About FGBRX

Templeton Global Bond Fund Class R is an actively managed mutual fund specializing in global bonds. Managed by Franklin Templeton Investments since its inception in 2009, the fund’s core objective is to deliver current income alongside the potential for capital appreciation. It achieves this by investing at least 80% of its assets in bonds, primarily issued by sovereign governments in both developed and emerging markets, providing broad access to diversified global fixed-income opportunities. The fund employs a flexible approach, often holding both investment-grade and select lower-quality issues, and may maintain significant exposures to non-U.S. dollar currencies depending on market conditions. Its portfolio includes a mix of government securities, derivatives for currency and interest rate positioning, and cash equivalents. With assets over $3 billion under management and an expense ratio of approximately 1.21%, the fund holds a notable position in the global bond fund category. This strategy makes Templeton Global Bond Fund Class R a significant player for investors seeking exposure to international fixed-income markets and currency diversification.
