Templeton Emerging Markets Income Fund
Notes to Statement of Investments (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Templeton Emerging Markets Income Fund (Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940
act) as a closed end management investment company and applies the specialized accounting and reporting
guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
2. 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 as of 4 p.m. Eastern time each day the
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for trading. Under compliance policies and procedures approved by the
Funds Board of Trustees (the Board), the Funds 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 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 4 p.m. Eastern time,
whichever is earlier. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in
effect at 4 p.m. Eastern time 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.
Debt securities generally trade in the over the counter (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.
Investments in open end mutual funds are valued at the closing NAV.
Derivative financial instruments (derivatives) listed on an exchange are valued at the official closing price of the
day. Certain derivatives trade in the OTC market. The Funds 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 Funds 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 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 Funds 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 Funds 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.
3. 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.
Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through a formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential
counterparties. 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. 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 counterparty 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 Funds 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 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 for 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. 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.
4. INCOME TAXES
At November 30, 2015, the cost of investments and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for income tax
purposes were as follows:
Cost of investments | $ | 641,618,056 | |
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 9,455,284 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (103,250,803 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ | (93,795,519 | ) |
5. CONCENTRATION OF RISK
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.
6. RESTRICTED SECURITIES
At November 30, 2015, the Fund held investments in restricted securities, excluding certain securities exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 deemed to be liquid, as follows:
Principal Amount / | Acquisition | ||||||

7. INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES
The Fund invests in an affiliated management investment company for purposes other than exercising a controlling influence over the management or policies. Management fees paid by the Fund are waived on assets invested in the affiliated management investment company, in an amount not to exceed the management and administrative fees paid directly or indirectly by each affiliate. Prior to August 31, 2013 the waiver was accounted for as a reduction to management fees.

8. 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:
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 November 30, 2015, in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value,
is as follows:
