Overview
Fund Facts
Fund description
The fund seeks the highest level of long-term total return consistent with an acceptable level of risk. The manager allocates assets among broad asset classes by investing primarily in a distinctly weighted combination of other funds, predominately other Franklin Templeton affiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Under normal market conditions, the portfolio managers will allocate 40% to equity funds and 60% to fixed income funds. The fund is designed for investors seeking a lower level of risk with a shorter investment horizon.

Performance
Average Annual Total Returns
As of 11/30/2025
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. The allocation of assets among different strategies, asset classes and investments may not prove beneficial or produce the desired results. 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. Low-rated, high-yield bonds are subject to greater price volatility, illiquidity and possibility of default. These and other risks are discussed in the fund’s prospectus.
Important Information
Most funds offer multiple share classes. Share classes are subject to different fees and expenses, which will affect their performance.
Certain share classes are only offered to eligible investors as stated in the prospectus. Different minimums may apply to clients of certain service agents. All classes of shares are not available through all distribution channels. See the Fund's prospectus for additional information.
