Overview

Fund Description

The fund's investment goal is to seek the highest level of long-term total return consistent with its asset allocation. Total return consists of both capital appreciation and income, with the fund placing an increasing emphasis on fixed income as the target date 2045 approaches, and reaching its final and most conservative asset allocation approximately eight years after the target year. The fund invests primarily in a combination of other Franklin Templeton mutual funds and Franklin Templeton and third party exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Along with an expectation to retire in or near the year 2045 and delay withdrawals until required minimum distribution age, the fund is designed for investors that want:

  • the simplicity of an asset allocation fund paired with a risk management approach.
  • active and flexible portfolio management.
  • a specialized multi-asset strategy team managing complex investment decisions.
Strategy Statement

"Designed for investors who anticipate retiring on or around 2045, the fund provides asset allocation which adjusts to become progressively more conservative as the target date approaches."

Thomas Nelson, CFA®

Strategy & Benefits

Strategy

Through a dynamic asset allocation approach, the fund provides investors with a target retirement date solution that seeks to:

  • Grow: Emphasizes growth early by increasing equity exposure in the fund’s earlier years
  • Defend: Reduces equity exposure during periods of extended market volatility
  • Reach: Becomes increasingly conservative beyond target retirement date age of 65, reaching for incremental growth until investors are ready to draw income at required minimum distribution age
  • Sustain: Converts to a managed payout fund five years after reaching retirement target date
Benefits
  • Behavior based: Designed with an understanding of investor behavior and expectations throughout the journey to retirement
  • Outcome engineered: Reflects the need for growth but responds to potential damage a prolonged bear market can wreak in the retirement savings home stretch
  • Integrated best thinking: A global, integrated, and disciplined approach to asset allocation, capturing Franklin Templeton’s best thinking across and within asset classes

Risks

What Are the Risks?

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Principal invested is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the fund’s retirement target date; nor is there any guarantee that the fund will provide sufficient income at or through the investor’s retirement. The investment risk of the retirement target fund changes over time as its asset allocation changes. 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.
