Franklin Conservative Allocation Fund

Important Legal Information

• CFA® and Chartered Financial Analyst® are trademarks owned by CFA Institute.
• Indexes are unmanaged, and one cannot invest directly in an index. Index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges.
• Total Returns include change in share price, assume reinvestment of all distributions, and reflect the deduction of fund expenses and applicable fees. Total Returns With Sales Charge: returns reflect the deduction of the stated sales charge. Total returns, distribution rate, and yields reflect any applicable expense reductions, without which the results for those impacted funds would have been lower.
• Your clients should carefully consider a fund's investment goals, risks, charges and expenses before investing. Download a prospectus, which contains this and other information. Your clients should read the prospectus carefully before they invest or send money.
• All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. The Fund's ability to achieve its investment goal depends upon the investment manager's skill in determining the Fund's broad asset allocation mix and selecting underlying funds. Because this fund invests in underlying funds, it is subject to the same risks, and indirectly bears the fees and expenses, of the underlying funds. Stock prices fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and dramatically, due to factors affecting individual companies, particular industries or sectors, or general market conditions. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as the prices of bonds in a fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, that fund's share price may decline. These risks are described in the fund's prospectus. Investors should consult their financial professional for help selecting the appropriate fund of funds, or fund combination, based on an evaluation of their investment objectives and risk tolerance.

Footnotes

1. The expense ratio for this fund includes estimated indirect expenses of its underlying funds.
2. A statistical measurement of the range of a fund's total returns. In general, a higher standard deviation means greater volatility. Based on the fund's monthly returns over the 3-year period ended as of the date of the calculation.
3. A statistical measurement of a fund's historical risk-adjusted performance. It is calculated by taking a fund's excess return over that of the three-month Treasury bill divided by its standard deviation. Higher values generally indicate better historical risk-adjusted performance. Based on the 3 years ended as of the date of the calculation.
4. The annualized percentage difference between a fund's actual returns and its expected performance given its level of market risk, as measured by beta. Based on the 3-year period ended as of the date of the calculation.
5. Percentage of the fund's returns explained by movements in the Blended Benchmark.
6. Public Offering Price — Purchase price for each share of the fund on a given day. It includes the maximum initial sales charge, if any.
7. Net Asset Value — The amount per share you would receive if you sold shares that day.
8. Source: Morningstar®. For each mutual fund and exchange traded fund with at least a 3-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on how a fund ranks on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure against other funds in the same category. This measure takes into account variations in a fund's monthly performance, and does not take into account the effects of sales charges and loads, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The weights are: 100% 3-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% 5-year rating/40% 3-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% 5-year rating/20% 3-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent 3-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Morningstar Rating is for the named share class only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. Past performance is not an indicator or a guarantee of future performance.

10. As of January 1, 2013, the Fund changed its target allocations, with short-term investments (formerly a targeted allocation of 20%) now combined into the fixed income fund target allocation; such a change can impact performance.
11. The fund indirectly bears the fees and expenses of the underlying fund.
12. For net asset value (NAV) purchases, a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) may apply to shares redeemed within 18 months.
13. Prior to 9/10/18, these shares were offered at a higher initial sales charge of 5.75%; thus actual returns would have differed. Total returns with sales charges have been restated to reflect the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.50%.
14. A measure of the fund's volatility relative to the market, as represented by the Blended Benchmark. Effective January 1, 2015, the Blended Benchmark changed to 40% MSCI AC World Index and 60% Barclays Multiverse Index. From January 1, 2013 - December 31, 2014, the Blended Benchmark comprised of 28% S&P 500 Index, 12% MSCI EAFE Index and 60% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index. Prior to January 1, 2013, the Blended Benchmark was comprised of 28% S&P 500 Index, 12% MSCI EAFE Index, 40% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index and 20% Payden and Rygel 90 Day T-Bill Index. A beta greater than 1.00 indicates volatility greater than the market. Based on the 3-year period ended as of the date of the calculation.
15. The Linked Franklin Conservative Allocation Fund Benchmark-NR reflects the performance of 28% S&P 500 Index, 12% MSCI EAFE Index, 40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index and 20% Payden & Rygel 90 Day U.S. T-Bill Index from fund inception to 12/31/2000; 28% S&P 500 Index, 12% MSCI EAFE Index-NR, 40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index and 20% Payden & Rygel 90 Day U.S. T-Bill Index from 1/1/2001 to 12/31/2012; 28% S&P 500 Index, 12% MSCI EAFE Index-NR and 60% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index from 1/1/2013 to 12/31/14; and 40% MSCI AC World Index-NR and 60% Bloomberg Barclays Multiverse Index thereafter. Such a change can impact performance. Net Returns (NR) include income net of tax withholding when dividends are paid.
