SHAREHOLDER
LETTER
Dear
Shareholder:
During
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2022,
the
U.S.
economy
showed
progress
as
it
continued
to
recover
from
the
COVID-19
pandemic
amid
declining
unemployment,
rising
wages
and
increased
consumer
expenditures.
The
U.S.
economy
contracted
in
2022’s
first
quarter
given
a
record
trade
deficit
and
a
decline
in
inventory
investment,
while
consumer
spending
expanded
more
slowly,
helped
by
the
reopening
of
businesses,
widespread
vaccinations
and
federal
assistance
programs.
Inflation
increased
during
the
six-month
period,
influenced
by
pandemic-related
supply
chain
issues,
higher
energy
prices,
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine
and
broader
price
pressures.
During
the
first
half
of
this
period,
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
continued
some
quantitative
easing
measures
to
bolster
credit
markets
and
encourage
economic
activity.
However,
to
support
its
goals
to
maximize
employment
and
return
long-
term
annual
inflation
to
2%,
the
Federal
Reserve
continued
reversing
its
quantitative
easing
measures,
increasing
its
monthly
asset
purchase
tapering
and
ending
purchases
by
March
2022.
The
Federal
Reserve
also
raised
the
federal
funds
rate
by
0.25%
in
March,
0.50%
in
May
and
0.75%
in
June,
for
a
total
of
1.50%,
increasing
the
rate
from
0.25%
to
1.75%
during
the
period.
Additionally,
the
Federal
Reserve
stated
its
intention
to
continue
reducing
its
U.S.
Treasury,
government
agency
debt
and
mortgage-backed
securities
holdings,
and
reiterated
its
anticipation
of
ongoing
increases
to
combat
inflation.
Resilient
consumer
demand
together
with
persistent
supply-
chain
disruptions
contributed
to
higher
inflation
in
numerous
countries,
and
many
central
banks
tightened
monetary
policy.
China
imposed
new
lockdowns
to
mitigate
the
spread
of
COVID-19,
which
pressured
Asian
and
global
emerging
market
stocks.
International
sanctions
on
Russia
in
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine
hindered
companies
doing
business
with
Russia
and
disrupted
global
economic
activity
and
commodity
markets.
In
this
environment,
the
prices
of
U.S.
stocks,
as
measured
by
the
Standard
&
Poor’s
®
500
Index
(S&P
500
®
),
returned
-20.58%
(the
index
decreasing
from
4,766.18
to
3,785.38).
1,3
The
prices
of
stocks
in
global
developed
markets,
as
measured
by
the
MSCI
World
Index,
returned
-21.21%
(the
index
decreasing
from
3,231.727
to
2,546.185).
2,3
Investment-grade
bonds,
as
measured
by
the
Bloomberg
U.S.
Aggregate
Bond
Index
(Bloomberg
Index),
posted
a
-10.35%
total
return
(an
index
decrease
from
2,355.14
to
2,111.40),
which
includes
reinvestment
of
income
and
distributions,
reflecting
the
rise
in
interest
rates.
4
We
recognize
the
important
role
of
financial
professionals
in
today’s
markets
and
encourage
investors
to
continue
to
seek
their
advice.
Amid
changing
markets
and
economic
conditions,
we
are
confident
investors
with
a
well-diversified
portfolio
and
a
patient,
long-term
outlook
should
be
well
positioned
for
the
years
ahead.
In
addition,
Franklin
Fund
Allocator
Series’
semiannual
report
includes
more
detail
about
investment
decisions
during
the
period.
All
securities
markets
fluctuate
in
value,
as
do
mutual
fund
share
prices.
We
thank
you
for
investing
with
Franklin,
welcome
your
questions
and
comments,
and
look
forward
to
serving
your
future
investment
needs.

Economic
and

Overview
Global
developed
and
emerging
market
equities,
as
measured
by
the
MSCI
All
Country
World
Index-NR
(net
of
tax
withholding
when
dividends
are
paid),
posted
a
-20.18%
total
return
for
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2022.
1
The
combination
of
resilient
consumer
demand
and
persistent
supply-chain
disruptions
contributed
to
higher
inflation
in
many
countries.
This
inflationary
pressure
led
many
of
the
world’s
central
banks
to
adopt
less
accommodative
stances
regarding
monetary
policy.
The
Chinese
government’s
imposition
of
new
lockdowns
to
quell
the
spread
of
the
Omicron
variant
of
COVID-19
pressured
Asian
and
global
emerging
market
stocks.
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine
also
increased
investor
uncertainty,
as
international
sanctions
on
Russia
constrained
companies
that
do
business
with
Russia
and
disrupted
global
economic
activity
and
commodity
markets.
In
the
U.S.,
gross
domestic
product
(GDP)
growth
turned
negative
in
the
first
quarter
of
2022
as
high
inflation,
supply
constraints
and
record
trade
deficits
weighed
on
the
economy.
Rising
prices
precipitated
a
notable
decline
in
consumer
confidence,
despite
high
spending
levels.
In
an
effort
to
control
inflation,
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
raised
the
federal
funds
target
rate
in
March
2022
for
the
first
time
since
2018.
The
Fed
raised
the
federal
funds
rate
again
at
its
subsequent
two
meetings,
accelerating
the
rate
of
increase
each
time
to
end
the
period
at
a
range
of
1.50%–1.75%.
The
Fed
noted
in
its
June
meeting
that
inflation
remained
elevated,
as
job
growth
was
robust
and
the
unemployment
rate
remained
low.
Furthermore,
the
Fed
said
it
would
continue
to
reduce
its
bond
holdings,
and
anticipated
instituting
further
interest
rate
increases
at
future
meetings.
Economic
growth
in
the
eurozone
maintained
a
slow
rate
in
the
first
quarter
of
2022
as
the
war
in
Ukraine
disrupted
supply
chains,
sent
commodity
prices
higher,
and
weakened
the
economic
outlook.
The
war
in
Ukraine
contributed
to
record
high
inflation
across
the
eurozone
as
commodity
and
oil
prices
soared.
The
European
Central
Bank
indicated
it
will
raise
interest
rates
in
July,
the
first
increase
in
more
than
a
decade,
to
fight
growing
inflation.
In
this
environment,
European
developed
market
equities,
as
measured
by
the
MSCI
Europe
Index-NR,
posted
a
-20.79%
total
return
for
the
six
months
under
review.

Asian
developed
and
emerging
market
equities,
as
measured
by
the
MSCI
All
Country
Asia
Index-NR,
posted
a
-17.69%
total
return
for
the
six-month
period.

While
many
Asian
countries
experienced
improving
economic
conditions,
Japan’s
GDP
contracted
in
the
first
quarter
of
2022
after
having
returned
to
growth
in
the
fourth
quarter
of
2021.
Although
China’s
economy
continued
to
grow,
it
was
pressured
by
coronavirus-related
restrictions
and
government
measures
to
limit
real
estate
speculation.
Unexpected
regulatory
changes
by
the
Chinese
government,
which
negatively
impacted
education-
and
technology-
related
businesses,
and
investor
concerns
about
the
solvency
of
several
large
Chinese
property
developers
further
pressured
Chinese
stocks.
Global
emerging
market
stocks,
as
measured
by
the
MSCI
Emerging
Markets
Index-NR,
posted
a
-17.63%
total
return
for
the
six
months
under
review.
1
Following
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine,
climbing
food
and
energy
prices
kindled
inflationary
pressures
and
raised
concerns
over
the
possibility
of
government
debt
defaults
in
some
countries.
Meanwhile,
some
countries,
particularly
in
Latin
America,
as
well
as
South
Africa
and
Saudi
Arabia,
have
benefited
from
the
rising
commodity
prices.

Your
Fund’s
Goal
and
Main
Investments
The
Fund
seeks
to
make
monthly
distributions,
while
preserving
the
investors’
capital
over
the
long
term.
The
Fund
employs
an
asset
allocation
strategy,
combined
with
an
income
generation
strategy,
designed
for
investors
in
retirement.
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
allocates
the
Fund’s
assets
among
the
broad
asset
classes
of
equity
and
fixed
income
investments
and
strategies
by
investing
primarily
in
a
distinctly-weighted
combination
of
other
funds
(underlying
funds),
predominantly
other
Franklin
Templeton
and
Legg
Mason
mutual
funds
and
exchange
traded
funds
(ETFs)
and
third-party
ETFs,
based
on
each
underlying
fund’s
predominant
asset
class
and
strategy.

Class
A
shares
posted
a
-12.95%

Investment
Strategy
Under
normal
market
conditions,
40%
of
the
Fund’s
assets
are
allocated
to
equity
investments
and
60%
of
the
Fund’s
assets
are
allocated
to
fixed-income
investments.
The
underlying
funds
and
the
percentage
allocations
to
each
asset
class
may
be
changed
from
time
to
time
by
the
Fund’s
investment
manager
without
the
approval
of
shareholders,
and,
under
normal
market
conditions,
the
percentage
allocations
for
equity
and
fixed-income
funds
may
vary
up
to
10%
from
the
stated
allocations.
When
selecting
equity
funds,
the
investment
manager
considers
the
underlying
funds’
foreign
and
domestic
exposure,
market
capitalization
ranges,
and
investment
style
(growth
vs.
value).
When
selecting
fixed-income
funds,
the
investment
manager
considers
the
need
for
reduced
market
risks
and
lower
volatility,
appropriate
to
the
Fund’s
risk
profile,
and
considers
the
credit
quality,
duration
and
maturity
of
the
underlying
funds’
portfolios.
*The
portfolio
composition
is
based
on
the
Schedule
of
Investments
(SOI),
which
classifies
each
underlying
fund
and
other
fund
investments
into
a
broad
asset
class
based
on
its
predominant
investments
under
normal
market
conditions.
Manager’s
Discussion
The
Fund’s
cross-asset
allocation
contributed
to
relative
performance
and
helped
it
to
perform
better
than
its
blended
benchmark
index
for
the
six-month
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Fund
selection
overall
was
also
positive.
Within
equities,
ClearBridge
Tactical
Dividend
Income
Fund
contributed
to
relative
performance
as
the
relative
stability
of
dividend-paying
stocks
were
sought
amidst
market
volatility.
Templeton
Developing
Markets
Trust,
however,
detracted
from
relative
performance
as
international
stocks
underperformed
their
U.S.
counterparts.
Within
fixed
income,
Franklin
U.S.
Government
Securities
Fund
contributed
to
performance
with
investors
favoring
the
relative
safety
of
government-backed
credits.
Meanwhile,
Franklin
Liberty
High
Yield
Corporate
ETF
detracted
from
relative
performance
as
high-yield
spreads
widened.
The
LifeSmart
Fund
carried
an
effective
tactical
cash
position
as
a
hedge
in
a
declining
market
environment
for
both
equities
and
fixed
income.

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
possible
loss
of
principal.
Since
the
Fund
invests
in
underlying
funds,
including
exchange-traded
funds
(ETFs),
which
may
engage
in
a
variety
of
investment
strategies
involving
certain
risks,
the
Fund
is
subject
to
those
same
risks.
Stock
prices
fluctuate,
sometimes
rapidly
and
dramatically,
due
to
factors
affecting
individual
companies,
particular
industries
or
sectors,
or
general
market
conditions.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
Thus,
as
the
prices
of
bonds
in
the
Fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Foreign
investing
carries
additional
risks
such
as
currency
and
market
volatility
and
political
or
social
instability,
risks
which
are
heightened
in
developing
countries.
Investments
in
equity-linked
notes
(ELNs)
often
have
risks
similar
to
their
underlying
securities,
which
could
include
management,
market,
and,
as
applicable,
foreign
securities
and
currency
risks.
In
addition,
ELNs
are
subject
to
certain
debt
securities
risks,
such
as
interest
rate
and
credit
risks,
as
well
as
counterparty
and
liquidity
risk.
Investments
in
equity
index-linked
notes
(ILNs)
often
have
risks
similar
to
securities
in
the
underlying
index,
which
could
include
management
risk,
market
risk
and,
as
applicable,
foreign
securities
and
currency
risks.
Investments
in
derivatives
involve
costs
and
can
create
economic
leverage,
which
may
result
in
significant
volatility
and
cause
the
fund
to
participate
in
losses
(as
well
as
gains)
that
exceed
the
fund’s
initial
investment.
The
Fund
is
not
guaranteed
to
achieve
its
investment
goal
of
preserving
capital
while
making
monthly
distributions
nor
is
there
any
guarantee
that
the
Fund
will
provide
sufficient
income
at
or
through
the
investor’s
retirement.
In
addition,
some
of
its
distributions
may
be
treated
in
part
as
a
return
of
capital
which
will
de-
crease
shareholders’
cost
basis
in
the
Fund
and
affect
the
amount
of
any
capital
gain
or
loss
that
shareholders
realize
when
selling
or
exchanging
Fund
shares.
The
annual
payout
rate
may
be
adjusted
higher
or
lower
from
year
to
year,
and
could
vary
substantially
over
time.
It
is
possible
for
the
Fund
to
suffer
substantial
investment
losses
and
simultaneously
experience
additional
asset
reductions
as
a
result
of
its
distributions
to
shareholders
under
the
managed
distribution
policy.
Investors
who
hold
the
Fund
within
a
tax-advantaged
retirement
account
should
consult
their
tax
advisors
to
discuss
tax
consequences
of
receiving
cash
distributions.
In
addition,
use
of
the
Fund
or
election
of
the
option
to
receive
distribution
payments
in
cash
may
be
restricted
in
certain
retirement
plans
by
the
terms
of
the
governing
plan
documents
and/or
the
discretion
of
the
plan
administrator.
Investors
are
strongly
advised
to
consult
with
their
financial
advisor
for
assistance
before
selecting
the
appropriate
fund,
based
on
their
goals
and
personal
situations,
including
time
horizon,
retirement
income
needs,
risk
tolerance
and
tax
bracket.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
diseases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
These
and
other
risks
are
described
more
fully
in
the
Fund’s
prospectus.
Russia’s
military
invasion
of
Ukraine
in
February
2022,
the
resulting
responses
by
the
United
States
and
other
countries,
and
the
potential
for
wider
conflict
could
increase
volatility
and
uncertainty
in
the
financial
markets
and
adversely
affect
regional
and
global
economies.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
im-
posed
broad-ranging
economic
sanctions
on
Russia
and
certain
Russian
individuals,
banking
entities
and
corporations
as
a
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
also
imposed
economic
sanctions
on
Belarus
and
may
impose
sanctions
on
other
countries
that
support
Russia’s
military
invasion.
These
sanctions,
as
well
as
any
other
economic
consequences
related
to
the
invasion,
such
as
additional
sanctions,
boycotts
or
changes
in
consumer
or
purchaser
preferences
or
cyberattacks
on
governments,
companies
or
individuals,
may
further
decrease
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
Russian
securities
and
securities
of
issuers
in
other
countries
that
are
subject
to
economic
sanctions
related
to
the
invasion.

The
Fund
has
an
expense
reduction
and
a
fee
waiver
associated
with
any
investments
it
makes
in
a
Franklin
Templeton
money
fund
and/or
other
underlying
fund,
contractually
guaranteed
through
4/30/23.
Fund
investment
results
reflect
the
expense
reduction
and
fee
waiver;
without
these
reductions,
the
results
would
have
been
lower.
Effective
1/29/21,
the

change
its

(the

of

as

5/1/16,
the
Fund
changed
its
name
from

in
connection
with
changes
to
its
strategies
including,
among
other
things,
the
addition
of
an
income
generation
strategy
to
support
the
Fund’s
managed
distribution
policy.
Prior
to
that,
as
of
October
2013,
the
Fund’s
glide
path
was
modified,
and
among
other
changes,
reflects
a
lower
starting
allocation
to
equity
funds.
Such
changes
can
impact

Expenses

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.

Expenses
are
equal
to
the

for
the
six-month

as

above—in

the

*The
portfolio
composition
is
based
on
the
Schedule
of
Investments
(SOI),
which
classifies
each
underlying
fund
and
other
fund
investments
into
a
broad
asset
class
based
on
its
predominant
investments
under
normal
market
conditions.
Investment
Strategy
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
uses
a
predetermined
glide
path
as
a
guide
in
allocating
the
Fund’s
assets
among
underlying
funds
in
the
broad
asset
classes
(the
Neutral
Glide
Path).
However,
when
the
investment
manager’s
proprietary
risk
indicator
model
signals
a
sustained
level
of
market
turbulence
or
a
prolonged
down
(or
bear)
market,
the
investment
manager
may,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
employ
a
defensive
glide
path,
which
has
higher
fixed
income
and
lower
equity
allocations
than
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
(the
Defensive
Glide
Path).
Then,
if
the
market
stabilizes,
the
investment
manager
may,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
shift
the
Fund’s
portfolio
back
to
the
Neutral
Glide
Path.
These
glide
path
shifts
are
executed
through
purchases
and
sales
of
underlying
funds
and
ETFs
to
increase
or
decrease
the
Funds’
equity
and
fixed
income
allocations.
The
target
asset
allocations
in
the
Neutral
and
Defensive
Glide
Paths
change
over
time,
reducing
their
exposure
to
equity
investments
and
becoming
increasingly
conservative
until
approximately
seven
years
after
the
stated
target
date.
At
seven
years
after
the
target
date,
the
Fund’s
final
asset
allocation
mix
will
be
40%
equity
funds
and
60%
fixed-
income
funds
under
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
and
30%
equity
funds
and
70%
fixed-income
funds
under
the
Defensive
Glide
Path.
When
selecting
equity
funds,
the
investment
manager
considers
the
underlying
funds’
foreign
and
domestic
exposure,
market
capitalization
ranges,
and
investment
style
(growth
vs.
value).

Manager’s
Discussion
The
Fund’s
cross-asset
allocation
contributed
to
relative
performance
and
helped
it
to
perform
better
than
its
blended
benchmark
index
for
the
six-month
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Fund
selection
overall
was
also
positive.
Within
equities,
Franklin
U.S.
Core
Equity
(IU)
Fund
contributed
to
relative
performance
due
in
part
to
its
systematic
process
focused
on
quality,
value
and
momentum
style
factors.
Franklin
International
Growth
Fund,
however,
detracted
from
relative
performance
as
international
growth
stocks
were
out
of
favor.
Within
fixed
income,
the
shorter
duration
positioning
of
the
Franklin
Liberty
International
Aggregate
Bond
ETF
contributed
to
relative
performance
in
a
challenging
environment
for
international
bonds.
Meanwhile,
Western
Asset
Core
Plus
Bond
Fund
underperformed
as
it
was
positioned
with
a
view
that
inflation
would
be
short
lived.
Its
longer
duration
positioning
negatively
impacted
performance
in
the
first
half
of
2022.
The
LifeSmart
Fund
carried
an
effective
tactical
cash
position
as
a
hedge
in
a
declining
market
environment
for
both
equities
and
fixed
income.
The
Fund
did
not
use
derivatives

Summary

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
The
Fund’s
investment
risk
changes
over
time
as
its
asset
allocation
changes.
Since
the
Fund
invests
in
underlying
funds,
including
exchange-traded
funds
(ETFs),
which
may
engage
in
a
variety
of
investment
strategies
involving
certain
risks,
the
Fund
is
subject
to
those
same
risks.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
loss
of
principal.
Principal
invested
is
not
guaranteed
at
any
time,
including
at
or
after
the
Fund’s
retirement
target
date;
nor
is
there
any
guarantee
that
the
Fund
will
provide
sufficient
income
at
or
through
the
investor’s
retirement.
Stock
prices
fluctuate,
sometimes
rapidly
and
dramatically,
due
to
factors
affecting
individual
companies,
particular
industries
or
sectors,
or
general
market
conditions.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
Thus,
as
the
price
of
bonds
in
the
Fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Foreign
investing
carries
additional
risks
such
as
currency
and
market
volatility
and
political
or
social
instability,
risks
which
are
heightened
in
developing
countries.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
dis-
eases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
These
risks
are
described
more
fully
in
the
Fund’s
prospectus.
Investors
should
consult
their
financial
advisor
for
help
selecting
the
appropriate
fund
of
funds,
or
fund
combination,
based
on
an
evaluation
of
their
investment
objectives,
retirement
horizons
and
risk
tolerance.
Russia’s
military
invasion
of
Ukraine
in
February
2022,
the
resulting
responses
by
the
United
States
and
other
countries,
and
the
potential
for
wider
conflict
could
increase
volatility
and
uncertainty
in
the
financial
markets
and
adversely
affect
regional
and
global
economies.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
im-
posed
broad-ranging
economic
sanctions
on
Russia
and
certain
Russian
individuals,
banking
entities
and
corporations
as
a
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
also
imposed
economic
sanctions
on
Belarus
and
may
impose
sanctions
on
other
countries
that
support
Russia’s
military
invasion.
These
sanctions,
as
well
as
any
other
economic
consequences
related
to
the
invasion,
such
as
additional
sanctions,
boycotts
or
changes
in
consumer
or
purchaser
preferences
or
cyberattacks
on
governments,
companies
or
individuals,
may
further
decrease
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
Russian
securities
and
securities
of
issuers
in
other
countries
that
are
subject
to
economic
sanctions
related
to
the
invasion.

The

has
an
expense
reduction

it

fund
and/or
other
underlying

contrac-

through

over

to
be
in
line
with
the
new

age
of
72.
Previously,
as
of
May
2019,
the
Fund’s
predetermined
asset

glide
path
was
modified,
and
among
other
changes,
establishes
neutral
and
defensive
glide
paths,
between
which
the
Funds’
investment
manager
could
shift
depending
on
projected
market
volatility.
Prior
to
that,
as
of
October
2013,
the
Fund’s
glide
path
was
modified,
and
among
other
changes,
reflects
a
lower
starting
allocation
to
equity
funds.
Such
changes
can
impact
performance.

As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses

Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.
1.
Expenses
are
equal
to
the
annualized
expense
ratio
for
the
six-month
period
as
indicated
above—in
the

by
the
simple
average
account
value
over
the

and
then
multiplied
by

™
2025
Retirement
Target
Fund
This
semiannual
report
for
Franklin
LifeSmart
TM
2025
Retirement
Target
Fund
covers
the
period
ended
June
30
,
2022
.
Your
Fund’s
Goal
and
Main
Investments
The
Fund
seeks
the
highest
level
of
long-term
total
return
consistent
with
its
asset
allocation.
The
Fund
employs
an
asset
allocation
strategy
designed
for
investors
who
are
expecting
to
retire
and
who
are
likely
to
stop
making
new
investments
in
the
Fund
around
the
specific
target
year
(target
date),
as
indicated
in
the
Fund’s
name,
but
who
are
expecting
to
delay
withdrawals
until
approximately
seven
years
after
the
target
date
(around
their
required
minimum
distribution
age).
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
allocates
the
Fund’s
assets
among
the
broad
asset
classes
of
equity
and
fixed
income
investments
and
strategies
by
investing
primarily
in
a
distinctly-weighted
combination
of
other
funds
(underlying
funds),
predominantly
other
Franklin
Templeton
and
Legg
Mason
mutual
funds
and
exchange
traded
funds
(ETFs)
and
third-party
ETFs,
based
on
each
underlying
fund’s
predominant
asset
class
and
strategy.

*The
portfolio
composition
is
based
on
the
Schedule
of
Investments
(SOI),
which
classifies
each
underlying
fund
and
other
fund
investments
into
a
broad
asset
class
based
on
its
predominant
investments
under
normal
market
conditions.
Investment
Strategy
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
uses
a
predetermined
glide
path
as
a
guide
in
allocating
the
Fund’s
assets
among
underlying
funds
in
the
broad
asset
classes
(the
Neutral
Glide
Path).
However,
when
the
investment
manager’s
proprietary
risk
indicator
model
signals
a
sustained
level
of
market
turbulence
or
a
prolonged
down
(or
bear)
market,
the
investment
manager
may,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
employ
a
defensive
glide
path,
which
has
higher
fixed
income
and
lower
equity
allocations
than
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
(the
Defensive
Glide
Path).
Then,
if
the
market
stabilizes,
the
investment
manager
may,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
shift
the
Fund’s
portfolio
back
to
the
Neutral
Glide
Path.
These
glide
path
shifts
are
executed
through
purchases
and
sales
of
underlying
funds
and
ETFs
to
increase
or
decrease
the
Funds’
equity
and
fixed
income
allocations.
The
target
asset
allocations
in
the
Neutral
and
Defensive
Glide
Paths
change
over
time,
reducing
their
exposure
to
equity
investments
and
becoming
increasingly
conservative
until
approximately
seven
years
after
the
stated
target
date.
At
seven
years
after
the
target
date,
the
Fund’s
final
asset
allocation
mix
will
be
40%
equity
funds
and
60%
fixed-
income
funds
under
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
and
30%
equity
funds
and
70%
fixed-income
funds
under
the
Defensive
Glide
Path.
When
selecting
equity
funds,
the
investment
manager
considers
the
underlying
funds’
foreign
and
domestic
exposure,
market
capitalization
ranges,
and
investment
style
(growth
vs.
value).

Manager’s
Discussion
The
Fund’s
cross-asset
allocation
contributed
to
relative
performance
and
helped
it
to
perform
better
than
its
blended
benchmark
index
for
the
six-month
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Fund
selection
overall
was
also
positive.
Within
equities,
Franklin
U.S.
Core
Equity
(IU)
Fund
contributed
to
relative
performance
due
in
part
to
its
systematic
process
focused
on
quality,
value
and
momentum
style
factors.
Franklin
International
Growth
Fund,
however,
detracted
from
relative
performance
as
international
growth
stocks
were
out
of
favor.
Within
fixed
income,
the
shorter
duration
positioning
of
the
Franklin
Liberty
International
Aggregate
Bond
ETF
contributed
to
relative
performance
in
a
challenging
environment
for
international
bonds.
Meanwhile,
Western
Asset
Core
Plus
Bond
Fund
underperformed
as
it
was
positioned
with
a
view
that
inflation
would
be
short
lived.
Its
longer
duration
positioning
negatively
impacted
performance
in
the
first
half
of
2022.
The
LifeSmart
Fund
carried
an
effective
tactical
cash
position
as
a
hedge
in
a
declining
market
environment
for
both
equities
and
fixed
income.
The
Fund
did
not
use
derivatives
during
the
reporting
period.

