Annual Report
Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund
Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments: Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund seeks total return. Under normal market conditions, the Fund strategically invests in a diversified core portfolio of equity and fixed income investments, and tactically adjusts the Fund’s exposure to certain asset classes, regions, currencies and sectors independent of the investment processes of the core portfolio’s investment strategies.
This annual report for Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund covers the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014.
Performance Overview
Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund – Class A delivered a cumulative total return of +8.35% for the 12 months under review. In comparison, the Fund’s benchmark generated a +10.89% total return. The benchmark is a combination of MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI),2, 3 which measures stock performance in developed and emerging markets; Citigroup World Government Bond Index (WGBI),2, 4 which measures performance of investment-grade world government bonds; Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total ReturnSM (DJ-UBSCITRSM),2, 5 which measures performance of fully collateralized positions of underlying commodity futures; and Payden & Rygel (P&R) 90 Day U.S. Treasury Bill (T-Bill) Index,6 a proxy for short-term investments and other net assets. You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 9.
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.

Economic and Market Overview
The global economy grew moderately during the 12 months under review as many developed markets continued to recover and many emerging markets showed growth. Major developed market central banks reaffirmed their accommodative monetary policies in an effort to support the ongoing recovery. In emerging markets, many central banks cut interest rates to boost economic growth, while others raised rates to control inflation and currency depreciation.
The dollar value, number of shares or principal amount, and names of all portfolio holdings are listed in the Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Investments (SOI). The SOI begins on page 20.
Annual Report | 3
U.S. economic growth and employment trends were generally encouraging during the period, despite severe weather across many states in early 2014 that suppressed economic activity. In October 2013, a budget impasse resulted in a temporary federal government shutdown. However, Congress passed a spending bill in January to fund the federal government through September 2014. Congress also approved the suspension of the debt ceiling until March 2015. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed) began reducing bond purchases by $10 billion a month in January 2014, based on continued favorable economic and employment data.
Outside the U.S., growth rose in the U.K., supported by the services and manufacturing sectors. Economic activity was slower in Japan, although business sentiment and private consumption improved and unemployment reached its lowest level since 2007. Despite a relatively weak yen, export growth slowed toward period-end, resulting partly from lower shipments to the U.S. and China. 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 a sales tax increase in April. Although out of recession, the eurozone experienced weak employment trends and deflationary risks. German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s reelection and the European Central Bank’s (ECB’s) highly accommodative monetary policy contributed to investor confidence in the region. However, economic growth remained subdued, and near period-end the ECB announced that it would provide additional stimulus should deflationary risks increase.
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 12-month period, despite volatility resulting from concerns about moderating economic growth, 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, South Africa and Russia, to raise interest rates in an effort to curb inflation and support their currencies.
Stocks in developed markets rallied 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 declined notably for the period despite rallying in early 2014, while oil prices generally rose amid supply concerns related to geopolitical tensions.

Investment Strategy
We manage the Fund using a multi-manager approach. While we are responsible for the Fund’s overall investments, we consult with various other investment managers within Franklin Templeton Investments (subadvisors) who independently manage separate portions of the Fund’s core equity and fixed income portfolio in accordance with the following strategies: all-cap U.S. growth equity, non-U.S. growth equity, deep value equity, non-U.S. value equity, emerging markets equity, global fixed income and global low duration fixed income. The allocations to each strategy may change from time to time and are subject to periodic rebalancing as market values of the portfolio’s securities change or at our discretion.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund’s baseline allocation between broad asset classes is 50% global equity (U.S./international/emerging), 35% global fixed income (U.S./international/emerging), 5% commodity-linked instruments, and 10% cash and derivative instruments. We manage portions of the Fund’s core portfolio, as well as the Fund’s tactical allocation portion, and rebalance the Fund’s portfolio to maintain the baseline strategic allocation to various asset classes and investment strategies. We may change the baseline strategic allocation from time to time.
For purposes of its investment goal, the Fund regularly enters into various transactions involving derivative instruments. For the Fund’s tactical asset allocation, we primarily use stock index futures, government bond futures, equity total return swaps and currency forwards and futures contracts. We make tactical investment decisions based on quantitative research and a systematic investment strategy driven by bottom-up fundamental analysis, top-down macroeconomic analysis and short-term sentiment indicators. The tactical allocation portion of the Fund is intended to adjust the Fund’s equity, fixed income, country/regional, and currency exposures. Although we do not attempt to time the entire market’s direction, we keep the flexibility to shift the Fund’s net exposure (the value of securities held long less the value of securities held short) depending on which market opportunities look more attractive. The Fund may, from time to time, have a net short position in certain asset classes, regions, currencies and sectors.
What is a currency forward contract?
A currency forward contract, or 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, or a future, is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty made through a U.S. or foreign futures exchange to buy or sell a security at a specific price on a future date.
What is an equity swap?
A swap agreement, such as an equity total return swap, is a contract between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange on a future date the returns, or differentials in rates of return, that would have been earned or realized if a notional amount were invested in specific instruments.
Manager’s Discussion
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, the cumulative total return of the Fund’s multi-asset portfolio trailed that of its blended benchmark. Security selection in the fixed income and currency markets, where positions under-performed the benchmark despite providing positive absolute contributions to return, detracted from relative performance. An overweighted equity allocation contributed to relative results.

