Important Information
The information contained in this piece is not a complete analysis of every material fact regarding the market and any industry, sector, security or portfolio. Statements of fact cited by the manager have been obtained from sources considered reliable but no representation is made as to their completeness or accuracy. Because market and economic conditions are subject to rapid change, opinions provided are valid only as of the date of the material, and are subject to change without notice. The manager’s opinions are intended solely to provide insight into how the manager analyzes securities, may differ from that of other affiliated managers, and are not a recommendation or individual investment advice for any particular security, strategy or investment product. Any securities discussed may not represent an account’s entire portfolio and in the aggregate may represent a small percentage of an account’s portfolio holdings. There is no assurance that any such securities will remain in an account’s portfolio, or that securities sold have not been repurchased. It should not be assumed that any securities transactions discussed were or will prove to be profitable. The information provided should not be considered a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold any particular security. All indexes are unmanaged and cannot accommodate direct investment. Investors should review their investment objectives, risk tolerance and liquidity needs before choosing a manager. There is no guarantee that investment strategies will work under all market conditions, and investors should evaluate their ability to invest for the long term, especially during periods of market downturns. Past performance is not an indicator or guarantee of future performance.
Franklin Separately Managed Accounts claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). GIPS® is a registered trademark of CFA Institute.

Separately Managed Accounts (SMAS) are investment services provided by Franklin Templeton Private Portfolio Group, LLC (FTPPG), a federally registered investment advisor. Client portfolios are managed based on investment instructions or advice provided by affiliated subadvisors of Franklin Templeton. Management is implemented by FTPPG, the designated subadvisor or, in the case of certain programs, the program sponsor or its designee. Franklin Corporate Ladder 1-10 Year SMA Composite consists of all fully discretionary accounts that seek a high level of current income by investing in a diversified portfolio of investment grade US corporate securities with maturities ranging from one to ten years. The composite may include wrap fee accounts that pay a fully bundled fee (which includes trading expenses, administrative, custodial and investment management fees charged together as a percentage of the portfolio’s assets) and non-wrap accounts that only pay an investment management fee to Franklin.
The primary benchmark for this composite is the Bloomberg US Corporates – Intermediate Investment Grade Index. This index is a market value weighted fixed income index comprised of investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bond issues whose maturity ranges between one and ten years. It includes USD denominated securities publicly issued by U.S. and non-U.S. industrial, utility and financial issuers.
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. To the extent the portfolio invests in a concentration of certain securities, regions or industries, it is subject to increased volatility. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks, and possible loss of principal. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls. Liquidity risk exists when securities or other investments become more difficult to sell, or are unable to be sold, at the price at which they have been valued. Active management does not ensure gains or protect against market declines. The portfolio is non-diversified and may invest in a relatively small number of issuers, which may negatively impact the performance and result in greater fluctuation in value. The manager may consider environmental, social and governance (‘ESG’) criteria in the research or investment process; however, ESG considerations may not be a determinative factor in security selection. In addition, the manager may not assess every investment for ESG criteria, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated.

Management and performance of individual accounts may vary for reasons that include the existence of different implementation practices and model requirements in different investment programs.