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
The
Fund’s
investment
risk
changes
over
time
as
its
asset
allocation
changes.
Since
the
Fund
invests
in
underlying
funds,
including
exchange-traded
funds
(ETFs),
which
may
engage
in
a
variety
of
investment
strategies
involving
certain
risks,
the
Fund
is
subject
to
those
same
risks.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
loss
of
principal.
Principal
invested
is
not
guaranteed
at
any
time,
including
at
or
after
the
Fund’s
retirement
target
date;
nor
is
there
any
guarantee
that
the
Fund
will
provide
sufficient
income
at
or
through
the
investor’s
retirement.
Stock
prices
fluctuate,
sometimes
rapidly
and
dramatically,
due
to
factors
affecting
individual
companies,
particular
industries
or
sectors,
or
general
market
conditions.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
Thus,
as
the
price
of
bonds
in
the
Fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Foreign
investing
carries
additional
risks
such
as
currency
and
market
volatility
and
political
or
social
instability,
risks
which
are
heightened
in
developing
countries.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
dis-
eases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
These
risks
are
described
more
fully
in
the
Fund’s
prospectus.
Investors
should
consult
their
financial
advisor
for
help
selecting
the
appropriate
fund
of
funds,
or
fund
combination,
based
on
an
evaluation
of
their
investment
objectives,
retirement
horizons
and
risk
tolerance.
Russia’s
military
invasion
of
Ukraine
in
February
2022,
the
resulting
responses
by
the
United
States
and
other
countries,
and
the
potential
for
wider
conflict
could
increase
volatility
and
uncertainty
in
the
financial
markets
and
adversely
affect
regional
and
global
economies.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
im-
posed
broad-ranging
economic
sanctions
on
Russia
and
certain
Russian
individuals,
banking
entities
and
corporations
as
a
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
also
imposed
economic
sanctions
on
Belarus
and
may
impose
sanctions
on
other
countries
that
support
Russia’s
military
invasion.
These
sanctions,
as
well
as
any
other
economic
consequences
related
to
the
invasion,
such
as
additional
sanctions,
boycotts
or
changes
in
consumer
or
purchaser
preferences
or
cyberattacks
on
governments,
companies
or
individuals,
may
further
decrease
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
Russian
securities
and
securities
of
issuers
in
other
countries
that
are
subject
to
economic
sanctions
related
to
the
invasion.
1.
The
Fund
has
an
expense
reduction
and
a
fee
waiver
associated
with
any
investments
it
makes
in
a
Franklin
Templeton
money
fund
and/or
other
underlying
fund,
contrac-
tually
guaranteed
through
4/30/23.
Fund
investment
results
reflect
the
expense
reduction
and
fee
waiver;
without
these
reductions,
the
results
would
have
been
lower.
Effec-
tive
1/29/21,
the
Fund
modified
the
landing
point
of
its
glide
path
(the
strategic
asset
allocation
of
a
target
date
fund
over
time)
to
be
in
line
with
the
new
required
minimum
distribution
(RMD)
age
of
72.
Previously,
as
of
May
2019,
the
Fund’s
predetermined
asset
allocation
glide
path
was
modified,
and
among
other
changes,
establishes
neutral
and
defensive
glide
paths,
between
which
the
Funds’
investment
manager
could
shift
depending
on
projected
market
volatility.
Prior
to
that,
as
of
October
2013,
the
Fund’s
glide
path
was
modified,
and
among
other
changes,
reflects
a
lower
starting
allocation
to
equity
funds.
Such
changes
can
impact
performance.

Semiannual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.
1.
Expenses
are
equal
to
the
annualized
expense
ratio
for
the
six-month
period
as
indicated
above—in
the
far
right
column—multiplied
by
the
simple
average
account
value
over
the
period
indicated,
and
then
multiplied
by
181/365
to
reflect
the
one-half

period.

Target

This

report
for
Franklin
LifeSmart
TM
2030
Retirement
Target
Fund
covers
the
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Your
Fund’s
Goal
and
Main
Investments
The
Fund
seeks
the
highest
level
of
long-term
total
return
consistent
with
its
asset
allocation.
The
Fund
employs
an
asset
allocation
strategy
designed
for
investors
who
are
expecting
to
retire
and
who
are
likely
to
stop
making
new
investments
in
the
Fund
around
the
specific
target
year
(target
date),
as
indicated
in
the
Fund’s
name,
but
who
are
expecting
to
delay
withdrawals
until
approximately
seven
years
after
the
target
date
(around
their
required
minimum
distribution
age).
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
allocates
the
Fund’s
assets
among
the
broad
asset
classes
of
equity
and
fixed
income
investments
and
strategies
by
investing
primarily
in
a
distinctly-weighted
combination
of
other
funds
(underlying
funds),
predominantly
other
Franklin
Templeton
and
Legg
Mason
mutual
funds
and
exchange
traded
funds
(ETFs)
and
third-party
ETFs,
based
on
each
underlying
fund’s
predominant
asset
class
and
strategy.

*The
portfolio
composition
is
based
on
the
Schedule
of
Investments
(SOI),
which
classifies
each
underlying
fund
and
other
fund
investments
into
a
broad
asset
class
based
on
its
predominant
investments
under
normal
market
conditions.
Investment
Strategy
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
uses
a
predetermined
glide
path
as
a
guide
in
allocating
the
Fund’s
assets
among
underlying
funds
in
the
broad
asset
classes
(the
Neutral
Glide
Path).
However,
when
the
investment
manager’s
proprietary
risk
indicator
model
signals
a
sustained
level
of
market
turbulence
or
a
prolonged
down
(or
bear)
market,
the
investment
manager
may,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
employ
a
defensive
glide
path,
which
has
higher
fixed
income
and
lower
equity
allocations
than
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
(the
Defensive
Glide
Path).
Then,
if
the
market
stabilizes,
the
investment
manager
may,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
shift
the
Fund’s
portfolio
back
to
the
Neutral
Glide
Path.
These
glide
path
shifts
are
executed
through
purchases
and
sales
of
underlying
funds
and
ETFs
to
increase
or
decrease
the
Funds’
equity
and
fixed
income
allocations.
The
target
asset
allocations
in
the
Neutral
and
Defensive
Glide
Paths
change
over
time,
reducing
their
exposure
to
equity
investments
and
becoming
increasingly
conservative
until
approximately
seven
years
after
the
stated
target
date.
At
seven
years
after
the
target
date,
the
Fund’s
final
asset
allocation
mix
will
be
40%
equity
funds
and
60%
fixed-
income
funds
under
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
and
30%
equity
funds
and
70%
fixed-income
funds
under
the
Defensive
Glide
Path.
When
selecting
equity
funds,
the
investment
manager
considers
the
underlying
funds’
foreign
and
domestic
exposure,
market
capitalization
ranges,
and
investment
style
(growth
vs.
value).

Manager’s
Discussion
The
Fund’s
cross-asset
allocation
contributed
to
relative
performance
and
helped
it
to
perform
better
than
its
blended
benchmark
index
for
the
six-month
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Fund
selection
overall
was
also
positive.
Within
equities,
Franklin
U.S.
Core
Equity
(IU)
Fund
contributed
to
relative
performance
due
in
part
to
its
systematic
process
focused
on
quality,
value
and
momentum
style
factors.
Franklin
International
Growth
Fund,
however,
detracted
from
relative
performance
as
international
growth
stocks
were
out
of
favor.
Within
fixed
income,
the
shorter
duration
positioning
of
the
Franklin
Liberty
International
Aggregate
Bond
ETF
contributed
to
relative
performance
in
a
challenging
environment
for
international
bonds.
Meanwhile,
Western
Asset
Core
Plus
Bond
Fund
underperformed
as
it
was
positioned
with
a
view
that
inflation
would
be
short
lived.
Its
longer
duration
positioning
negatively
impacted
performance
in
the
first
half
of
2022.
The
LifeSmart
Fund
carried
an
effective
tactical
cash
position
as
a
hedge
in
a
declining
market
environment
for
both
equities
and
fixed
income.
The
Fund
did
not
use
derivatives
during
the
reporting
period.

risks.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
loss
of
principal.
Principal
invested
is
not
guaranteed
at
any
time,
including
at
or
after
the
Fund’s
retirement
target
date;
nor
is
there
any
guarantee
that
the
Fund
will
provide
sufficient
income
at
or
through
the
investor’s
retirement.
Stock
prices
fluctuate,
sometimes
rapidly
and
dramatically,
due
to
factors
affecting
individual
companies,
particular
industries
or
sectors,
or
general
market
conditions.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
Thus,
as
the
price
of
bonds
in
the
Fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Foreign
investing
carries
additional
risks
such
as
currency
and
market
volatility
and
political
or
social
instability,
risks
which
are
heightened
in
developing
countries.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
dis-
eases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
These
risks
are
described
more
fully
in
the
Fund’s
prospectus.
Investors
should
consult
their
financial
advisor
for
help
selecting
the
appropriate
fund
of
funds,
or
fund
combination,
based
on
an
evaluation
of
their
investment
objectives,
retirement
horizons
and
risk
tolerance.
Russia’s
military
invasion
of
Ukraine
in
February
2022,
the
resulting
responses
by
the
United
States
and
other
countries,
and
the
potential
for
wider
conflict
could
increase
volatility
and
uncertainty
in
the
financial
markets
and
adversely
affect
regional
and
global
economies.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
im-
posed
broad-ranging
economic
sanctions
on
Russia
and
certain
Russian
individuals,
banking
entities
and
corporations
as
a
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
also
imposed
economic
sanctions
on
Belarus
and
may
impose
sanctions
on
other
countries
that
support
Russia’s
military
invasion.
These
sanctions,
as
well
as
any
other
economic
consequences
related
to
the
invasion,
such
as
additional
sanctions,
boycotts
or
changes
in
consumer
or
purchaser
preferences
or
cyberattacks
on
governments,
companies
or
individuals,
may
further
decrease
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
Russian
securities
and
securities
of
issuers
in
other
countries
that
are
subject
to
economic
sanctions
related
to
the
invasion.

The
Fund
has
an
expense
reduction
and
a

associated
with
any

it
makes
in
a
Franklin

fund
and/or
other
underlying
fund,
contrac-
tually
guaranteed
through

Fund
investment
results
reflect
the

without
these

the
results
would
have
been
lower.
Effec-
tive
1/29/21,
the
Fund
modified
the
landing
point
of
its
glide
path
(the
strategic
asset
allocation
of
a
target
date
fund
over
time)
to
be
in
line
with
the
new
required
minimum
distribution
(RMD)
age
of
72.
Previously,
as
of
May
2019,
the
Fund’s
predetermined
asset
allocation
glide
path
was
modified,
and
among
other
changes,
establishes
neutral
and
defensive
glide
paths,
between
which
the
Funds’
investment
manager
could
shift
depending
on
projected
market
volatility.
Prior
to
that,
as
of
October
2013,
the
Fund’s
glide
path
was
modified,
and
among
other
changes,
reflects
a
lower
starting
allocation
to
equity
funds.
Such
changes
can
impact
performance.

Semiannual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.
1.
Expenses
are
equal
to
the
annualized
expense
ratio
for
the
six-month
period
as
indicated
above—in
the
far
right
column—multiplied
by
the
simple
average
account
value
over
the

and
then
multiplied
by

the
one-half

This

report
for
Franklin
LifeSmart
TM
2035
Retirement
Target
Fund
covers
the
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Your
Fund’s
Goal
and
Main
Investments
The
Fund
seeks
the
highest
level
of
long-term
total
return
consistent
with
its
asset
allocation.
The
Fund
employs
an
asset
allocation
strategy
designed
for
investors
who
are
expecting
to
retire
and
who
are
likely
to
stop
making
new
investments
in
the
Fund
around
the
specific
target
year
(target
date),
as
indicated
in
the
Fund’s
name,
but
who
are
expecting
to
delay
withdrawals
until
approximately
seven
years
after
the
target
date
(around
their
required
minimum
distribution
age).
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
allocates
the
Fund’s
assets
among
the
broad
asset
classes
of
equity
and
fixed
income
investments
and
strategies
by
investing
primarily
in
a
distinctly-weighted
combination
of
other
funds
(underlying
funds),
predominantly
other
Franklin
Templeton
and
Legg
Mason
mutual
funds
and
exchange
traded
funds
(ETFs)
and
third-party
ETFs,
based
on
each
underlying
fund’s
predominant
asset
class
and
strategy.

*The
portfolio
composition
is
based
on
the
Schedule
of
Investments
(SOI),
which
classifies
each
underlying
fund
and
other
fund
investments
into
a
broad
asset
class
based
on
its
predominant
investments
under
normal
market
conditions.
Investment
Strategy
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
uses
a
predetermined
glide
path
as
a
guide
in
allocating
the
Fund’s
assets
among
underlying
funds
in
the
broad
asset
classes
(the
Neutral
Glide
Path).
However,
when
the
investment
manager’s
proprietary
risk
indicator
model
signals
a
sustained
level
of
market
turbulence
or
a
prolonged
down
(or
bear)
market,
the
investment
manager
may,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
employ
a
defensive
glide
path,
which
has
higher
fixed
income
and
lower
equity
allocations
than
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
(the
Defensive
Glide
Path).
Then,
if
the
market
stabilizes,
the
investment
manager
may,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
shift
the
Fund’s
portfolio
back
to
the
Neutral
Glide
Path.
These
glide
path
shifts
are
executed
through
purchases
and
sales
of
underlying
funds
and
ETFs
to
increase
or
decrease
the
Funds’
equity
and
fixed
income
allocations.
The
target
asset
allocations
in
the
Neutral
and
Defensive
Glide
Paths
change
over
time,
reducing
their
exposure
to
equity
investments
and
becoming
increasingly
conservative
until
approximately
seven
years
after
the
stated
target
date.
At
seven
years
after
the
target
date,
the
Fund’s
final
asset
allocation
mix
will
be
40%
equity
funds
and
60%
fixed-
income
funds
under
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
and
30%
equity
funds
and
70%
fixed-income
funds
under
the
Defensive
Glide
Path.
When
selecting
equity
funds,
the
investment
manager
considers
the
underlying
funds’
foreign
and
domestic
exposure,
market
capitalization
ranges,
and
investment
style
(growth
vs.
value).

Manager’s
Discussion
The
Fund’s
cross-asset
allocation
contributed
to
relative
performance
and
helped
it
to
perform
better
than
its
blended
benchmark
index
for
the
six-month
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Fund
selection
overall
was
also
positive.
Within
equities,
Franklin
U.S.
Core
Equity
(IU)
Fund
contributed
to
relative
performance
due
in
part
to
its
systematic
process
focused
on
quality,
value
and
momentum
style
factors.
Franklin
International
Growth
Fund,
however,
detracted
from
relative
performance
as
international
growth
stocks
were
out
of
favor.
Within
fixed
income,
the
shorter
duration
positioning
of
the
Franklin
Liberty
International
Aggregate
Bond
ETF
contributed
to
relative
performance
in
a
challenging
environment
for
international
bonds.
Meanwhile,
Western
Asset
Core
Plus
Bond
Fund
underperformed
as
it
was
positioned
with
a
view
that
inflation
would
be
short
lived.
Its
longer
duration
positioning
negatively
impacted
performance
in
the
first
half
of
2022.
The
LifeSmart
Fund
carried
an
effective
tactical
cash
position
as
a
hedge
in
a
declining
market
environment
for
both
equities
and
fixed
income.
The
Fund
did
not
use
derivatives
during
the
reporting
period.

Summary

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
The
Fund’s
investment
risk
changes
over
time
as
its
asset
allocation
changes.
Since
the
Fund
invests
in
underlying
funds,
including
exchange-traded
(ETFs),
which
may
engage
in
a
variety
of
investment
strategies
involving
certain
risks,
the
Fund
is
subject
to
those
same
risks.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
loss
of
principal.
Principal
invested
is
not
guaranteed
at
any
time,
including
at
or
after
the
Fund’s
retirement
target
date;
nor
is
there
any
guarantee
that
the
Fund
will
provide
sufficient
income
at
or
through
the
investor’s
retirement.
Stock
prices
fluctuate,
sometimes
rapidly
and
dramatically,
due
to
factors
affecting
individ-
ual
companies,
particular
industries
or
sectors,
or
general
market
conditions.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
Thus,
as
the
price
of
bonds
in
the
Fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Foreign
investing
carries
additional
risks
such
as
currency
and
market
volatility
and
political
or
social
instability,
risks
which
are
heightened
in
developing
countries.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
diseases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
These
risks
are
described
more
fully
in
the
Fund’s
prospectus.
Investors
should
consult
their
financial
advisor
for
help
selecting
the
appropriate
fund
of
funds,
or
fund
combination,
based
on
an
evaluation
of
their
investment
objectives,
retirement
horizons
and
risk
tolerance.
Russia’s
military
invasion
of
Ukraine
in
February
2022,
the
resulting
responses
by
the
United
States
and
other
countries,
and
the
potential
for
wider
conflict
could
increase
volatility
and
uncertainty
in
the
financial
markets
and
adversely
affect
regional
and
global
economies.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
im-
posed
broad-ranging
economic
sanctions
on
Russia
and
certain
Russian
individuals,
banking
entities
and
corporations
as
a
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
also
imposed
economic
sanctions
on
Belarus
and
may
impose
sanctions
on
other
countries
that
support
Russia’s
military
invasion.
These
sanctions,
as
well
as
any
other
economic
consequences
related
to
the
invasion,
such
as
additional
sanctions,
boycotts
or
changes
in
consumer
or
purchaser
preferences
or
cyberattacks
on
governments,
companies
or
individuals,
may
further
decrease
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
Russian
securities
and
securities
of
issuers
in
other
countries
that
are
subject
to
economic
sanctions
related
to
the
invasion.

The
Fund
has
an
expense
reduction
and
a
fee
waiver
associated
with
any
investments
it
makes
in
a
Franklin
Templeton
money
fund
and/or
other
underlying
fund,
contrac-
tually
guaranteed
through
4/30/23.
Fund
investment
results
reflect
the
expense
reduction
and
fee
waiver;
without
these
reductions,
the
results
would
have
been
lower.
Effec-
tive
1/29/21,
the
Fund
modified
the
landing
point
of
its
glide
path
(the
strategic
asset
allocation
of
a
target
date
fund
over
time)
to
be
in
line
with
the
new
required
minimum
distribution
(RMD)
age
of
72.
Previously,
as
of
May
2019,
the
Fund’s
predetermined
asset
allocation
glide
path
was
modified,
and
among
other
changes,
establishes
neutral
and
defensive
glide
paths,
between
which
the
Funds’
investment
manager
could
shift
depending
on
projected
market
volatility.
Prior
to
that,
as
of
October
2013,
the
Fund’s
glide
path
was
modified,
and
among
other
changes,
reflects
a
lower
starting
allocation
to
equity
funds.
Such
changes
can
impact
performance.

Semiannual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.

Target
Fund
covers
the
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Your
Fund’s
Goal
and
Main
Investments
The
Fund
seeks
the
highest
level
of
long-term
total
return
consistent
with
its
asset
allocation.
The
Fund
employs
an
asset
allocation
strategy
designed
for
investors
who
are
expecting
to
retire
and
who
are
likely
to
stop
making
new
investments
in
the
Fund
around
the
specific
target
year
(target
date),
as
indicated
in
the
Fund’s
name,
but
who
are
expecting
to
delay
withdrawals
until
approximately
seven
years
after
the
target
date
(around
their
required
minimum
distribution
age).
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
allocates
the
Fund’s
assets
among
the
broad
asset
classes
of
equity
and
fixed
income
investments
and
strategies
by
investing
primarily
in
a
distinctly-weighted
combination
of
other
funds
(underlying

predominantly
other
Franklin
Templeton
and
Legg
Mason
mutual
funds
and
exchange

funds
(ETFs)
and

based
on
each

and

*The
portfolio
composition
is
based
on
the
Schedule
of
Investments
(SOI),
which
classifies
each
underlying
fund
and
other
fund
investments
into
a
broad
asset
class
based
on
its
predominant
investments
under
normal
market
conditions.
Investment
Strategy
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
uses
a
predetermined
glide
path
as
a
guide
in
allocating
the
Fund’s
assets
among
underlying
funds
in
the
broad
asset
classes
(the
Neutral
Glide
Path).
However,
when
the
investment
manager’s
proprietary
risk
indicator
model
signals
a
sustained
level
of
market
turbulence
or
a
prolonged
down
(or
bear)
market,
the
investment
manager
may,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
employ
a
defensive
glide
path,
which
has
higher
fixed
income
and
lower
equity
allocations
than
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
(the
Defensive
Glide
Path).
Then,
if
the
market
stabilizes,
the
investment
manager
may,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
shift
the
Fund’s
portfolio
back
to
the
Neutral
Glide
Path.
These
glide
path
shifts
are
executed
through
purchases
and
sales
of
underlying
funds
and
ETFs
to
increase
or
decrease
the
Funds’
equity
and
fixed
income
allocations.
The
target
asset
allocations
in
the
Neutral
and
Defensive
Glide
Paths
change
over
time,
reducing
their
exposure
to
equity
investments
and
becoming
increasingly
conservative
until
approximately
seven
years
after
the
stated
target
date.
At
seven
years
after
the
target
date,
the
Fund’s
final
asset
allocation
mix
will
be
40%
equity
funds
and
60%
fixed-
income
funds
under
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
and
30%
equity
funds
and
70%
fixed-income
funds
under
the
Defensive
Glide
Path.
When
selecting
equity
funds,
the
investment
manager
considers
the
underlying
funds’
foreign
and
domestic
exposure,
market
capitalization
ranges,
and
investment
style
(growth
vs.
value).
When
selecting
fixed-income
funds,
the
investment
manager

Manager’s
Discussion
The
Fund’s
cross-asset
allocation
contributed
to
relative
performance
and
helped
it
to
perform
better
than
its
blended
benchmark
index
for
the
six-month
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Fund
selection
overall
was
also
positive.
Within
equities,
Franklin
U.S.
Core
Equity
(IU)
Fund
contributed
to
relative
performance
due
in
part
to
its
systematic
process
focused
on
quality,
value
and
momentum
style
factors.
Franklin
International
Growth
Fund,
however,
detracted
from
relative
performance
as
international
growth
stocks
were
out
of
favor.
Within
fixed
income,
Western
Asset
Short-Term
Bond
Fund
contributed
as
credits
with
shorter
terms
were
favored
in
the
rising
interest-rate
environment.
Meanwhile,
Western
Asset
Core
Plus
Bond
Fund
underperformed
as
it
was
positioned
with
a
view
that
inflation
would
be
short
lived.
Its
longer
duration
positioning
negatively
impacted
performance
in
the
first
half
of
2022.
The
LifeSmart
Fund
carried
an
effective
tactical
cash
position
as
a
hedge
in
a
declining
market
environment
for
both
equities
and
fixed
income.
The
Fund
did
not
use
derivatives
during
the
reporting
period.

Summary

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
The
Fund’s
investment
risk
changes
over
time
as
its
asset
allocation
changes.
Since
the
Fund
invests
in
underlying
funds,
including
exchanged-traded
funds
(ETFs),
which
may
engage
in
a
variety
of
investment
strategies
involving
certain
risks,
the
Fund
is
subject
to
those
same
risks.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
loss
of
principal.
Principal
invested
is
not
guaranteed
at
any
time,
including
at
or
after
the
Fund’s
retirement
target
date;
nor
is
there
any
guarantee
that
the
Fund
will
provide
sufficient
income
at
or
through
the
investor’s
retirement.
Stock
prices
fluctuate,
sometimes
rapidly
and
dramatically,
due
to
factors
affecting
individual
companies,
particular
industries
or
sectors,
or
general
market
conditions.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
Thus,
as
the
price
of
bonds
in
the
Fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Foreign
investing
carries
additional
risks
such
as
currency
and
market
volatility
and
political
or
social
instability,
risks
which
are
heightened
in
developing
countries.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
dis-
eases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
These
risks
are
described
more
fully
in
the
Fund’s
prospectus.
Investors
should
consult
their
financial
advisor
for
help
selecting
the
appropriate
fund
of
funds,
or
fund
combination,
based
on
an
evaluation
of
their
investment
objectives,
retirement
horizons
and
risk
tolerance.
Russia’s
military
invasion
of
Ukraine
in
February
2022,
the
resulting
responses
by
the
United
States
and
other
countries,
and
the
potential
for
wider
conflict
could
increase
volatility
and
uncertainty
in
the
financial
markets
and
adversely
affect
regional
and
global
economies.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
im-
posed
broad-ranging
economic
sanctions
on
Russia
and
certain
Russian
individuals,
banking
entities
and
corporations
as
a
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
also
imposed
economic
sanctions
on
Belarus
and
may
impose
sanctions
on
other
countries
that
support
Russia’s
military
invasion.
These
sanctions,
as
well
as
any
other
economic
consequences
related
to
the
invasion,
such
as
additional
sanctions,
boycotts
or
changes
in
consumer
or
purchaser
preferences
or
cyberattacks
on
governments,
companies
or
individuals,
may
further
decrease
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
Russian
securities
and
securities
of
issuers
in
other
countries
that
are
subject
to
economic
sanctions
related
to
the
invasion.
1.
The
Fund
has
an
expense
reduction
and
a
fee
waiver
associated
with
any
investments
it
makes
in
a
Franklin
Templeton
money
fund
and/or
other
underlying
fund,
contrac-
tually
guaranteed
through
4/30/23.
Fund
investment
results
reflect
the
expense
reduction
and
fee
waiver;
without
these
reductions,
the
results
would
have
been
lower.
Effec-
tive
1/29/21,
the
Fund
modified
the
landing
point
of
its
glide
path
(the
strategic
asset
allocation
of
a
target
date
fund
over
time)
to
be
in
line
with
the
new
required
minimum
distribution
(RMD)
age
of
72.
Previously,
as
of
May
2019,
the
Fund’s
predetermined
asset
allocation
glide
path
was
modified,
and
among
other
changes,
establishes
neutral
and
defensive
glide
paths,
between
which
the
Funds’
investment
manager
could
shift
depending
on
projected
market
volatility.
Prior
to
that,
as
of
October
2013,
the
Fund’s
glide
path
was
modified,
and
among
other
changes,
reflects
a
lower
starting
allocation
to
equity
funds.
Such
changes
can
impact
performance.

Prior
to

these
shares
were
offered
at
a
higher
initial

of
5.75%,
thus
actual
returns
(with
sales
charges)
would
have
differed.
Average
annual
total

have
been
restated
to

of

Semiannual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.
1.
Expenses
are
equal
to
the
annualized
expense
ratio
for
the
six-month

as

above—in

by
the
simple

Target

This

report
for
Franklin

TM
2045
Retirement
Target
Fund
covers
the
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Your
Fund’s
Goal
and
Main
Investments
The
Fund
seeks
the
highest
level
of
long-term
total
return
consistent
with
its
asset
allocation.
The
Fund
employs
an
asset
allocation
strategy
designed
for
investors
who
are
expecting
to
retire
and
who
are
likely
to
stop
making
new
investments
in
the
Fund
around
the
specific
target
year
(target
date),
as
indicated
in
the
Fund’s
name,
but
who
are
expecting
to
delay
withdrawals
until
approximately
seven
years
after
the
target
date
(around
their
required
minimum
distribution
age).
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
allocates
the
Fund’s
assets
among
the
broad
asset
classes
of
equity
and
fixed
income
investments
and

*The
portfolio
composition
is
based
on
the
Schedule
of
Investments
(SOI),
which
classifies
each
underlying
fund
and
other
fund
investments
into
a
broad
asset
class
based
on
its
predominant
investments
under
normal
market
conditions.
Investment
Strategy
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
uses
a
predetermined
glide
path
as
a
guide
in
allocating
the
Fund’s
assets
among
underlying
funds
in
the
broad
asset
classes
(the
Neutral
Glide
Path).
Once
the
Fund
is
less
than
20
years
from
its
target
date,
when
the
investment
manager’s
proprietary
risk
indicator
model
signals
a
sustained
level
of
market
turbulence
or
a
prolonged
down
(or
bear)
market,
the
investment
manager,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
will
have
the
ability
to
employ
a
defensive
glide
path,
which
has
higher
fixed
income
and
lower
equity
allocations
than
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
(the
Defensive
Glide
Path).
Then,
if
the
market
stabilizes,
the
investment
manager
may,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
shift
the
Fund’s
portfolio
back
to
the
Neutral
Glide
Path.
These
glide
path
shifts
are
executed
through
purchases
and
sales
of
underlying
funds
and
ETFs
to
increase
or
decrease
the
Funds’
equity
and
fixed
income
allocations.
The
target
asset
allocations
in
the
Neutral
and
Defensive
Glide
Paths
change
over
time,
reducing
their
exposure
to
equity
investments
and
becoming
increasingly
conservative
until
approximately
seven
years
after
the
stated
target
date.
At
seven
years
after
the
target
date,
the
Fund’s
final
asset
allocation
mix
will
be
40%
equity
funds
and
60%
fixed-
income
funds
under
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
and
30%
equity
funds
and
70%
fixed-income
funds
under
the
Defensive
Glide
Path.
When
selecting
equity
funds,
the
investment
manager
considers
the
underlying
funds’
foreign
and
domestic
exposure,
market
capitalization
ranges,
and
investment
style
(growth
vs.
value).

