile of such universe for each of the previous five- and 10-year periods. The Board discussed with management the reasons for the underperformance of the Fund in the one-year period and steps that had been taken by management in recent years to improve

the Fund’s performance, noting that the Fund’s total return as shown in the Lipper report exceeded the median of its Lipper performance universe in each of the previous two-, three- and four-year periods. While the Board intends to continue to monitor the Fund’s performance, it determined that such performance was acceptable.

Franklin Growth and Income Securities Fund – The performance universe for this Fund consisted of the Fund and all equity income funds underlying variable insurance products as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s income return during the one-year period to be in the highest or best performing quintile of its performance universe, and on an annualized basis in each of the previous three-, five- and 10-year periods to also be in the highest quintile of such universe. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s total return for the one-year period to be in the highest performing quintile of its performance universe, and on an annualized basis to be in the second-highest performing quintile of such universe for each of the previous three- and five-year periods, and the second-lowest performing quintile of such universe for the previous 10-year period. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s comparative performance as shown in the Lipper report.

Franklin High Income Securities Fund – The performance universe for this Fund consisted of the Fund and all high yield funds underlying variable insurance products as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s income return for the one-year period to be in the highest performing quintile of such universe, and on an annualized basis to be in the second-highest and middle performing quintiles of such universe for the previous three- and five-year periods, respectively, and to be in the second-lowest quintile of such universe for the previous 10-year period. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s total return to be in the highest performing quintile of its performance universe for the one-year period, and on an annualized basis to be in the highest performing quintile of such universe for the previous three-year period, the middle quintile of such universe for the previous five-year period, and the second-highest quintile of such universe for the previous 10-year period. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s comparative performance as shown in the Lipper report.

Franklin Income Securities Fund – The performance universe for this Fund consisted of the Fund and all mixed-asset target allocation moderate funds underlying variable insurance products as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s income return to be in the highest or best performing quintile of such universe for the one-year period and to also be in the highest performing quintile of such universe for each of the previous

three-, five- and 10-year periods on an annualized basis. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s total return to be in the middle performing quintile of its performance universe for the one-year period, and on an annualized basis to be in the second-highest performing quintile of such universe for the previous three-year period, and the highest or best performing quintiles of such universe for the previous five- and 10-year periods. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s comparative performance as shown in the Lipper report.

Franklin Large Cap Growth Securities Fund – The performance universe for this Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional large-cap core funds underlying variable insurance products as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s total return to be in the second-lowest performing quintile of such universe for the one-year period, and on an annualized basis to be in the second-lowest performing quintile of such universe for the previous three-year period, and the lowest performing quintile of such universe for each of the previous five- and 10-year periods. The Board discussed with management the reasons for the Fund’s one-year comparative underperformance, which had dragged down its overall annualized performance, and the steps being taken to improve it. In particular, the Board discussed with management the appointment of a new portfolio manager for the Fund, effective May 1, 2014. In view of such discussions, the Board believed that appropriate action was being taken by management to improve performance and that no further changes in portfolio management or investment strategy were warranted, It also observed that, as shown in the Lipper report, the Fund’s total return for the one-year period exceeded 19%, its five-year annualized total return was within 1.33% of the median for the performance universe for such period, and its 10-year annualized total return was within 1.0% of the median for the performance universe for such period.

Franklin Large Cap Value Securities Fund – The performance universe for this Fund, which has been in operation for less than 10 full years, consisted of the Fund and all large-cap value funds underlying variable insurance products as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s total return to be in the middle performing quintile of such universe for the one-year period and on an annualized basis to also be in the lowest performing quintile of such universe for the previous three-year period, and the middle performing quintile of such universe for the previous five-year period. The Board found the Fund’s performance acceptable, noting that management was taking appropriate steps to improve it, including the hiring of an experienced analyst to assist the portfolio management team. The Board also noted that the Lipper report showed the Fund’s

one-year total return to exceed the median of its performance universe, its annualized three-year return to be within less than 1¹⁄₂% of the performance universe median for such period, and its annualized five-year return to be at the median of the performance universe for such period.

Franklin Rising Dividends Securities Fund – The performance universe for this Fund consisted of the Fund and all multi-cap core funds underlying variable insurance products as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s comparative total return to be in the middle performing quintile of the performance universe for the one-year period, and on an annualized basis to be in the highest performing quintile of such universe for the previous three-year period, and the middle performing quintile of such universe for each of the previous five- and 10-year periods. The Board found the Fund’s comparative performance as set forth in the Lipper report to be satisfactory and that no change was needed to the investment strategy followed or manner in which the Fund operates.

