The fund achieves this by maintaining a diversified portfolio that typically allocates at least 25% of its assets to fixed income securities—including bonds, notes, debentures, and money market instruments—and at least 25% to equity securities, with an emphasis on dividend-paying stocks and convertible instruments. The remaining assets may be flexibly distributed between these categories depending on market conditions. A notable feature is its managed distribution policy, aimed at delivering consistent monthly payouts to shareholders, with targeted annual payout rates generally ranging between 2.75% and 6.25%. The fund’s holdings span a variety of sectors and issuers, predominantly within the United States, and include both government and corporate debt as well as shares in major corporations such as Chevron, Exxon Mobil, and Johnson & Johnson. As part of Franklin Templeton Investments, the fund benefits from experienced management and robust research capabilities.