Manager’s
Discussion
The
Fund’s
cross-asset
allocation
contributed
to
relative
performance
and
helped
it
to
perform
better
than
its
blended
benchmark
index
for
the
six-month
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Fund
selection
overall
was
also
positive.
Within
equities,
Franklin
U.S.
Core
Equity
(IU)
Fund
contributed
to
relative
performance
due
in
part
to
its
systematic
process
focused
on
quality,
value
and
momentum
style
factors.
Franklin
International
Growth
Fund,
however,
detracted
from
relative
performance
as
international
growth
stocks
were
out
of
favor.
Within
fixed
income,
Western
Asset
Short-Term
Bond
Fund
contributed
as
credits
with
shorter
terms
were
favored
in
the
rising
interest-rate
environment.
Meanwhile,
Western
Asset
Core
Plus
Bond
Fund
underperformed
as
it
was
positioned
with
a
view
that
inflation
would
be
short
lived.
Its
longer
duration
positioning
negatively
impacted
performance
in
the
first
half
of
2022.
The
LifeSmart
Fund
carried
an
effective
tactical
cash
position
as
a
hedge
in
a
declining
market
environment
for
both
equities
and
fixed
income.
The
Fund
did
not
use
derivatives
during
the

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
The
Fund’s
investment
risk
changes
over
time
as
its
asset
allocation
changes.
Since
the
Fund
invests
in
underlying
funds,
including
exchanged-traded
funds
(ETFs),
which
may
engage
in
a
variety
of
investment
strategies
involving
certain
risks,
the
Fund
is
subject
to
those
same
risks.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
loss
of
principal.
Principal
invested
is
not
guaranteed
at
any
time,
including
at
or
after
the
Fund’s
retirement
target
date;
nor
is
there
any
guarantee
that
the
Fund
will
provide
sufficient
income
at
or
through
the
investor’s
retirement.
Stock
prices
fluctuate,
sometimes
rapidly
and
dramatically,
due
to
factors
affecting
individual
companies,
particular
industries
or
sectors,
or
general
market
conditions.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
Thus,
as
the
price
of
bonds
in
the
Fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Foreign
investing
carries
additional
risks
such
as
currency
and
market
volatility
and
political
or
social
instability,
risks
which
are
heightened
in
developing
countries.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
dis-
eases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
These
risks
are
described
more
fully
in
the
Fund’s
prospectus.
Investors
should
consult
their
financial
advisor
for
help
selecting
the
appropriate
fund
of
funds,
or
fund
combination,
based
on
an
evaluation
of
their
investment
objectives,
retirement
horizons
and
risk
tolerance.
Russia’s
military
invasion
of
Ukraine
in
February
2022,
the
resulting
responses
by
the
United
States
and
other
countries,
and
the
potential
for
wider
conflict
could
increase
volatility
and
uncertainty
in
the
financial
markets
and
adversely
affect
regional
and
global
economies.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
im-
posed
broad-ranging
economic
sanctions
on
Russia
and
certain
Russian
individuals,
banking
entities
and
corporations
as
a
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
also
imposed
economic
sanctions
on
Belarus
and
may
impose
sanctions
on
other
countries
that
support
Russia’s
military
invasion.
These
sanctions,
as
well
as
any
other
economic
consequences
related
to
the
invasion,
such
as
additional
sanctions,
boycotts
or
changes
in
consumer
or
purchaser
preferences
or
cyberattacks
on
governments,
companies
or
individuals,
may
further
decrease
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
Russian
securities
and
securities
of
issuers
in
other
countries
that
are
subject
to
economic
sanctions
related
to
the
invasion.

the

over
time)
to
be
in
line
with
the
new

of
72.
Previously,
as
of
May
2019,
the
Fund’s
predetermined

glide
path
was
modified,
and
among
other
changes,
establishes
neutral
and
defensive
glide
paths,
between
which
the
Funds’
investment
manager
could
shift
depending
on
projected
market
volatility.
Prior
to
that,
as
of
October
2013,
the
Fund’s
glide
path
was
modified,
and
among
other
changes,
reflects
a
lower
starting
allocation
to
equity
funds.
Such
changes
can
impact
performance.

As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.

table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.
1.
Expenses
are
equal
to
the
annualized
expense
ratio
for
the
six-month
period
as
indicated
above—in
the
far
right
column—multiplied
by
the
simple
average
account
value
over
the
period
indicated,
and
then
multiplied
by
181/365
to
reflect
the

Retirement
Target
Fund
This
semiannual
report
for
Franklin
LifeSmart
TM
2050
Retirement
Target
Fund
covers
the
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Your
Fund’s
Goal
and
Main
Investments
The
Fund
seeks
the
highest
level
of
long-term
total
return
consistent
with
its
asset
allocation.
The
Fund
employs
an
asset
allocation
strategy
designed
for
investors
who
are
expecting
to
retire
and
who
are
likely
to
stop
making
new
investments
in
the
Fund
around
the
specific
target
year
(target
date),
as
indicated
in
the
Fund’s
name,
but
who
are
expecting
to
delay
withdrawals
until
approximately
seven
years
after
the
target
date
(around
their
required
minimum
distribution
age).
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
allocates
the
Fund’s
assets
among
the
broad
asset
classes
of
equity
and
fixed
income
investments
and
strategies
by
investing
primarily
in
a
distinctly-weighted
combination
of
other
funds
(underlying
funds),
predominantly
other
Franklin
Templeton
and
Legg
Mason
mutual
funds
and
exchange
traded
funds
(ETFs)
and
third-party
ETFs,
based
on
each
underlying
fund’s
predominant
asset
class
and
strategy.

*The
portfolio
composition
is
based
on
the
Schedule
of
Investments
(SOI),
which
classifies
each
underlying
fund
and
other
fund
investments
into
a
broad
asset
class
based
on
its
predominant
investments
under
normal
market
conditions.
Investment
Strategy
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
uses
a
predetermined
glide
path
as
a
guide
in
allocating
the
Fund’s
assets
among
underlying
funds
in
the
broad
asset
classes
(the
Neutral
Glide
Path).
Once
the
Fund
is
less
than
20
years
from
its
target
date,
when
the
investment
manager’s
proprietary
risk
indicator
model
signals
a
sustained
level
of
market
turbulence
or
a
prolonged
down
(or
bear)
market,
the
investment
manager,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
will
have
the
ability
to
employ
a
defensive
glide
path,
which
has
higher
fixed
income
and
lower
equity
allocations
than
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
(the
Defensive
Glide
Path).
Then,
if
the
market
stabilizes,
the
investment
manager
may,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
shift
the
Fund’s
portfolio
back
to
the
Neutral
Glide
Path.
These
glide
path
shifts
are
executed
through
purchases
and
sales
of
underlying
funds
and
ETFs
to
increase
or
decrease
the
Funds’
equity
and
fixed
income
allocations.
The
target
asset
allocations
in
the
Neutral
and
Defensive
Glide
Paths
change
over
time,
reducing
their
exposure
to
equity
investments
and
becoming
increasingly
conservative
until
approximately
seven
years
after
the
stated
target
date.
At
seven
years
after
the
target
date,
the
Fund’s
final
asset
allocation
mix
will
be
40%
equity
funds
and
60%
fixed-
income
funds
under
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
and
30%
equity
funds
and
70%
fixed-income
funds
under
the
Defensive
Glide
Path.
When
selecting
equity
funds,
the
investment
manager
considers
the
underlying
funds’
foreign
and
domestic
exposure,
market
capitalization
ranges,
and
investment
style
(growth
vs.
value).

Manager’s
Discussion
The
Fund’s
cross-asset
allocation
contributed
to
relative
performance
and
helped
it
to
perform
better
than
its
blended
benchmark
index
for
the
six-month
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Fund
selection
overall
was
also
positive.
Within
equities,
Franklin
U.S.
Core
Equity
(IU)
Fund
contributed
to
relative
performance
due
in
part
to
its
systematic
process
focused
on
quality,
value
and
momentum
style
factors.
Franklin
International
Growth
Fund,
however,
detracted
from
relative
performance
as
international
growth
stocks
were
out
of
favor.
Within
fixed
income,
Western
Asset
Short-Term
Bond
Fund
contributed
as
credits
with
shorter
terms
were
favored
in
the
rising
interest-rate
environment.
Meanwhile,
Western
Asset
Core
Plus
Bond
Fund
underperformed
as
it
was
positioned
with
a
view
that
inflation
would
be
short
lived.
Its
longer
duration
positioning
negatively
impacted
performance
in
the
first
half
of
2022.
The
LifeSmart
Fund
carried
an
effective
tactical
cash
position
as
a
hedge
in
a
declining
market
environment
for
both
equities
and
fixed
income.
The
Fund
did
not
use
derivatives
during
the
reporting
period.

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
The
Fund’s
investment
risk
changes
over
time
as
its
asset
allocation
changes.
Since
the
Fund
invests
in
underlying
funds,
including
exchanged-traded
funds
(ETFs),
which
may
engage
in
a
variety
of
investment
strategies
involving
certain
risks,
the
Fund
is
subject
to
those
same
risks.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
loss
of
principal.
Principal
invested
is
not
guaranteed
at
any
time,
including
at
or
after
the
Fund’s
retirement
target
date;
nor
is
there
any
guarantee
that
the
Fund
will
provide
sufficient
income
at
or
through
the
investor’s
retirement.
Stock
prices
fluctuate,
sometimes
rapidly
and
dramatically,
due
to
factors
affecting
individual
companies,
particular
industries
or
sectors,
or
general
market
conditions.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
Thus,
as
the
price
of
bonds
in
the
Fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Foreign
investing
carries
additional
risks
such
as
currency
and
market
volatility
and
political
or
social
instability,
risks
which
are
heightened
in
developing
countries.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
dis-
eases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
These
risks
are
described
more
fully
in
the
Fund’s
prospectus.
Investors
should
consult
their
financial
advisor
for
help
selecting
the
appropriate
fund
of
funds,
or
fund
combination,
based
on
an
evaluation
of
their
investment
objectives,
retirement
horizons
and
risk
tolerance.
Russia’s
military
invasion
of
Ukraine
in
February
2022,
the
resulting
responses
by
the
United
States
and
other
countries,
and
the
potential
for
wider
conflict
could
increase
volatility
and
uncertainty
in
the
financial
markets
and
adversely
affect
regional
and
global
economies.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
im-
posed
broad-ranging
economic
sanctions
on
Russia
and
certain
Russian
individuals,
banking
entities
and
corporations
as
a
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
also
imposed
economic
sanctions
on
Belarus
and
may
impose
sanctions
on
other
countries
that
support
Russia’s
military
invasion.
These
sanctions,
as
well
as
any
other
economic
consequences
related
to
the
invasion,
such
as
additional
sanctions,
boycotts
or
changes
in
consumer
or
purchaser
preferences
or
cyberattacks
on
governments,
companies
or
individuals,
may
further
decrease
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
Russian
securities
and
securities
of
issuers
in
other
countries
that
are
subject
to
economic
sanctions
related
to
the
invasion.

The
Fund
has
an
expense
reduction
and
a
fee
waiver
associated
with
any
investments
it
makes
in
a
Franklin
Templeton
money
fund
and/or
other
underlying
fund,
contrac-
tually
guaranteed
through
4/30/23.
Fund
investment
results
reflect
the
expense
reduction
and
fee
waiver;
without
these
reductions,
the
results
would
have
been
lower.
Effec-
tive
1/29/21,
the
Fund
modified
the
landing
point
of
its
glide
path
(the
strategic
asset
allocation
of
a
target
date
fund
over
time)
to
be
in
line
with
the
new
required
minimum
distribution
(RMD)
age
of
72.
Previously,
as
of
May
2019,
the
Fund’s
predetermined
asset
allocation
glide
path
was
modified,
and
among
other
changes,
establishes
neutral
and
defensive
glide
paths,
between
which
the
Funds’
investment
manager
could
shift
depending
on
projected
market
volatility.
Prior
to
that,
as
of
October
2013,
the
Fund’s
glide
path
was
modified,
and
among
other
changes,
reflects
a
lower
starting
allocation
to
equity
funds.
Such
changes
can
impact
performance.

Semiannual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.
1.
Expenses
are
equal
to
the
annualized
expense
ratio
for
the
six-month
period
as
indicated
above—in
the
far
right
column—multiplied
by
the
simple
average
account
value
over
the

indicated,
and
then
multiplied
by
181/365
to
reflect
the
one-half

This

report
for
Franklin
LifeSmart
TM
2055
Retirement
Target
Fund
covers
the
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Your
Fund’s
Goal
and
Main
Investments
The
Fund
seeks
the
highest
level
of
long-term
total
return
consistent
with
its
asset
allocation.
The
Fund
employs
an
asset
allocation
strategy
designed
for
investors
who
are
expecting
to
retire
and
who
are
likely
to
stop
making
new
investments
in
the
Fund
around
the
specific
target
year
(target
date),
as
indicated
in
the
Fund’s
name,
but
who
are
expecting
to
delay
withdrawals
until
approximately
seven
years
after
the
target
date
(around
their
required
minimum
distribution
age).
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
allocates
the
Fund’s
assets
among
the
broad
asset
classes
of
equity
and
fixed
income
investments
and
strategies
by
investing
primarily
in
a
distinctly-weighted
combination
of
other
funds
(underlying
funds),
predominantly
other
Franklin
Templeton
and
Legg
Mason
mutual
funds
and
exchange
traded
funds
(ETFs)
and
third-party
ETFs,
based
on
each
underlying
fund’s
predominant
asset
class
and
strategy.

*The
portfolio
composition
is
based
on
the
Schedule
of
Investments
(SOI),
which
classifies
each
underlying
fund
and
other
fund
investments
into
a
broad
asset
class
based
on
its
predominant
investments
under
normal
market
conditions.
Investment
Strategy
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
uses
a
predetermined
glide
path
as
a
guide
in
allocating
the
Fund’s
assets
among
underlying
funds
in
the
broad
asset
classes
(the
Neutral
Glide
Path).
Once
the
Fund
is
less
than
20
years
from
its
target
date,
when
the
investment
manager’s
proprietary
risk
indicator
model
signals
a
sustained
level
of
market
turbulence
or
a
prolonged
down
(or
bear)
market,
the
investment
manager,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
will
have
the
ability
to
employ
a
defensive
glide
path,
which
has
higher
fixed
income
and
lower
equity
allocations
than
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
(the
Defensive
Glide
Path).
Then,
if
the
market
stabilizes,
the
investment
manager
may,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
shift
the
Fund’s
portfolio
back
to
the
Neutral
Glide
Path.
These
glide
path
shifts
are
executed
through
purchases
and
sales
of
underlying
funds
and
ETFs
to
increase
or
decrease
the
Funds’
equity
and
fixed
income
allocations.
The
target
asset
allocations
in
the
Neutral
and
Defensive
Glide
Paths
change
over
time,
reducing
their
exposure
to
equity
investments
and
becoming
increasingly
conservative
until
approximately
seven
years
after
the
stated
target
date.
At
seven
years
after
the
target
date,
the
Fund’s
final
asset
allocation
mix
will
be
40%
equity
funds
and
60%
fixed-
income
funds
under
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
and
30%
equity
funds
and
70%
fixed-income
funds
under
the
Defensive
Glide
Path.
When
selecting
equity
funds,
the
investment
manager
considers
the
underlying
funds’
foreign
and
domestic
exposure,
market
capitalization
ranges,
and
investment
style
(growth
vs.
value).

Manager’s
Discussion
The
Fund’s
cross-asset
allocation
contributed
to
relative
performance
and
helped
it
to
perform
better
than
its
blended
benchmark
index
for
the
six-month
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Fund
selection
overall
was
also
positive.
Within
equities,
Franklin
U.S.
Core
Equity
(IU)
Fund
contributed
to
relative
performance
due
in
part
to
its
systematic
process
focused
on
quality,
value
and
momentum
style
factors.
Franklin
International
Growth
Fund,
however,
detracted
from
relative
performance
as
international
growth
stocks
were
out
of
favor.
Within
fixed
income,
Western
Asset
Short-Term
Bond
Fund
contributed
as
credits
with
shorter
terms
were
favored
in
the
rising
interest-rate
environment.
Meanwhile,
Western
Asset
Core
Plus
Bond
Fund
underperformed
as
it
was
positioned
with
a
view
that
inflation
would
be
short
lived.
Its
longer
duration
positioning
negatively
impacted
performance
in
the
first
half
of
2022.
The
LifeSmart
Fund
carried
an
effective
tactical
cash
position
as
a
hedge
in
a
declining
market
environment
for
both
equities
and
fixed
income.
The
Fund
did
not
use
derivatives
during
the
reporting
period.

after
the
Fund’s
retirement
target
date;
nor
is
there
any
guarantee
that
the
Fund
will
provide
sufficient
income
at
or
through
the
investor’s
retirement.
Stock
prices
fluctuate,
sometimes
rapidly
and
dramatically,
due
to
factors
affecting
individual
companies,
particular
industries
or
sectors,
or
general
market
conditions.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
Thus,
as
the
price
of
bonds
in
the
Fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Foreign
investing
carries
additional
risks
such
as
currency
and
market
volatility
and
political
or
social
instability,
risks
which
are
heightened
in
developing
countries.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
dis-
eases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
These
risks
are
described
more
fully
in
the
Fund’s
prospectus.
Investors
should
consult
their
financial
advisor
for
help
selecting
the
appropriate
fund
of
funds,
or
fund
combination,
based
on
an
evaluation
of
their
investment
objectives,
retirement
horizons
and
risk
tolerance.
Russia’s
military
invasion
of
Ukraine
in
February
2022,
the
resulting
responses
by
the
United
States
and
other
countries,
and
the
potential
for
wider
conflict
could
increase
volatility
and
uncertainty
in
the
financial
markets
and
adversely
affect
regional
and
global
economies.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
im-
posed
broad-ranging
economic
sanctions
on
Russia
and
certain
Russian
individuals,
banking
entities
and
corporations
as
a
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
also
imposed
economic
sanctions
on
Belarus
and
may
impose
sanctions
on
other
countries
that
support
Russia’s
military
invasion.
These
sanctions,
as
well
as
any
other
economic
consequences
related
to
the
invasion,
such
as
additional
sanctions,
boycotts
or
changes
in
consumer
or
purchaser
preferences
or
cyberattacks
on
governments,
companies
or
individuals,
may
further
decrease
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
Russian
securities
and
securities
of
issuers
in
other
countries
that
are
subject
to
economic
sanctions
related
to
the
invasion.

The
Fund
has
an
expense
reduction
and
a
fee
waiver
associated
with
any
investments
it
makes
in
a
Franklin
Templeton
money
fund
and/or
other
underlying
fund,
contractually
guaranteed
through
4/30/23.
Fund
investment
results
reflect
the
expense
reduction
and
fee
waiver;
without
these
reductions,
the
results
would
have
been
lower.
Effective
1/29/21,
the
Fund
modified
the
landing
point
of
its
glide
path
(the
strategic
asset
allocation
of
a
target
date
fund
over
time)
to
be
in
line
with
the
new
required
minimum
distribution
(RMD)
age
of
72.
Previously,
as
of
May
2019,
the
Fund’s
predetermined
asset
allocation
glide
path
was
modified,
and
among
other
changes,
establishes
neutral
and
defensive
glide
paths,
between
which
the
Funds’
investment
manager
could
shift
depending
on
projected
market
volatility.
Prior
to
that,
as
of
October
2013,
the
Fund’s
glide
path
was
modified,
and
among
other
changes,
reflects
a
lower
starting
allocation
to
equity
funds.
Such
changes
can
impact
performance.

Semiannual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.
1.
Expenses
are
equal
to
the
annualized
expense
ratio
for
the
six-month
period
as
indicated
above—in
the
far
right
column—multiplied
by
the
simple
average
account
value
over
the

and
then
multiplied
by
181/365
to
reflect
the
one-half

This

report
for
Franklin
LifeSmart
TM
2060
Retirement
Target
Fund
covers
the
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Your
Fund’s
Goal
and
Main
Investments
The
Fund
seeks
the
highest
level
of
long-term
total
return
consistent
with
its
asset
allocation.
The
Fund
employs
an
asset
allocation
strategy
designed
for
investors
who
are
expecting
to
retire
and
who
are
likely
to
stop
making
new
investments
in
the
Fund
around
the
specific
target
year
(target
date),
as
indicated
in
the
Fund’s
name,
but
who
are
expecting
to
delay
withdrawals
until
approximately
seven
years
after
the
target
date
(around
their
required
minimum
distribution
age).
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
allocates
the
Fund’s
assets
among
the
broad
asset
classes
of
equity
and
fixed
income
investments
and
strategies
by
investing
primarily
in
a
distinctly-weighted
combination
of
other
funds
(underlying
funds),
predominantly
other
Franklin
Templeton
and
Legg
Mason
mutual
funds
and
exchange
traded
funds
(ETFs)
and
third-party
ETFs,
based
on
each
underlying
fund’s
predominant
asset
class
and
strategy.

*The
portfolio
composition
is
based
on
the
Schedule
of
Investments
(SOI),
which
classifies
each
underlying
fund
and
other
fund
investments
into
a
broad
asset
class
based
on
its
predominant
investments
under
normal
market
conditions.
Investment
Strategy
Under
normal
market
conditions,
the
investment
manager
uses
a
predetermined
glide
path
as
a
guide
in
allocating
the
Fund’s
assets
among
underlying
funds
in
the
broad
asset
classes
(the
Neutral
Glide
Path).
Once
the
Fund
is
less
than
20
years
from
its
target
date,
when
the
investment
manager’s
proprietary
risk
indicator
model
signals
a
sustained
level
of
market
turbulence
or
a
prolonged
down
(or
bear)
market,
the
investment
manager,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
will
have
the
ability
to
employ
a
defensive
glide
path,
which
has
higher
fixed
income
and
lower
equity
allocations
than
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
(the
Defensive
Glide
Path).
Then,
if
the
market
stabilizes,
the
investment
manager
may,
in
its
sole
discretion
and
without
shareholder
notification,
shift
the
Fund’s
portfolio
back
to
the
Neutral
Glide
Path.
These
glide
path
shifts
are
executed
through
purchases
and
sales
of
underlying
funds
and
ETFs
to
increase
or
decrease
the
Funds’
equity
and
fixed
income
allocations.
The
target
asset
allocations
in
the
Neutral
and
Defensive
Glide
Paths
change
over
time,
reducing
their
exposure
to
equity
investments
and
becoming
increasingly
conservative
until
approximately
seven
years
after
the
stated
target
date.
At
seven
years
after
the
target
date,
the
Fund’s
final
asset
allocation
mix
will
be
40%
equity
funds
and
60%
fixed-
income
funds
under
the
Neutral
Glide
Path
and
30%
equity
funds
and
70%
fixed-income
funds
under
the
Defensive
Glide
Path.
When
selecting
equity
funds,
the
investment
manager
considers
the
underlying
funds’
foreign
and
domestic
exposure,
market
capitalization
ranges,
and
investment
style
(growth
vs.
value).

Manager’s
Discussion
The
Fund’s
cross-asset
allocation
contributed
to
relative
performance
and
helped
it
to
perform
in-line
with
its
blended
benchmark
index
for
the
six-month
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Fund
selection
overall
was
also
positive.
Within
equities,
Franklin
U.S.
Core
Equity
Fund
(IU)
contributed
to
relative
performance
due
in
part
to
its
systematic
process
focused
on
quality,
value
and
momentum
style
factors.
Franklin
International
Growth
Fund,
however,
detracted
from
relative
performance
as
international
growth
stocks
were
out
of
favor.
Within
fixed
income,
Western
Asset
Short-Term
Bond
Fund
contributed
as
credits
with
shorter
terms
were
favored
in
the
rising
interest-rate
environment.
Meanwhile,
Western
Asset
Core
Plus
Bond
Fund
underperformed
as
it
was
positioned
with
a
view
that
inflation
would
be
short
lived.
Its
longer
duration
positioning
negatively
impacted
performance
in
the
first
half
of
2022.
The
LifeSmart
Fund
carried
an
effective
tactical
cash
position
as
a
hedge
in
a
declining
market
environment
for
both
equities
and
fixed
income.
The
Fund
did
not
use
derivatives
during
the
reporting
period.

Summary

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
The
Fund’s
investment
risk
changes
over
time
as
its
asset
allocation
changes.
Since
the
Fund
invests
in
underlying
funds,
including
exchanged-traded
funds
(ETFs),
which
may
engage
in
a
variety
of
investment
strategies
involving
certain
risks,
the
Fund
is
subject
to
those
same
risks.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
loss
of
principal.
Principal
invested
is
not
guaranteed
at
any
time,
including
at
or
after
the
Fund’s
retirement
target
date;
nor
is
there
any
guarantee
that
the
Fund
will
provide
sufficient
income
at
or
through
the
investor’s
retirement.
Stock
prices
fluctuate,
sometimes
rapidly
and
dramatically,
due
to
factors
affecting
individual
companies,
particular
industries
or
sectors,
or
general
market
conditions.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
Thus,
as
the
price
of
bonds
in
the
Fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Foreign
investing
carries
additional
risks
such
as
currency
and
market
volatility
and
political
or
social
instability,
risks
which
are
heightened
in
developing
countries.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
dis-
eases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
These
risks
are
described
more
fully
in
the
Fund’s
prospectus.
Investors
should
consult
their
financial
advisor
for
help
selecting
the
appropriate
fund
of
funds,
or
fund
combination,
based
on
an
evaluation
of
their
investment
objectives,
retirement
horizons
and
risk
tolerance.
Russia’s
military
invasion
of
Ukraine
in
February
2022,
the
resulting
responses
by
the
United
States
and
other
countries,
and
the
potential
for
wider
conflict
could
increase
volatility
and
uncertainty
in
the
financial
markets
and
adversely
affect
regional
and
global
economies.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
im-
posed
broad-ranging
economic
sanctions
on
Russia
and
certain
Russian
individuals,
banking
entities
and
corporations
as
a
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
also
imposed
economic
sanctions
on
Belarus
and
may
impose
sanctions
on
other
countries
that
support
Russia’s
military
invasion.
These
sanctions,
as
well
as
any
other
economic
consequences
related
to
the
invasion,
such
as
additional
sanctions,
boycotts
or
changes
in
consumer
or
purchaser
preferences
or
cyberattacks
on
governments,
companies
or
individuals,
may
further
decrease
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
Russian
securities
and
securities
of
issuers
in
other
countries
that
are
subject
to
economic
sanctions
related
to
the
invasion.

Semiannual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.
1.
Expenses
are
equal
to
the
annualized
expense
ratio
for
the
six-month
period
as
indicated
above—in
the
far
right
column—multiplied
by
the
simple
average
account
value
over
the
period
indicated,
and
then
multiplied
by
181/365
to
reflect
the
one-half
year
period
for
Hypothetical
expenses.
Non-recurring
expenses
are
not
annualized.