Franklin Small Cap Value Securities Fund – The performance universe for this Fund consisted of the Fund and all small-cap value funds underlying variable insurance products as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s total return for the one-year period to be in the middle performing quintile of such performance universe, and on an annualized basis to be in either the highest performing quintile or second-highest performing quintile of such universe for each of the previous three-, five- and 10-year periods. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s comparative performance as set forth in the Lipper report.

by Lipper. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s income return to be in the highest or best performing quintile of such performance universe for the one-year period, and on an annualized basis to also be in the highest performing quintile of such universe during each of the previous three- and five-year periods, and in the second-highest performing quintile of such universe for the previous 10-year period. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s total return to be in the highest performing quintile of such universe during the one-year period, and on an annualized basis to be in either the highest performing or second-highest performing quintile of such universe for each of the previous three-, five- and 10-year periods. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s performance as shown in the Lipper report.

Franklin Templeton VIP Founding Funds Allocation Fund – The performance universe for this Fund consisted of the Fund and all mixed-asset target allocation growth funds underlying variable insurance products as selected by Lipper. The Fund has been in existence for only six full years and the Lipper report showed its income return to be in the highest performing quintile of such performance universe for the one-year period, and on an annualized basis to also be in the highest performing quintile of such universe for each of the previous three- and five-year periods. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s total return for the one-year period to be in the second-highest performing quintile of such performance universe and on an annualized basis to be in the highest performing quintile of such universe for each of the previous three- and five-year periods. In assessing the relevance of such comparative performance, the Board noted the Fund is not actively managed and that its performance reflects those of the three underlying funds in which it invests in equal portions. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s performance as shown in the Lipper report.

Franklin U.S. Government Fund – The performance universe for this Fund consisted of the Fund and all general U.S. government funds underlying variable insurance products as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s income return for the one-year period to be in the highest performing quintile of such universe and on an annualized basis to also be in the highest performing quintile of such universe for each of the previous three-, five- and 10-year periods. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s total return to be in the second-highest performing quintile of such universe for the one-year period, and on an annualized basis to be in the second-lowest performing quintile of such universe for the previous three-year period, the middle performing quintile of such universe for the previous five-year period, and the second-highest performing quintile of such universe for the previous 10-year period. The Board found the Fund’s comparative performance as shown in

The Board discussed with management the reasons for the one-year underperformance of the Fund and found the Fund’s overall performance as shown in the Lipper report to be acceptable in view of the Manager’s conservative style of investing and its emphasis on risk-adjusted long-term returns and limited volatility. The Board noted that the Fund was in the top half of its Lipper universe when performance is evaluated on a risk-adjusted basis. The Board also observed that the Fund’s one-year total return as shown in the Lipper report was 17.76%.

The Lipper report showed the Fund’s comparative total return for the one-year period to be in the second-lowest performing quintile of such performance universe and on an annualized basis to be in the middle performing quintile of such universe for each of the previous three- and five-year periods, and the second-lowest performing quintile of such universe during the previous 10-year period. The Board found the comparative performance of the Fund as set forth in the Lipper report to be acceptable in view of management’s

explanation that such performance was reflective of the Manager’s bottom-up approach to investing, which was out of favor in current markets, and noted that the annualized performance for the three- and five-year periods exceeded the median while the performance for the 10-year period exceeded 8%. The Board also discussed with management steps it was contemplating to improve the performance, including a more rigorous ongoing review of the fundamentals of each portfolio holding and increased selling discipline where prices have declined.

Templeton Foreign Securities Fund – The performance universe for this Fund consisted of the Fund and all international value funds underlying variable insurance products as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s comparative total return for the one-year period to be in the second-highest performing quintile of such performance universe and on an annualized basis to be in either the highest performing quintile or second-highest performing quintile of such universe in each of the previous three-, five- and 10-year periods. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s comparative investment performance as set forth in the Lipper report.

Templeton Global Bond Securities Fund – The performance universe for this Fund consisted of the Fund and all global income funds underlying variable insurance products as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s income return for the one-year period to be in the second-highest performing quintile of such performance universe, and on an annualized basis to be in the highest performing quintile of such universe for each of the previous three-, five- and 10-year periods. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s total return for the one-year period to be in the second-highest performing quintile of its performance universe, and on an annualized basis to be in either the highest or second-highest performing quintile of such universe for each of the previous three-, five- and 10-year periods. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s comparative performance as set forth in the Lipper report.