Baseline Strategic Allocation
At period-end, the Fund’s largest asset class exposure was to global equities, which was consistent with their significant structural weight in the baseline strategic allocation. Regionally, the largest equity weightings were in North America and Europe, with the U.S. as the largest country weighting, followed by the U.K. and Switzerland. Relative to the blended benchmark, the largest country overweightings were in the U.K., China and the Netherlands, while the U.S. and Japan represented the largest underweightings. Within the fixed income allocation, the largest regional weightings at period-end were in North America and Europe, and the largest country exposures were in the U.S., South Korea and Mexico. Relative to the blended benchmark, the largest country overweightings were in South Korea, which is not part of the Citigroup WGBI, Mexico and Poland. The most significant fixed income underweightings were in Japan, Italy and Germany.
Tactical Asset Allocation
At period-end, the tactical asset allocation included allocations to global equities and fixed income in developed markets, in addition to currency positions. Equity allocations, through the use of index futures, included long positions in German, French and Swiss stocks.7 Short positions in German and U.K. government bonds, achieved through the use of index futures, reduced the Fund’s overall exposure to fixed income.8 The currency component of the tactical asset allocation included long positions in the U.S. dollar and short exposures to the British pound, euro and Japanese yen, which we achieved through the use of currency forwards.
Equity
For the overall portfolio, the equity portion contributed to relative performance, resulting from the Fund’s overweighted allocation to European equities as slow but steady growth supported European markets. Despite the overall positive contribution of stocks, some equity allocations weighed on relative performance. A tactical short to developing equity market stocks, initiated in mid-2013, hampered relative performance as those markets performed well during the broad equity rally in September and October 2013. The Fund’s underweighting in the U.S. also weighed on performance, although security selection in the U.S. limited the impact.
Fixed Income
For the overall portfolio, fixed income holdings contributed to performance relative to the blended benchmark. However, a tactical short position against rising global interest rates was a significant detractor as the fixed income markets rallied amid continued accommodation from the major developed country
6 | Annual Report
central banks and periods of heightened political risk. A focus on shorter duration assets also limited Fund performance as these issues had smaller gains relative to the benchmark. Conversely, exposure to several emerging debt markets, which are not part of the Citigroup WGBI, including Poland, Mexico and Hungary, helped relative results as bonds from those countries offered higher yields.
Currencies
Overall, currency positions contributed to performance in absolute terms, but detracted from performance relative to the blended benchmark. A significant underweighting in the euro weighed on relative results as the euro strengthened against the U.S. dollar. An underweighting in the British pound also hurt relative performance, although to a lesser extent. On an absolute performance basis, a short Japanese yen position, achieved via currency forward contracts, was a key driver of positive performance. An overweighting in several emerging market currencies, including long positions in the South Korean won and Polish zloty, added value.
Thank you for your continued participation in Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund. We look forward to serving your future investment needs.