Report
1.
Organization
and
Significant
Accounting
Policies
Franklin
Fund
Allocator
Series (Trust)
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(1940
Act)
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company,
consisting
of
eighteen
separate
funds, ten
of
which
are
included
in
this
report
(Funds)
and
applies
the
specialized
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
U.S.
Generally
Accepted
Accounting
Principles
(U.S.
GAAP).
Certain
or
all
Funds
invest
primarily
in
affiliated
mutual
funds
(Underlying
Funds)
and
exchange
traded
funds
(ETFs),
including
affiliated
funds
managed
by
Franklin
Templeton
(FT
Underlying
Funds).
The
Funds
offer
five
classes
of
shares:
Class
A,
Class
C,
Class
R,
Class
R6
and
Advisor
Class.
Class
C
shares
automatically
convert
to
Class
A
shares
on
a
monthly
basis,
after
they
have
been
held
for
8
years.
Each
class
of
shares
may
differ
by
its
initial
sales
load,
contingent
deferred
sales
charges,
voting
rights
on
matters
affecting
a
single
class,
its
exchange
privilege
and
fees
due
to
differing
arrangements
for
distribution
and
transfer
agent
fees.
The
accounting
policies
of
the
Underlying
Funds
are
outlined
in
their
respective
shareholder
reports.
A
copy
of
the
Underlying
Funds’
shareholder
reports
is
available
on
the
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(SEC)
website
at
sec.gov.
The
Underlying
Funds’
shareholder
reports
are
not
covered
by
this
report.
The
following
summarizes
the Funds'
significant
accounting
policies.
a.
Financial
Instrument
Valuation
The Funds'
investments
in
financial
instruments
are
carried
at
fair
value
daily.
Fair
value
is
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
on
the
measurement
date.
The Funds calculate the
net
asset
value
(NAV)
per
share
each
business
day
as
of
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
or
the
regularly
scheduled
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE),
whichever
is
earlier.
Under
compliance
policies
and
procedures
approved
by
the
Trust's
Board
of
Trustees
(the
Board),
the
Funds' administrator
has
responsibility
for
oversight
of
valuation,
including
leading
the
cross-functional
Valuation
Committee
(VC).
The
Funds
may
utilize
independent
pricing
services,
quotations
from
securities
and
financial
instrument
dealers,
and
other
market
sources
to
determine
fair
value.
Investments
in
the
Underlying
Funds
are
valued
at
their
closing
NAV
each
trading
day.
ETFs
listed
on
an
exchange
or
on
the
NASDAQ
National
Market
System
are
valued
at
the
last
quoted
sale
price
or
the
official
closing
price
of
the
day,
respectively.
Debt
securities
generally
trade
in
the
over-the-counter
market
rather
than
on
a
securities
exchange.
The
Funds'
pricing
services
use
multiple
valuation
techniques
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
exists,
the
pricing
services
may
utilize
a
market-
based
approach
through
which
quotes
from
market
makers
are
used
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
may
not
exist
or
is
limited,
the
pricing
services
also
utilize
proprietary
valuation
models
which
may
consider
market
characteristics
such
as
benchmark
yield
curves,
credit
spreads,
estimated
default
rates,
anticipated
market
interest
rate
volatility,
coupon
rates,
anticipated
timing
of
principal
repayments,
underlying
collateral,
and
other
unique
security
features
in
order
to
estimate
the
relevant
cash
flows,
which
are
then
discounted
to
calculate
the
fair
value.
Investments
in
repurchase
agreements
are
valued
at
cost,
which
approximates
fair
value.
The
Funds
have
procedures
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments
for
which
market
prices
are
not
reliable
or
readily
available.
Under
these
procedures,
the
Funds
primarily
employ
a
market-based
approach
which
may
use
related
or
comparable
assets
or
liabilities,
recent
transactions,
market
multiples,
book
values,
and
other
relevant
information
for
the
investment
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
the
investment.
An
income-based
valuation
approach
may
also
be
used
in
which
the
anticipated
future
cash
flows
of
the
investment
are
discounted
to
calculate
fair
value.
Discounts
may
also
be
applied
due
to
the
nature
or
duration
of
any
restrictions
on
the
disposition
of
the
investments.
Due
to
the
inherent
uncertainty
of
valuations
of
such
investments,
the
fair
values
may
differ
significantly
from
the
values
that
would
have
been
used
had
an
active
market
existed.
b.
Joint
Repurchase
Agreement
Certain
or
all
Funds
enter
into
a
joint
repurchase
agreement
whereby
their
uninvested
cash
balance
is
deposited
into
a
joint
cash
account
with
other
funds
managed
by
the
investment
manager
or
an
affiliate
of
the
investment
manager
and
is
used
to
invest
in
one
or
more
repurchase
Franklin

Semiannual
Report
agreements.
The
value
and
face
amount
of
the
joint
repurchase
agreement
are
allocated
to
the
funds
based
on
their
pro-rata
interest.
A
repurchase
agreement
is
accounted
for
as
a
loan
by
the
Fund
to
the
seller,
collateralized
by
securities
which
are
delivered
to
the
Funds'
custodian.
The
fair
value,
including
accrued
interest,
of
the
initial
collateralization
is
required
to
be
at
least
102%
of
the
dollar
amount
invested
by
the
funds,
with
the
value
of
the
underlying
securities
marked
to
market
daily
to
maintain
coverage
of
at
least
100%.
Repurchase
agreements
are
subject
to
the
terms
of
Master
Repurchase
Agreements
(MRAs)
with
approved
counterparties
(sellers).
The
MRAs
contain
various
provisions,
including
but
not
limited
to
events
of
default
and
maintenance
of
collateral
for
repurchase
agreements.
In
the
event
of
default
by
either
the
seller
or
the
Funds,
certain
MRAs
may
permit
the
non-defaulting
party
to
net
and
close-out
all
transactions,
if
any,
traded
under
such
agreements.
The
Funds
may
sell
securities
it
holds
as
collateral
and
apply
the
proceeds
towards
the
repurchase
price
and
any
other
amounts
owed
by
the
seller
to
the
Funds
in
the
event
of
default
by
the
seller.
This
could
involve
costs
or
delays
in
addition
to
a
loss
on
the
securities
if
their
value
falls
below
the
repurchase
price
owed
by
the
seller.
The
joint
repurchase
agreement
held
by
the
Funds
at
period
end,
as
indicated
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments,
had
been
entered
into
on
June
30,
2022.
c.
Index-Linked
Notes
Certain
or
all
Funds
invest
in
index-linked
notes.
Index-linked
notes
are
senior,
unsecured,
subordinated
debt
securities
issued
by
a
financial
institution,
and
the
value
is
based
on
the
price
movements
of
the
underlying
index.
Index-linked
notes
are
designed
to
provide
investors
access
to
the
returns
of
various
market
benchmarks
and
intended
to
replicate
the
economic
effects
that
would
apply
had
the
Fund
directly
purchased
the
underlying
referenced
asset
or
basket
of
assets.
The
risks
of
investing
in
index-linked
notes
include
unfavorable
price
movements
in
the
underlying
index
and
the
credit
risk
of
the
issuing
financial
institution.
There
may
be
no
guarantee
of
a
return
of
principal
with
index-linked
notes
and
the
appreciation
potential
may
be
limited.
Index-linked
notes
may
be
more
volatile
and
less
liquid
than
other
investments
held
by
the
Funds.
d.
Income
Taxes
It
is each
Fund's
policy
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
the
Internal
Revenue
Code. Each
Fund
intends
to
distribute
to
shareholders
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
and
net
realized
gains
to
relieve
it
from
federal
income
and
excise
taxes.
As
a
result,
no
provision
for
U.S.
federal
income
taxes
is
required.
Each
Fund
may
recognize
an
income
tax
liability
related
to
its
uncertain
tax
positions
under
U.S.
GAAP
when
the
uncertain
tax
position
has
a
less
than
50%
probability
that
it
will
be
sustained
upon
examination
by
the
tax
authorities
based
on
its
technical
merits.
As
of
June
30,
2022, each
Fund
has
determined
that
no
tax
liability
is
required
in
its
financial
statements
related
to
uncertain
tax
positions
for
any
open
tax
years
(or
expected
to
be
taken
in
future
tax
years).
Open
tax
years
are
those
that
remain
subject
to
examination
and
are
based
on
the
statute
of
limitations
in
each
jurisdiction
in
which
the
Fund
invests.
e.
Security
Transactions,
Investment
Income,
Expenses
and
Distributions
Security
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
trade
date.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
security
transactions
are
determined
on
a
specific
identification
basis.
Interest
income
and
estimated
expenses
are
accrued
daily.
Dividend
income
and
realized
capital
gain
distributions
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributions
to shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
The
Franklin
LifeSmart
TM
Retirement
Income
Fund
employs
a
managed
distribution
policy.
Under
this
policy,
the
Fund
will
distribute
level
monthly
distributions
in
any
given
year
regardless
of
the
performance
of
the
Fund;
however,
the
twelfth
monthly
payment
may
be
greater
than
the
initially
anticipated
amount
if
additional
income
or
capital
gains
are
required
to
be
distributed.
These
distributions
may
include
income
and
capital
gains
generated
by
the
Underlying
Funds,
as
well
as
a
possible
return
of
capital
component,
if
necessary,
to
meet
the
annual
distribution
rate.
The
annual
payout
rate
may
be
adjusted
higher
or
lower
from
year
to
year
in
response
to
market
conditions.
Distributable
earnings
are
determined
according
to
income
tax
regulations
(tax
basis)
and
may
differ
from
earnings
recorded
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP.
These
differences
may
be
permanent
or
temporary.
Permanent
differences
are
reclassified
among
capital
accounts
to
reflect
their
tax
character.
These
reclassifications

Temporary
differences
are
not
reclassified,
as
they
may
reverse
in
subsequent
periods.
Common
expenses
incurred
by
the
Trust
are
allocated
among
the
Funds
based
on
the
ratio
of
net
assets
of
each
Fund
to
the
combined
net
assets
of
the
Trust
or
based
on
the
ratio
of
number
of
shareholders
of
each
Fund
to
the
combined
number
of
shareholders
of
the
Trust.
Fund
specific
expenses
are
charged
directly
to
the
Fund
that
incurred
the
expense.
The
Funds
indirectly
bear
their
proportionate
share
of
expenses
from
the
Underlying
Funds
and
ETFs.
Since
the
Underlying
Funds
and
ETFs
have
varied
expense
levels
and
the
Funds
may
own
different
proportions
of
the
Underlying
Funds
and
ETFs
at
different
times,
the
amount
of
expenses
incurred
indirectly
by
the
Funds
will
vary.
Realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
and
net
investment
income,
excluding
class
specific
expenses,
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
of
shares
based
upon
the
relative
proportion
of
net
assets
of
each
class.
Differences
in
per
share
distributions
by
class
are
generally
due
to
differences
in
class
specific
expenses.
f.
Organization
and
Offering
Costs
Organization
costs
were
expensed
as
incurred.
Offering
costs
are
amortized
on
a
straight
line
basis
over
twelve
months.
g.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
amounts
of
income
and
expenses
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
h.
Guarantees
and
Indemnifications
Under
the
Trust's
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and
trustees
are
indemnified
by
the
Trust
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Trust.
Additionally,
in
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Funds,
enters
into
contracts
with
service
providers
that
contain
general
indemnification
clauses.
The
Trust's
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
as
this
would
involve
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
the
Trust
that
have
not
yet
occurred.
Currently,
the
Trust
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.

Geopolitical
Risk
On
February
24,
2022,
Russia
engaged
in
military
actions
in
the
sovereign
territory
of
Ukraine.
The
current
political
and
financial
uncertainty
surrounding
Russia
and
Ukraine
may
increase
market
volatility
and
the
economic
risk
of
investing
in
securities
in
these
countries
and
may
also
cause
uncertainty
for
the
global
economy
and
broader
financial
markets.
The
ultimate
fallout
and
long-term
impact
from
these
events
are
not
known.
The
Funds
will
continue
to
assess
the
impact
on
valuations
and
liquidity
and
will
take
any
potential
actions
needed
in
accordance
with
procedures
approved
by
the
Board.

Novel
Coronavirus
Pandemic
The
global
outbreak
of
the
novel
coronavirus
disease,
known
as
COVID-19, has
caused
adverse
effects
on
many
companies,
sectors,
nations,
regions
and
the
markets
in
general, and
may
continue for
an unpredictable duration.
The
effects
of
this
pandemic
may
materially
impact
the
value
and
performance
of
the
Funds, their ability
to
buy
and
sell
fund
investments
at
appropriate
valuations
and their ability
to
achieve their investment
objectives.

Credit
Facility
The
Funds,
together
with
other
U.S.
registered
and
foreign
investment
funds
(collectively,
Borrowers),
managed
by
Franklin
Templeton,
are
borrowers
in
a
joint
syndicated
senior
unsecured
credit
facility
totaling
$2.675
billion
(Global
Credit
Facility)
which
matures
on
February
3,
2023.
This
Global
Credit
Facility
provides
a
source
of
funds
to
the
Borrowers
for
temporary
and
emergency
purposes,
including
the
ability
to
meet
future
unanticipated
or
unusually
large
redemption
requests.
Under
the
terms
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
the
Funds
shall,
in
addition
to
interest
charged
on
any
borrowings
made
by
the
Funds
and
other
costs
incurred
by
the
Funds,
pay
their
share
of
fees
and
expenses
incurred
in
connection
with
the
implementation
and
maintenance
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
based
upon
their
relative
share
of
the
aggregate
net
assets
of
all
of
the
Borrowers,
including
an
annual
commitment
fee
of
0.15%
based
upon
the
unused
portion
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility.
These
fees
are
reflected
in
other
expenses
in
the
Statements
of
Operations.
During
the
period ended
June
30,
2022,
the
Funds
did
not
use
the

Facility.

Fair
Value
Measurements
The Funds
follow
a
fair
value
hierarchy
that
distinguishes
between
market
data
obtained
from
independent
sources
(observable
inputs)
and
the Funds'
own
market
assumptions
(unobservable
inputs).
These
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
value
of
the Funds' financial
instruments
and
are
summarized
in
the
following
fair
value
hierarchy:
Level
1
–
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
financial
instruments
Level
2
–
other
significant
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar
financial
instruments,
interest
rates,
prepayment
speed,
credit
risk,
etc.)
Level
3
–
significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
the Funds'
own
assumptions
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments)
The
input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
financial
instruments
at
that
level.
A
summary
of
inputs
used
as
of
June

carried

At
an
in-person
meeting
held
on
February
28,
2022
(Meeting),
the
Board
of
Trustees
(Board)
of
Franklin
Fund
Allocator
Series
(Trust),
including
a
majority
of
the
trustees
who
are
not
“interested
persons”
(Independent
Trustees)
as
defined
in
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(1940
Act),
reviewed
and
approved
the
continuance
of
the
investment
management
agreement
between
Franklin
Advisers,
Inc.
(Manager)
and
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
each
Fund
(each
a
Management
Agreement)
for
an
additional
one-year
period.
The
Independent
Trustees
received
advice
from
and
met
separately
with
Independent
Trustee
counsel
in
considering
whether
to
approve
the
continuation
of
each
Management
Agreement.
Although
the
Management
Agreements
for
the
Funds
were
considered
at
the
same
Board
meeting,
the
Board
considered
the
information
provided
to
it
about
the
Funds
together
and
with
respect
to
each
Fund
separately
as
the
Board
deemed
appropriate.
In
considering
the
continuation
of
each
Management
Agreement,
the
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
provided
by
the
Manager
at
the
Meeting
and
throughout
the
year
at
meetings
of
the
Board
and
its
committees.
The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
information
provided
in
response
to
a
detailed
set
of
requests
for
information
submitted
to
the
Manager
by
Independent
Trustee
counsel
on
behalf
of
the
Independent
Trustees
in
connection
with
the
annual
contract
renewal
process.
In
addition,
prior
to
the
Meeting,
the
Independent
Trustees
held
a
virtual
contract
renewal
meeting
at
which
the
Independent
Trustees
first
conferred
amongst
themselves
and
Independent
Trustee
counsel
about
contract
renewal
matters;
and
then
met
with
management
to
request
additional
information
that
the
Independent
Trustees
reviewed
and
considered
at
the
Meeting.
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
all
of
the
factors
it
deemed
relevant
in
approving
the
continuance
of
each
Management
Agreement,
including,
but
not
limited
to:
(i)
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided
by
the
Manager;
(ii)
the
investment
performance
of
each
Fund;
(iii)
the
costs
of
the
services
provided
and
profits
realized
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
from
the
relationship
with
each
Fund;
(iv)
the
extent
to
which
economies
of
scale
are
realized
as
each
Fund
grows;
and
(v)
whether
fee
levels
reflect
these
economies
of
scale
for
the
benefit
of
Fund
investors.
In
approving
the
continuance
of
each
Management
Agreement,
the
Board,
including
a
majority
of
the
Independent
Trustees,
determined
that
the
terms
of
each
Management
Agreement
are
fair
and
reasonable
and
that
the
continuance
of
such
Management
Agreement
is
in
the
best
interests
of
the
applicable
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
While
attention
was
given
to
all
information
furnished,
the
following
discusses
some
primary
factors
relevant
to
the
Board’s
determination.
Nature,
Extent
and
Quality
of
Services
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
regarding
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
investment
management
services
provided
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
to
the
Funds
and
their
shareholders.
This
information
included,
among
other
things,
the
qualifications,
background
and
experience
of
the
senior
management
and
investment
personnel
of
the
Manager,
as
well
as
information
on
succession
planning
where
appropriate;
the
structure
of
investment
personnel
compensation;
oversight
of
third-
party
service
providers;
investment
performance
reports
and
related
financial
information
for
each
Fund;
reports
on
expenses
and
shareholder
services;
legal
and
compliance
matters;
risk
controls;
pricing
and
other
services
provided
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates;
and
management
fees
charged
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
to
US
funds
and
other
accounts,
including
management’s
explanation
of
differences
among
accounts
where
relevant.
The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
an
annual
report
on
payments
made
by
Franklin
Templeton
(FT)
or
the
Funds
to
financial
intermediaries,
as
well
as
a
memorandum
relating
to
third-
party
servicing
arrangements,
which
included
discussion
of
the
changing
distribution
landscape
for
the
Funds.
The
Board
acknowledged
the
ongoing
integration
of
the
Legg
Mason
family
of
funds
into
the
FT
family
of
funds
and
developing
strategies
to
address
areas
of
heightened
concern
in
the
mutual
fund
industry,
including
various
regulatory
initiatives
and
recent
geopolitical
concerns.

The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
the
benefits
provided
to
Fund
shareholders
of
investing
in
a
fund
that
is
part
of
the
FT
family
of
funds.
The
Board
noted
the
financial
position
of
Franklin
Resources,
Inc.
(FRI),
the
Manager’s
parent,
and
its
commitment
to
the
mutual
fund
business
as
evidenced
by
its
reassessment
of
the
fund
offerings
in
response
to
the
market
environment
and
project
initiatives
and
capital
investments
relating
to
the
services
provided
to
the
Funds
by
the
FT
organization.
The
Board
specifically
noted
FT’s
commitment
to
being
a
global
leader
in
stewardship
and
sustainability
and
the
recent
addition
of
a
senior
executive
focused
on
environmental,
social
and
governance
and
climate
control
initiatives.
Following
consideration
of
such
information,
the
Board
was
satisfied
with
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
to
the
Funds
and
their
shareholders.
Fund
Performance
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
the
performance
results
of
each
Fund
over
various
time
periods
ended
November
30,
2021,
except
for
the
Franklin
LifeSmart
2060
Retirement
Target
Fund.
The
Board
noted
that
it
would
need
more
time
to
evaluate
the
performance
of
the
Franklin
LifeSmart
2060
Retirement
Target
Fund
as
the
Fund
commenced
operations
on
January
21,
2021
and
had
less
than
$1
million
in
assets
(comprised
substantially
of
seed
money).
The
Board
considered
the
performance
returns
for
each
other
Fund
in
comparison
to
the
performance
returns
of
mutual
funds
deemed
comparable
to
the
Fund
included
in
a
universe
(Performance
Universe)
selected
by
Broadridge
Financial
Solutions,
Inc.
(Broadridge),
an
independent
provider
of
investment
company
data.
The
Board
received
a
description
of
the
methodology
used
by
Broadridge
to
select
the
mutual
funds
included
in
a
Performance
Universe.
The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
Fund
performance
reports
provided
and
discussions
that
occurred
with
portfolio
managers
at
Board
meetings
throughout
the
year.
A
summary
of
each
Fund’s
performance
results
is
below.
Overall,
the
Board
recalled
the
historic
conservative
nature
of
the
LifeSmart
Retirement
Funds
generally
and
the
performance
of
the
funds
in
which
they
invest.
The
Board
discussed
with
management
its
ongoing
evaluation
of
the
Funds
and
noted
that,
effective
May
1,
2019,
each
Fund
(except
for
the
Franklin
LifeSmart
Retirement
Income
Fund)
made
changes
to
its
glide
path
and
asset
allocation
which
are
characterized
by
both
a
more
aggressive
equity
allocation
in
the
early
years
as
well
as
continuing
to
adjust
its
allocation
mix
through
retirement
to
its
final
landing
point
at
5
years
post-retirement.
The
Board
also
noted
that,
effective
January
29,
2021,
the
Franklin
LifeSmart
Retirement
Income
Fund
changed
its
asset
allocation
to
align
its
portfolio
with
the
landing
point
of
the
glide
paths
of
the
other
LifeSmart
Retirement
Funds
and
that
the
other
LifeSmart
Retirement
Funds
modified
the
landing
point
of
their
glide
paths
to
be
in
line
with
the
new
required
distribution
age
of
72.
Franklin
LifeSmart
Retirement
Income
Fund
-
The
Performance
Universe
for
the
Fund
included
the
Fund
and
all
retail
and
institutional
retirement
income
funds.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Fund’s
annualized
income
return
for
the
one-,
three-,
five-
and
10-year
periods
was
above
the
median
of
its
Performance
Universe.
The
Board
also
noted
that
the
Fund’s
annualized
total
return
for
the
one-,
three-,
five-
and
10-year
periods
was
below
the
median
and
in
the
fifth
quintile
(worst)
of
its
respective
Performance
Universe.
The
Board
discussed
this
performance
with
management
and
management
explained
that
during
the
past
5
years,
the
more
aggressive
“flow
through”
glide
paths
of
Fund
peers
have
outperformed
the
Fund’s
more
conservative
“flow
to”
glide
path
with
peers
having
a
higher
equity
allocation
and
lower
fixed
income
allocation
than
the
Fund.
The
Board
noted
management’s
steps
to
address
the
Fund’s
underperformance,
including
the
implementation
of
the
revised
glide
path
and
an
increase
to
the
Fund’s
strategic
equity
allocation,
and
concluded
that
the
Fund’s
Management
Agreement
should
be
continued
for
an
additional
one-year
period,
and
management’s
efforts
should
continue
to
be
closely
monitored.

and
thus
has
been

The

noted
that
the
Fund’s
annualized
income
return
for
the
one-year
period
was
below
the
median
of
its
Performance
Universe,
but
for
the
three-
and
five-year
periods
was
above
the
median
of

Universe.
The
Board
also
noted
that
the
Fund’s
annualized
total
return
for
the
one-year
period
was
equal
to
the
median
of
its
Performance

but
for

was
below

reducing

equity

in
April
2020,
and
then
shifted
back
to
a
“neutral”

path
in

2020.
Management
further
explained
that
the
April
2020
shift
away
from

securities
adversely
impacted
the
Funds’
performance
versus
peers
as
the
S&P

Index
rallied
by
approximately
23%
over
the
period
the
Fund
implemented
the
“defensive”
glide
path.
The

noted

steps
to

underperformance,
including
the

including
the
implementation

an
increase
to
the

and
concluded
that
the

should
be

for
each
of
the
Franklin
LifeSmart
2050
Retirement
Target
Fund
and

Retirement
Target
Fund
included
the
Fund
and
all
retail
and
institutional
mixed-asset
target
2050
or
2055
funds,
respectively.
The
Franklin
LifeSmart
2050
Retirement
Target
Fund
commenced
operations
on
July
1,
2013
and
the
Franklin
LifeSmart
2055
Retirement
Target
Fund
commenced
operations
on
May
1,
2015,
thus
each
Fund
has
been
in
operation
for
less
than
ten
years.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Funds’
annualized
total
returns
for
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
were
below
the
medians
of
their
respective
Performance
Universes.
The
Board
discussed
this
performance
with
management
and
management
explained
that
during
the
past
5
years,
the
more
aggressive
“flow
through”
glide
paths
of
Fund
peers
have
outperformed
the
Fund’s
more
conservative
“flow
to”
glide
path
with
peers
having
a
higher
equity
allocation
and
lower
fixed
income
allocation
than
the
Fund.
The
Board
noted
management’s
steps
to
address
the
Fund’s
underperformance,
including
the
implementation
of
the
revised
glide
path
and
an
increase
to
the
Fund’s
strategic
equity
allocation,
and
concluded
that
each
Fund’s
Management
Agreement
should
be
continued
for
an
additional
one-year
period,
and
management’s
efforts
should
continue
to
be
closely
monitored.
Comparative
Fees
and
Expenses
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
regarding
each
Fund’s
actual
total
expense
ratio
and
its
various
components,
including,
as
applicable,
management
fees;
transfer
agent
expenses;
underlying
fund
expenses;
Rule
12b-1
and
non-Rule
12b-1
service
fees;
and
other
non-
management
fees.
The
Board
also
noted
the
quarterly
and
annual
reports
it
receives
on
all
marketing
support
payments
made
by
FT
to
financial
intermediaries.
The
Board
considered
the
actual
total
expense
ratio
and,
separately,
the
contractual
management
fee
rate,
without
the
effect
of
fee
waivers,
if
any
(Management
Rate)
of
each
Fund,
except
for
the
Franklin
LifeSmart
2060
Retirement
Target
Fund,
in
comparison
to
the
median
expense
ratio
and
median
Management

respectively,
of
other
mutual
funds
deemed
comparable
to
and
with
a
similar
expense
structure
to
the
Fund
selected
by
Broadridge
(Expense
Group).
Broadridge

report,
which
reflects
historical
asset
levels
that
may
be
quite
different
from
those
currently
existing,
particularly
in
a
period
of
market
volatility.
While
recognizing
such
inherent
limitation
and
the
fact
that
expense
ratios
and
Management
Rates
generally
increase
as
assets
decline
and
decrease
as
assets
grow,
the
Board
believed
the
independent
analysis
conducted
by
Broadridge
to
be
an
appropriate
measure
of
comparative
fees
and
expenses.
The
Broadridge
Management
Rate
includes
administrative
charges,
and
the
actual
total
expense
ratio,
for
comparative
consistency,
was
shown
for
Class
A
shares
for
funds
with
multiple
classes
of
shares.
The
Board
received
a
description
of
the
methodology
used
by
Broadridge
to
select
the
mutual
funds
included
in
an
Expense
Group.
The
Board
separately
considered
the
contractual
management
fee
of
the
Franklin
LifeSmart
2060
Retirement
Target
Fund
and
management’s
representation
that
the
Fund
has
a
pricing
schedule
similar
to
its
respective
retail
counterparts.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Fund’s
actual
total
expense
ratio
reflected
a
fee
waiver
from
management.
The
Board
concluded
that
the
Management
Rate
charged
to
the
Fund
is
reasonable.
Franklin
LifeSmart
Retirement
Income
Fund
-
The
Expense
Group
for
the
Fund
included
the
Fund,
one
other
retirement
income
fund
and
eight
mixed-asset
target
today
funds.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Management
Rate
and
actual
total
expense
ratio
for
the
Fund
were
below
the
medians
of
its
Expense
Group.
The
Board
also
noted
that
the
Fund’s
investment
management
agreement
permits
the
Fund
to
pay
fees
for
services
other
than
asset
allocation
services,
including
in
order
for
the
Fund
to
employ
an
income
generation
strategy
to
generate
income
for
its
managed
distribution
policy.
The
Board
further
noted
that
the
Fund
invests
in
third-party
mutual
funds
or
exchange-traded
funds
in
excess
of
the
statutory
limitations
under
the
1940
Act
in
reliance
on
recently
adopted
Rule
12d1-4
under
the
1940
Act.
The
Board,
including
a
majority
of
the
Independent
Trustees,
determined
that
the
Management
Rate
paid
by
the
Fund
is
based
on
services
provided
that
are
in
addition
to,
rather
than
duplicative
of,
the
services
provided
under
the
investment
management
agreements
of
the
underlying
funds
in
which
the
Fund
invests.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Fund’s
actual
total
expense
ratio
reflected
a
fee
waiver
from
management.
The
Board
concluded
that
the
Management
Rate
charged
to
the
Fund
is
reasonable.

