I. As of January 1, 1997, the Fund began offering a third class of shares,
designated "Advisor Class." This prospectus describes the Class I and Class II
shares of the Fund. Class I, Class II and Advisor Class shares differ as to
sales charges, expenses and services. Different fees and expenses will affect
performance. Advisor Class shares are described in a separate prospectus
relating only to that class. For more information concerning Advisor Class
shares, contact your investment representative or Distributors. Additional
classes and series of shares may be offered in the future.
II. The discussion under "How Do I Buy Shares? - Cumulative Quantity Discounts
Class I Only." is amended by replacing it with the following text:
To determine if you may pay a reduced sales charge, the amount of your current
purchase is added to the cost or current value, whichever is higher, of your
shares in other Franklin Templeton Funds, as well as those of your spouse,
children under the age of 21 and grandchildren under the age of 21. If you are
the sole owner of a company, you may also add any company accounts, including
retirement plan accounts. Companies with one or more retirement plans may add
together the total plan assets invested in the Franklin Templeton Funds to
determine the sales charge that applies.
