Semiannual Report
Franklin Global Allocation Fund
(formerly, Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund)
This semiannual report for Franklin Global Allocation Fund covers the period ended November 30, 2014.
Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments
The 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.
Performance Overview
The Fund’s Class A shares had a -0.97% cumulative total return for the six months under review. In comparison, the Fund’s benchmark had a -1.10% total return.1 The benchmark is a combination of MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI),2 which measures stock performance in developed and emerging markets; Citigroup World Government Bond Index (WGBI),2 which measures performance of investment-grade world government bonds; Bloomberg Commodity Index,2,3 which measures performance of exchange-traded futures contracts on physical commodities; and Payden & Rygel (P&R) 90 Day U.S. Treasury Bill (T-Bill) Index,4 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 8.
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. Please visit franklintempleton.com or call (800) 342-5236 for most recent month-end performance.
*The figures shown reflect derivatives held in the portfolio. See footnote 5.
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 continued to expand. U.S. economic growth trends were generally encouraging during the period. Economic activity improved in the third quarter of 2014, resulting largely from increased consumer spending, business investments, federal defense spending and a narrower trade deficit. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed) ended its

the P&R 90 Day U.S. T-Bill Index, rebalanced monthly. For the period from 5/31/14 through 11/30/14, the MSCI ACWI had a +2.13% total return, the Citigroup WGBI
had a -3.82% total return, the Bloomberg Commodity Index had a -15.60% total return, and the P&R 90 Day U.S. T-Bill Index had a +0.02% total return.

The indexes are unmanaged and include reinvestment of any income or distributions. One cannot invest directly in an index, and an index is not representative of the
Fund’s portfolio.
5. Breakdown figures are intended to illustrate the Fund’s estimated exposure to various asset classes, countries, currencies, sectors, or other categories as a percentage
of the Fund’s total exposure, and reflect both direct and indirect (long and short) exposures through the Fund’s use of derivatives, such as swaps, forwards, futures and
options. The use of derivative instruments may allow tactical adjustments to be made quickly and efficiently, and the historical data provided may differ significantly from the
Fund’s current allocations.
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).

asset purchase program in October, after gradually reducing its purchases during the six-month period, based on its view that underlying economic strength could support ongoing progress in labor market conditions. The Fed reaffirmed it would maintain its near-zero interest rate policy for a “considerable time” and stated its actions to normalize monetary policy remained dependent on economic performance.
Outside the U.S., the U.K. economy grew relatively well, supported by the services and manufacturing sectors. U.K. gross domestic product (GDP) continued to expand in the third quarter. In the eurozone, economic growth remained subdued as concerns persisted about the potential negative impacts to growth from the crisis in Ukraine and tension in the Middle East. In June, the European Central Bank (ECB) reduced its main interest rate and for the first time set a negative deposit rate; the ECB reduced both rates again in September. The ECB broadened its monetary easing stance by implementing an asset purchase program to prevent deflation and stimulate the economy.
In Japan, second- and third-quarter GDP contractions indicated the economy was in a recession. However, private consumption and exports improved in the third quarter. In October, the Bank of Japan expanded its stimulus measures amid weak domestic demand following a sales tax hike and as substantially lower crude oil prices exerted further downward pressure on inflation. In November, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called an early parliamentary election and postponed a second sales tax increase scheduled for October 2015, as he sought to expand the mandate for his economic policies.
In several emerging markets, economic growth moderated in the third quarter. However, Brazil exited recession as government spending prior to presidential elections drove third-quarter GDP growth. Emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, ended the six-month period relatively flat, amid headwinds such as soft domestic demand and weak exports in several countries, as well as concerns about the timing of U.S. interest rate increases and geopolitical tensions in certain regions. Many emerging market currencies depreciated against the U.S. dollar, leading central banks in several countries to raise interest rates in an effort to curb inflation and support their currencies. Several other central banks lowered interest rates to promote economic growth.
After implementing monetary stimulus measures to support specific sectors, China’s central bank increased its efforts to bolster the economy by cutting its benchmark interest rates for the first time since July 2012.
As measured by the MSCI World Index, stocks in global developed markets advanced overall during the six-month period amid a generally accommodative monetary policy environment, continued strength in corporate earnings and signs of an economic recovery. Global government and corporate bonds performed well in local currency terms as interest rates in many developed market countries remained at historical lows. However, the U.S. dollar’s appreciation against most currencies led these bonds to post losses in U.S. dollar terms. Commodity prices overall ended lower for the period, as measured by the Bloomberg Commodity Index, driven by steep declines in crude oil prices resulting from weak global demand growth and strong world supply. Gold prices declined amid benign global inflation and a strong U.S. dollar.
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

