Reasons to invest
- Unlocking opportunities across the capital structure. The strategy provides flexibility to invest across the capital structure with emphasis on seeking to generate the best income and capital appreciation opportunities from Canadian and U.S. companies.
- Benefit from multiple sources of income. The fund seeks to provide a sustainable cash flow from multiple sources: Canadian and U.S. common equity, preferred shares, Canadian and foreign fixed income, covered call option premiums and convertible debentures. Writing covered call options is expected to enhance yield generated by the strategy, as well as the flexibility of investing in a broader opportunity set.
- Diversified exposure. Constructed around a broad set of lower correlated positions from the Canadian and U.S. market, the portfolio seeks to provide stability and ease the investor’s exposure to market swings.

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.
As of November 22, 2016, all Series I and V are closed to new investors.
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.

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.