Performance Summary (continued)
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Generally, investors should be comfortable with fluctuation in the value of their investments, especially over the short term. Stock prices fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and dramatically, due to factors affecting individual companies, particular industries or sectors, or general market conditions. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as the prices of bonds in the Fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the Fund’s share price may decline. Changes in the financial strength of a bond issuer or in a bond’s credit rating may affect its value. Foreign investing carries additional risks such as currency and market volatility and political or social instability; risks that are heightened in developing countries. 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. Because the Fund allocates assets to a variety of investment strategies involving certain risks, it may be subject to those same risks. These risks are described more fully in the Fund’s prospectus. The Fund is actively managed, but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results.

Your Fund’s Expenses
As a Fund shareholder, you can incur two types of costs:
- Transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on Fund purchases; and
- Ongoing Fund costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses.
The following table shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated.
Actual Fund Expenses
The first line (Actual) for each share class listed in 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 Fund expenses.
You can estimate the expenses you paid 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 “Expenses Paid During Period.” |
| If Expenses Paid During Period were $7.50, then 8.6 x $7.50 = $64.50. |
In this illustration, the estimated expenses paid this period are $64.50.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Funds
Information in the second line (Hypothetical) for each class in the table can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” is based on the actual expense ratio for each class and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund’s actual return. The figure under the heading “Expenses Paid 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.
14 | Annual Report
Your Fund’s Expenses (continued)
Please note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges. Therefore, the second line for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transaction costs were included, your total costs would have been higher. Please refer to the Fund prospectus for additional information on operating expenses.

Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Franklin Templeton International Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company, consisting of four separate funds. The Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. The Fund offers four classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, and Advisor Class. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges, voting rights on matters affecting a single class, its exchange privilege and fees primarily due to differing arrangements for distribution and transfer agent fees.
Effective June 30, 2014, the Fund was renamed the Franklin Global Allocation 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.
Equity securities, exchange traded notes 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 open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value.

1. | ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
a. | Financial Instrument Valuation (continued) |
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.
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 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 relia- |
bility 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.
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 Consolidated 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 |

b. | Foreign Currency Translation (continued) |
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. 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 Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain and loss and unrealized appreciation and depreciation on these contracts for the period are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through a formal evaluation of the creditworthi-ness 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 Consolidated 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

c. | Derivative Financial Instruments (continued) |
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/counter-party 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 financial futures contracts primarily to manage and/or gain exposure to interest rate or equity price risk, and 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 Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
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.
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 Consolidated 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.
The Fund entered into OTC total return swap contracts primarily to manage and/or gain exposure to equity price risk of an underlying asset. A total return swap is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange a market linked return for a floating rate payment, both based upon a notional amount. Over the term of the contract, contractually required payments to be paid or received are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized depreciation or appreciation until the payments are made, at which time they are realized. Payments received or paid to recognize changes in the value of the underlying asset are recorded as realized gain or loss.

Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund
1. | ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
c. | Derivative Financial Instruments (continued) |
The Fund purchased or wrote exchange traded option contracts primarily to manage and/or gain 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 Note 8 regarding other derivative information.
d. Restricted Cash
At May 31, 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 Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
e. Exchange Traded Notes
The Fund purchases exchange traded notes. Exchange traded notes are senior, unsecured, unsub-ordinated debt securities issued by an underwriting bank. Exchange traded notes are designed to provide investors access to the returns of various market benchmarks and intended to replicate the economic effects that would apply had the Fund directly purchased the underlying referenced asset or basket of assets. The risks of exchange traded notes include the credit risk of the issuer, counterparty risk, and the potential inability of the Fund to dispose of the exchange traded note in the normal course of business.
f. Investment in GAF Holdings Corp. (GAF Subsidiary)
The Fund invests in certain financial instruments through its investment in the GAF Subsidiary. The GAF Subsidiary is a Cayman Islands exempted liability company, 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 May 31, 2014, the GAF Subsidiary’s investment as well as any other assets and liabilities of the GAF Subsidiary are reflected in the Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Investments and Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The financial statements have been consolidated and include the accounts of the Fund and the GAF Subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. At May 31, 2014, the net assets of the GAF Subsidiary were $2,313,217, representing 5.28% of the Fund’s consolidate net assets. The Fund’s investment in the GAF Subsidiary is limited to 25% of consolidated assets.

g. | 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.
h. 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.
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.
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 May 31, 2014, and for all open tax years, the Fund has determined that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits is required in the Fund’s consolidated 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.
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. 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

i. | Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions (continued) |
ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined according to income tax regulations (tax basis). Distributable earnings determined on a tax basis may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences are not reclassified, as they may reverse in subsequent periods.
Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated among the funds based on the ratio of net assets of each fund to the combined net assets of the Trust. Fund specific expenses are charged directly to the fund that incurred the expense.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, 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.
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 Consolidated Statement of Operations.
j. Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
k. 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.