The
Board
noted
that
the

and
actual

ratio
for
the
Fund
were
only
slightly
above
the
median
of
its
Expense
Group.
The
Board
also
noted
that
the
total
expense
ratio
reflected
a
fee

The
Board
further
noted
that
the

paid
by
the

is

The

noted
that

and
that

Profitability
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
regarding
the
profits
realized
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
in
connection
with
the
operation
of
each
Fund.
In
this
respect,
the
Board
considered
the
Fund
profitability
analysis
provided
by
the
Manager
that
addresses
the
overall
profitability
of
FT’s
US
fund
business,
as
well
as
its
profits
in
providing
investment

and
other
services

Report
the

during
the
12-month
period
ended
September
30,
2021,
being
the
most
recent
fiscal
year-
end
for
FRI.
The
Board
noted
that
although
management
continually
makes
refinements
to
its
methodologies
used
in
calculating
profitability
in
response
to
organizational
and
product-related
changes,
the
overall
methodology
has
remained
consistent
with
that
used
in
the
Funds’
profitability
report
presentations
from
prior
years.
The
Board
also
noted
that
PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP,
auditor
to
FRI
and
certain
FT
funds,
has
been
engaged
by
the
Manager
to
periodically
review
and
assess
the
allocation
methodologies
to
be
used
solely
by
the
Funds’
Board
with
respect
to
the
profitability
analysis.
The
Board
noted
management’s
belief
that
costs
incurred
in
establishing
the
infrastructure
necessary
for
the
type
of
mutual
fund
operations
conducted
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
may
not
be
fully
reflected
in
the
expenses
allocated
to
each
Fund
in
determining
its
profitability,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
the
level
of
profits,
to
a
certain
extent,
reflected
operational
cost
savings
and
efficiencies
initiated
by
management.
As
part
of
this
evaluation,
the
Board
considered
management’s
outsourcing
of
certain
operations,
which
effort
has
required
considerable
up-front
expenditures
by
the
Manager
but,
over
the
long
run
is
expected
to
result
in
greater
efficiencies.
The
Board
also
noted
management’s
expenditures
in
improving
shareholder
services
provided
to
the
Funds,
as
well
as
the
need
to
implement
systems
and
meet
additional
regulatory
and
compliance
requirements
resulting
from
recent
US
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
other
regulatory
requirements.
The
Board
also
considered
the
extent
to
which
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
might
derive
ancillary
benefits
from
fund
operations,
including
revenues
generated
from
transfer
agent
services,
potential
benefits
resulting
from
personnel
and
systems
enhancements
necessitated
by
fund
growth,
as
well
as
increased
leverage
with
service
providers
and
counterparties.
Based
upon
its
consideration
of
all
these
factors,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
level
of
profits
realized
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
from
providing
services
to
each
Fund
was
not
excessive
in
view
of
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
to
each
Fund.
Economies
of
Scale
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
the
extent
to
which
the
Manager
may
realize
economies
of
scale,
if
any,
as
each
Fund
grows
larger
and
whether
each
Fund’s
management
fee
structure
reflects
any
economies
of
scale
for
the
benefit
of
shareholders.
The
Board
considered
the
Manager’s
view
that
any
analyses
of
potential
economies
of
scale
in
managing
a
particular
fund
are
inherently
limited
in
light
of
the
joint
and
common
costs
and
investments
the
Manager
incurs
across
the
FT
family
of
funds
as
a
whole.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Funds
are
not
of
a
sufficient
size
to
likely
be
able
to
realize
economies
of
scale
and
that
the
asset
allocation
services
covered
by
the
current
Management
Rate
may
be
less
likely
to
experience
economies
of
scale
as
assets
grow.
Conclusion
Based
on
its
review,
consideration
and
evaluation
of
all
factors
it
believed
relevant,
including
the
above-described
factors
and
conclusions,
the
Board
unanimously
approved
the
continuation
of
each
Management
Agreement
for
an
additional
one-year
period.
Liquidity
Risk
Management
Program
Each
Fund
has
adopted
and
implemented
a
written
Liquidity
Risk
Management
Program
(the
“LRMP”)
as
required
by
Rule
22e-4
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
“Liquidity
Rule”).
The
LRMP
is
designed
to
assess
and
manage
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk,
which
is
defined
as
the
risk
that
the
Fund
could
not
meet
requests
to
redeem
shares
issued
by
the
Fund
without
significant
dilution
of
remaining
investors’
interests
in
the
Fund.
In
accordance
with
the
Liquidity
Rule,
the
LRMP
includes
policies
and
procedures
that
provide
for:
(1)
assessment,
management,
and
review
(no
less
frequently
than
annually)
of
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk;
(2)
classification
of
each
Fund’s
portfolio
holdings
into
one
of
four
liquidity
categories
(Highly
Liquid,
Moderately
Liquid,
Less
Liquid,
and
Illiquid);
(3)
for
Funds
that
do
not
primarily
hold
assets
that
are
Highly
Liquid,
establishing
and
maintaining
a
minimum
percentage
of
the
Fund’s
net
assets
in
Highly
Liquid
investments
(called
a
“Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum”
or
“HLIM”);
and
(4)
prohibiting
the
Fund’s
acquisition
of
Illiquid
investments
that
would
result
in
the
Fund
holding
more
than
15%
of
its
net
assets
in
Illiquid
assets.
The
LRMP
also
requires
reporting
to
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
(on
a
non-public
basis)
and
to
the
Board
if
the
Fund’s
holdings
of
Illiquid
assets
exceed
15%
of
the
Fund’s
net
assets.
Funds
with
HLIMs
must
have
procedures
for
addressing
HLIM
shortfalls,
including
reporting
to
the
Board
and,
with
respect
to
HLIM
shortfalls
lasting
more
than
seven
consecutive
calendar
days,
reporting
to
the
SEC
(on
a
non-public
basis).
The
Director
of
Liquidity
Risk
within
the
Investment
Risk
Management
Group
(the
“IRMG”)
is
the
appointed
Administrator
of
the
LRMP.
The
IRMG
maintains
the
Investment
Liquidity
Committee
(the
“ILC”)
to
provide
oversight
and
administration
of
policies
and
procedures
governing
liquidity
risk
management
for
Franklin
Templeton
and
Legg
Mason
products
and
portfolios.

Legal,
Investment
Compliance,
Investment
Operations,
Valuation
Committee,
Product
Management
and
Global
Product
Strategy.
In
assessing
and
managing
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk,
the
ILC
considers,
as
relevant,
a
variety
of
factors,
including
the
Fund’s
investment
strategy
and
the
liquidity
of
its
portfolio
investments
during
both
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions;
its
short
and
long-term
cash
flow
projections;
and
its
cash
holdings
and
access
to
other
funding
sources
including
the
Funds’
interfund
lending
facility
and
line
of
credit.
Classification
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
holdings
in
the
four
liquidity
categories
is
based
on
the
number
of
days
it
is
reasonably
expected
to
take
to
convert
the
investment
to
cash
(for
Highly
Liquid
and
Moderately
Liquid
holdings)
or
sell
or
dispose
of
the
investment
(for
Less
Liquid
and
Illiquid
investments),
in
current
market
conditions
without
significantly
changing
the
investment’s
market
value.
At
meetings
of
the
Funds’
Board
of
Trustees
held
in
May
2022,
the
Program
Administrator
provided
a
written
report
to
the
Board
addressing
the
adequacy
and
effectiveness
of
the
program
for
the
year
ended
December
31,
2021.
The
Program
Administrator
report
concluded
that
(i.)
the
LRMP,
as
adopted
and
implemented,
remains
reasonably
designed
to
assess
and
manage
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk;
(ii.)
the
LRMP,
including
the
Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum
(“HLIM”)
where
applicable,
was
implemented
and
operated
effectively
to
achieve
the
goal
of
assessing
and
managing
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk;
and
(iii.)
each
Fund
was
able
to
meet
requests
for
redemption
without
significant
dilution
of
remaining
investors’
interests
in
the
Fund.

Shareholder
Letter
Dear
Shareholder:
During
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2022,
the
U.S.
economy
showed
progress
as
it
continued
to
recover
from
the
COVID-19
pandemic
amid
declining
unemployment,
rising
wages
and
increased
consumer
expenditures.
The
U.S.
economy
contracted
in
2022’s
first
quarter
given
a
record
trade
deficit
and
a
decline
in
inventory
investment,
while
consumer
spending
expanded
more
slowly,
helped
by
the
reopening
of
businesses,
widespread
vaccinations
and
federal
assistance
programs.
Inflation
increased
during
the
six-month
period,
influenced
by
pandemic-related
supply
chain
issues,
higher
energy
prices,
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine
and
broader
price
pressures.
During
the
first
half
of
this
period,
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
continued
some
quantitative
easing
measures
to
bolster
credit
markets
and
encourage
economic
activity.
However,
to
support
its
goals
to
maximize
employment
and
return
long-
term
annual
inflation
to
2%,
the
Federal
Reserve
continued
reversing
its
quantitative
easing
measures,
increasing
its
monthly
asset
purchase
tapering
and
ending
purchases
by
March
2022.
The
Federal
Reserve
also
raised
the
federal
funds
rate
by
0.25%
in
March,
0.50%
in
May
and
0.75%
in
June,
for
a
total
of
1.50%,
increasing
the
rate
from
0.25%
to
1.75%
during
the
period.
Additionally,
the
Federal
Reserve
stated
its
intention
to
continue
reducing
its
U.S.
Treasury,
government
agency
debt
and
mortgage-backed
securities
holdings,
and
reiterated
its
anticipation
of
ongoing
increases
to
combat
inflation.
Resilient
consumer
demand
together
with
persistent
supply-
chain
disruptions
contributed
to
higher
inflation
in
numerous
countries,
and
many
central
banks
tightened
monetary
policy.
China
imposed
new
lockdowns
to
mitigate
the
spread
of
COVID-19,
which
pressured
Asian
and
global
emerging
market
stocks.
International
sanctions
on
Russia
in
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine
hindered
companies
doing
business
with
Russia
and
disrupted
global
economic
activity
and
commodity
markets.
In
this
environment,
the
prices
of
U.S.
stocks,
as
measured
by
the
Standard
&
Poor’s
®
500
Index
(S&P
500
®
),
returned
-20.58%
(the
index
decreasing
from
4,766.18
to
3,785.38).
1,3
The
prices
of
stocks
in
global
developed
markets,
as
measured
by
the
MSCI
World
Index,
returned
-21.21%
(the
index
decreasing
from
3,231.727
to
2,546.185).
2,3
Investment-grade
bonds,
as
measured
by
the
Bloomberg
U.S.
Aggregate
Bond
Index
(Bloomberg
Index),
posted
a
-10.35%
total
return
(an
index
decrease
from
2,355.14
to
2,111.40),
which
includes
reinvestment
of
income
and
distributions,
reflecting
the
rise
in
interest
rates.
4
We
recognize
the
important
role
of
financial
professionals
in
today’s
markets
and
encourage
investors
to
continue
to
seek
their
advice.
Amid
changing
markets
and
economic
conditions,
we
are
confident
investors
with
a
well-diversified
portfolio
and
a
patient,
long-term
outlook
should
be
well
positioned
for
the
years
ahead.
In
addition,
Franklin
Fund
Allocator
Series’
semiannual
report
includes
more
detail
about
investment
decisions
during
the
period.
All
securities
markets
fluctuate
in
value,
as
do
mutual

prices.
We
thank
you

look
forward

your
future

needs.

SEMIANNUAL
REPORT
Economic
and
Market
Overview
Global
developed
and
emerging
market
equities,
as
measured
by
the
MSCI
All
Country
World
Index-NR
(net
of
tax
withholding
when
dividends
are
paid),
posted
a
-20.18%
total
return
for
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2022.
1
The
combination
of
resilient
consumer
demand
and
persistent
supply-chain
disruptions
contributed
to
higher
inflation
in
many
countries.
This
inflationary
pressure
led
many
of
the
world’s
central
banks
to
adopt
less
accommodative
stances
regarding
monetary
policy.
The
Chinese
government’s
imposition
of
new
lockdowns
to
quell
the
spread
of
the
Omicron
variant
of
COVID-19
pressured
Asian
and
global
emerging
market
stocks.
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine
also
increased
investor
uncertainty,
as
international
sanctions
on
Russia
constrained
companies
that
do
business
with
Russia
and
disrupted
global
economic
activity
and
commodity
markets.
In
the
U.S.,
gross
domestic
product
(GDP)
growth
turned
negative
in
the
first
quarter
of
2022
as
high
inflation,
supply
constraints
and
record
trade
deficits
weighed
on
the
economy.
Rising
prices
precipitated
a
notable
decline
in
consumer
confidence,
despite
high
spending
levels.
In
an
effort
to
control
inflation,
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
raised
the
federal
funds
target
rate
in
March
2022
for
the
first
time
since
2018.
The
Fed
raised
the
federal
funds
rate
again
at
its
subsequent
two
meetings,
accelerating
the
rate
of
increase
each
time
to
end
the
period
at
a
range
of
1.50%–1.75%.
The
Fed
noted
in
its
June
meeting
that
inflation
remained
elevated,
as
job
growth
was
robust
and
the
unemployment
rate
remained
low.
Furthermore,
the
Fed
said
it
would
continue
to
reduce
its
bond
holdings,
and
anticipated
instituting
further
interest
rate
increases
at
future
meetings.
Economic
growth
in
the
eurozone
maintained
a
slow
rate
in
the
first
quarter
of
2022
as
the
war
in
Ukraine
disrupted
supply
chains,
sent
commodity
prices
higher,
and
weakened
the
economic
outlook.
The
war
in
Ukraine
contributed
to
record
high
inflation
across
the
eurozone
as
commodity
and
oil
prices
soared.
The
European
Central
Bank
indicated
it
will
raise
interest
rates
in
July,
the
first
increase
in
more
than
a
decade,
to
fight
growing
inflation.
In
this
environment,
European
developed
market
equities,
as
measured
by
the
MSCI
Europe
Index-NR,
posted
a
-20.79%
total
return
for
the
six
months
under
review.

Asian
developed
and
emerging
market
equities,
as
measured
by
the
MSCI
All
Country
Asia
Index-NR,
posted
a
-17.69%
total
return
for
the
six-month
period.

While
many
Asian
countries
experienced
improving
economic
conditions,
Japan’s
GDP
contracted
in
the
first
quarter
of
2022
after
having
returned
to
growth
in
the
fourth
quarter
of
2021.
Although
China’s
economy
continued
to
grow,
it
was
pressured
by
coronavirus-related
restrictions
and
government
measures
to
limit
real
estate
speculation.
Unexpected
regulatory
changes
by
the
Chinese
government,
which
negatively
impacted
education-
and
technology-
related
businesses,
and
investor
concerns
about
the
solvency
of
several
large
Chinese
property
developers
further
pressured
Chinese
stocks.
Global
emerging
market
stocks,
as
measured
by
the
MSCI
Emerging
Markets
Index-NR,
posted
a
-17.63%
total
return
for
the
six
months
under
review.

Following
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine,
climbing
food
and
energy
prices
kindled
inflationary
pressures
and
raised
concerns
over
the
possibility
of
government
debt
defaults
in
some
countries.
Meanwhile,
some
countries,
particularly
in
Latin
America,
as
well
as
South
Africa
and
Saudi
Arabia,
have
benefited
from
the
rising
commodity
prices.

predominantly
other
Franklin

Investment
Strategy
Whenever
possible,
we
attempt
to
hold
the
same
underlying
Franklin
Templeton
and
Legg
Mason
funds
and
other
fund
investments
(collectively,
“fund
investments”)
in
each
Allocation
Fund’s
portfolio
and
will
vary
the
allocation
percentages
of
the
fund
investments
based
upon
each
Allocation
Fund’s
risk/return
level.
Under
normal
market
conditions,
we
allocate
the
Fund’s
assets
among
the
broad
asset
classes
of
equity
and
fixed
income
investments
by
investing
primarily
in
a
distinctly-weighted
combination
of
underlying
funds,
based
on
each
underlying
fund’s
predominant
asset
class
and
strategy.
These
underlying
funds,
in
turn,
invest
in
a
variety
of
U.S.
and
foreign
equity
and
fixed
income
securities,
and
may
also
have
exposure
to
derivative
instruments.
We
use
the
following
as
a
general
guide
in
allocating
the
Fund’s
assets
among
the
broad
asset
classes:
60%
fixed
income
funds
and
40%
equity
funds.
When
selecting
equity
funds,
we
consider
the
funds’
foreign
and
domestic
exposure,
market
capitalization
ranges
and
investment
styles
(growth
versus
value).
When
selecting
fixed
income
funds,
we
focus
on
income
as
a
means
of
diversification
to
help
offset
the
risk
presented
by
exposure
to
equity
investments
and
on
maximizing
income
appropriate
to
the
Fund’s
risk
profile.
We
also
consider
the
duration
and
maturity
of
the
underlying
funds’
portfolios.
*The
asset
allocation
is
based
on
the
Schedule
of
Investments
(SOI),
which
classifies
each
underlying
fund
and
other
fund
investments
into
a
broad
asset
class
based
on
its
predominant
investments
under
normal
market
conditions.
Manager’s
Discussion
The
Fund’s
cross-asset
allocation
contributed
to
relative
performance
and
helped
it
perform
better
than
the
Linked
Franklin
Conservative
Allocation
Fund
Benchmark-NR
for
the
six-month
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
Fund
selection
overall
was
also
positive.
Within
equities,
Franklin
U.S.
Core
Equity
Fund
contributed
to
relative
performance
due
in
part
to
its
systematic
process
focused
on
quality,
value
and
momentum
style
factors.

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
possible
loss
of
principal.
The
Fund’s
ability
to
achieve
its
investment
goal
depends
upon
the
investment
manager’s
skill
in
determining
the
Fund’s
broad
asset
allocation
mix
and
selecting
underlying
funds.
Because
this
Fund
invests
in
underlying
funds,
it
is
subject
to
the
same
risks,
and
indirectly
bears
the
fees
and
expenses,
of
the
underlying
funds.
Stock
prices
fluctuate,
sometimes
rapidly
and
dramatically,
due
to
factors
affecting
individual
companies,
particular
industries
or
sectors,
or
general
market
conditions.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
Thus,
as
the
prices
of
bonds
in
a
fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
that
fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Investors
should
consult
their
financial
advisor
for
help
selecting
the
appropriate
fund
of
funds,
or
fund
combination,
based
on
an
evaluation
of
their
investment
objectives
and
risk
tolerance.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
diseases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
The
Fund’s
prospectus
also
includes
a
description
of
the
main
investment
risks.
Russia’s
military
invasion
of
Ukraine
in
February
2022,
the
resulting
responses
by
the
United
States
and
other
countries,
and
the
potential
for
wider
conflict
could
increase
volatility
and
uncertainty
in
the
financial
markets
and
adversely
affect
regional
and
global
economies.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
im-
posed
broad-ranging
economic
sanctions
on
Russia
and
certain
Russian
individuals,
banking
entities
and
corporations
as
a
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
also
imposed
economic
sanctions
on
Belarus
and
may
impose
sanctions
on
other
countries
that
support
Russia’s
military
invasion.
These
sanctions,
as
well
as
any
other
economic
consequences
related
to
the
invasion,
such
as
additional
sanctions,
boycotts
or
changes
in
consumer
or
purchaser
preferences
or
cyberattacks
on
governments,
companies
or
individuals,
may
further
decrease
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
Russian
securities
and
securities
of
issuers
in
other
countries
that
are
subject
to
economic
sanctions
related
to
the
invasion.

combined
into
the
fixed

such
a
change
can

Semiannual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.

Investment
Strategy
Whenever
possible,
we
attempt
to
hold
the
same
underlying
Franklin
Templeton
and
Legg
Mason
funds
and
other
fund
investments
(collectively,
“fund
investments”)
in
each
Allocation
Fund’s
portfolio
and
will
vary
the
allocation
percentages
of
the
fund
investments
based
upon
each
Allocation
Fund’s
risk/return
level.
Under
normal
market
conditions,
we
allocate
the
Fund’s
assets
among
the
broad
asset
classes
of
equity
and
fixed
income
investments
by
investing
primarily
in
a
distinctly-weighted
combination
of
underlying
funds,
based
on
each
underlying
fund’s
predominant
asset
class
and
strategy.
These
underlying
funds,
in
turn,
invest
in
a
variety
of
U.S.
and
foreign
equity
and
fixed-income
securities,
and
may
also
have
exposure
to
derivative
instruments.
We
use
the
following
as
a
general
guide
in
allocating
the
Fund’s
assets
among
the
broad
asset
classes:
60%
equity
funds
and
40%
fixed
income
funds.
When
selecting
equity
funds,
we
consider
the
fund
investments’
foreign
and
domestic
exposure,
market
capitalization
ranges
and
investment
styles
(growth
versus
value).
When
selecting
fixed
income
funds,
we
focus
on
income
as
a
means
of
diversification
to
help
offset
the
risk
presented
by
exposure
to
equity
investments
and
on
maximizing
income
appropriate
to
the
Fund’s
specific
risk
profile.
We

Semiannual
Report
Within
equities,
Franklin
U.S.
Core
Equity
Fund
contributed
to
relative
performance
due
in
part
to
its
systematic
process
focused
on
quality,
value
and
momentum
style
factors.
Franklin
International
Growth
Fund,
however,
detracted
from
relative
performance
as
international
growth
stocks
were
out
of
favor.
Within
fixed
income,
the
shorter
duration
positioning
of
the
Franklin
Liberty
International
Aggregate
Bond
ETF
contributed
to
relative
performance
in
a
challenging
environment
for
international
bonds.
Meanwhile,
Western
Asset
Core
Plus
Bond
Fund
underperformed
as
it
was
positioned
with
a
view
that
inflation
would
be
short
lived.
Its
longer
duration
positioning
negatively
impacted
performance
in
the
first
half
of
2022.
The
Allocation
Fund
carried
an
effective
tactical
cash
position
as
a
hedge
in
a
declining
market
environment
for
both
equities
and
fixed

The

did

Performance
Summary

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
possible
loss
of
principal.
The
Fund’s
ability
to
achieve
its
investment
goal
depends
upon
the
investment
manager’s
skill
in
determining
the
Fund’s
broad
asset
allocation
mix
and
selecting
underlying
funds.
Because
this
Fund
invests
in
underlying
funds,
it
is
subject
to
the
same
risks,
and
indirectly
bears
the
fees
and
expenses,
of
the
underlying
funds.
Stock
prices
fluctuate,
sometimes
rapidly
and
dramatically,
due
to
factors
affecting
individual
companies,
particular
industries
or
sectors,
or
general
market
conditions.
Smaller
or
relatively
new
or
unseasoned
companies
can
be
particularly
sensitive
to
changing
economic
conditions,
and
their
prospects
for
growth
are
less
certain
than
those
of
larger,
more
established
companies.
Bond
prices
gen-
erally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
Thus,
as
the
prices
of
bonds
in
a
fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
that
fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Investors
should
consult
their
financial
advisor
for
help
selecting
the
appropriate
fund
of
funds,
or
fund
combination,
based
on
an
evaluation
of
their
investment
objectives
and
risk
tolerance.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
diseases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
The
Fund’s
prospectus
also
includes
a
description
of
the
main
investment
risks.
Russia’s
military
invasion
of
Ukraine
in
February
2022,
the
resulting
responses
by
the
United
States
and
other
countries,
and
the
potential
for
wider
conflict
could
increase
volatility
and
uncertainty
in
the
financial
markets
and
adversely
affect
regional
and
global
economies.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
im-
posed
broad-ranging
economic
sanctions
on
Russia
and
certain
Russian
individuals,
banking
entities
and
corporations
as
a
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
also
imposed
economic
sanctions
on
Belarus
and
may
impose
sanctions
on
other
countries
that
support
Russia’s
military
invasion.
These
sanctions,
as
well
as
any
other
economic
consequences
related
to
the
invasion,
such
as
additional
sanctions,
boycotts
or
changes
in
consumer
or
purchaser
preferences
or
cyberattacks
on
governments,
companies
or
individuals,
may
further
decrease
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
Russian
securities
and
securities
of
issuers
in
other
countries
that
are
subject
to
economic
sanctions
related
to
the
invasion.

changed
its

allocation,
with
short-term
investments
(formerly
a
targeted
allocation
of
20%)
combined
into
the
fixed
income
allocations;
such
a
change
can
impact
performance.

Semiannual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.