Templeton Growth Securities Fund – The performance universe for this Fund consisted of the Fund and all global value funds underlying variable insurance products as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s total return for the one-year period to be in the highest or best performing quintile of such performance universe and on an annualized basis to be in the second-highest performing quintile of such universe for each of the previous three- and five-year periods, and the second-lowest performing quintile of such universe for the previous 10-year period. The Board found the Fund’s comparative performance as set forth in the Lipper report to be satisfactory.

Comparative Expenses. Consideration was given to expense comparison information contained in the Lipper reports furnished for each Fund, which compared its management fee and total expense ratio with those of a group of other funds selected by Lipper as its appropriate Lipper expense group. Lipper expense data is based upon information taken from each fund’s most recent annual report, which reflects historical asset levels that may be quite different from those currently existing, particularly in a period of market volatility. While recognizing such inherent limitation and the fact that expense ratios generally increase as assets decline and decrease as assets grow, the Board believed the independent analysis conducted by Lipper to be an appropriate measure of comparative expenses. In reviewing comparative costs, Lipper provides information on the Funds’ contractual investment management fee rate in comparison with the contractual investment management fee rate that would have been charged by other funds within its Lipper expense group assuming they were similar in size to the Fund, as well as the actual total expense ratio of the Fund in comparison with those of its Lipper expense group. The Lipper contractual investment management fee analysis includes administrative charges at the fund level as being part of a management fee, and actual total expenses, for comparative consistency, are shown by Lipper for the same class of shares for all funds within a particular Lipper expense group. The results of such comparisons showed that both the contractual investment management fee rates and actual total expense ratios of the following Funds were in the least expensive quintiles of their respective Lipper expense groups: Franklin Income Securities Fund, Franklin Small Cap Value Securities Fund, Franklin Growth and Income Securities Fund, Franklin High Income Securities Fund, Franklin Strategic Income Securities Fund and Templeton Global Bond Securities Fund. The Board was satisfied with the comparative contractual investment management fees and expenses of these Funds as shown in their Lipper reports. The contractual investment management fee rates of each of Franklin Rising Dividends Securities Fund, Franklin Small-Mid Cap Growth Securities Fund, Franklin U.S. Government Fund, Templeton Foreign Securities Fund and Franklin Templeton VIP Founding Funds Allocation Fund were at or below the medians of their Lipper expense groups, and their actual total expense ratios in each case were below the medians of their Lipper expense groups. The Board was satisfied with the comparative contractual investment management fees and expenses of these Funds as shown in their Lipper reports. The contractual investment management fee rates for Franklin Flex Cap Growth Securities Fund and Franklin Large Cap Value Securities Fund were the highest in their Lipper expense groups, but in each case their actual total expense ratios

SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

were below the medians of such groups. The Board was satisfied with the comparative expenses of these Funds as shown in their Lipper reports, noting that the expenses of each of these Funds were subsidized through fee waivers. The contractual investment management fee rate as well as actual expense ratio for Franklin Large Cap Growth Securities Fund was in each case above, but within five basis points of, the median of its Lipper expense group. The contractual investment fee rate of Mutual Shares Securities Fund was less than seven basis points higher than the median of its Lipper expense group while its actual expense ratio was at the median of such expense group. The contractual management fee rate and actual expense ratio of Templeton Growth Securities Fund in both cases were above, but within, 12 and six basis points, respectively, of the median of its Lipper expense group. The Board found the comparative expenses of these Funds as shown in their Lipper reports to be acceptable. The contractual investment management fee rate of Templeton Developing Markets Securities Fund was less than five basis points above the median of its Lipper expense group, and its actual total expense ratio was less than eight basis points above the median of its Lipper expense group. The Board found the comparative expenses of this Fund to be acceptable. The contractual investment management fee rate and actual total expense ratio of Mutual Global Discovery Securities Fund were the most expensive in its Lipper expense group, but within 26 basis points and 12 basis points, respectively, of the expense group median. The Board found such expenses to be acceptable in view of the Fund’s overall investment performance and the quality and experience of its portfolio managers. The contractual management fee rate and actual total expense ratio of Franklin Global Real Estate Securities Fund were the most expensive in its Lipper expense group, but within 10 basis points and 22 basis points, respectively, of the expense group median. The Board found such expenses to be acceptable.

