Annual Report
Franklin Global Allocation Fund
(formerly, Franklin Templeton Global Allocation Fund)
We are pleased to bring you Franklin Global Allocation Fund’s annual report for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015. Effective at the close of market on April 20, 2015, the Fund was closed to all new investors with limited exceptions, and the Fund closed to all investments on or about June 23, 2015. The Fund was scheduled to liquidate on June 30, 2015, but on June 26, 2015, the Board of Trustees approved a proposal to delay the termination and liquidation of the Fund due to delays in liquidating certain portfolio securities. The termination and liquidation of the Fund is now anticipated to occur following the sale of the portfolio securities, but may occur earlier at the discretion of the Trust’s officers if circumstances change. As a reminder, shareholders of the Fund may redeem their shares at any time before the liquidation without incurring any contingent deferred sales charges or other fees.
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 delivered a +3.83% cumulative total return for the 12 months under review. In comparison, the Fund’s benchmark generated a +1.48% 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 7.
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.
1. The Fund’s blended benchmark is currently weighted 50% for the MSCI ACWI, 35% for the Citigroup WGBI, 5% for the Bloomberg Commodity Index and 10% for the
P&R 90 Day U.S. T-Bill Index, rebalanced monthly. For the period from 5/31/14 through 5/31/15, the MSCI ACWI had a +5.62% total return, the Citigroup WGBI had a
-8.04% total return, the Bloomberg Commodity Index had a -24.55% total return, and the P&R 90 Day U.S. T-Bill Index had a +0.03% total return.

FRANKLIN GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND
Economic and Market Overview
The global economy expanded moderately during the 12 months under review despite slowing growth in some countries. As measured by the MSCI World Index, stocks in global developed markets advanced overall during the 12-month period amid a generally accommodative monetary policy environment and signs of economic improvement in Europe and Japan. Prices of oil and other commodities declined sharply during the 12-month period owing largely to strong global supply.
U.S. economic growth moderated, especially in the second half of the period. In 2015’s first quarter, low energy prices, U.S. dollar strength and a labor dispute at West Coast ports led exports to decline. Lower business investment and state and local government spending also weighed on the economy, while increases in consumer spending and private inventory investment offered some support. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed) ended its bond buying program in October 2014 and kept its target interest rate at 0%–0.25% while considering when it might be appropriate to raise it. In its April meeting, the Fed attributed the economy’s first-quarter slowdown to transitory factors. The Fed reiterated that it would raise interest rates when it saw further improvement in the labor market and was reasonably confident that inflation would move back to its 2% objective over the medium term.
Outside the U.S., the U.K. economy grew relatively well through 2014, aided by the services and manufacturing sectors but moderated in 2015’s first quarter as the construction, mining and agriculture sectors contracted. Near period-end, the Conservative Party’s unexpected victory in the U.K. general elections supported investor sentiment. In the eurozone, economic growth improved during the 12-month period. Spain expanded at a solid pace, and France and Italy returned to growth in 2015’s first quarter. However, Germany, the region’s largest economy, slowed during the first quarter amid sluggish exports. In June and September 2014, the European Central Bank (ECB) reduced interest rates. The ECB also expanded asset purchases to boost inflation and the economy. Despite deflationary pressures and the crisis in Ukraine, the region benefited from lower oil prices, a weaker euro that helped exports, the ECB’s accommodative policy and an improved 2015 eurozone growth forecast.
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) broadened its stimulus measures amid weak domestic demand and lower inflation. In December, Japan’s ruling coalition was reelected and announced a new stimulus package to revive economic growth. The country exited recession in the fourth quarter, supported largely by exports. The Japanese economy continued to grow in 2015’s first quarter, driven by an increase in private demand as business investment and private consumption rose. Near period-end, the BOJ lowered its economic growth and inflation forecasts and maintained its monetary policy.
In emerging markets, economic growth generally moderated. Brazil continued to face headwinds such as high inflation, lower commodity prices and a severe drought. To reduce a widening fiscal deficit and regain investors’ confidence after a first-quarter decline in growth, Brazil’s government approved austerity measures that curbed social security and labor benefits. Central bank actions varied across emerging markets, as some banks raised interest rates in response to rising inflation and weakening currencies, while others lowered interest rates to promote economic growth. In the recent global environment, emerging market stocks, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, were fairly flat for the 12-month period.
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 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
4 | Annual Report
franklintempleton.com
FRANKLIN GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUNDand 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.5 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 underlying instrument or
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 12-month period ended May 31, 2015, the Fund’s multi-asset portfolio’s Class A shares outperformed its blended benchmark, driven primarily by selection across the fixed income and currency markets. The Fund’s overweighted equity allocation also contributed to relative performance.
Baseline Strategic Allocation
At period-end, the Fund’s largest asset class exposure was to short-term investments, resulting from the investment manager’s decision to liquidate the Fund. Global equities represented the second-largest holding, followed by fixed income. Regionally, the largest equity weightings were in North America and Europe, with the U.S., the U.K. and China making up the