These fees are allocated daily based upon their relative proportion of such classes’ aggregate net assets.
For the year ended May 31, 2014, the Fund paid transfer agent fees of $21,901, of which $20,299 was retained by Investor Services.
f. Investment in Institutional Fiduciary Trust Money Market Portfolio

9. 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.

Franklin Templeton International Trust
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund
9. CREDIT FACILITY (continued)
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 Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the year ended May 31, 2014, the Fund did not use the Global Credit Facility.
10. 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.

11. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-08, Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements. The ASU modifies the criteria used in defining an investment company under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and also sets forth certain measurement and disclosure requirements. Under the ASU, an entity that is registered under the 1940 Act automatically qualifies as an investment company. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013.

11. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)
Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, FASB issued 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.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Fund has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the consolidated financial statements and determined that no events have occurred that require disclosure other than those already disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated statement of investments, and the related consolidated statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the consolidated financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) at May 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at May 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Tax Information (unaudited)
Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund
Under Section 854(b)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code), the Fund hereby reports 17.38% of the ordinary income dividends as income qualifying for the dividends received deduction for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014.
Under Section 854(b)(1)(B) of the Code, the Fund hereby reports the maximum amount allowable but no less than $575,028 as qualified dividends for purposes of the maximum rate under Section 1(h)(11) of the Code for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014. Distributions, including qualified dividend income, paid during calendar year 2014 will be reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV by mid-February 2015. Shareholders are advised to check with their tax advisors for information on the treatment of these amounts on their individual income tax returns.
At May 31, 2013, more than 50% of the Fund’s total assets were invested in securities of foreign issuers. In most instances, foreign taxes were withheld from income paid to the Fund on these investments. As shown in the table below, the Fund hereby reports to shareholders the foreign source income and foreign taxes paid, pursuant to Section 853 of the Code. This written statement will allow shareholders of record on December 13, 2013, to treat their proportionate share of foreign taxes paid by the Fund as having been paid directly by them. The shareholder shall consider these amounts as foreign taxes paid in the tax year in which they receive the Fund distribution.
The following table provides a detailed analysis of foreign tax paid, foreign source income, and foreign source qualified dividends as reported by the Fund, to Class A, Class C, Class R, and Advisor Class shareholders of record.
| | | | | | |
| | Foreign Tax | | Foreign Source | | Foreign Source Qualified |
Class | | Paid Per Share | | Income Per Share | | Dividends Per Share |
Class A | $ | 0.0106 | $ | 0.1589 | $ | 0.0630 |
Class C | $ | 0.0106 | $ | 0.1277 | $ | 0.0508 |
Class R | $ | 0.0106 | $ | 0.1429 | $ | 0.0568 |
Advisor Class | $ | 0.0106 | $ | 0.1669 | $ | 0.0662 |
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. The amounts reported include foreign source qualified dividends that have not been adjusted for the rate differential applicable to such dividend income.1

Franklin Templeton International Trust
Tax Information (unaudited) (continued)
Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund
Foreign Source Qualified Dividends Per Share (Column 3) is the amount per share of foreign source qualified dividends, plus any foreign taxes withheld on these dividends. These amounts represent the portion of the Foreign Source Income reported to you in column 2 that were derived from qualified foreign securities held by the Fund.1
By mid-February 2014, shareholders received Form 1099-DIV which included their share of taxes paid and foreign source income distributed during the calendar year 2013. The Foreign Source Income reported on Form 1099-DIV has not been adjusted for the rate differential on foreign source qualified dividend income. Shareholders are advised to check with their tax advisors for information on the treatment of these amounts on their 2013 individual income tax returns.
1Qualified dividends are taxed at reduced long term capital gains tax rates. In determining the amount of foreign tax credit that may be applied
against the U.S. tax liability of individuals receiving foreign source qualified dividends, adjustments may be required to the foreign tax credit
limitation calculation to reflect the rate differential applicable to such dividend income. The rules however permit certain individuals to elect not
to apply the rate differential adjustments for capital gains and/or dividends for any taxable year. Please consult your tax advisor and the instructions
to Form 1116 for more information.