FRANKLIN GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND
instruments, and 10% cash and derivative instruments. We manage the Fund’s allocation to commodities, 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 fundamentals 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, commodity, 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.6 The Fund may, from time to time, have a net short position in certain asset classes, regions, currencies and sectors.
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 an asset at a specific price on a future date.
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 swap agreement?
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 six-month period ended November 30, 2014, the Fund’s multi-asset portfolio’s Class A shares performed better than its blended benchmark. An overweighted allocation to global equities contributed, as did relative value positioning among specific countries. An underweighted allocation to sovereign developed fixed income markets also added value, as did selection across those markets. Currency positions overall, through the use of currency forwards, contributed significantly to relative performance. An underweighting in commodities, which declined during the period, also helped relative results.
Baseline Strategic Allocation
At period-end, the Fund’s largest asset class exposure was to global equities, which was consistent with the significant structural weight of these assets within our baseline strategic allocation. Regionally, the largest equity weightings were in North America and Europe, with the U.S., the U.K. and Germany making up the largest country exposures. The U.S. finished the period as the largest country overweighting relative to the blended benchmark’s equity portion, followed by Hong Kong and Germany. Conversely, the largest underweightings were in Australia, Taiwan and Canada. Within the fixed income allocation, the largest regional allocation at period-end was to Europe. At the country level, the largest fixed income exposures were to Italy, Australia and Canada. Relative to the blended benchmark’s fixed income portion, the largest country overweightings were in Italy and Australia, followed by South Korea, which is not part of the Citigroup WGBI. The largest fixed income underweightings were in Germany, the U.S. and Japan.
6. A long position may involve the purchase of a security, commodity or currency, or the use of derivatives, with the expectation that the asset or underlying asset will
subsequently rise in value. A short position may involve the sale of a borrowed security, commodity or currency, or the use of derivatives, with the expectation that the
asset or underlying asset will subsequently fall in value.

Tactical Asset Allocation
At period-end, the portfolio’s tactical asset allocation included allocations to developed and emerging market equities and developed market fixed income, in addition to currency positions. Equity allocations, through the use of index futures, included long positions in German, Spanish, Japanese, Hong Kong and U.S. stocks, as well as short positions in Australian, U.K., and Dutch stocks. Within fixed income, the Fund maintained, through the use of futures contracts, net long positions in Italian, Canadian and Australian government bonds, as well as net short positions in U.S. Treasuries, German Bunds and U.K. gilts. The currency component of the tactical asset allocation included net long positions in the U.S. dollar, British pound, Norwegian krone and Australian dollar and net short exposures to the Japanese yen, British pound, Swiss franc and euro, achieved through currency forwards.
Equity
For the overall portfolio, the Fund’s overweighting in equities relative to its blended benchmark added value. However, results from certain country selections limited gains. An overweighting in European markets was a major detractor, including overweighted allocations to Germany, Italy and the U.K. Security selection in Germany helped offset some of the negative effects of an overweighting in the region. In Asia, security selection more than offset the small negative effect of an overweighting, particularly in South Korea, which weakened over the period. The Fund’s positioning in Japanese stocks contributed to relative results. In North America, stock selection in the U.S. hurt relative performance, as did stock selection in Canada, particularly in energy stocks.
Fixed Income
For the overall portfolio, an underweighted allocation to sovereign developed market fixed income generally supported relative performance, as bond market returns were generally negative across the countries included in the Citigroup WGBI. Selection across fixed income markets generally contributed to relative performance. Avoidance of Japanese government bonds aided relative returns. Additionally, a preference for Italian bonds over German Bunds helped relative results, as the yield spread between these bonds narrowed over the period. In contrast, overweighted positions in several emerging markets, including South Korea, Poland and Mexico, detracted from relative performance.
Currencies
Overall, currency positions were major contributors to the Fund’s performance relative to the blended benchmark. The euro and Japanese yen depreciated against the U.S. dollar during the period, leading net short positions in these currencies, achieved through currency forward contracts, to enhance relative performance. The Swiss franc and Swedish krona also weakened against the U.S. dollar, and net short positions in these currencies aided relative performance. Somewhat offsetting these gains were long positions in the British pound, established in the latter half of the period, and the Norwegian krone.

