Fund Facts
Fund description
The fund seeks to make monthly distributions, while preserving the investors' capital over the long term. The fund has a strategic allocation of assets primarily among equity and fixed-income underlying fund investments (largely Franklin Templeton funds) and an income generation strategy, which will include derivatives. The fund also employs a managed distribution policy that is designed to provide regular level monthly payments (in retirement plans that permit such cash distributions or if the fund is held outside of a qualified plan).

Performance
Average Annual Total Returns
As of 10/31/2025
Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, and investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods. Total returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. Returns with sales charge reflect a deduction of the stated maximum sales charge. Returns without sales charge would have been lower had sales charges been reflected. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

Risks
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Investments in underlying funds are subject to the same risks as, and indirectly bear the fees and expenses of, the underlying funds. Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. 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. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations and social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. These and other risks are discussed in the fund’s prospectus. Investments in equity-linked notes often have risks similar to their underlying securities, which could include management risk, market risk and, as applicable, foreign securities and currency risks. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on performance.
Managed Distribution Policy Risks - The fund is not guaranteed to achieve its investment goal nor is there any guarantee that the fund will provide sufficient income at or through the investor's retirement. In addition, some of its distributions may be treated in part as a return of capital, which will decrease shareholders' cost basis in the fund and affect the amount of any capital gain or loss that they realize when selling or exchanging fund shares. The annual payout rate may be adjusted higher or lower from year to year and could vary substantially over time. It is possible for the fund to suffer substantial investment losses and simultaneously experience additional asset reductions as a result of its distributions to shareholders under the managed distribution policy. Investors who hold the fund within a tax-advantaged retirement account should consult their tax professionals to discuss tax consequences of receiving cash distributions. In addition, use of the fund or election of the option to receive distribution payments in cash may be restricted in certain retirement plans by the terms of the governing plan documents and/or the discretion of the plan administrator. Investors are strongly advised to consult with their financial professional for assistance before selecting the appropriate fund, based on their goals and personal situations, including time horizon, retirement income needs, risk tolerance, and tax bracket.

Effective 1/29/21, the fund changed its strategic asset allocation 40% to equity funds and 60% to fixed income funds aligning it to the landing point of the glide path (the strategic asset allocation of a target date fund over time) of other Franklin LifeSmart retirement funds. Effective 5/1/2016, the fund changed its goal and certain investment strategies, adopted a managed distribution policy, and changed its name from Franklin LifeSmart 2015 Retirement Target Fund. Such changes can impact performance.
Effective 9/10/18 Class A shares closed to new investors and were renamed Class A1 shares. This share class is only available for shareholders who purchased prior to the close of market on 9/7/18.
Investors should carefully consider a fund's investment goals, risks, sales charges and expenses before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing or sending money.
