2 Franklin U.S. Equity Fund Market Review U.S. equity markets rallied in August as investor sentiment was lifted by generally healthy corporate earnings, accommodative Federal Reserve (Fed) policy and evidence of accelerating growth in key economic indicators. Intensifying geopolitical concerns about Ukraine and the Middle East apparently did not darken the outlook for many investors, and comments from key central banks outside the United States that suggested willingness for more aggressive stimulus in Europe and elsewhere were favorably received. Nine out of 10 major U.S. equity sectors advanced, led by the utilities, health care, consumer staples, consumer discretionary and financials sectors, while telecommunication services had a small decline. According to Russell U.S. indexes, gains for mid-capitalization stocks were broadly higher than those for the small- and large-cap tiers. By investment style, growth stocks generally outperformed their value counterparts regardless of company size. The U.S. equity market outpaced other developed markets and topped most emerging markets in August, while both groups fared better than frontier markets, which declined overall. Signs of increased U.S. economic momentum included betterthan-expected consumer confidence readings along with rising manufacturing, services-sector and international trade activity that came without worrisome inflation. Upward revisions to second-quarter U.S. economic growth and strength in select areas of the housing market were also well received. Countering this wave of positive releases was somewhat lackluster personal income, consumer spending and retail sales reports. Additionally, the labor market added a fewer-than-expected 142,000 new jobs in August, though the unemployment rate fell from 6.2% to 6.1%. Lofty U.S. equity valuations further inspired some caution, as did worries about how markets might respond when the Fed fully winds down its monthly bond-purchasing stimulus in October. Performance Review and Contributors to Performance The fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, in August, with stock selection in the information technology, health care and materials sectors detracting from relative returns. The fund s cash position also weighed on relative results. In contrast, stock selection in the financials sector benefited the fund s relative performance. Detracting from the fund s relative performance in the information technology sector was an underweighting in Apple as shares of the technology innovator rose amid investor anticipation of the release of a new iphone. Shares of data center operator Equinix also dampened relative performance as its shares lagged the benchmark index s performance. Conversely, a position in Microsoft helped to offset some of these negative effects. Shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International declined and hindered results in the health care sector. In addition, shares of Roche Holding lagged the benchmark index and also detracted from relative performance. Assisting the sector were generic drugmaker Actavis and diversified health care benefits company Aetna. In the materials sector, chemicals company Axiall hindered results as it reported weak second-quarter results due, in part, to lower demand and pricing for its chlorovinyl products. In contrast, global plastics company LyondellBasell Industries assisted relative returns as the company has continued to benefit from a favorable North American natural gas environment. Elsewhere, in the industrials sector, railroad company Genesee & Wyoming pressured relative performance, while security surveillance firm ADT aided the fund s results. Benefiting relative performance in the financials sector were insurer Hartford Financial Services Group and investment manager BlackRock. Improving fundamentals in its property and casualty business benefited shares of Hartford, while increased assets under management has been supporting revenue growth for BlackRock. The fund s lower weighting in the energy sector versus its benchmark index proved favorable. Anadarko Petroleum contributed to relative performance, as did an underweighting in Exxon Mobil as its shares lagged the index. Hindering relative performance were shares of Oasis Petroleum, which fell following missed second-quarter consensus estimates amid lower-than-expected production. In the consumer discretionary sector, solid fiscal fourthquarter results lifted shares of Twenty-First Century Fox, helped by strong advertising growth in its cable network franchise. Conversely, auto components supplier BorgWarner dampened the fund s results as its return trailed the benchmark index. Portfolio Positioning As of, roughly 9.9% of the fund s equity holdings were in companies with market capitalizations below US$10 billion, with the remainder in companies with market caps of US$10 billion or more. The fund s month-end weighted-average market-capitalization size was approximately US$97 billion, below the weighted-average market-capitalization size of the S&P 500 Index. As of monthend, the fund held 71 securities. In August, relative to the benchmark index, the fund was most overweight in the health care sector, while it was most underweight in consumer staples and had no exposure to the telecommunication services and utilities sectors. Information technology and health care were the fund s largest sector allocations for the period. For Professional Broker/Dealer investor and use only.

Examples in the industrials, information technology and energy sectors, among others, reflect firms that are disrupting long-standing processes and remaking industries through the power of technological advances. In the industrials sector, new capabilities in computer programming are transforming centuries-old manufacturing techniques. Programs built to read engineering design files can now communicate with injection molding machines, improving many elements of the manufacturing process. The automation of labor-intensive steps has led to a decline in costs for prototyping and parts testing as well as an acceleration in product experimentation and innovation. Advancements within other semiconductor applications include the chip-based technology poised to become a new standard for bank and credit cards. This technology offers a much more secure transactional process compared to legacy debit and credit cards that rely on a magnetic stripe, and we think the eventual global roll-out of cards enabled with it holds strong long-term promise. Lastly, the energy sector is another rapidly changing landscape. New seismic mapping technology and processing capabilities have allowed explorers to find oil deposits in many previously unexplored deepwater basins globally, while modern rigs and drillships have facilitated the development of previously unreachable resources in harsh conditions and trapped in increasingly complex geology. Subsea drilling equipment and production infrastructure have also experienced continual technological advancement. All these changes have led deepwater oil production to become a significant portion of worldwide supply over the past decade, and we believe it is likely to continue to be an important contributor in the future. The multiple individual investment opportunities we have found in companies steering these and other powerful secular trends lead us to remain optimistic about the longer-term Book Value Cash Flow Dividend Yield Market Cap (USD Millions) Franklin U.S. Equity Fund (Wtd.

The stock selection process provides for a diversified portfolio that spans the style spectrum, from growth to value, without preference to capitalization size, sector, or industry. Investment Philosophy The management team for the Fund believes that aboveaverage performance and below-average risk can be achieved over the long term through a disciplined investment process. The management team emphasizes active, bottom-up fundamental evaluation to search for individual securities believed to possess superior risk-return characteristics, taking into account both future growth potential and valuation considerations. This strategy allows for portfolio diversification across U.S. stock market capitalization size, sectors and industries. The Fund s portfolio managers are part of Franklin Equity Group, which, since 1947, has followed a research-driven, bottom-up approach to stock selection combined with critical analysis of market trends and investment themes.
