Investment Objectives

A balance of current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a portfolio of Franklin Templeton Funds to achieve a balance of fixed-income and equity investments.

Investment Strategy

The Fund will invest up to 100% in securities of other mutual funds, including ETFs, that may be managed by us or by an affiliate of ours. The Fund may, from time to time, invest a portion of its assets directly in equity securities and debt instruments. The portfolio advisor will generally keep the Fund’s asset class allocations within the following ranges: 40 - 60% equity securities, 35 - 50% debt instruments, 0 - 10% cash.