largest country exposures. Relative to the blended benchmark’s equity portion, the largest country overweightings were in China, Denmark and Russia, while the U.S. and Japan represented our largest underweightings. Within the fixed income allocation, the largest regional allocations at period-end were to North America and Latin America, and our largest country exposures were to the U.S., Mexico and Malaysia. Relative to the blended benchmark’s fixed income portion, the largest country overweightings were in Mexico and Malaysia. The largest fixed income underweightings were in the U.S., Japan and France.
Tactical Asset Allocation
At period end, the portfolio’s tactical asset allocation was limited to allocations to several currency markets. These positions included long positions in the U.S. dollar and Norwegian krone and short positions in the Canadian dollar, euro and Japanese yen, achieved through currency forwards.
Equity
For the overall portfolio, the equity portion positively contributed to performance, outperforming the blended benchmark. Positioning within Asia was a major contributor, driven by overweighted allocations to China and Hong Kong. Security selection in Japanese equities also added value, although an underweighting in that market limited gains. Security selection across Europe aided performance, led by currency-hedged positions in Germany and Spain. Despite the overall positive
5. A long position involves 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.

contribution to return, some areas of our equity holdings hurt relative performance. An underweighted allocation to the U.S. weighed on performance, as it was among the strongest markets over the period. Short positions in developing markets equities also hindered performance.
Fixed Income
For the overall portfolio, our fixed income holdings detracted on an absolute basis but outperformed relative to the blended benchmark. In general, a significant underweighting to developed markets added value, as those markets broadly underperformed. A focus on shorter duration assets also benefited performance as these issues saw smaller losses relative to the broad index. A hedge against rising global interest rates, achieved primarily through a short position in U.K. gilt debt securities, detracted from relative performance as yields on those issues moved lower over the period. Exposure to several emerging debt markets, including Poland, Mexico and Hungary, also detracted.
Currencies
Overall, currency positions were positive contributors to performance in absolute terms and relative to the blended benchmark. A significant underweighting in the euro was a major contributor, as the euro depreciated against the U.S. dollar during the period. A short position in the Japanese yen, achieved through currency forward contracts, was another driver of positive performance. However, overweightings in several emerging market currencies, including positions in the South Korean won and Polish zloty, detracted from performance.

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. Stock prices fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, 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 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. Derivative instruments, including currency management strategies, involve costs and can create economic leverage in the Fund’s 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 intended 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, 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
Franklin Global Allocation Fund
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Franklin Templeton International Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (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. The Fund was closed to new investors effective April 20, 2015.
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 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 primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Policies (continued)
a. Financial Instrument Valuation (continued)
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.
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 in 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. 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
36 | Annual Report

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON INTERNATIONAL TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Franklin Global Allocation Fund (continued)
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 in 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 terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For OTC derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, posting of collateral is required by either the fund or the applicable counterparty if the total net exposure of all OTC derivatives with the applicable counterparty exceeds the minimum transfer amount, which typically ranges from $100,000 to $250,000, and can vary depending on the counterparty and the type of the agreement. Generally, collateral is determined at the close of fund business each day and any additional collateral required due to changes in derivative values may be delivered by the fund or the counterparty within a few business days. Collateral pledged and/or received by the fund, if any, is held in segregated accounts with the fund’s custodian/counterparty broker and can be in the form of cash and/or securities. Unrestricted cash may be invested according to the Fund’s investment objectives.
The Fund entered into 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 in 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 in 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. 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.

