Distributions & Tax

Federal ID Number 88-3650455

For information on tax years prior to 2008, please contact us

These amounts represent distributions paid by the fund, foreign taxes passed through (if any), and other distribution characteristics for the calendar year selected. These amounts are reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV.

Distributions per Share ($)

Estimated distributions can change depending on current market conditions and number of shares outstanding. Changes can occur up to the record date. Estimates don't include ordinary income distributions the funds may be making. A fund's capital gain distributions per share will be the same for each share class. All dates and distributions are subject to board approval.

Tax Information
Record Date

For daily accrual funds, the date displayed is the pay date for the fund.

Ordinary Dividends

Dividends paid by a fund that are derived from interest, dividends, net short-term capital gains and other types of ordinary income earned by the fund. For a fund that elects to pass through its foreign taxes paid (a non-cash item), a shareholder's allotted share of foreign taxes has been added to the “Ordinary Dividends” cash distributions received by the shareholder. If the fund passed through foreign taxes paid and later is refunded any portion of those taxes by a foreign tax authority, any interest paid to the fund on that refund is also required to be included in “Ordinary Dividends”.

Qualified Dividends

The portion of a fund’s “Ordinary Dividends” that may be eligible for a reduced capital gain tax rate. To be eligible for the lower tax rates, certain holding periods apply and shareholders should consult their tax advisor to determine the amount eligible for the reduced rate. This amount represents both cash distributions and non-cash amounts, such as foreign taxes paid, that have been allocated to shareholders.

Capital Gain Distributions

The net long-term gains recognized by a fund from the sale of securities and other assets. These distributions may be eligible for a reduced capital gain tax rate.

Unrecaptured Section 1250 Gain

The portion of a fund’s “Capital Gain Distributions” related to certain depreciable real property—typically derived from a fund’s real estate investment trusts holdings. Unrecaptured section 1250 gains are usually taxed at a higher tax rate than general “Capital Gain Distributions”.

Non-Taxable Return Of Capital

Also known as a “Return of Capital”, occurs when a shareholder receives a portion of their investment that is not considered income or capital gains. These amounts are not taxed currently but may reduce the cost basis of the shares related to the distribution.

Section 199a Dividends

The portion of a fund’s “Ordinary Dividends” generated by a real estate investment trust or earned by a fund from its investments in real estate investment trusts, subject to limitations. Individual (non-corporate) shareholders may be entitled to a special deduction from gross income for “Section 199A Dividends” received from a fund. To qualify for this deduction certain holding periods apply and shareholders should consult their tax advisor.

Foreign Tax Paid

Shareholder’s pro-rata portion of foreign taxes paid by the fund to non-US tax authorities. A shareholder may be eligible to claim these as a credit or take a deduction on their tax return and should consult their tax advisor.

Exempt Interest Dividends

Represent the net tax-exempt income earned by the fund from municipal bonds and other tax-exempt securities. This income is typically not subject to federal income tax but may be subject to state and or alternative minimum tax. Shareholders should consult their tax advisor if they have any questions.

Interest on Tax Reclaim Refunds

Interest paid by European countries on historical overwithholding of taxes by the foreign governments related to dividends and interest paid to the mutual fund. The reclaimed taxes are now being refunded as a result of various court rulings. In accordance with IRS Notice 2016-10, the mutual fund is required to report the interest on the reclaimed taxes on Form 1099-DIV

Risks

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. The managers’ environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies may limit the types and number of investments available and, as a result, may forgo favorable market opportunities or underperform strategies that are not subject to such criteria. There is no guarantee that the strategy's ESG directives will be successful or will result in better performance. There is no assurance that the quantitative methodology used will achieve its intended results. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks, and possible loss of principal. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls. Asset-backed, mortgage-backed or mortgage-related securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on performance. Active management does not ensure gains or protect against market declines. These and other risks are discussed in the fund’s prospectus.

ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below their net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns. ETF shares may be bought or sold throughout the day at their market price (MP), not their Net Asset Value (NAV), on the exchange on which they are listed. Shares of ETFs are tradable on secondary markets and may trade either at a premium or a discount to their NAV on the secondary market. Prior to trading in the secondary market, shares of the fund are "created" at NAV by market makers, large investors and institutions only in block-size Creation Units. Each "creator" or "Authorized Participant" enters into an authorized participant agreement with Franklin Distributors, LLC. Only an Authorized Participant may create or redeem Creation Units directly with the fund. Retail investors buy and sell shares of ETFs at market price (not NAV) in the secondary market throughout the trading day. These shares are not individually available for purchase or redemption directly from the ETF.

