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
As of 09/30/2025
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.

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
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.
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.