Investment
Strategy
Whenever
possible,
we
attempt
to
hold
the
same
underlying
Franklin
Templeton
and
Legg
Mason
funds
and
other
fund
investments
(collectively,
“fund
investments”)
in
each
Allocation
Fund’s
portfolio
and
will
vary
the
allocation
percentages
of
the
fund
investments
based
upon
each
Allocation
Fund’s
risk/return
level.
Under
normal
market
conditions,
we
allocate
the
Fund’s
assets
among
the
broad
asset
classes
of
equity
and
fixed
income
investments
by
investing
primarily
in
a
distinctly-weighted
combination
of
underlying
funds,
based
on
each
underlying
fund’s
predominant
asset
class
and
strategy.
These
underlying
funds,
in
turn,
invest
in
a
variety
of
U.S.
and
foreign
equity
and
fixed-income
securities,
and
may
also
have
exposure
to
derivative
instruments.
We
use
the
following
as
a
general
guide
in
allocating
the
Fund’s
assets
among
the
broad
asset
classes:
80%
equity
funds
and
20%
fixed
income
funds.
When
selecting
equity
funds,
we
consider
the
fund
investments’
foreign
and
domestic
exposure,
market
capitalization
ranges
and
investment
styles
(growth
versus
value).
When
selecting
fixed
income
funds,
we
focus
on
income
as
a
means
of
diversification
to
help
offset
the
risk
presented
by
exposure
to
equity
investments
and
on
maximizing
income
appropriate
to
the
Fund’s
risk
profile.
We
also
consider
the
duration
and
maturity
of
the
underlying
funds’
portfolios.
*The
asset
allocation
is
based
on
the
Schedule
of
Investments
(SOI),
which
classifies
each
underlying
fund
and
other
fund
investments
into
a
broad
asset
class
based
on
its
predominant
investments
under
normal
market
conditions.
Manager’s

Semiannual
Report
Within
equities,
Franklin
U.S.
Core
Equity
Fund
contributed
to
relative
performance
due
in
part
to
its
systematic
process
focused
on
quality,
value
and
momentum
style
factors.
Franklin
International
Growth
Fund,
however,
detracted
from
relative
performance
as
international
growth
stocks
were
out
of
favor.
Within
fixed
income,
the
shorter
duration
positioning
of
the
Franklin
Liberty
International
Aggregate
Bond
ETF
contributed
to
relative
performance
in
a
challenging
environment
for
international
bonds.
Meanwhile,
Western
Asset
Core
Plus
Bond
Fund
underperformed
as
it
was
positioned
with
a
view
that
inflation
would
be
short
lived.
Its
longer
duration
positioning
negatively
impacted
performance
in
the
first
half
of
2022.
The
Allocation
Fund
carried
an
effective
tactical
cash
position
as
a
hedge
in
a
declining
market
environment
for
both
equities
and

The

did
not

during

Summary

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
possible
loss
of
principal.
Because
this
Fund
invests
in
underlying
funds,
it
is
subject
to
the
same
risks,
and
indirectly
bears
the
fees
and
expenses,
of
the
underlying
funds.
Stock
prices
fluctuate,
sometimes
rapidly
and
dramatically,
due
to
factors
affecting
individual
companies,
particular
industries
or
sectors,
or
general
market
conditions.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
Thus,
as
the
prices
of
bonds
in
a
fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
that
fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Growth
stock
prices
reflect
projections
of
future
earnings
or
revenues,
and
can
therefore
fall
dramatically
if
the
company
fails
to
meet
those
projections.
Value
securities
may
not
increase
in
price
as
anticipated
or
may
decline
further
in
value.
Foreign
investing
carries
additional
risks
such
as
currency
and
market
volatility
and
political
or
social
instability,
risks
which
are
heightened
in
developing
countries.
Investors
should
consult
their
financial
advisor
for
help
selecting
the
appropriate
fund
of
funds,
or
fund
combination,
based
on
an
evaluation
of
their
investment
objectives
and
risk
tolerance.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
diseases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
The
Fund’s
prospectus
also
includes
a
description
of
the
main
investment
risks.
Russia’s
military
invasion
of
Ukraine
in
February
2022,
the
resulting
responses
by
the
United
States
and
other
countries,
and
the
potential
for
wider
conflict
could
increase
volatility
and
uncertainty
in
the
financial
markets
and
adversely
affect
regional
and
global
economies.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
im-
posed
broad-ranging
economic
sanctions
on
Russia
and
certain
Russian
individuals,
banking
entities
and
corporations
as
a
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
also
imposed
economic
sanctions
on
Belarus
and
may
impose
sanctions
on
other
countries
that
support
Russia’s
military
invasion.
These
sanctions,
as
well
as
any
other
economic
consequences
related
to
the
invasion,
such
as
additional
sanctions,
boycotts
or
changes
in
consumer
or
purchaser
preferences
or
cyberattacks
on
governments,
companies
or
individuals,
may
further
decrease
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
Russian
securities
and
securities
of
issuers
in
other
countries
that
are
subject
to
economic
sanctions
related
to
the
invasion.

into
the

such
a

can

Semiannual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.

to
the

Organization
and
Significant
Accounting
Policies
Franklin
Fund
Allocator
Series (Trust)
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(1940
Act)
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company,
consisting
of
eighteen
separate
funds, three
of
which
are
included
in
this
report
(Funds)
and
applies
the
specialized
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
U.S.
Generally
Accepted
Accounting
Principles
(U.S.
GAAP).
The
Funds
invest
primarily
in
mutual
funds
(Underlying
Funds)
and
exchange
traded
funds
(ETFs),
including
affiliated
funds
managed
by
Franklin
Templeton
(FT
Underlying
Funds).
The
Funds
offer
five
classes
of
shares:
Class
A,
Class
C,
Class
R,
Class
R6
and
Advisor
Class. Class
C
shares
automatically
convert
to
Class
A
shares
on
a
monthly
basis,
after
they
have
been
held
for
8
years.
Each
class
of
shares
may
differ
by
its
initial
sales
load,
contingent
deferred
sale
charges,
voting
rights
on
matters
affecting
a
single
class,
its
exchange
privilege
and
fees
due
to
differing
arrangements
for
distribution
and
transfer
agent
fees.
The
accounting
policies
of
the
Underlying
Funds
are
outlined
in
their
respective
shareholder
reports.
A
copy
of
the
Underlying
Funds’
shareholder
reports,
in
which
each
Fund
invests,
is
available
on
the
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(SEC)
website
at
sec.gov.
The
Underlying
Funds’
shareholder
reports
are
not
covered
by
this
report.
The
following
summarizes
the Funds'
significant
accounting
policies.
a.
Financial
Instrument
Valuation
The Funds'
investments
in
financial
instruments
are
carried
at
fair
value
daily.
Fair
value
is
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
on
the
measurement
date.
The Funds calculate the
net
asset
value
(NAV)
per
share
each
business
day
as
of
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
or
the
regularly
scheduled
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE),
whichever
is
earlier.
Under
compliance
policies
and
procedures
approved
by
the
Trust's
Board
of
Trustees
(the
Board),
the
Funds' administrator
has
responsibility
for
oversight
of
valuation,
including
leading
the
cross-functional
Valuation
Committee
(VC).
The
Funds
may
utilize
independent
pricing
services,
quotations
from
securities
and
financial
instrument
dealers,
and
other
market
sources
to
determine
fair
value.
Investments
in
the
Underlying
Funds
are
valued
at
their
closing
NAV
each
trading
day.
ETFs
listed
on
an
exchange
or
on
the
NASDAQ
National
Market
System
are
valued
at
the
last
quoted
sale
price
or
the
official
closing
price
of
the
day,
respectively.
Investments
in
repurchase
agreements
are
valued
at
cost,
which
approximates
fair
value.
b.
Joint
Repurchase
Agreement
Certain
or
all
Funds
enter
into
a
joint
repurchase
agreement
whereby
their
uninvested
cash
balance
is
deposited
into
a
joint
cash
account
with
other
funds
managed
by
the
investment
manager
or
an
affiliate
of
the
investment
manager
and
is
used
to
invest
in
one
or
more
repurchase
agreements.
The
value
and
face
amount
of
the
joint
repurchase
agreement
are
allocated
to
the
funds
based
on
their
pro-rata
interest.
A
repurchase
agreement
is
accounted
for
as
a
loan
by
the
Fund
to
the
seller,
collateralized
by
securities
which
are
delivered
to
the
Funds'
custodian.
The
fair
value,
including
accrued
interest,
of
the
initial
collateralization
is
required
to
be
at
least
102%
of
the
dollar
amount
invested
by
the
funds,
with
the
value
of
the
underlying
securities
marked
to
market
daily
to
maintain
coverage
of
at
least
100%.
Repurchase
agreements
are
subject
to
the
terms
of
Master
Repurchase
Agreements
(MRAs)
with
approved
counterparties
(sellers).
The
MRAs
contain
various
provisions,
including
but
not
limited
to
events
of
default
and
maintenance
of
collateral
for
repurchase
agreements.
In
the
event
of
default
by
either
the
seller
or
the
Funds,
certain
MRAs
may
permit
the
non-defaulting
party
to
net
and
close-out
all
transactions,
if
any,
traded
under
such
agreements.
The
Funds
may
sell
securities
it
holds
as
collateral
and
apply
the
proceeds
towards
the
repurchase
price
and
any
other
amounts
owed
by
the
seller
to
the
Funds
in
the
event
of
default
by
the
seller.
This
could
involve
costs
or
delays
in
addition
to
a
loss
on
the
securities
if
their
value
falls
below
the
repurchase
price
owed
by
the
seller.
The
joint
repurchase
agreement
held
by
the
Funds
at
period
end,
as
indicated
in
the
Schedules
of
Investments,
had
been
entered
into
on
June
30,
2022.
c.
Income
Taxes
It
is each
Fund's
policy
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
the
Internal
Revenue
Code. Each
Fund
intends
to
distribute
to
shareholders
substantially
all
of
its

Semiannual
Report
taxable
income
and
net
realized
gains
to
relieve
it
from
federal
income
and
excise
taxes.
As
a
result,
no
provision
for
U.S.
federal
income
taxes
is
required.
Each
Fund
may
recognize
an
income
tax
liability
related
to
its
uncertain
tax
positions
under
U.S.
GAAP
when
the
uncertain
tax
position
has
a
less
than
50%
probability
that
it
will
be
sustained
upon
examination
by
the
tax
authorities
based
on
its
technical
merits.
As
of
June
30,
2022, each
Fund
has
determined
that
no
tax
liability
is
required
in
its
financial
statements
related
to
uncertain
tax
positions
for
any
open
tax
years
(or
expected
to
be
taken
in
future
tax
years).
Open
tax
years
are
those
that
remain
subject
to
examination
and
are
based
on
the
statute
of
limitations
in
each
jurisdiction
in
which
the
Fund
invests.
d.
Security
Transactions,
Investment
Income,
Expenses
and
Distributions
Security
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
trade
date.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
security
transactions
are
determined
on
a
specific
identification
basis.
Interest
income
and
estimated
expenses
are
accrued
daily.
Dividend
income
and
realized
capital
gain
distributions
by
Underlying
Funds
and
ETFs
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributions
to shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributable
earnings
are
determined
according
to
income
tax
regulations
(tax
basis)
and
may
differ
from
earnings
recorded
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP.
These
differences
may
be
permanent
or
temporary.
Permanent
differences
are
reclassified
among
capital
accounts
to
reflect
their
tax
character.
These
reclassifications
have
no
impact
on
net
assets
or
the
results
of
operations.
Temporary
differences
are
not
reclassified,
as
they
may
reverse
in
subsequent
periods.
Common
expenses
incurred
by
the
Trust
are
allocated
among
the
Funds
based
on
the
ratio
of
net
assets
of
each
Fund
to
the
combined
net
assets
of
the
Trust
or
based
on
the
ratio
of
number
of
shareholders
of
each
Fund
to
the
combined
number
of
shareholders
of
the
Trust.
Fund
specific
expenses
are
charged
directly
to
the
Fund
that
incurred
the
expense.
The
Funds
indirectly
bear
their
proportionate
share
of
expenses
from
the
Underlying
Funds
and
ETFs.
Since
the
Underlying
Funds
and
ETFs
have
varied
expense
levels
and
the
Funds
may
own
different
proportions
of
the
Underlying
Funds
and
ETFs
at
different
times,
the
amount
of
expenses
incurred
indirectly
by
the
Funds
will
vary.
Realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
and
net
investment
income,
excluding
class
specific
expenses,
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
of
shares
based
upon
the
relative
proportion
of
net
assets
of
each
class.
Differences
in
per
share
distributions
by
class
are
generally
due
to
differences
in
class
specific
expenses.
e.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
amounts
of
income
and
expenses
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
f.
Guarantees
and
Indemnifications
Under
the
Trust's
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and
trustees
are
indemnified
by
the
Trust
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Trust.
Additionally,
in
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Funds,
enters
into
contracts
with
service
providers
that
contain
general
indemnification
clauses.
The
Trust's
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
as
this
would
involve
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
the
Trust
that
have
not
yet
occurred.
Currently,
the
Trust
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.

of

(excluding

for

were

follows:
7.
Geopolitical
Risk
On
February
24,
2022,
Russia
engaged
in
military
actions
in
the
sovereign
territory
of
Ukraine.
The
current
political
and
financial
uncertainty
surrounding
Russia
and
Ukraine
may
increase
market
volatility
and
the
economic
risk
of
investing
in
securities
in
these
countries
and
may
also
cause
uncertainty
for
the
global
economy
and
broader
financial
markets.
The
ultimate
fallout
and
long-term
impact
from
these
events
are
not
known.
The
Funds
will
continue
to
assess
the
impact
on
valuations
and
liquidity
and
will
take
any
potential
actions
needed
in
accordance
with
procedures
approved
by
the
Board.
8. Novel
Coronavirus
Pandemic
The
global
outbreak
of
the
novel
coronavirus
disease,
known
as
COVID-19, has
caused
adverse
effects
on
many
companies,
sectors,
nations,
regions
and
the
markets
in
general, and
may
continue for
an unpredictable duration.
The
effects
of
this
pandemic
may
materially
impact
the
value
and
performance
of
the
Funds, their ability
to
buy
and
sell
fund
investments
at
appropriate
valuations
and their ability
to
achieve their investment
objectives.
9.
Credit
Facility
The
Funds,
together
with
other
U.S.
registered
and
foreign
investment
funds
(collectively,
Borrowers),
managed
by
Franklin
Templeton,
are
borrowers
in
a
joint
syndicated
senior
unsecured
credit
facility
totaling
$2.675
billion
(Global
Credit
Facility)
which
matures
on
February
3,
2023.
This
Global
Credit
Facility
provides
a
source
of
funds
to
the
Borrowers
for
temporary
and
emergency
purposes,
including
the
ability
to
meet
future
unanticipated

Fair
Value
Measurements
The Funds
follow
a
fair
value
hierarchy
that
distinguishes
between
market
data
obtained
from
independent
sources
(observable
inputs)
and
the Funds'
own
market
assumptions
(unobservable
inputs).
These
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
value
of
the Funds' financial
instruments
and
are
summarized
in
the
following
fair
value
hierarchy:
Level
1
–
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
financial
instruments
Level
2
–
other
significant
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar
financial
instruments,
interest
rates,
prepayment
speed,
credit
risk,
etc.)
Level
3
–
significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
the Funds'
own
assumptions
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments)
The
input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
financial
instruments
at
that
level.
A
summary
of
inputs
used
as
of
June
30,
2022,
in
valuing
the
Funds'
assets
carried
at
fair
value,
is
as

(each

At
an
in-person
meeting
held
on
February
28,
2022
(Meeting),
the
Board
of
Trustees
(Board)
of
Franklin
Fund
Allocator
Series
(Trust),
including
a
majority
of
the
trustees
who
are
not
“interested
persons”
as
defined
in
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(Independent
Trustees),
reviewed
and
approved
the
continuance
of
the
investment
management
agreement
between
Franklin
Advisers,
Inc.
(Manager)
and
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
each
Fund
(each
a
Management
Agreement)
for
an
additional
one-year
period.
The
Independent
Trustees
received
advice
from
and
met
separately
with
Independent
Trustee
counsel
in
considering
whether
to
approve
the
continuation
of
each
Management
Agreement.
Although
the
Management
Agreements
for
the
Funds
were
considered
at
the
same
Board
meeting,
the
Board
considered
the
information
provided
to
it
about
the
Funds
together
and
with
respect
to
each
Fund
separately
as
the
Board
deemed
appropriate.
In
considering
the
continuation
of
each
Management
Agreement,
the
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
provided
by
the
Manager
at
the
Meeting
and
throughout
the
year
at
meetings
of
the
Board
and
its
committees.
The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
information
provided
in
response
to
a
detailed
set
of
requests
for
information
submitted
to
the
Manager
by
Independent
Trustee
counsel
on
behalf
of
the
Independent
Trustees
in
connection
with
the
annual
contract
renewal
process.
In
addition,
prior
to
the
Meeting,
the
Independent
Trustees
held
a
virtual
contract
renewal
meeting
at
which
the
Independent
Trustees
first
conferred
amongst
themselves
and
Independent
Trustee
counsel
about
contract
renewal
matters;
and
then
met
with
management
to
request
additional
information
that
the
Independent
Trustees
reviewed
and
considered
at
the
Meeting.
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
all
of
the
factors
it
deemed
relevant
in
approving
the
continuance
of
each
Management
Agreement,
including,
but
not
limited
to:
(i)
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided
by
the
Manager;
(ii)
the
investment
performance
of
each
Fund;
(iii)
the
costs
of
the
services
provided
and
profits
realized
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
from
the
relationship
with
each
Fund;
(iv)
the
extent
to
which
economies
of
scale
are
realized
as
each
Fund
grows;
and
(v)
whether
fee
levels
reflect
these
economies
of
scale
for
the
benefit
of
Fund
investors.
In
approving
the
continuance
of
each
Management
Agreement,
the
Board,
including
a
majority
of
the
Independent
Trustees,
determined
that
the
terms
of
the
Management
Agreement
are
fair
and
reasonable
and
that
the
continuance
of
such
Management
Agreement
is
in
the
best
interests
of
the
applicable
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
While
attention
was
given
to
all
information
furnished,
the
following
discusses
some
primary
factors
relevant
to
the
Board’s
determination.
Nature,
Extent
and
Quality
of
Services
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
regarding
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
investment
management
services
provided
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
to
the
Funds
and
their
shareholders.
This
information
included,
among
other
things,
the
qualifications,
background
and
experience
of
the
senior
management
and
investment
personnel
of
the
Manager,
as
well
as
information
on
succession
planning
where
appropriate;
the
structure
of
investment
personnel
compensation;
oversight
of
third-
party
service
providers;
investment
performance
reports
and
related
financial
information
for
each
Fund;
reports
on
expenses
and
shareholder
services;
legal
and
compliance
matters;
risk
controls;
pricing
and
other
services
provided
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates;
and
management
fees
charged
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
to
US
funds
and
other
accounts,
including
management’s
explanation
of
differences
among
accounts
where
relevant.
The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
an
annual
report
on
payments
made
by
Franklin
Templeton
(FT)
or
the
Funds
to
financial
intermediaries,
as
well
as
a
memorandum
relating
to
third-
party
servicing
arrangements,
which
included
discussion
of
the
changing
distribution
landscape
for
the
Funds.
The
Board
acknowledged
the
ongoing
integration
of
the
Legg
Mason
family
of
funds
into
the
FT
family
of
funds
and
developing
strategies
to
address
areas
of
heightened
concern
in
the
mutual
fund
industry,
including
various
regulatory
initiatives
and
recent
geopolitical
concerns.
The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
the
benefits
provided
to
Fund
shareholders
of
investing
in
a
fund
that
is
part
of
the
FT
family
of
funds.
The
Board
noted
the
financial
position
of
Franklin
Resources,
Inc.
(FRI),
the
Manager’s
parent,
and
its
commitment
to
the
mutual
fund
business
as
evidenced
by
its
reassessment
of
the

offerings
in
response
to
the
market
environment
and
project
initiatives
and
capital
investments
relating
to
the
services
provided
to
the
Funds
by
the
FT
organization.
The
Board
specifically
noted
FT’s
commitment
to
being
a
global
leader
in
stewardship
and
sustainability
and
the
recent
addition
of
a
senior
executive
focused
on
environmental,
social
and
governance
and
climate
control
initiatives.
Following
consideration
of
such
information,
the
Board
was
satisfied
with
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
to
the
Funds
and
their
shareholders.
Fund
Performance
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
the
performance
results
of
each
Fund
over
various
time
periods
ended
November
30,
2021.
The
Board
considered
the
performance
returns
for
each
Fund
in
comparison
to
the
performance
returns
of
mutual
funds
deemed
comparable
to
the
Fund
included
in
a
universe
(Performance
Universe)
selected
by
Broadridge
Financial
Solutions,
Inc.
(Broadridge),
an
independent
provider
of
investment
company
data.
The
Board
received
a
description
of
the
methodology
used
by
Broadridge
to
select
the
mutual
funds
included
in
a
Performance
Universe.
The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
Fund
performance
reports
provided
and
discussions
that
occurred
with
portfolio
managers
at
Board
meetings
throughout
the
year.
A
summary
of
each
Fund’s
performance
results
is
below.
The
Performance
Universe
for
the
Franklin
Conservative
Allocation
Fund
included
the
Fund
and
all
retail
and
institutional
mixed-asset
target
allocation
conservative
funds.
The
Performance
Universe
for
the
Franklin
Moderate
Allocation
Fund
included
the
Fund
and
all
retail
and
institutional
mixed-asset
target
allocation
moderate
funds.
The
Performance
Universe
for
the
Franklin
Growth
Allocation
Fund
included
the
Fund
and
all
retail
and
institutional
mixed-
asset
target
allocation
growth
funds.
The
Board
noted
that
each
Fund’s
annualized
total
return
for
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
was
above
the
median
of
its
Performance
Universe,
but
for
the
10-year
period
was
below
the
median
of
its
Performance
Universe.
The
Board
concluded
that
each
Fund’s
performance
was
satisfactory.
Comparative
Fees
and
Expenses
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
regarding
each
Fund’s
actual
total
expense
ratio
and
its
various
components,
including,
as
applicable,
management
fees;
transfer
agent
expenses;
underlying
fund
expenses;
Rule
12b-1
and
non-Rule
12b-1
service
fees;
and
other
non-
management
fees.
The
Board
also
noted
the
quarterly
and
annual
reports
it
receives
on
all
marketing
support
payments
made
by
FT
to
financial
intermediaries.
The
Board
considered
the
actual
total
expense
ratio
and,
separately,
the
contractual
management
fee
rate,
without
the
effect
of
fee
waivers,
if
any
(Management
Rate)
of
each
Fund
in
comparison
to
the
median
expense
ratio
and
median
Management
Rate,
respectively,
of
other
mutual
funds
deemed
comparable
to
and
with
a
similar
expense
structure
to
the
Fund
selected
by
Broadridge
(Expense
Group).
Broadridge
fee
and
expense
data
is
based
upon
information
taken
from
each
fund’s
most
recent
annual
or
semi-annual
report,
which
reflects
historical
asset
levels
that
may
be
quite
different
from
those
currently
existing,
particularly
in
a
period
of
market
volatility.
While
recognizing
such
inherent
limitation
and
the
fact
that
expense
ratios
and
Management
Rates
generally
increase
as
assets
decline
and
decrease
as
assets
grow,
the
Board
believed
the
independent
analysis
conducted
by
Broadridge
to
be
an
appropriate
measure
of
comparative
fees
and
expenses.
The
Broadridge
Management
Rate
includes
administrative
charges,
and
the
actual
total
expense
ratio,
for
comparative
consistency,
was
shown
for
Class
A
shares
for
each
Fund
and
for
Class
A
shares
and
Investor
Class
shares
for
the
other
funds
in
each
Fund’s
respective
Expense
Group.
The
Board
received
a
description
of
the
methodology
used
by
Broadridge
to
select
the
mutual
funds
included
in
an
Expense
Group.
The
Expense
Group
for
the
Franklin
Conservative
Allocation
Fund
included
the
Fund
and
14
other
mixed-asset
target
allocation
conservative
funds.
The
Expense
Group
for
the
Franklin
Moderate
Allocation
Fund
included
the
Fund
and
ten
other
mixed-asset
target
allocation
moderate
funds.
The
Expense
Group
for
the
Franklin
Growth
Allocation
Fund
included
the
Fund
and
nine
other
mixed-asset
target
allocation
growth
funds.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Management
Rates
and
the
actual
total
expense
ratios
for
the
Funds
were
above
the
medians
of
their
respective
Expense
Groups.
The
Board
discussed
these
expenses
with
management
and
management
explained
that
the
Management
Rate
paid
by
each
Fund
is
solely
for
asset
allocation
services
as
the
Fund
invests
primarily
in
underlying
funds.
Management
further
explained
that
each
Fund’s
total
expenses
(including
underlying
fund
expenses)
were
in
the
first
quintile
(least
expensive)
of
the
Fund’s
respective
Expense
Group.
The
Board
noted
that
each
Fund’s
actual
total
expense
ratio
reflected
a
fee
waiver
from
management.
The
Board
concluded
that
the
Management
Rate
charged
to
each
Fund
is
reasonable.
Profitability
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
regarding
the
profits
realized
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
in
connection
with
the
operation
of
each
Fund.
In
this
respect,
the
Board
considered
the
Fund
profitability
analysis
provided
Franklin
Fund
Allocator
Series
Shareholder
Information
61
franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
by
the
Manager
that
addresses
the
overall
profitability
of
FT’s
US
fund
business,
as
well
as
its
profits
in
providing
investment
management
and
other
services
to
each
of
the
individual
funds
during
the
12-month
period
ended
September
30,
2021,
being
the
most
recent
fiscal
year-
end
for
FRI.
The
Board
noted
that
although
management
continually
makes
refinements
to
its
methodologies
used
in
calculating
profitability
in
response
to
organizational
and
product-related
changes,
the
overall
methodology
has
remained
consistent
with
that
used
in
the
Funds’
profitability
report
presentations
from
prior
years.
The
Board
also
noted
that
PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP,
auditor
to
FRI
and
certain
FT
funds,
has
been
engaged
by
the
Manager
to
periodically
review
and
assess
the
allocation
methodologies
to
be
used
solely
by
the
Funds’
Board
with
respect
to
the
profitability
analysis.
The
Board
noted
management’s
belief
that
costs
incurred
in
establishing
the
infrastructure
necessary
for
the
type
of
mutual
fund
operations
conducted
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
may
not
be
fully
reflected
in
the
expenses
allocated
to
each
Fund
in
determining
its
profitability,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
the
level
of
profits,
to
a
certain
extent,
reflected
operational
cost
savings
and
efficiencies
initiated
by
management.
As
part
of
this
evaluation,
the
Board
considered
management’s
outsourcing
of
certain
operations,
which
effort
has
required
considerable
up-front
expenditures
by
the
Manager
but,
over
the
long
run
is
expected
to
result
in
greater
efficiencies.
The
Board
also
noted
management’s
expenditures
in
improving
shareholder
services
provided
to
the
Funds,
as
well
as
the
need
to
implement
systems
and
meet
additional
regulatory
and
compliance
requirements
resulting
from
recent
US
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
other
regulatory
requirements.
The
Board
also
considered
the
extent
to
which
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
might
derive
ancillary
benefits
from
fund
operations,
including
revenues
generated
from
transfer
agent
services,
potential
benefits
resulting
from
personnel
and
systems
enhancements
necessitated
by
fund
growth,
as
well
as
increased
leverage
with
service
providers
and
counterparties.
Based
upon
its
consideration
of
all
these
factors,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
level
of
profits
realized
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
from
providing
services
to
each
Fund
was
not
excessive
in
view
of
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
to
each
Fund.
Economies
of
Scale
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
the
extent
to
which
the
Manager
may
realize
economies
of
scale,
if
any,
as
each
Fund
grows
larger
and
whether
each
Fund’s
management
fee
structure
reflects
any
economies
of
scale
for
the
benefit
of
shareholders.
The
Board
considered
the
Manager’s
view
that
any
analyses
of
potential
economies
of
scale
in
managing
a
particular
fund
are
inherently
limited
in
light
of
the
joint
and
common
costs
and
investments
the
Manager
incurs
across
the
FT
family
of
funds
as
a
whole.
The
Board
noted
that,
due
to
the
use
of
the
Management
Rate
for
allocation
services,
the
Funds
would
not
likely
experience
economies
of
scale.
Conclusion
Based
on
its
review,
consideration
and
evaluation
of
all
factors
it
believed
relevant,
including
the
above-described
factors
and
conclusions,
the
Board
unanimously
approved
the
continuation
of
each
Management
Agreement
for
an
additional
one-year
period.
Liquidity
Risk
Management
Program
Each
Fund
has
adopted
and
implemented
a
written
Liquidity
Risk
Management
Program
(the
“LRMP”)
as
required
by
Rule
22e-4
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
“Liquidity
Rule”).
The
LRMP
is
designed
to
assess
and
manage
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk,
which
is
defined
as
the
risk
that
the
Fund
could
not
meet
requests
to
redeem
shares
issued
by
the
Fund
without
significant
dilution
of
remaining
investors’
interests
in
the
Fund.
In
accordance
with
the
Liquidity
Rule,
the
LRMP
includes
policies
and
procedures
that
provide
for:
(1)
assessment,
management,
and
review
(no
less
frequently
than
annually)
of
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk;
(2)
classification
of
each
Fund’s
portfolio
holdings
into
one
of
four
liquidity
categories
(Highly
Liquid,
Moderately
Liquid,
Less
Liquid,
and
Illiquid);
(3)
for
Funds
that
do
not
primarily
hold
assets
that
are
Highly
Liquid,
establishing
and
maintaining
a
minimum
percentage
of
the
Fund’s
net
assets
in
Highly
Liquid
investments
(called
a
“Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum”
or
“HLIM”);
and
(4)
prohibiting
the
Fund’s
acquisition
of
Illiquid
investments
that
would
result
in
the
Fund
holding
more
than
15%
of
its
net
assets
in
Illiquid
assets.
The
LRMP
also
requires
reporting
to
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
(on
a
non-public
basis)
and
to
the
Board
if
the
Fund’s
holdings
of
Illiquid
assets
exceed
15%
of
the
Fund’s
net
assets.
Funds
with
HLIMs
must
have
procedures
for
addressing
HLIM
shortfalls,
including
reporting
to
the
Board
and,
with
respect
to
HLIM
shortfalls
lasting
more
than
seven
consecutive
calendar
days,
reporting
to
the
SEC
(on
a
non-public
basis).
The
Director
of
Liquidity
Risk
within
the
Investment
Risk
Management
Group
(the
“IRMG”)
is
the
appointed
Administrator
of
the
LRMP.
The
IRMG
maintains
the
Investment
Liquidity
Committee
(the
“ILC”)
to
provide
oversight
and
administration
of
policies
and
procedures
governing
liquidity
risk
management
for
Franklin
Templeton
and
Legg
Mason
products
and
portfolios.
The
ILC

Templeton’s
Risk,
Trading,
Global
Compliance,
Legal,
Investment
Compliance,
Investment
Operations,
Valuation
Committee,
Product
Management
and
Global
Product
Strategy.
In
assessing
and
managing
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk,
the
ILC
considers,
as
relevant,
a
variety
of
factors,
including
the
Fund’s
investment
strategy
and
the
liquidity
of
its
portfolio
investments
during
both
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions;
its
short
and
long-term
cash
flow
projections;
and
its
cash
holdings
and
access
to
other
funding
sources
including
the
Funds’
interfund
lending
facility
and
line
of
credit.
Classification
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
holdings
in
the
four
liquidity
categories
is
based
on
the
number
of
days
it
is
reasonably
expected
to
take
to
convert
the
investment
to
cash
(for
Highly
Liquid
and
Moderately
Liquid
holdings)
or
sell
or
dispose
of
the
investment
(for
Less
Liquid
and
Illiquid
investments),
in
current
market
conditions
without
significantly
changing
the
investment’s
market
value.
Each
Fund
primarily
holds
liquid
assets
that
are
defined
under
the
Liquidity
Rule
as
"Highly
Liquid
Investments,"
and
therefore
is
not
required
to
establish
an
HLIM.
Highly
Liquid
Investments
are
defined
as
cash
and
any
investment
reasonably
expected
to
be
convertible
to
cash
in
current
market
conditions
in
three
business
days
or
less
without
the
conversion
to
cash
significantly
changing
the
market
value
of
the
investment.
At
meetings
of
the
Funds’
Board
of
Trustees
held
in
May
2022,
the
Program
Administrator
provided
a
written
report
to
the
Board
addressing
the
adequacy
and
effectiveness
of
the
program
for
the
year
ended
December
31,
2021.
The
Program
Administrator
report
concluded
that
(i.)
the
LRMP,
as
adopted
and
implemented,
remains
reasonably
designed
to
assess
and
manage
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk;
(ii.)
the
LRMP,
including
the
Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum
(“HLIM”)
where
applicable,
was
implemented
and
operated
effectively
to
achieve
the
goal
of
assessing
and
managing
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk;
and
(iii.)
each
Fund
was
able
to
meet
requests
for
redemption
without
significant
dilution
of
remaining
investors’
interests
in
the
Fund.

