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 60% to equity funds and 40% to fixed-income funds. The fund is designed for investors seeking a moderate level of risk with an intermediate investment horizon.

Commentary Highlights

June 30, 2025
  • Global equities posted strong gains in the second quarter of 2025. The quarter began with US President Donald Trump’s announcement of reciprocal tariffs that were more sweeping and severe than many had expected, leading to significant financial market volatility. However, global trade tensions eased during the rest of the quarter as the United States delayed planned tariff hikes, reducing investor fears of a global recession.
  • Investors remained concerned about elevated inflation levels in certain regions over the period, but reduced recession fears helped in improving consumer sentiment. A key driver of US equity gains was renewed enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, and the information technology sector led sector performers.
  • Global aggregate bond indexes posted gains in the second quarter as yields fell for most government benchmark bonds. In the United States, the US Federal Reserve chose not to decrease the policy rate, waiting for more clarity around the inflationary impacts of announced trade policies. The European Central Bank continued its move to loosen monetary policy amid challenging trade negotiations—alongside subdued growth and inflation.

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.

Distributions & Tax

Distribution Frequency
QuarterlyThis fund is an ex-Dividend fund
Capital Gain Distributions
June, December

Final composition of the current year’s distribution—income, capital gains and/or return of capital—are based on US tax rules and will be determined by February of the following year. For tax characterization of a distribution, such as return of capital and tax-exempt income, click on the “Tax Information” tab above.

Distributions Per Share
Distribution amounts may be estimates

09/29/2025
06/27/2025
06/13/2025
03/28/2025

Annually, a fund must distribute all realized capital gains net of realized losses, so the fund will not be subject to an entity level income tax. A fund’s capital gain distribution in a particular year may be a result of the disposition of holdings that appreciated in value during prior years. Thus, while the fund may gain or lose value over the course of a year, a capital gain distribution paid by the fund may not be indicative of current performance of the fund.

The distributable amount of net capital gains are paid on a per-share basis to all investors who hold shares of the fund on the record date of the distribution and are recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes as of the ex-date of the distribution, regardless of when the gains or losses arose in the fund. Net gains on holdings held long term by the fund would be distributed to shareholders as a long-term capital gain distribution no matter how long the shareholder has owned shares in the fund.

Refer to the fund’s annual report or statement of additional information for specific information regarding distributions.

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. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. 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. These and other risks are discussed in the fund’s prospectus.

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.

Footnotes

  1. Net Asset Value - the amount per share you would receive if you sold shares that day. NAV Change indicates a change in the Net Asset Value from the previous business day.

  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.

  4. The Linked Franklin Moderate Allocation Fund Benchmark-NR reflects the performance of 38.5% S&P 500 Index, 16.5% MSCI EAFE Index, 35% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index and 10% Payden & Rygel 90 Day U.S. T-Bill Index from fund inception to 12/31/2000; 38.5% S&P 500 Index, 16.5% MSCI EAFE Index-NR, 35% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index and 10% Payden & Rygel 90 Day U.S. T-Bill Index from 1/1/2001 to 12/31/2012; 38.5% S&P 500 Index, 16.5% MSCI EAFE Index-NR and 45% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index from 1/1/2013 to 12/31/14; and 60% MSCI AC World Index-NR and 40% Bloomberg Multiverse Index thereafter. Such a change can impact performance. Net Returns (NR) include income net of tax withholding when dividends are paid.

  5. The expense ratio for this fund includes estimated indirect expenses of its underlying funds.

  6. 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.

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

  8. For net asset value (NAV) purchases, a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) may apply to shares redeemed within 18 months.

  9. Public Offering Price – the purchase price for each share of the fund on a given day.  It includes the maximum initial sales charge, if any.

  10. As of January 1, 2013, the Fund changed its target allocations, with short-term investments (formerly a targeted allocation of 10%) now combined into the fixed income fund target allocation; such a change can impact performance.

  11. 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%.
