3 The Strategy Franklin Founding Funds Strategy combines three value-oriented funds each a cornerstone fund with 60+ years of track record run independently by the Franklin, Templeton or Franklin Mutual Series management group to create an investment portfolio offering diversification across multiple asset classes and the potential for attractive, long-term results. Franklin Mutual Shares Fund % Franklin Income Fund % Templeton Growth Fund % The following pages illustrate a hypothetical combined investment divided equally among Advisor Class shares of the three funds. The performance of the combined hypothetical portfolio assumes rebalancing to an equal allocation of each of the three funds on an annual basis. The allocations and performance of the hypothetical investment are for illustration only and do not consti tute investment advice. You should consider your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon when selecting investments or making asset allocation decisions for your portfolio. Unless otherwise noted, strategy performance figures in this brochure reflect Advisor Class. Please see the back cover for each fund s standardized returns. Performance data represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Current performance may differ from the figures shown. A fund s investment return and principal value will change with market conditions, and you may have a gain or a loss when you sell your shares.

6 The Results A hypothetical $10,000 investment made on November 30, 1954 (the first month-end following the inception of Templeton Growth Fund), divided equally among Advisor Class shares of Franklin Income Fund, Templeton Growth Fund and Franklin Mutual Shares Fund, with sales charges, would have produced an impressive total return of 82,987% or $8,308,675 as of December 31, Please note that this hypothetical investment does not take into account federal, state or municipal taxes. If taxes were taken into account, the hypothetical values shown would have been lower.

7 A Few Words about Risk All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Because the strategy invests in underlying funds that may engage in a variety of investment strategies involving certain risks, the strategy is subject to these same risks. Stock prices fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and dramatically, due to factors affecting individual companies particular industries or sectors, or general market conditions. Bonds are affected by changes in interest rates and the credit worthiness of their issuers. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as the prices of bonds adjust to a rise in interest rates, share prices may decline. Higher-yielding, lower-rated corporate bonds entail a greater degree of credit risk compared to investment grade securities. Foreign investing carries additional risks such as currency and market volatility and political or social instability, risks which are heightened in developing countries. Value securities may not increase in prices as anticipated or may decline further in value. These and other risks are discussed in each fund s prospectus.

9 The Power of Dollar-Cost Averaging Regular Investments May Help You Reach Your Long-Term Goals Dollar-cost averaging is a proven investment technique that may help lower the average cost of the shares you purchase. Even modest investments made regularly can make a difference when pursuing your long-term objectives. By investing a fixed dollar amount at regular intervals, you buy more shares when the price is low and fewer shares when the price is high. As a result, your average share cost may be less than the average price per share. Dollar-cost averaging requires continuous investments in securities, regardless of fluctuation in price levels, and investors should consider their financial ability to continue purchases through periods of low price levels or in changing economic conditions. Such a plan does not assure a profit, nor protect against a loss in a declining market. The table below illustrates what would have happened if the maximum annual individual retirement plan (IRA) contribution was put into a hypothetical investment, the Founding Funds Strategy, every year since 1974, the year IRAs were first available. As you can see, consistent, regular investments over time can make a big difference. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Please note that this hypothetical investment does not take into account federal, state or municipal taxes. If taxes were taken into account, the hypothetical values shown would have been lower.

10 Are You Looking for Income? See How a Systematic Withdrawal Plan Works A systematic withdrawal plan allows an investor to sell shares at regular intervals for income. In the example below, a hypothetical, lump-sum purchase of $100,000 was made 20 years ago, on December 31, 1997, in the funds composing the Founding Funds Strategy. Beginning the following year, $6,000 of the account s value was withdrawn each year, increasing 3% annually to adjust for the cost of living. At the end of the 20-year period, although over $160,000 had been withdrawn, the value of the investment would still have increased to over $98, Please note that this hypothetical investment does not take into account federal, state or municipal taxes. If taxes were taken into account, the hypothetical values shown would have been lower. Period Ended Dec. 31 Annual Withdrawal Value at End of Period $0 $96, $6,000 $90, $6,180 $96, $6,365 $100, $6,556 $96, $6,753 $82, $6,956 $98, $7,164 $104, $7,379 $103, $7,601 $115, $7,829 $143, $8,063 $162, $8,305 $159, $8,555 $94, $8,811 $111, $9,076 $113, $9,348 $102, $9,628 $108, $9,917 $122, $10,215 $115, $10,521 $98,525 $161,222 $98,525 Total Withdrawn Value Remaining Concerned about Bad Timing? What if this hypothetical Systematic Withdrawal Plan was started on 12/31/72, right before the brutal bear market of ? On 12/31/17 the total amount withdrawn would have been $556,168, and the value left in the account would have been $5,316, The results of such a program vary substantially depending on investment performance during the period the program is in effect. The rate or amount chosen for withdrawal determines the value remaining at the end of the period. In a period of declining market values, continued with drawals could eventually exhaust the principal. 11. Founding Funds Strategy s performance includes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, and assumes rebalancing to an equal allocation of each of the three funds on an annual basis. The figures represent performance of a hypothetical combined investment, are for illustrative purposes only. The amounts withdrawn do not represent dividends or income but, rather, the proceeds from the sale of shares. Sufficient shares are sold from the shareholder s account at the time of each withdrawal to provide for such payments. Investors participating in a systematic withdrawal plan should annually review with their financial advisor the results being obtained and the value of remaining shares. Based on this annual review, individuals can increase or decrease the amount of withdrawals, as appropriate. Investors should probably not begin a systematic withdrawal plan until at least six months following the initial investment. Otherwise, investors could receive a portion of their initial investment, which most likely would not have had sufficient time to appreciate to offset the sales charges incurred. 8 Franklin Founding Funds Strategy franklintempleton.com