FRANKLIN GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
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. The market values of securities owned by the Fund will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting individual issuers, securities markets generally or sectors within the securities markets. 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. Foreign investing carries additional risks such as currency and market volatility and political or social instability, risks that are heightened in less developed or emerging market countries. Derivatives, including currency management strategies, involve costs and can create economic leverage in the portfolio, which may result in significant volatility and cause the Fund to participate in losses (as well as gains) in an amount that significantly 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 is subject to those same risks. These and other 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.
Class C: These shares have higher annual fees and expenses than Class A shares.
Class R: Shares are available to certain eligible investors as described in the prospectus. These shares have higher annual fees and expenses than Class A shares.
Advisor Class: Shares are available to certain eligible investors as described in the prospectus.
1. The Fund has an expense reduction contractually guaranteed through at least 9/30/15, a fee waiver related to the management fee paid by a subsidiary and a fee waiver
associated with its investments in a Franklin Templeton money fund, contractually guaranteed through at least its current fiscal year-end. Fund investment results reflect the
expense reduction and fee waivers, to the extent applicable; without these reductions, the results would have been lower.
2. Cumulative total return represents the change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.
3. Average annual total return represents the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. Six-month return has not been annualized.
4. These figures represent the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the periods indicated.
5. In accordance with SEC rules, we provide standardized average annual total return information through the latest calendar quarter.
6. Figures are as stated in the Fund’s current prospectus. In periods of market volatility, assets may decline significantly, causing total annual Fund operating expenses to
become higher than the figures shown.

FRANKLIN GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND
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, distribu- tion 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.
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 INTERNATIONAL TRUST
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Franklin 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 and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). Franklin 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, Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund was renamed 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 NAV.
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

Franklin Global Allocation Fund (continued)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)
a. Financial Instrument Valuation (continued)
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.
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 gains and losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period.
c. Securities Purchased on a When-Issued 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

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON INTERNATIONAL TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Franklin Global Allocation Fund (continued)
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 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 creditworthiness of all potential counterpar-ties. 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 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 coun-terparty 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 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 instrument. A total return swap is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange a return linked to an underlying instrument for a floating or fixed rate payment, both based upon a notional amount. The underlying instrument can be a stock or bond, a basket of stocks or bonds, a stock index, or credit index. Over the term of the contract, contractually required payments to be paid or received are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the payments are made, at which time they are recognized as realized gain or loss.
See Note 8 regarding other derivative information.
e. Restricted Cash
At November 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 Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
f. Exchange Traded Notes
The Fund purchases exchange traded notes. Exchange traded notes are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated 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.
g. Investments 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 company with limited liability, 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 November 30, 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 November 30, 2014, the net assets of the GAF Subsidiary were $2,219,866, representing 5.58% of the Fund’s consolidated net assets. The Fund’s investment in the GAF Subsidiary is limited to 25% of consolidated assets.
h. 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.
i. 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
42 | Semiannual Report
franklintempleton.com
FRANKLIN TEMPLETON INTERNATIONAL TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Franklin Global Allocation Fund (continued)
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 November 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 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.
j. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities are included in interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recognized as soon as the Fund is notified of the ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined according to income tax regulations (tax basis). Distributable earnings determined on a tax basis may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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.
k. 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.
l. Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified by the Trust against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

5. Income Taxes
At November 30, 2014, the cost of investments and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for income tax purposes were as follows:
Cost of investments | $ | 35,425,067 | |
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 5,294,125 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (2,496,645 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ | 2,797,480 |
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, wash sales and financial futures transactions.
6. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investments (excluding short term securities) for the period ended November 30, 2014, aggregated $9,155,947 and $10,882,106, respectively.

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.

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.
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 period ended November 30, 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 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.
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.