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

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 Funds within the Trust, including Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund (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 a report for each Fund 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 each Fund’s investment performance and expenses with those of other mutual funds deemed comparable to the Fund as selected by Lipper. 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 and an analysis concerning transfer agent fees charged by an affiliate of the Manager.
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 Fund and its shareholders. In addition to investment performance and expenses discussed later, the Board’s opinion was based, in part, upon periodic reports furnished it showing that the investment policies and restrictions for the 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

Board Review of Investment Management Agreement (continued)
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. The Board also noted the extent of benefits provided Fund shareholders from being part of the Franklin Templeton family of funds, including the right to exchange investments between the same class of funds without a sales charge, the ability to reinvest Fund dividends into other funds and the right to combine holdings in other funds to obtain a reduced sales charge. 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 the 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. The Board also took into account the quality of transfer agent and shareholder services provided Fund shareholders by an affiliate of the Manager and the continual enhancements to the Franklin Templeton website. 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 Fund 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. With respect to the Fund, the Board also took into account that the investment management arrangements for such Fund involved the use of a wholly owned Cayman Island subsidiary for certain holdings and that the Manager waives a portion of investment management fees from the Fund to the extent it receives investment management fees from such subsidiary corporation.
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Fund 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 renewal. The Lipper reports prepared for the Fund showed the investment performance of its
Annual Report | 71
Franklin Templeton International Trust
Shareholder Information (continued)
Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund
Board Review of Investment Management Agreement (continued)
Class A shares in comparison to a performance universe selected by Lipper. Comparative performance for the Fund was shown for the one-year period ended January 31, 2014, and previous periods ended that date as noted. The performance universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional global flexible portfolio funds. The Fund has been in operation for only two full years and the Lipper report showed its total return for the 12-month period ended January 31, 2014, to be in the middle performing quintile of such universe and to be in the second-lowest performing quintile of such universe for the annualized two-year period. The Board discussed with management anticipated changes to the portfolio processes but did not find such performance to be meaningful in view of the Fund’s limited period of operation.
COMPARATIVE EXPENSES. Consideration was given to a comparative analysis of the management fee and total expense ratio of the Fund compared with those of a group of other funds selected by Lipper as constituting 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 Fund’s contractual investment management fee in comparison with the investment management fee 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 as being part of the investment management fee, and actual total expenses, for comparative consistency, are shown by Lipper for Fund Class A shares. The Lipper report for the Fund showed both its contractual management fee rate and its actual total expense ratio to be below the median of its Lipper expense group. The Board was satisfied with the expenses of the Fund and noted that the Fund benefited from a waiver of fees.
MANAGEMENT PROFITABILITY. The Board also considered the level of profits realized by the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the operation of the 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

Shareholder Information (continued)
Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund
Board Review of Investment Management Agreement (continued)
and activity measurements has remained consistent with that used in the Fund’s profitability report presentations from prior years. Additionally, the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 the 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 shareholder services provided the Fund, as well as the need to implement systems and 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 revenues generated from transfer agent services and 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 the 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 Fund grows 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 the Fund and its shareholders through management fee breakpoints so that as a fund grows in size, its effective management fee rate declines. The asset level of the Fund was approximately $45 million on December 31, 2013, and the Board believed the size of the Fund afforded no meaningful economies of scale.

(iii) pre-approval of all non-audit related services to be provided to the registrant by the auditors to the registrant’s investment adviser or to any entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the registrant’s investment adviser and that provides ongoing services to the registrant where the non-audit services relate directly to the operations or financial reporting of the registrant; and
(iv) establishment by the audit committee, if deemed necessary or appropriate, as an alternative to committee pre-approval of services to be provided by the auditors, as required by paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above, of policies and procedures to permit such services to be pre-approved by other means, such as through establishment of guidelines or by action of a designated member or members of the committee; provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service and the committee is informed of each service and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of audit committee responsibilities, as contemplated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to management; subject, in the case of (ii) through (iv), to any waivers, exceptions or exemptions that may be available under applicable law or rules.
