A composite is an aggregation of one or more portfolios into a single group that represents a particular investment objective or strategy. The composite return is the asset-weighted average of the performance results of all the fully discretionary portfolios in the composite. The composite return information provided herein includes the returns of Franklin Separately Managed Accounts, high-net- worth individual and institutional client portfolios and with respect to periods prior to the inception of Franklin Separately Managed Accounts, reflects the performance of such other portfolios. Past performance is not an indicator or a guarantee of future performance. Source for Index: FactSet. Indexes are unmanaged, and one cannot invest directly in an index. They do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges.

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.

The Firm includes Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions which integrates Franklin Templeton Multi-Asset Solutions and QS Investors, Franklin Mutual Advisers, Franklin ETF and Franklin Venture Partners in addition to Franklin Equity Group, Franklin Templeton Fixed Income Group, and Templeton Global Macro. The Firm is comprised of individuals representing various registered investment advisories of Franklin Resources, Inc., a global investment organization operating as Franklin Templeton.

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 Rising Dividends SMA consists of all SMA portfolios managed on a fully discretionary basis with an investment objective that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 65% of its net assets in companies that have paid consistently rising dividends. 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. Franklin Advisers, Inc. (Franklin) is responsible for Franklin Separately Managed Accounts’ Rising Dividends accounts, including those in the Franklin Rising Dividends SMA Composite. Franklin is a sub-adviser to Franklin Separately Managed Accounts since the inception date of the composite.

The primary benchmark for this composite is the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted equity index comprised of securities of large cap U.S. companies.

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. Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. The investment style may become out of favor, which may have a negative impact on performance. Active management does not ensure gains or protect against market declines. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations and social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. 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.