Shareholder
Letter
Dear
Shareholder:
During
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2022,
the
U.S.
economy
showed
progress
as
it
continued
to
recover
from
the
COVID-19
pandemic
amid
declining
unemployment,
rising
wages
and
increased
consumer
expenditures.
The
U.S.
economy
contracted
in
2022’s
first
quarter
given
a
record
trade
deficit
and
a
decline
in
inventory
investment,
while
consumer
spending
expanded
more
slowly,
helped
by
the
reopening
of
businesses,
widespread
vaccinations
and
federal
assistance
programs.
Inflation
increased
during
the
six-month
period,
influenced
by
pandemic-related
supply
chain
issues,
higher
energy
prices,
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine
and
broader
price
pressures.
During
the
first
half
of
this
period,
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
continued
some
quantitative
easing
measures
to
bolster
credit
markets
and
encourage
economic
activity.
However,
to
support
its
goals
to
maximize
employment
and
return
long-
term
annual
inflation
to
2%,
the
Federal
Reserve
continued
reversing
its
quantitative
easing
measures,
increasing
its
monthly
asset
purchase
tapering
and
ending
purchases
by
March
2022.
The
Federal
Reserve
also
raised
the
federal
funds
rate
by
0.25%
in
March,
0.50%
in
May
and
0.75%
in
June,
for
a
total
of
1.50%,
increasing
the
rate
from
0.25%
to
1.75%
during
the
period.
Additionally,
the
Federal
Reserve
stated
its
intention
to
continue
reducing
its
U.S.
Treasury,
government
agency
debt
and
mortgage-backed
securities
holdings,
and
reiterated
its
anticipation
of
ongoing
increases
to
combat
inflation.
Resilient
consumer
demand
together
with
persistent
supply-
chain
disruptions
contributed
to
higher
inflation
in
numerous
countries,
and
many
central
banks
tightened
monetary
policy.
China
imposed
new
lockdowns
to
mitigate
the
spread
of
COVID-19,
which
pressured
Asian
and
global
emerging
market
stocks.
International
sanctions
on
Russia
in
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine
hindered
companies
doing
business
with
Russia
and
disrupted
global
economic
activity
and
commodity
markets.
In
this
environment,
the
prices
of
U.S.
stocks,
as
measured
by
the
Standard
&
Poor’s
®
500
Index
(S&P
500
®
),
returned
-20.58%
(the
index
decreasing
from
4,766.18
to
3,785.38).
1,3
The
prices
of
stocks
in
global
developed
markets,
as
measured
by
the
MSCI
World
Index,
returned
-21.21%
(the
index
decreasing
from
3,231.727
to
2,546.185).
2,3
Investment-grade
bonds,
as
measured
by
the
Bloomberg
U.S.
Aggregate
Bond
Index
(Bloomberg
Index),
posted
a
-10.35%
total
return
(an
index
decrease
from
2,355.14
to
2,111.40),
which
includes
reinvestment
of
income
and
distributions,
reflecting
the
rise
in
interest
rates.
4
We
recognize
the
important
role
of
financial
professionals
in
today’s
markets
and
encourage
investors
to
continue
to
seek
their
advice.
Amid
changing
markets
and
economic
conditions,
we
are
confident
investors
with
a
well-diversified
portfolio
and
a
patient,
long-term
outlook
should
be
well
positioned
for
the
years
ahead.
In
addition,
Franklin
Corefolio

Fund’s
semiannual
report
includes
more
detail
about
investment
decisions
during
the
period.
All
securities

value,
as
do

thank

The
combination
of
resilient
consumer
demand
and
persistent
supply-chain
disruptions
contributed
to
higher
inflation
in
many
countries.
This
inflationary
pressure
led
many
of
the
world’s
central
banks
to
adopt
less
accommodative
stances
regarding
monetary
policy.
The
Chinese
government’s
imposition
of
new
lockdowns
to
quell
the
spread
of
the
Omicron
variant
of
COVID-19
pressured
Asian
and
global
emerging
market
stocks.
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine
also
increased
investor
uncertainty,
as
international
sanctions
on
Russia
constrained
companies
that
do
business
with
Russia
and
disrupted
global
economic
activity
and
commodity
markets.
In
the
U.S.,
gross
domestic
product
(GDP)
growth
turned
negative
in
the
first
quarter
of
2022
as
high
inflation,
supply
constraints
and
record
trade
deficits
weighed
on
the
economy.
Rising
prices
precipitated
a
notable
decline
in
consumer
confidence,
despite
high
spending
levels.
In
an
effort
to
control
inflation,
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
raised
the
federal
funds
target
rate
in
March
2022
for
the
first
time
since
2018.
The
Fed
raised
the
federal
funds
rate
again
at
its
subsequent
two
meetings,
accelerating
the
rate
of
increase
each
time
to
end
the
period
at
a
range
of
1.50%–1.75%.
The
Fed
noted
in
its
June
meeting
that
inflation
remained
elevated,
as
job
growth
was
robust
and
the
unemployment
rate
remained
low.
Furthermore,
the
Fed
said
it
would
continue
to
reduce
its
bond
holdings,
and
anticipated
instituting
further
interest
rate
increases
at
future
meetings.
Economic
growth
in
the
eurozone
maintained
a
slow
rate
in
the
first
quarter
of
2022
as
the
war
in
Ukraine
disrupted
supply
chains,
sent
commodity
prices
higher,
and
weakened
the
economic
outlook.
The
war
in
Ukraine
contributed
to
record
high
inflation
across
the
eurozone
as
commodity
and
oil
prices
soared.
The
European
Central
Bank
indicated
it
will
raise
interest
rates
in
July,
the
first
increase
in
more
than
a
decade,
to
fight
growing
inflation.
In
this
environment,
European
developed
market
equities,
as
measured
by
the
MSCI
Europe
Index-NR,
posted
a
-20.79%
total
return
for
the
six
months
under
review.

Following
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine,
climbing
food
and
energy
prices
kindled
inflationary
pressures
and
raised
concerns
over
the
possibility
of
government
debt
defaults
in
some
countries.
Meanwhile,
some
countries,
particularly
in
Latin

as
well

have
benefited
from
the
rising
commodity

Investment
Strategy
The
Fund
invests
its
assets
allocated
approximately
25%
each
in
Franklin
Growth
Fund,
Franklin
Growth
Opportunities
Fund,
Franklin
Mutual
Shares
Fund
and
Templeton
Growth
Fund.
These
underlying
funds,
in
turn,
invest
primarily
in
U.S.
and
foreign
equity
securities
and,
to
a
lesser
extent,
fixed
income
and
money
market
securities.
As
market
conditions
affect
the
underlying
funds,
we
rebalance
the
Fund’s
allocations
to
maintain
the
predetermined
weightings
in
each
underlying
fund
whenever
the
actual
allocations
exceed
plus
or
minus
3%
of
the
fixed
allocation
percentages.
Portfolio
Review
The
Fund’s
performance
can
be
attributed
largely
to
maintaining
a
relatively
static
allocation
among
domestic
and
foreign
equities,
fixed
income
securities,
and
short-
term
investments
and
other
net
assets,
and
to
the
actual
performance
of
the
selected
underlying
funds.
During
the
period
under
review,
Franklin
Growth
Fund
–
Class
R6
and
Franklin
Growth
Opportunities
Fund
–
Class
R6
underperformed
the
S&P

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
possible
loss
of
principal.
Because
the
Fund
invests
in
underlying
funds
that
may
engage
in
a
variety
of
investment
strategies
involving
certain
risks,
this
fund
of
funds
may
be
subject
to
those
same
risks.
Stock
prices
fluctuate,
sometimes
rapidly
and
dramatically,
due
to
factors
affecting
individual
companies,
particular
industries
or
sectors,
or
general
market
conditions.
Growth
stock
prices
reflect
projections
of
future
earnings
or
revenues,
and
can
therefore
fall
dramatically
if
the
company
fails
to
meet
those
projections.
Value
securities
may
not
increase
in
price
as
anticipated
or
may
decline
further
in
value.
Foreign
investing
carries
additional
risks
such
as
currency
and
market
volatility,
and
political
or
social
instability;
risks
which
are
height-
ened
in
developing
countries.
The
Fund
includes
investments
in
specialized
industry
sectors
such
as
the
technology
sector,
which
has
been
among
the
most
volatile
in
the
market.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
diseases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
The
Fund’s
prospectus
also
includes
a
description
of
the
main
investment
risks.
Russia’s
military
invasion
of
Ukraine
in
February
2022,
the
resulting
responses
by
the
United
States
and
other
countries,
and
the
potential
for
wider
conflict
could
increase
volatility
and
uncertainty
in
the
financial
markets
and
adversely
affect
regional
and
global
economies.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
im-
posed
broad-ranging
economic
sanctions
on
Russia
and
certain
Russian
individuals,
banking
entities
and
corporations
as
a
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
also
imposed
economic
sanctions
on
Belarus
and
may
impose
sanctions
on
other
countries
that
support
Russia’s
military
invasion.
These
sanctions,
as
well
as
any
other
economic
consequences
related
to
the
invasion,
such
as
additional
sanctions,
boycotts
or
changes
in
consumer
or
purchaser
preferences
or
cyberattacks
on
governments,
companies
or
individuals,
may
further
decrease
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
Russian
securities
and
securities
of
issuers
in
other
countries
that
are
subject
to
economic
sanctions
related
to
the
invasion.

Semiannual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.

Semiannual
Report
1.
Organization
and
Significant
Accounting
Policies
Franklin
Fund
Allocator
Series (Trust)
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(1940
Act)
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company,
consisting
of
eighteen separate
funds
and
applies
the
specialized
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
U.S.
Generally
Accepted
Accounting
Principles
(U.S.
GAAP).
Franklin
Corefolio
Allocation
Fund
(Fund)
is
included
in
this
report.
The
Fund
invests
in
affiliated
mutual
funds
managed
by
Franklin
Templeton
(Underlying
Funds).
The
Fund
offers
five
classes
of
shares:
Class
A,
Class
C,
Class
R,
Class
R6
and
Advisor
Class.
Class
C
automatically
convert
to
Class
A
shares
on
a
monthly
basis,
after
they
have
been
held
for
8
years.
Each
class
of
shares
may
differ
by
its
initial
sales
load,
contingent
deferred
sales
charges,
voting
rights
on
matters
affecting
a
single
class,
its
exchange
privilege
and
fees
due
to
differing
arrangements
for
distribution
and
transfer
agent
fees.
The
accounting
policies
of
the
Underlying
Funds
are
outlined
in
their
respective
shareholder
reports.
A
copy
of
the
Underlying
Funds’
shareholder
reports
is
available
on
the
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(SEC)
website
at
sec.gov.
The
Underlying
Funds’
shareholder
reports
are
not
covered
by
this
report.
The
following
summarizes
the Fund
’
s
significant
accounting
policies
.
a.
Financial
Instrument
Valuation
The
Fund's
investments
in
financial
instruments
are
carried
at
fair
value
daily.
Fair
value
is
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
on
the
measurement
date.
The
Fund
calculates
the
net
asset
value
(NAV)
per
share
each business
day as
of
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
or
the
regularly
scheduled
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE),
whichever
is
earlier.
Under
compliance
policies
and
procedures
approved
by
the
Trust's
Board
of
Trustees
(the
Board),
the
Fund’s
administrator
has
responsibility
for
oversight
of
valuation,
including
leading
the
cross-functional
Valuation
Committee
(VC).
The
Fund
may
utilize
independent
pricing
services,
quotations
from
securities
and
financial
instrument
dealers,
and
other
market
sources
to
determine
fair
value.
Investments
in
open-end mutual
funds
are
valued
at
the
closing
NAV.
The
Fund
has
procedures
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments
for
which
market
prices
are
not
reliable
or
readily
available.
Under
these
procedures,
the
Fund
primarily
employs
a
market-based
approach
which
may
use
related
or
comparable
assets
or
liabilities,
recent
transactions,
market
multiples,
book
values,
and
other
relevant
information
for
the
investment
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
the
investment.
An
income-based
valuation
approach
may
also
be
used
in
which
the
anticipated
future
cash
flows
of
the
investment
are
discounted
to
calculate
fair
value.
Discounts
may
also
be
applied
due
to
the
nature
or
duration
of
any
restrictions
on
the
disposition
of
the
investments.
Due
to
the
inherent
uncertainty
of
valuations
of
such
investments,
the
fair
values
may
differ
significantly
from
the
values
that
would
have
been
used
had
an
active
market
existed.
b.
Income
Taxes
It
is
the
Fund's
policy
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
the
Internal
Revenue
Code.
The
Fund
intends
to
distribute
to
shareholders
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
and
net
realized
gains
to
relieve
it
from
federal
income
and
excise
taxes.
As
a
result,
no
provision
for
U.S.
federal
income
taxes
is
required.
The
Fund
may
recognize
an
income
tax
liability
related
to
its
uncertain
tax
positions
under
U.S.
GAAP
when
the
uncertain
tax
position
has
a
less
than
50%
probability
that
it
will
be
sustained
upon
examination
by
the
tax
authorities
based
on
its
technical
merits.
As
of
June
30,
2022,
the
Fund
has
determined
that
no
tax
liability
is
required
in
its
financial
statements
related
to
uncertain
tax
positions
for
any
open
tax
years
(or
expected
to
be
taken
in
future
tax
years).
Open
tax
years
are
those
that
remain
subject
to
examination
and
are
based
on
the
statute
of
limitations
in
each
jurisdiction
in
which
the
Fund
invests.
c.
Security
Transactions,
Investment
Income,
Expenses
and
Distributions
Security
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
trade
date.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
security
transactions
are
determined
on
a
specific
identification
basis.
Estimated
expenses
are
accrued
daily.
Dividend
income
and
capital
gain
distributions
by
Underlying
Funds
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributions
to
shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributable
earnings
are
determined
according
to
income
tax
regulations
(tax
basis)
and
may
differ
from
earnings
recorded
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP.
These
differences
may
be
permanent
or

Series
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(unaudited)
19
franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
Franklin
Corefolio
Allocation
Fund
(continued)
temporary.
Permanent
differences
are
reclassified
among
capital
accounts
to
reflect
their
tax
character.
These
reclassifications
have
no
impact
on
net
assets
or
the
results
of
operations.
Temporary
differences
are
not
reclassified,
as
they
may
reverse
in
subsequent
periods.
Common
expenses
incurred
by
the
Trust
are
allocated
among
the
Funds
based
on
the
ratio
of
net
assets
of
each
Fund
to
the
combined
net
assets
of
the
Trust
or
based
on
the
ratio
of
number
of
shareholders
of
each
Fund
to
the
combined
number
of
shareholders
of
the
Trust.
Fund
specific
expenses
are
charged
directly
to
the
Fund
that
incurred
the
expense.
The
Fund
indirectly
bears
its
proportionate
share
of
expenses
from
the
Underlying
Funds.
Since
the
Underlying
Funds
have
varied
expense
levels
and
the
Fund
may
own
different
proportions
of
the
Underlying
Funds
at
different
times,
the
amount
of
expenses
incurred
indirectly
by
the
Fund
will
vary.
Realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
and
net
investment
income,
excluding
class
specific
expenses,
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
of
shares
based
upon
the
relative
proportion
of
net
assets
of
each
class.
Differences
in
per
share
distributions
by
class
are
generally
due
to
differences
in
class
specific
expenses.
d.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
amounts
of
income
and
expenses
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
e.
Guarantees
and
Indemnifications
Under
the
Trust’s
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and
trustees
are
indemnified
by
the
Trust
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Trust.
Additionally,
in
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Funds,
enters
into
contracts
with
service
providers
that
contain
general
indemnification
clauses.
The
Trust's
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
as
this
would
involve
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
the
Trust
that
have
not
yet
occurred.
Currently,
the
Trust
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.

for
its
performance
of
shareholder
servicing
obligations.
The

are
based
on
an
annualized
asset

of
0.02%
plus
a

fee.
In
addition,
each

incurred
and,
except
for
Class
R6, reimburses
shareholder
servicing
fees
paid
to
third
parties.

daily
based
upon
their
relative
proportion
of
such
classes'
aggregate
net
assets.

agent
fees
specific
to
that

the
Fund

Investments
in
Underlying
Funds
The Fund
invests in Underlying
Funds
which
are
managed
by
Advisers,
an
affiliate
of
FT
Services
or
by
an
affiliate
of
Advisers.
As
defined
in
the
1940
Act,
an
investment
is
deemed
to
be
a
“Controlled
Affiliate”
of
a
fund
when
a
fund
owns,
either
directly
or
indirectly,
25%
or
more
of
the
Underlying
Fund’s
outstanding
shares
or
has
the
power
to
exercise
control
over
management
or
policies
of
such
Underlying
Fund.
The
Fund
does
not
invest
in
Underlying
Funds
for
the
purpose
of
exercising
a
controlling
influence
over
the
management
or
policies.
Administrative

paid
by
the
Fund
are
waived
on
assets
invested
in
Institutional
Fiduciary

Geopolitical
Risk
On
February
24,
2022,
Russia
engaged
in
military
actions
in
the
sovereign
territory
of
Ukraine.
The
current
political
and
financial
uncertainty
surrounding
Russia
and
Ukraine
may
increase
market
volatility
and
the
economic
risk
of
investing
in
securities
in
these
countries
and
may
also
cause
uncertainty
for
the
global
economy
and
broader
financial
markets.
The
ultimate
fallout
and
long-term
impact
from
these
events
are
not
known.
The
Fund
will
continue
to
assess
the
impact
on
valuations
and
liquidity
and
will
take
any
potential
actions
needed
in
accordance
with
procedures
approved
by
the
Board.

Novel
Coronavirus
Pandemic
The
global
outbreak
of
the
novel
coronavirus
disease,
known
as
COVID-19, has
caused
adverse
effects
on
many
companies,
sectors,
nations,
regions
and
the
markets
in
general, and
may
continue for
an unpredictable duration.
The
effects
of
this
pandemic
may
materially
impact
the
value
and
performance
of
the Fund, its ability
to
buy
and
sell
fund
investments
at
appropriate
valuations
and its ability
to
achieve its investment
objectives.
8.
Credit
Facility
The
Fund,
together
with
other
U.S.
registered
and
foreign
investment
funds
(collectively,
Borrowers),
managed
by
Franklin
Templeton,
are
borrowers
in
a
joint
syndicated
senior
unsecured
credit
facility
totaling
$2.675
billion
(Global
Credit
Facility)
which
matures
on
February
3,
2023.
This
Global
Credit
Facility
provides
a
source
of
funds
to
the
Borrowers
for
temporary
and
emergency
purposes,
including
the
ability
to
meet
future
unanticipated
or
unusually
large
redemption
requests.
Under
the
terms
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
the
Fund
shall,
in
addition
to
interest
charged
on
any
borrowings
made
by
the
Fund
and
other
costs
incurred
by
the
Fund,
pay
its
share
of
fees
and
expenses
incurred
in
connection
with
the
implementation
and
maintenance
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
based
upon
its
relative
share
of
the
aggregate
net
assets
of
all
of
the
Borrowers,
including
an
annual
commitment
fee
of
0.15%
based
upon
the
unused
portion
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility.
These
fees
are
reflected
in
other
expenses
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
During
the
period
ended
June
30,
2022,
the Fund
did
not
use
the
Global
Credit
Facility.
9.
Fair
Value
Measurements
The Fund
follows
a
fair
value
hierarchy
that
distinguishes
between
market
data
obtained
from
independent
sources
(observable
inputs)
and
the Fund’s
own
market
assumptions
(unobservable
inputs).
These
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
value
of
the Fund’s financial
instruments
and
are
summarized
in
the
following
fair
value
hierarchy:
Level
1
–
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
financial
instruments
Level
2
–
other
significant
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar
financial
instruments,
interest
rates,
prepayment
speed,
credit
risk,
etc.)
Level
3
–
significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
the Fund’s
own
assumptions
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments)
The
input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
financial
instruments
at
that
level.
At
June
30,
2022,
all
of
the
Fund’s
investments
in
financial
instruments
carried
at
fair
value
were
valued
using
Level
1
inputs.
10.
Subsequent
Events
The
Fund
has
evaluated
subsequent
events
through
the
issuance
of
the
financial
statements
and
determined
that
no
events
have
occurred
that
require
disclosure.

Liquidity
Risk
Management
Program
Each
Fund
has
adopted
and
implemented
a
written
Liquidity
Risk
Management
Program
(the
“LRMP”)
as
required
by
Rule
22e-4
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
“Liquidity
Rule”).
The
LRMP
is
designed
to
assess
and
manage
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk,
which
is
defined
as
the
risk
that
the
Fund
could
not
meet
requests
to
redeem
shares
issued
by
the
Fund
without
significant
dilution
of
remaining
investors’
interests
in
the
Fund.
In
accordance
with
the
Liquidity
Rule,
the
LRMP
includes
policies
and
procedures
that
provide
for:
(1)
assessment,
management,
and
review
(no
less
frequently
than
annually)
of
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk;
(2)
classification
of
each
Fund’s
portfolio
holdings
into
one
of
four
liquidity
categories
(Highly
Liquid,
Moderately
Liquid,
Less
Liquid,
and
Illiquid);
(3)
for
Funds
that
do
not
primarily
hold
assets
that
are
Highly
Liquid,
establishing
and
maintaining
a
minimum
percentage
of
the
Fund’s
net
assets
in
Highly
Liquid
investments
(called
a
“Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum”
or
“HLIM”);
and
(4)
prohibiting
the
Fund’s
acquisition
of
Illiquid
investments
that
would
result
in
the
Fund
holding
more
than
15%
of
its
net
assets
in
Illiquid
assets.
The
LRMP
also
requires
reporting
to
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
(on
a
non-public
basis)
and
to
the
Board
if
the
Fund’s
holdings
of
Illiquid
assets
exceed
15%
of
the
Fund’s
net
assets.
Funds
with
HLIMs
must
have
procedures
for
addressing
HLIM
shortfalls,
including
reporting
to
the
Board
and,
with
respect
to
HLIM
shortfalls
lasting
more
than
seven
consecutive
calendar
days,
reporting
to
the
SEC
(on
a
non-public
basis).
The
Director
of
Liquidity
Risk
within
the
Investment
Risk
Management
Group
(the
“IRMG”)
is
the
appointed
Administrator
of
the
LRMP.
The
IRMG
maintains
the
Investment
Liquidity
Committee
(the
“ILC”)
to
provide
oversight
and
administration
of
policies
and
procedures
governing
liquidity
risk
management
for
Franklin

and
Legg

products
and

The

risk,
the
ILC
considers,
as
relevant,
a
variety
of
factors,
including
the
Fund’s
investment
strategy
and
the
liquidity
of
its
portfolio
investments
during
both
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions;
its
short
and
long-term
cash
flow
projections;
and
its
cash
holdings
and
access
to
other
funding
sources
including
the
Funds’
interfund
lending
facility
and
line
of
credit.
Classification
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
holdings
in
the
four
liquidity
categories
is
based
on
the
number
of
days
it
is
reasonably
expected
to
take
to
convert
the
investment
to
cash
(for
Highly
Liquid
and
Moderately
Liquid
holdings)
or
sell
or
dispose
of
the
investment
(for
Less
Liquid
and
Illiquid
investments),
in
current
market
conditions
without
significantly
changing
the
investment’s
market
value.
Each
Fund
primarily
holds
liquid
assets
that
are
defined
under
the
Liquidity
Rule
as
"Highly
Liquid
Investments,"
and
therefore
is
not
required
to
establish
an
HLIM.
Highly
Liquid
Investments
are
defined
as
cash
and
any
investment
reasonably
expected
to
be
convertible
to
cash
in
current
market
conditions
in
three
business
days
or
less
without
the
conversion
to
cash
significantly
changing
the
market
value
of
the
investment.
At
meetings
of
the
Funds’
Board
of
Trustees
held
in
May
2022,
the
Program
Administrator
provided
a
written
report
to
the
Board
addressing
the
adequacy
and
effectiveness
of
the
program
for
the
year
ended
December
31,
2021.
The
Program
Administrator
report
concluded
that
(i.)
the
LRMP,
as
adopted
and
implemented,
remains
reasonably
designed
to
assess
and
manage
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk;
(ii.)
the
LRMP,
including
the
Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum
(“HLIM”)
where
applicable,
was
implemented
and
operated
effectively
to
achieve
the
goal
of
assessing
and
managing
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk;
and
(iii.)
each
Fund
was
able
to
meet
requests
for
redemption
without
significant
dilution
of
remaining
investors’
interests
in
the
Fund.