Franklin Global Allocation Fund (continued)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)
d. Restricted Cash
At May 31, 2015, the Fund held 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, 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.
f. Investments in GAF Holdings Corporation (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 May 31, 2015, 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, 2015, the net assets of the GAF Subsidiary were $870,605, representing 2.56% of the Fund’s consolidated 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, 2015, 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’s 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 for certain dividends from foreign securities where the

dividend rate is not available. In such cases, the dividend is recorded as soon as the information is received by the Fund. 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 in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
j. 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.
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.

9. Upcoming Liquidation
On April 14, 2015, the Board approved a proposal to liquidate the Fund. The Fund was scheduled to liquidate on June 30, 2015.
On June 26, 2015, the Board approved a proposal to delay the termination and liquidation of the Fund due to delays in liquidating certain portfolio securities. The termination and liquidation of the Fund is now anticipated to occur following the sale of the portfolio securities, but may occur earlier at the discretion of the Trust’s officers if circumstances change. Additionally, Management informed the Board of its intent to waive all fees and expenses effective July 1, 2015 until liquidation of the Fund.
10. 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 $2 billion (Global Credit Facility) which matures on February 12, 2016. 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 in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the year ended May 31, 2015, the Fund did not use the Global Credit Facility.

11. 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.
A summary of inputs used as of May 31, 2015, in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value, is as follows:

12. 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.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON INTERNATIONAL TRUST
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Franklin 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 Global Allocation Fund and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Fund”) at May 31, 2015, the results of their consolidated operations for the year then ended, the changes in their consolidated net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the consolidated 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, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 9, the Investment Manager is in the process of completing the liquidation of the Fund, after which the Fund will cease all operations. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
By mid-February 2015, shareholders received Form 1099-DIV which included their share of taxes paid and foreign source income distributed during the calendar year 2014. 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 2014 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 understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements, the general application of
such principles in connection with the accounting estimates, accruals and reserves, and analyzing and evaluating financial statements that present a breadth
and level of complexity of accounting issues generally comparable to those of the Fund, as well as an understanding of internal controls and procedures for
financial reporting and an understanding of audit committee functions. Mr. Wilson is an independent Board member as that term is defined under the relevant
Securities and Exchange Commission Rules and Releases.

Shareholder Information
Board Review of Investment Management Agreement
At a meeting held April 14, 2015, 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 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, as well as marketing support payments made to financial intermediaries. 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 report discussed the profitability to Franklin Templeton Investments (FTI) 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 FTI 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. The Board also noted that at the February meetings each year, it receives an annual report on all marketing support payments made by FTI to financial intermediaries.
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, except as noted later with respect to investment performance. 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 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 shares of different 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 effective business continuity plans and developing strategies to address cybersecurity threats. 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 that 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, noting the changes taking place in the nature of transfer agency services throughout the industry and regulatory initiatives in this area, and the

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 FTI 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 continued 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 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, 2015, and previous periods ended that date of up to 10 years unless otherwise noted.
The performance universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional flexible portfolio funds as selected by Lipper. The Fund has been in operation for only three full years and the Lipper report showed its total return for the 12-month period ended January 31, 2015, to be in the lowest performing quintile of such performance universe, and to also be in the lowest performing quintile of such universe for the annualized three-year period. The Board found the Fund’s overall comparative performance as set forth in the Lipper report to be unacceptable but acknowledged the Fund’s relatively short period of effectiveness. The Board discussed with management the structural limitations in the Fund’s design and the Fund’s conservative investment objective, which have contributed to underperformance. They further discussed management’s proposal to liquidate the Fund. In light of this proposal, and changes to portfolio management anticipated prior to the liquidation, the Board determined that management was taking the appropriate steps to address the performance of the Fund.
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 its contractual management fee rate to be at the median of its Lipper expense group and its actual total expense ratio to be below the median. 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, 2014, 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

Board Review of Investment Management
Agreement (continued) methodologies in response to organizational and product related changes, the overall approach as defined by the primary drivers and activity measurements has remained consistent with that used in the 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, potential benefits resulting from personnel and systems enhancements necessitated by fund growth, as well as increased leverage with the service providers and counterparties. 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 $37 million on December 31, 2014, and the Board believed the size of the Fund afforded no meaningful economies of scale.
