Templeton Emerging Markets Fund
NOTES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION
Templeton Emerging Markets Fund (Fund) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a closed-end investment company.
2. SECURITY VALUATION
Securities listed on a securities 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. Over-the-counter securities and listed securities for
which there is no reported sale 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. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset
value.
Foreign securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock
exchange on which the security is primarily traded, or the NYSE, whichever is
earlier. If no sale is reported at that time, the foreign security will be
valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. The value
is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate
in effect at the close of the NYSE on the day that the value of the foreign
security is determined. Occasionally, events may impact the availability or
reliability of foreign exchange rates used to convert to 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 Fund's
Board of Trustees.
The Fund has procedures to determine the fair value of individual securities and
other assets for which market prices are not readily available or which may not
be reliably priced. Methods for valuing these securities may include:
fundamental analysis, matrix pricing, discounts from market prices of similar
securities, or discounts applied due to the nature and duration of restrictions
on the disposition of the securities. Due to the inherent uncertainty of
valuations of such securities, the fair values may differ significantly from the
values that would have been used had a ready market for such investments
existed. Occasionally, events occur between the time at which trading in a
security is completed and the close of the NYSE that might call into question
the availability (including the reliability) of the value of a portfolio
security held by the Fund. The investment manager 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 Depository
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. If such an event
occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may
include the use of independent pricing services. All security valuation
procedures are approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees.

3. INCOME TAXES
At May 31, 2009, the cost of investments and net unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) for income tax purposes were as follows:
Cost of investments ............................. $205,506,617
------------
Unrealized appreciation ......................... $ 78,932,930
Unrealized depreciation ......................... (28,233,195)
------------
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) ...... $ 50,699,735
============
4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 157,
"Fair Value Measurement" (SFAS 157), on September 1, 2008. SFAS 157 defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. The Fund has determined that the implementation
of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements.
SFAS 157 establishes 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 investments and are summarized in the following fair
value hierarchy:
- Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
- Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices
for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk,
etc.)
- Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of
the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At May 31, 2009, all of the Fund's investments in securities carried at fair
value were in Level 1 inputs.

5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2009, FASB issued FASB Staff Position FSP FAS 157-4, "Determining Fair
Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have
Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly" (FSP
FAS 157-4), which provides additional guidance when the volume and level of
activity for the asset or liability measured at fair value have significantly
decreased. Additionally, FSP FAS 157-4 amends SFAS 157, expanding disclosure
requirements by reporting entities surrounding the major categories of assets
and liabilities carried at fair value. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim
and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Fund believes applying FSP
FAS 157-4 will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In May 2009, FASB issued Statement No. 165, "Subsequent Events", which is
intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of
events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the statements are
issued or are available to be issued. FASB 165 is effective for interim or
annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, the adoption of FASB 165
will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

(a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. The Registrant maintains
disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in the Registrant's filings under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and
forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such information is accumulated
and communicated to the Registrant's management, including its principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Registrant's management,
including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer,
recognizes that any set of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed
and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired
control objectives.

Holdings on Form N-Q, the Registrant had carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of the Registrant's management, including
the Registrant's principal executive officer and the Registrant's principal
financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the
Registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer
concluded that the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures are
effective.
(b) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS. There have been no significant changes in the
Registrant's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect the internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation in
connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Schedule of Portfolio Holdings
on Form N-Q.
