About FFAAX
Franklin Global Allocation Fund — Advisor Class is an actively managed mutual fund designed to deliver diversified, **global multi-asset** exposure. Its primary objective is to pursue the highest level of long-term total return consistent with an acceptable level of risk, achieved by dynamically allocating across **equities, fixed income**, and, to a lesser extent, **alternative strategies**. The portfolio invests worldwide, blending growth-oriented stocks with income-generating bonds to balance capital appreciation and downside resilience, with allocation decisions informed by Franklin Templeton’s research across regions, sectors, and credit qualities. As part of a flexible allocation mandate, the fund adjusts exposures as market conditions evolve, seeking to manage volatility while maintaining participation in global economic cycles. It typically holds a broad mix of securities to diversify risk across asset classes, industries, and geographies, making it a core solution for investors seeking a single-fund approach to global diversification and risk-aware total return. The Advisor Class provides professional oversight, periodic income distributions, and a longstanding track record since its 2003 inception.