Franklin Distributors, LLC serves as the distributor of Creation Units for the ETFs on an agency basis. Franklin Distributors, LLC does not maintain a secondary market in the funds' shares.

The fund’s NAV represents the per-share-value and is determined by dividing the total NAV of the fund by the number of shares outstanding; Market Price returns are based upon the official closing price of the ETF’s/ETP's shares. The fund calculates the NAV per share each business day and normally coincides with the close of trading on the exchange on which they are listed, typically 4 pm ET. The fund does not calculate the NAV on days the exchange is closed for trading. These returns do not represent investors’ returns had they traded shares at other times. 

  2. Figures are aggregate total return figures, have not been annualized and represent the change in value of an investment over the period indicated.

  3. The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or “star rating”, is calculated for managed products with at least a three-year history, and subject to change monthly. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product 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 Overall Morningstar Rating is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total return, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total return. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Ratings do not take into account the effects of sales charges and loads. Morningstar Rating is for the specified share class(es) only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. ©2025 Morningstar, Inc. All rights reserved.

  4. Distribution Rate is calculated by annualizing the most recent distribution amount paid, divided by the closing market price or NAV as of the date indicated. The Distribution Rate calculation includes income and excludes special distributions. The Distribution Rate is subject to change and is not guaranteed nor a quotation of fund performance.

  5. Distribution Rate is calculated by annualizing the most recent distribution amount paid, divided by the closing market price or NAV as of the date indicated. The Distribution Rate calculation includes income and return of capital, and excludes special distributions. The Distribution Rate is not guaranteed, subject to change, and is not a quotation of fund performance. 

  6. With Waiver means the performance quote reflects any applicable expense reductions and fee waivers.

  7. During periods of rising inflation, fund yields can vary significantly from month-to-month and may not be repeated.

  8. 30-Day SEC Yield is calculated using the net income (interest and dividends) per share earned over a trailing 30-day period (annualized), divided by the fund’s share price at the end of that period. It may not equal the fund’s actual income distribution rate, which reflects the fund’s past dividends paid to shareholders.

  9. Gross Expense Ratio reflects the total annual operating expenses for the share class shown, prior to the deduction of any waiver or reimbursement. Actual expenses may be higher and may impact portfolio returns. Net Expense Ratio reflects total expenses after any fee waivers, implemented expense caps or reimbursements. If a fund has contractual fee waivers, expense caps and/or reimbursements, the expiration date can be found by clicking on the information button next to the net expense ratio. Additional amounts may be voluntarily waived and/or reimbursed and may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. Expense ratios are as of the most recent prospectus or annual report.

  10. Net Expense Ratio represents the expense ratio applicable to investors.

  12. Yield to Maturity is calculated without the deduction of fees and expenses.

  13. Premiums or discounts are the differences between the NAV and the Market Price of the Fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that the Fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that the Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. The since inception premium/discount average is calculated by averaging the daily premium/discount since the inception of the fund. The daily premium/discount is the difference between the daily market price for shares of the Fund and the Fund's net asset value. The Market Price is determined using the closing price as of 4 pm ET on each trading day (when NAV is normally determined for most funds).

  14. Premium / Discount reflects the difference between the NAV and the Market Price of the fund, and represents the amount that the fund is trading above or below its NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. 

  15. Credit Quality is a measure of a bond issuer's ability to repay interest and principal in a timely manner. The credit ratings shown are based on each portfolio security's rating as provided by S&P Global Ratings, Moody's Investors Service and/or Fitch Ratings, Inc. and typically range from AAA for long term or A-1 for short term (highest) to D (lowest), or an equivalent and/or similar rating. For this purpose, if two or more of the agencies have assigned differing ratings to a security, the highest rating is used. Securities that are unrated by all three agencies are reflected as such. The credit quality of the investments in the portfolio does not apply to the stability or safety of the portfolio. The methodology used for the calculation of credit quality ratings displayed may differ from the methodology for monitoring investment limits, if applicable. Please note, the portfolio itself has not been rated by an independent rating agency.