Management Profitability. The Board also considered the level of profits realized by the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the operation of each Fund. In this respect, the Board reviewed the Fund profitability analysis that addresses the overall profitability of Franklin Templeton’s U.S. fund business, as well as its profits in providing management and other services to each of the individual funds during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2013, being the most recent fiscal year-end for Franklin Resources, Inc., the Manager’s parent. In reviewing the analysis, the Board recognized that allocation methodologies are inherently subjective and various allocation methodologies may be reasonable while producing different results. In this respect, the Board noted that while management continually makes refinements to its methodologies in response to organizational

and product related changes, the overall approach as defined by the primary drivers and activity measurements has remained consistent with that used in the Funds’ profitability report presentations from prior years. Additionally, the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm had been engaged by the Manager to periodically review the reasonableness of the allocation methodologies to be used solely by the Funds’ Board in reference to the profitability analysis. In reviewing and discussing such analysis, management discussed with the Board its belief that costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the type of mutual fund operations conducted by the Manager and its affiliates may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to each Fund in determining its profitability, as well as the fact that the level of profits, to a certain extent, reflected operational cost savings and efficiencies initiated by management. The Board also took into account management’s expenditures in improving services provided the Funds, as well as the need to implement systems to meet additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from statutes such as the Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank Acts and recent SEC and other regulatory requirements. In addition, the Board considered a third-party study comparing the profitability of the Manager’s parent on an overall basis to other publicly held managers broken down to show profitability from management operations exclusive of distribution expenses, as well as profitability including distribution expenses. The Board also considered the extent to which the Manager and its affiliates might derive ancillary benefits from Fund operations, including potential benefits resulting from allocation of fund brokerage and the use of commission dollars to pay for research. Based upon its consideration of all these factors, the Board determined that the level of profits realized by the Manager and its affiliates from providing services to each Fund was not excessive in view of the nature, quality and extent of services provided.

Economies of Scale. The Board also considered whether economies of scale are realized by the Manager as the Funds grow larger and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of management fees charged. While recognizing that any precise determination is inherently subjective, the Board noted that based upon the Fund profitability analysis, it appears that as some funds get larger, at some point economies of scale do result in the Manager realizing a larger profit margin on management services provided such a fund. The Board also noted that economies of scale are shared with a fund and its shareholders through management fee breakpoints so that as a fund grows in size, its effective management fee rate declines. In the case of Franklin Templeton VIP Founding Funds Allocation Fund, the management fees of the underlying funds in

which it invests have management fee breakpoints that extend beyond their existing asset sizes, and in the case of each of the other Funds, other than Franklin Rising Dividends Securities Fund, their management fees contain breakpoints that extend beyond their existing asset sizes. To the extent economies of scale may be realized by the manager and its affiliates, the Board believed the schedule of investment management fees provides a sharing of benefits for each Fund and its shareholders. The investment management fee structure of Franklin Rising Dividends Securities Fund provides for a fee of 0.75% on the first $500 million of assets; 0.625% on the next $500 million of assets; and 0.500% on assets in excess of $1 billion. This Fund had assets of $1.8 billion at December 31, 2013, and in reviewing its fee structure, management stated its belief that this fee structure reaches a relatively low rate quickly reflecting anticipated economies of scale. In support of such position, management pointed out the favorable management fee and total expense comparisons of this Fund within its Lipper expense group as previously discussed under “Comparative Expenses.” In light of such position and taking into account the fact that the reduced rate on assets in excess of the last breakpoint lowers the Fund’s overall investment management fee rate, the Board believed that the schedule of investment management fees provides a sharing of benefits for the Fund and its shareholders, but intends to monitor future growth and the appropriateness of adding additional breakpoints. In addition to the investment advisory services provided Franklin Small Cap Value Securities Fund, Mutual Global Discovery Securities Fund, Mutual Shares Securities Fund, Templeton Developing Markets Securities Fund and Templeton Foreign Securities Fund, administrative services are provided each such Fund under a separate agreement at a charge of 0.150% on the first $200 million of assets; 0.135% on the next $500 million of assets; 0.100% on the next $500 million of assets; and 0.75% on assets in excess of $1.2 billion. At the April 15, 2014, Board meeting, the Board eliminated the separate investment management and administrative agreements and approved a new form of investment management agreement for Franklin Small Cap Value Securities Fund, Mutual Global Discovery Securities Fund, Mutual Shares Securities Fund, Templeton Developing Markets Securities Fund and Templeton Foreign Securities Fund combining such services. In approving the new form of investment management agreement, the Board took into account that the types of services would be the same as provided under the previous separate agreements and that the aggregate fee, including breakpoints, would be the same as that charged under the previous separate agreements. The Board noted that combining such services was consistent with Lipper’s methodology of

considering contractual investment management fees to include any separately charged administrative fee.
