Franklin LifeSmart 2040 Retirement Target 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.
• The investment risk of the retirement target fund changes over time as its asset allocation changes. Since the fund invests in underlying funds, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which may engage in a variety of investment strategies involving certain risks, the Franklin LifeSmart 2040 Retirement Target Fund is subject to those same risks. All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Principal invested is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the fund's retirement target date; nor is there any guarantee that the fund will provide sufficient income at or through the investor's retirement. 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 the fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the fund's share price may decline. Foreign investing carries additional risks such as currency and market volatility and political or social instability, risks which are heightened in developing countries. These risks are described more fully 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, retirement time horizons and risk tolerance.
• 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.
• Effective 1/29/2021, the fund modified the landing point of its glide path (the strategic asset allocation of a target date fund over time) to be in line with the new required minimum distribution (RMD) age of 72. Effective 5/1/19, the fund made changes to its glide path and asset allocation, including removing its strategic allocation to alternative investments. Additionally, the fund revised its fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements to include acquired fund fees and expenses. Such changes can impact performance. The fund's investment goal has remained the same.
• Advisor Class, Class R, Class R6 and Class Z shares are only offered to certain eligible investors as stated in the prospectus. The fund offers multiple share classes, which are subject to different fees and expenses that will affect their performance. Please see the prospectus for details. Change the share class selection in the dropdown at the top of this page in order to see its performance details.

Allocations for the fund's blended benchmark reflect or map the fund's current target asset class allocations and may not be representative of the fund's historical asset class allocations.
