About FFALX
Franklin Global Allocation Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund designed to deliver long-term total return within an acceptable level of risk. The fund allocates across a diversified mix of global equities, fixed income, and, to a lesser extent, alternative strategies, with flexibility to shift exposures as opportunities evolve. Its mandate includes maintaining meaningful non‑U.S. exposure across multiple countries, including emerging markets, providing broad geographic and sector diversification. The portfolio typically features large-cap leaders alongside sovereign and corporate bonds, complemented by cash and select systematic or multi-asset sleeves to manage risk and liquidity. Guided by Franklin Templeton’s multi-asset team, the strategy targets a balanced profile suited to moderate-to-growth risk tolerances, seeking to compound returns while smoothing volatility through active asset allocation and security selection. Established in 2003, the fund’s role in the market is to serve as a core global allocation holding that integrates equity growth potential with income and diversification benefits from fixed income and other assets, aiming for resilience across market cycles.
