Reasons to invest
- Dual Approach: Pairs key macroeconomic themes driving asset prices with deep fundamental analysis, aligning valuations with risk.
- Differentiated Value Investing: Takes active, high conviction positions in securities with significant valuation anomalies along with identifiable catalysts for price mean reversion.
- ESG Approach: ESG analysis is fully embedded into the research and investment process; uses a proprietary rating system, and either limits or completely excludes the weakest scoring securities from the portfolio.

Important Legal Information
Performance data represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Current performance may differ from figures shown. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate with market conditions, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your units.
Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus or fund facts document before investing. The indicated rates of return are the historical annual compounded total returns including changes in unit value and reinvestment of all distributions and do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced returns. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.
Mutual fund securities are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government deposit insurer. There can be no assurances that the fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in the fund will be returned to you.
Distributions are not guaranteed and the proportion of income and return of capital will fluctuate depending on fund returns. Unlike fixed-income securities, there is no obligation to distribute any fixed amount, and reductions in, or suspensions of, distributions may occur that would reduce yield. Distributions are not an indication of performance, rate of return, or yield. Mutual fund distributions are not guaranteed and are set and may change at the discretion of Franklin Templeton Investments Canada.
Series F is available to investors participating in programs that do not require Franklin Templeton to incur distribution costs in the form of trailing commissions to dealers. As a consequence, the management fee on Series F is lower than on Series A. The gross of fees version of Series F does not exist and as a result, investors cannot purchase Series F securities on a gross of fees basis. Performance would have been lower with fees taken into account.
Series O investors do not pay any of the management fees within the fund but instead pay a separate management and administration fee that they negotiate directly with Franklin Templeton Canada. To qualify to purchase or hold Series O units an investor must meet minimum investment requirements as set out in the fund's current prospectus. For more details on the management and administration fee, please read the prospectus. Performance is presented in Canadian dollars and is gross of fees (before management and custodial fees) of Series O units of the Fund. Taking into account such fees would result in lower rates of return.
Indexes are unmanaged, and one cannot invest directly in an index. They do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges.
Investors can obtain any fund document by contacting a financial advisor or downloading it from the list of fund documents above.
The fund was launched on 12/09/2024. Full year performance data is unavailable for this period.

Footnotes
Custom Franklin Brandywine Global Sustainable Balanced Benchmark is a blended index composed of the Bloomberg Multiverse Hedged (C$) Index (50%) and MSCI All Country World Index (Net Returns) (50%).
Yield figures quoted should not be used as an indication of the income that has or will be received. Yield figures are based on the portfolio's underlying holdings and do not represent a payout of the portfolio.
Average Duration - Also known as 'effective' or 'McCauley' duration it is a measure of the sensitivity of the price (the value of principal) of a fixed-income investment to a change in interest rates. Duration is expressed as a number of years. It's an indication of an issue's coupon relative to its maturity. Rising interest rates mean falling bond prices; declining interest rates mean rising bond prices. The bigger the duration number, the greater the interest-rate risk; (or reward for bond prices). The weighted average duration of a fund reflects the effective duration of the underlying issues, based on the size of each holding. This value differs with 'Modified Duration' which is modified for the market (dirty) price of an issue.
Price to Earnings (12-mo Trailing) measures the current price to earnings ratio (P/E) relative to the trailing 12 months of reported earnings.
The average credit quality (ACQ) rating may change over time. The portfolio itself has not been rated by an independent rating agency. The letter rating, which may be based on bond ratings from different agencies, is provided to indicate the average credit rating of the portfolio’s underlying bonds and generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). For unrated bonds ratings may be assigned based on the ratings of the issuer or other relevant factors. The ACQ is determined by assigning a sequential integer to all credit ratings AAA to D, taking a simple, asset-weighted average of debt holdings by market value and rounding to the nearest rating. The risk of default increases as a bond’s rating decreases, so the ACQ provided is not a statistical measurement of the portfolio’s default risk because a simple, weighted average does not measure the increasing level of risk from lower rated bonds. The ACQ is provided for informational purposes only. Derivative positions are not reflected in the ACQ.
All data is subject to change.
Distributions are not guaranteed and the proportion of income and return of capital will fluctuate depending on Fund returns. Unlike fixed-income securities, there is no obligation to distribute any fixed amount, and reductions in, or suspensions of, distributions may occur that would reduce yield. Distributions are not an indication of performance, rate of return, or yield. Mutual fund distributions are not guaranteed and are set and may change at the discretion of Franklin Templeton Investments Corp.
Maximum target annual distribution rate on Series T varies between 5% to 8%, set for the individual fund or portfolio. Annual target distributions are subject to change at the discretion of Franklin Templeton Investments. Investors may choose their desired Return of Capital (ROC) cash payout rate, the remainder will be reinvested in additional Series T units/shares of the same fund or portfolio. An investor's adjusted cost base (ACB) will be reduced by the amount of any ROC payments. If the investor's ACB goes below zero, they will have to pay capital gains tax on any further ROC distributions. Series T may also pay an annual income distribution and capital gains which must be reinvested but will be taxable in the year received. The payment of income distributions is not guaranteed and may fluctuate. Income distributions and ROC cash flow payments are not an indication of performance, rate of return, or yield. If distributions paid by a fund are greater than the return of the fund, the value of the investor's investment will decrease. Investors should obtain advice from a qualified tax specialist on taxation matters.
