FRANKLIN RESOURCES, INC.
Forward-Looking Statements
The financial results in this presentation are preliminary. Statements in this presentation regarding Franklin Resources, Inc. (“Franklin”) and its subsidiaries, which are not
historical facts, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  When used in this presentation, words or
phrases generally written in the future tense and/or preceded by words such as “will”, “may”, “could”, “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “seek”, “estimate” or
other similar words are forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors,
some of which are listed below, that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from any future results or outcomes expressed or implied by such forward-
looking statements.   Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future
conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to
predict. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of
future performance. 
These and other risks, uncertainties and other important factors are described in more detail in Franklin’s recent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
including, without limitation, in Risk Factors and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Franklin’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010:  (1) volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets, and adverse changes in the global economy, may
significantly affect our results of operations and may put pressure on our financial results; (2) the amount and mix of our assets under management are subject to
significant fluctuations; (3) we are subject to extensive and complex, overlapping and frequently changing rules, regulations and legal interpretations; (4) regulatory and
legislative actions and reforms have made the regulatory environment in which we operate more costly and future actions and reforms could adversely impact our assets
under management, increase costs and negatively impact our profitability and future financial results; (5) changes in tax laws or exposure to additional income tax liabilities
could have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity; (6) any significant limitation or failure of our software applications, technology or
other systems that are critical to our operations could constrain our operations; (7) our investment management business operations are complex and a failure to properly
perform operational tasks or the misrepresentation of our products and services could have an adverse effect on our revenues and income; (8) we face risks, and
corresponding potential costs and expenses, associated with conducting operations and growing our business in numerous countries; (9) we depend on key personnel and
our financial performance could be negatively affected by the loss of their services; (10) strong competition from numerous and sometimes larger companies with
competing offerings and products could limit or reduce sales of our products, potentially resulting in a decline in our market share, revenues and net income; (11) changes
in the third-party distribution and sales channels on which we depend could reduce our revenues and hinder our growth; (12) our increasing focus on international markets
as a source of investments and sales of investment products subjects us to increased exchange rate and other risks in connection with earnings and income generated
overseas; (13) poor investment performance of our products could affect our sales or reduce the level of assets under management, potentially negatively impacting our
revenues and income; (14) we could suffer losses in earnings or revenue if our reputation is harmed; (15) our future results are dependent upon maintaining an appropriate
level of expenses, which is subject to fluctuation; (16) our ability to successfully integrate widely varied business lines can be impeded by systems and other technological
limitations; (17) our inability to successfully recover should we experience a disaster or other business continuity problem could cause material financial loss, loss of human
capital, regulatory actions, reputational harm or legal liability; (18) certain of the portfolios we manage, including our emerging market portfolios, are vulnerable to significant
market-specific political, economic or other risks, any of which may negatively impact our revenues and income; (19) our revenues, earnings and income could be
adversely affected if the terms of our management agreements are significantly altered or these agreements are terminated by the funds and other sponsored investment
products we advise; (20) regulatory and governmental examinations and/or investigations, civil litigation relating to previously-settled regulatory and governmental
investigations, and the legal risks associated with our business, could adversely impact our assets under management, increase costs and negatively impact our
profitability and/or our future financial results; (21) our ability to meet cash needs depends upon certain factors, including the market value of our assets, operating cash
flows and our perceived creditworthiness; (22) diverse and strong competition limits the interest rates that we can charge on consumer loans; (23) our business could be
negatively affected if we or our banking subsidiaries fail to remain well capitalized, and liquidity needs could affect our banking business; and (24) we are dependent on the
earnings of our subsidiaries.
Any forward-looking statement made by us in this presentation speaks only as of the date on which it is made.  Factors or events that could cause our actual results to
differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement,
whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
The information in this presentation is provided solely in connection with this presentation, and is not directed toward existing or potential investment
advisory clients or fund shareholders.

1 Lipper rankings for Franklin Templeton U.S.-registered long-term mutual funds are based on Class A shares.   Franklin Templeton funds are compared against a universe of all share classes.  Performance
rankings for other share classes may differ.  Lipper calculates averages by taking all the funds and share classes in a peer group and averaging their total returns for the periods indicated.  Lipper tracks 147
peer groups of U.S. retail mutual funds, and the groups vary in size from 7 to 1,107 funds.  Lipper total return calculations include reinvested dividends and capital gains, but do not include sales charges of
expense subsidization by the manager.  Results may have been different if these or other factors had been considered.  Performance quoted above represents past performance, which cannot predict or
guarantee future results.