Shareholder
Letter
Dear
Shareholder:
During
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2022,
the
U.S.
economy
showed
progress
as
it
continued
to
recover
from
the
COVID-19
pandemic
amid
declining
unemployment,
rising
wages
and
increased
consumer
expenditures.
The
U.S.
economy
contracted
in
2022’s
first
quarter
given
a
record
trade
deficit
and
a
decline
in
inventory
investment,
while
consumer
spending
expanded
more
slowly,
helped
by
the
reopening
of
businesses,
widespread
vaccinations
and
federal
assistance
programs.
Inflation
increased
during
the
six-month
period,
influenced
by
pandemic-related
supply
chain
issues,
higher
energy
prices,
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine
and
broader
price
pressures.
During
the
first
half
of
this
period,
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
continued
some
quantitative
easing
measures
to
bolster
credit
markets
and
encourage
economic
activity.
However,
to
support
its
goals
to
maximize
employment
and
return
long-
term
annual
inflation
to
2%,
the
Federal
Reserve
continued
reversing
its
quantitative
easing
measures,
increasing
its
monthly
asset
purchase
tapering
and
ending
purchases
by
March
2022.
The
Federal
Reserve
also
raised
the
federal
funds
rate
by
0.25%
in
March,
0.50%
in
May
and
0.75%
in
June,
for
a
total
of
1.50%,
increasing
the
rate
from
0.25%
to
1.75%
during
the
period.
Additionally,
the
Federal
Reserve
stated
its
intention
to
continue
reducing
its
U.S.
Treasury,
government
agency
debt
and
mortgage-backed
securities
holdings,
and
reiterated
its
anticipation
of
ongoing
increases
to
combat
inflation.
Resilient
consumer
demand
together
with
persistent
supply-
chain
disruptions
contributed
to
higher
inflation
in
numerous
countries,
and
many
central
banks
tightened
monetary
policy.
China
imposed
new
lockdowns
to
mitigate
the
spread
of
COVID-19,
which
pressured
Asian
and
global
emerging
market
stocks.
International
sanctions
on
Russia
in
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine
hindered
companies
doing
business
with
Russia
and
disrupted
global
economic
activity
and
commodity
markets.
In
this
environment,
the
prices
of
U.S.
stocks,
as
measured
by
the
Standard
&
Poor’s
®
500
Index
(S&P
500
®
),
returned
-20.58%
(the
index
decreasing
from
4,766.18
to
3,785.38).
1,3
The
prices
of
stocks
in
global
developed
markets,
as
measured
by
the
MSCI
World
Index,
returned
-21.21%
(the
index
decreasing
from
3,231.727
to
2,546.185).
2,3
Investment-grade
bonds,
as
measured
by
the
Bloomberg
U.S.
Aggregate
Bond
Index
(Bloomberg
Index),
posted
a
-10.35%
total
return
(an
index
decrease
from
2,355.14
to
2,111.40),
which
includes
reinvestment
of
income
and
distributions,
reflecting
the
rise
in
interest
rates.
4
We
recognize
the
important
role
of
financial
professionals
in
today’s
markets
and
encourage
investors
to
continue
to
seek
their
advice.
Amid
changing
markets
and
economic
conditions,
we
are
confident
investors
with
a
well-diversified
portfolio
and
a
patient,
long-term
outlook
should
be
well
positioned
for
the
years
ahead.
In
addition,
Franklin
Global
Allocation
Fund’s
semiannual
report
includes
more
detail
about
investment
decisions
during
the
period.
All
securities
markets
fluctuate
in
value,
as
do
mutual
fund
share
prices.
We
thank
you
for
investing
with
Franklin,
welcome
your
questions
and
comments,
and
look
forward
to
serving
your
future
investment
needs.

The
combination
of
resilient
consumer
demand
and
persistent
supply-chain
disruptions
contributed
to
higher
inflation
in
many
countries.
This
inflationary
pressure
led
many
of
the
world’s
central
banks
to
adopt
less
accommodative
stances
regarding
monetary
policy.
The
Chinese
government’s
imposition
of
new
lockdowns
to
quell
the
spread
of
the
Omicron
variant
of
COVID-19
pressured
Asian
and
global
emerging
market
stocks.
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine
also
increased
investor
uncertainty,
as
international
sanctions
on
Russia
constrained
companies
that
do
business
with
Russia
and
disrupted
global
economic
activity
and
commodity
markets.
In
the
U.S.,
gross
domestic
product
(GDP)
growth
turned
negative
in
the
first
quarter
of
2022
as
high
inflation,
supply
constraints
and
record
trade
deficits
weighed
on
the
economy.
Rising
prices
precipitated
a
notable
decline
in
consumer
confidence,
despite
high
spending
levels.
In
an
effort
to
control
inflation,
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
raised
the
federal
funds
target
rate
in
March
2022
for
the
first
time
since
2018.
The
Fed
raised
the
federal
funds
rate
again
at
its
subsequent
two
meetings,
accelerating
the
rate
of
increase
each
time
to
end
the
period
at
a
range
of
1.50%–1.75%.
The
Fed
noted
in
its
June
meeting
that
inflation
remained
elevated,
as
job
growth
was
robust
and
the
unemployment
rate
remained
low.
Furthermore,
the
Fed
said
it
would
continue
to
reduce

anticipated
instituting
further
interest
rate
increases
at
future
meetings.
Economic
growth
in
the
eurozone
maintained
a
slow
rate
in
the
first
quarter
of
2022
as
the
war
in
Ukraine
disrupted
supply
chains,
sent
commodity
prices
higher,
and
weakened
the
economic
outlook.
The
war
in
Ukraine
contributed
to
record
high
inflation
across
the
eurozone
as
commodity
and
oil
prices
soared.
The
European
Central
Bank
indicated
it
will
raise
interest
rates
in
July,
the
first
increase
in
more
than
a
decade,
to
fight
growing
inflation.
In
this

European

Following
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine,
climbing
food
and
energy
prices
kindled
inflationary
pressures
and
raised
concerns
over
the
possibility
of
government
debt
defaults
in
some
countries.
Meanwhile,
some
countries,
particularly
in
Latin
America,
as
well
as
South
Africa
and
Saudi
Arabia,
have
benefited
from
the
rising
commodity
prices.
Investment
Strategy
The
equity
securities
in
which
the
Fund
invests
are
primarily
common
stock
of
companies
in
any
economic
sector
or
market
capitalization.
The
debt
securities
in
which
the
Fund
may
invest
include
all
varieties
of
fixed,
floating
and
variable
rate
instruments.
Bond
investments
may
include
U.S.
and
foreign
corporate
debt,
U.S.
Treasuries
and
foreign
government
bonds.
The
Fund
will
invest
no
more
than
15%
of
its
assets
in
alternative
strategies,
which
may
include
investments
that
provide
exposure
to
commodities
such
as
commodity
future
and
commodity
exchange
traded
funds
(ETFs).
Manager’s
Discussion
The
asset
allocation
of
the
Fund
moved
towards
fixed
income
in
the
first
half
of
2022.
The
Fund
ended
the
period
with
31.4%
in
fixed
income
securities
versus
27.4%
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
The
Fund’s
equity
positions
were
61.4%
at
the
end
of
the
period
versus
68.3%
at
the
beginning
of
the
period.
Additionally,
the
Fund
held
7.3%
in
cash
equivalents.
For
the
period
under
review,
equities
and
fixed
income
detracted
from
absolute
returns,
while
foreign
exchange
positions
contributed
to
absolute
returns.
On
a
sector
basis,
nine
out
of
11
equity
sectors
detracted
from
absolute
performance,
with
holdings
in
the
information
technology
(IT),
consumer
discretionary
and
financials
sectors
detracting
the
most,
while
health
care
and
energy
sector
holdings
contributed.
In
fixed
income,
government
bonds
were
the
largest
detractor
from
absolute
returns.
The
top
equity
contributors
to
absolute
returns
in
the
period
included
Chevron,
AbbVie,
AstraZeneca,
Bristol-Myers
Squibb
and
Canadian
Natural
Resources.
The
largest
detractors
were
holdings
in
iShares
Core
MSCI
Emerging
Markets
ETF,
Amazon.com,
Meta
Platforms,
JPMorgan
Chase
and
Microsoft.
The
largest
fixed
income
detractors
included
holdings
in
U.S.
Treasuries
and
Japanese
government
bonds.
On
a
relative
basis
versus
our
custom
Blended
Benchmark
(60%
MSCI
ACWI-NR,
30%
Bloomberg
Global
Aggregate
Bond
Index
and
10%
cash
and
cash
equivalents),
outperformance
was
driven
by
equities,
foreign
exchange
and
fixed
income,
with
a
small
detraction
from
our
cash
holdings.
Holdings
in
the
health
care,
IT
and
communication
services
sectors
contributed
the
most
to
relative
returns
in
equities,
while
financials
holdings
detracted.
Thank

Summary

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
possible
loss
of
principal.
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
creditworthiness
of
their
issu-
ers.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
Thus,
as
the
prices
of
bonds
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Higher-yielding,
lower-rated
corporate
bonds
entail
a
greater
degree
of
credit
risk
compared
to
investment-grade
securities.
Value
securities
may
not
increase
in
price
as
anticipated
or
may
decline
further
in
value.
Foreign
investing
carries
additional
risks
such
as
currency
and
market
volatility
and
political
or
social
instability,
risks
which
are
heightened
in
developing
countries.
To
the
extent
the
Fund
focuses
on
particular
countries,
regions,
industries,
sectors
or
types
of
investments
from
time
to
time,
it
may
be
subject
to
greater
risks
of
adverse
developments
in
such
areas
of
focus
than
a
fund
that
invests
in
a
wider
variety
of
countries,
regions,
industries,
sectors
or
investments.
In
addition
to
risks
associated
with
more
traditional
investments
(e.g.,
market
risk,
credit
risk,
etc.),
the
Fund’s
investments
in
alternative
strategies
may
expose
the
Fund
to
potentially
significant
fluctuations
in
value.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
diseases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
The
Fund’s
prospectus
also
includes
a
description
of
the
main
investment
risks.
Russia’s
military
invasion
of
Ukraine
in
February
2022,
the
resulting
responses
by
the
United
States
and
other
countries,
and
the
potential
for
wider
conflict
could
increase
volatility
and
uncertainty
in
the
financial
markets
and
adversely
affect
regional
and
global
economies.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
im-
posed
broad-ranging
economic
sanctions
on
Russia
and
certain
Russian
individuals,
banking
entities
and
corporations
as
a
response
to
its
invasion
of
Ukraine.
The
United
States
and
other
countries
have
also
imposed
economic
sanctions
on
Belarus
and
may
impose
sanctions
on
other
countries
that
support
Russia’s
military
invasion.
These
sanctions,
as
well
as
any
other
economic
consequences
related
to
the
invasion,
such
as
additional
sanctions,
boycotts
or
changes
in
consumer
or
purchaser
preferences
or
cyberattacks
on
governments,
companies
or
individuals,
may
further
decrease
the
value
and
liquidity
of
certain
Russian
securities
and
securities
of
issuers
in
other
countries
that
are
subject
to
economic
sanctions
related
to
the
invasion.

The
Fund
has
an
expense
reduction
and
a
fee
waiver
associated
with
any
investments
it
makes
in
a
Franklin
Templeton
money
fund
and/or
other
Franklin
Templeton
fund,
contractually
guaranteed
through
4/30/23.
Fund
investment
results
reflect
the
expense
reduction
and
fee
waiver;
without
these
reductions,
the
results
would
have
been
lower.
Effective
2/1/21,
the

repositioned
from
investing
in
a
static
allocation
of
underlying
funds
(which
invested
primarily
in
U.S.
and
foreign
equity
securities)
to
become
a
directly
managed
allocation
fund
holding
a
diversified
portfolio
of
debt
and
equity
securities
and,
to
a
lesser
extent,
alternative
strategies.
Such
a
change
can
impact
perfor-
mance.

Semiannual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.

Expenses
are
equal
to
the

ratio
for

by
the
simple
average

Organization
and
Significant
Accounting
Policies
Franklin
Fund
Allocator
Series (Trust)
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(1940
Act)
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company,
consisting
of
eighteen separate
funds
and
applies
the
specialized
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
U.S.
Generally
Accepted
Accounting
Principles
(U.S.
GAAP).
Franklin
Global
Allocation
Fund
(Fund)
is
included
in
this
report.
The
Fund
offers
five
classes
of
shares:
Class
A,
Class
C,
Class
R,
Class
R6
and
Advisor
Class.
Class
C
shares
automatically
convert
to
Class
A
shares
on
a
monthly
basis,
after
they
have
been
held
for
8
years.
Each
class
of
shares
may
differ
by
its
initial
sales
load,
contingent
deferred
sales
charges,
voting
rights
on
matters
affecting
a
single
class,
its
exchange
privilege
and
fees
due
to
differing
arrangements
for
distribution
and
transfer
agent
fees.
The
following
summarizes
the Fund
’
s
significant
accounting
policies
.
a.
Financial
Instrument
Valuation
The
Fund’s
investments
in
financial
instruments
are
carried
at
fair
value
daily.
Fair
value
is
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
on
the
measurement
date.
The
Fund
calculates
the
net
asset
value
(NAV)
per
share
each
business
day
as
of
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
or
the
regularly
scheduled
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE),
whichever
is
earlier.
Under
compliance
policies
and
procedures
approved
by
the
Trust's
Board
of
Trustees
(the
Board),
the
Fund’s
administrator
has
responsibility
for
oversight
of
valuation,
including
leading
the
cross-functional
Valuation
Committee
(VC).
The
Fund
may
utilize
independent
pricing
services,
quotations
from
securities
and
financial
instrument
dealers,
and
other
market
sources
to
determine
fair
value.
Equity
securities,
exchange
traded
funds
and
derivative
financial
instruments
listed
on
an
exchange
or
on
the
NASDAQ
National
Market
System
are
valued
at
the
last
quoted
sale
price
or
the
official
closing
price of
the
day,
respectively.
Foreign
equity
securities
are
valued
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
foreign
stock
exchange
on
which
the
security
is
primarily
traded,
or
as
of
4
p.m.
Eastern
time.
The
value
is
then
converted
into
its
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
at
the
foreign
exchange
rate
in
effect
at
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
on
the
day
that
the
value
of
the
security
is
determined.
Over-the-
counter
(OTC)
securities
are
valued
within
the
range
of
the
most
recent
quoted
bid
and
ask
prices.
Securities
that
trade
in
multiple
markets
or
on
multiple
exchanges
are
valued
according
to
the
broadest
and
most
representative
market.
Certain
equity
securities
are
valued
based
upon
fundamental
characteristics
or
relationships
to
similar
securities.
Debt
securities
generally
trade
in
the
OTC
market rather
than
on
a
securities
exchange.
The
Fund’s
pricing
services
use
multiple
valuation
techniques
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
exists,
the
pricing
services
may
utilize
a
market-based
approach
through
which
quotes
from
market
makers
are
used
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
may
not
exist
or
is
limited,
the
pricing
services
also
utilize
proprietary
valuation
models
which
may
consider
market
characteristics
such
as
benchmark
yield
curves,
credit
spreads,
estimated
default
rates,
anticipated
market
interest
rate
volatility,
coupon
rates,
anticipated
timing
of
principal
repayments,
underlying
collateral,
and
other
unique
security
features
in
order
to
estimate
the
relevant
cash
flows,
which
are
then
discounted
to
calculate
the
fair
value.
Securities
denominated
in
a
foreign
currency
are
converted
into
their
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
at
the
foreign
exchange
rate
in
effect
at
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
on
the
date
that
the
values
of
the
foreign
debt
securities
are
determined.
Investments
in
open-end mutual
funds
are
valued
at
the
closing
NAV.
Certain
derivative
financial
instruments
trade
in
the
OTC
market.
The
Fund’s pricing
services
use
various
techniques
including
industry
standard
option
pricing
models
and
proprietary
discounted
cash
flow
models
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
those
instruments.
The
Fund’s net
benefit
or
obligation
under
the
derivative
contract,
as
measured
by
the
fair
value
of
the
contract,
is
included
in
net
assets.
The
Fund
has
procedures
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments
for
which
market
prices
are
not
reliable
or
readily
available.
Under
these
procedures,
the
Fund
primarily
employs
a
market-based
approach
which
may
use
related
or
comparable
assets
or
liabilities,
recent
transactions,
market
multiples,
book
values,
and
other
relevant
information
for
the
investment
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
the
investment.
An
income-based
valuation
approach
may
also
be
used
in
which
the
anticipated
future
cash
flows
of
the
investment
are
discounted
to
calculate
fair
value.
Discounts
may
also
be
applied
due
to
the
nature
or
duration
of
any
restrictions
on
the
disposition
of
the
investments.
Due
to
the
inherent
uncertainty
of
valuations

Fund
(continued)
such
investments,
the
fair
values
may
differ
significantly
from
the
values
that
would
have
been
used
had
an
active
market
existed.
Trading
in
securities
on
foreign
securities
stock
exchanges
and
OTC
markets
may
be
completed
before
4
p.m.
Eastern
time.
In
addition,
trading
in
certain
foreign
markets
may
not
take
place
on
every
Fund’s
business
day.
Events
can occur
between
the
time
at
which
trading
in
a
foreign
security
is
completed
and
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
that
might
call
into
question
the
reliability
of
the
value
of
a
portfolio
security
held
by
the
Fund.
As
a
result,
differences
may
arise
between
the
value
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
securities
as
determined
at
the
foreign
market
close
and
the
latest
indications
of
value
at
4
p.m.
Eastern
time.
In
order
to
minimize
the
potential
for
these
differences,
an
independent
pricing
service
may
be
used
to
adjust
the
value
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
securities
to
the
latest
indications
of
fair
value
at
4
p.m.
Eastern
time.
At
June
30,
2022,
certain
securities
may
have
been
fair
valued
using
these
procedures,
in
which
case
the
securities
were
categorized
as
Level
2
inputs
within
the
fair
value
hierarchy
(referred
to
as
“market
level
fair
value”).
See
the
Fair
Value
Measurements
note
for
more
information.
When
the
last
day
of
the
reporting
period
is
a
non-business
day,
certain
foreign
markets
may
be
open
on
those
days
that
the
Fund’s
NAV
is
not
calculated,
which
could
result
in
differences
between
the
value
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
securities
on
the
last
business
day
and
the
last
calendar
day
of
the
reporting
period.
Any
security
valuation
changes
due
to
an
open
foreign
market
are
adjusted
and
reflected
by
the
Fund
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
b.
Foreign
Currency
Translation
Portfolio
securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
based
on
the
exchange
rate
of
such
currencies
against
U.S.
dollars
on
the
date
of
valuation.
The
Fund
may
enter
into
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
to
facilitate
transactions
denominated
in
a
foreign
currency.
Purchases
and
sales
of
securities,
income
and
expense
items
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
at
the
exchange
rate
in
effect
on
the
transaction
date.
Portfolio
securities
and
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
contain
risks
that
those
currencies
will
decline
in
value
relative
to
the
U.S.
dollar.
Occasionally,
events
may
impact
the
availability
or
reliability
of
foreign
exchange
rates
used
to
convert
the
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
value.
If
such
an
event
occurs,
the
foreign
exchange
rate
will
be
valued
at
fair
value
using
procedures
established
and
approved
by
the
Board.
The
Fund
does
not
separately
report
the
effect
of
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
changes
in
market
prices
on
securities
held.
Such
changes
are
included
in
net
realized
and
unrealized
gain
or
loss
from
investments
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Realized
foreign
exchange
gains
or
losses
arise
from
sales
of
foreign
currencies,
currency
gains
or
losses
realized
between
the
trade
and
settlement
dates
on
securities
transactions
and
the
difference
between
the
recorded
amounts
of
dividends,
interest,
and
foreign
withholding
taxes
and
the
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
of
the
amounts
actually
received
or
paid.
Net
unrealized
foreign
exchange
gains
and
losses
arise
from
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
on
foreign
denominated
assets
and
liabilities
other
than
investments
in
securities
held
at
the
end
of
the
reporting
period.
c.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Fund
invested
in
derivative
financial
instruments
in
order
to
manage
risk
or
gain
exposure
to
various
other
investments
or
markets.
Derivatives
are
financial
contracts
based
on
an
underlying
or
notional
amount,
require
no
initial
investment
or
an
initial
net
investment
that
is
smaller
than
would
normally
be
required
to
have
a
similar
response
to
changes
in
market
factors,
and
require
or
permit
net
settlement.
Derivatives
contain
various
risks
including
the
potential
inability
of
the
counterparty
to
fulfill
their
obligations
under
the
terms
of
the
contract,
the
potential
for
an
illiquid
secondary
market,
and/or
the
potential
for
market
movements
which
expose
the
Fund
to
gains
or
losses
in
excess
of
the
amounts
shown
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Realized
gain
and
loss
and
unrealized
appreciation
and
depreciation
on
these
contracts
for
the
period
are
included
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Derivative
counterparty
credit
risk
is
managed
through
a
formal
evaluation
of
the
creditworthiness
of
all
potential
counterparties.
The
Fund
attempts
to
reduce
its
exposure
to
counterparty
credit
risk
on
OTC
derivatives,
whenever
possible,
by
entering
into
International
Swaps
and
Derivatives
Association
(ISDA)
master
agreements

Fund
(continued)
with
certain
counterparties.
These
agreements
contain
various
provisions,
including
but
not
limited
to
collateral
requirements,
events
of
default,
or
early
termination.
Termination
events
applicable
to
the
counterparty
include
certain
deteriorations
in
the
credit
quality
of
the
counterparty.
Termination
events
applicable
to
the
Fund
include
failure
of
the
Fund
to
maintain
certain
net
asset
levels
and/or
limit
the
decline
in
net
assets
over
various
periods
of
time.
In
the
event
of
default
or
early
termination,
the
ISDA
master
agreement
gives
the
non-defaulting
party
the
right
to
net
and
close-out
all
transactions
traded,
whether
or
not
arising
under
the
ISDA
agreement,
to
one
net
amount
payable
by
one
counterparty
to
the
other.
However,
absent
an
event
of
default
or
early
termination,
OTC
derivative
assets
and
liabilities
are
presented
gross
and
not
offset
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Early
termination
by
the
counterparty
may
result
in
an
immediate
payment
by
the
Fund
of
any
net
liability
owed
to
that
counterparty
under
the
ISDA
agreement.
At
June
30,
2022,
the
Fund
had
OTC
derivatives
in
a
net
liability
position
of
$2,040,648
and
the
aggregate
value
of
collateral
pledged
for
such
contracts
was
$2,130,000.
Collateral
requirements
differ
by
type
of
derivative.
Collateral
terms
are
contract
specific
for
OTC
derivatives.
For
OTC
derivatives
traded
under
an
ISDA
master
agreement,
posting
of
collateral
is
required
by
either
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
counterparty
if
the
total
net
exposure
of
all
OTC
derivatives
with
the
applicable
counterparty
exceeds
the
minimum
transfer
amount,
which
typically
ranges
from
$100,000
to
$250,000,
and
can
vary
depending
on
the
counterparty
and
the
type
of
agreement.
Generally,
collateral
is
determined
at
the
close
of
Fund
business
each
day
and
any
additional
collateral
required
due
to
changes
in
derivative
values
may
be
delivered
by
the
Fund
or
the
counterparty
the
next
business
day,
or
within
a
few
business
days.
Collateral
pledged
and/or
received
by
the
Fund,
if
any,
is
held
in
segregated
accounts
with
the
Fund’s
custodian/counterparty
broker
and
can
be
in
the
form
of
cash
and/or
securities.
Unrestricted
cash
may
be
invested
according
to
the
Fund's
investment
objectives.
To
the
extent
that
the
amounts
due
to
the
Fund
from
its
counterparties
are
not
subject
to
collateralization
or
are
not
fully
collateralized,
the
Fund
bears
the
risk
of
loss
from
counterparty
non-performance.
The
Fund
entered
into
OTC
forward
exchange
contracts
primarily
to
manage
and/or
gain
exposure
to
certain
foreign
currencies.
A
forward
exchange
contract
is
an
agreement
between
the
Fund
and
a
counterparty
to
buy
or
sell
a
foreign
currency at
a
specific
exchange
rate
on
a
future
date.
See
Note
9
regarding
other
derivative
information.
d.
Income
Taxes
It
is
the
Fund's
policy
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
the
Internal
Revenue
Code.
The Fund
intends
to
distribute
to
shareholders
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
and
net
realized
gains
to
relieve
it
from
federal
income
and excise
taxes.
As
a
result,
no
provision
for
U.S.
federal
income
taxes
is
required.
The
Fund
may
be
subject
to
foreign
taxation
related
to
income
received,
capital
gains
on
the
sale
of
securities
and
certain
foreign
currency
transactions
in
the
foreign
jurisdictions
in
which
it
invests.
Foreign
taxes,
if
any,
are
recorded
based
on
the
tax
regulations
and
rates
that
exist
in
the
foreign
markets
in
which
the
Fund
invests.
When
a
capital
gain
tax
is
determined
to
apply,
the
Fund
records
an
estimated
deferred
tax
liability
in
an
amount
that
would
be
payable
if
the
securities
were
disposed
of
on
the
valuation
date.
The
Fund
may
recognize
an
income
tax
liability
related
to
its
uncertain
tax
positions
under
U.S.
GAAP
when
the
uncertain
tax
position
has
a
less
than
50%
probability
that
it
will
be
sustained
upon
examination
by
the
tax
authorities
based
on
its
technical
merits.
As
of
June
30,
2022,
the
Fund
has
determined
that
no
tax
liability
is
required
in
its
financial
statements
related
to
uncertain
tax
positions
for
any
open
tax
years
(or
expected
to
be
taken
in
future
tax
years).
Open
tax
years
are
those
that
remain
subject
to
examination
and
are
based
on
the
statute
of
limitations
in
each
jurisdiction
in
which
the
Fund
invests.
e.
Security
Transactions,
Investment
Income,
Expenses
and
Distributions
Security
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
trade
date.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
security
transactions
are
determined
on
a
specific
identification
basis.
Interest
income
and
estimated
expenses
are
accrued
daily.
Amortization
of
premium
and
accretion
of
discount
on
debt
securities
are
included
in
interest
income.
Dividend
income
is
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date
except
for
certain
dividends

recorded
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP.
These
differences
may
be
permanent
or
temporary.
Permanent
differences
are
reclassified
among
capital
accounts
to
reflect
their
tax
character.
These
reclassifications
have
no
impact
on
net
assets
or
the
results
of
operations.
Temporary
differences
are
not
reclassified,
as
they
may
reverse
in
subsequent
periods.
Common
expenses
incurred
by
the
Trust
are
allocated
among
the
Funds
based
on
the
ratio
of
net
assets
of
each
Fund
to
the
combined
net
assets
of
the
Trust
or
based
on
the
ratio
of
number
of
shareholders
of
each
Fund
to
the
combined
number
of
shareholders
of
the
Trust.
Fund
specific
expenses
are
charged
directly
to
the
Fund
that
incurred
the
expense.
Realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
and
net
investment
income,
excluding
class
specific
expenses,
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
of
shares
based
upon
the
relative
proportion
of
net
assets
of
each
class.
Differences
in
per
share
distributions
by
class
are
generally
due
to
differences
in
class

expenses.
Inflation-indexed

are
adjusted
for
inflation
through
periodic
increases
or
decreases
in
the

accruals,
face
amount,
or
principal

value,
by
amounts
corresponding
to
the
rate
of
inflation
as
measured
by
an

Any
increase
or

in
the
face

will
be
included
as
inflation

in
the

of
Operations.
f.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
amounts
of
income
and
expenses
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
g.
Guarantees
and
Indemnifications
Under
the
Trust’s
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and
trustees
are
indemnified
by
the
Trust
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Trust.
Additionally,
in
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
enters
into
contracts
with
service
providers
that
contain
general
indemnification
clauses.
The
Trust's
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
as
this
would
involve
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
the
Trust
that
have
not
yet
occurred.
Currently,
the
Trust
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.

As
defined
in
the
1940
Act,
an
investment

either
directly
or

25%
or
more
of
the
affiliated
fund’s
outstanding
shares
or
has
the
power
to
exercise
control
over
management
or
policies
of
such
fund.
The
Fund

not
invest
for
purposes
of
exercising
a
controlling

the
management
or

paid
by
the
Fund
are
waived
on

Geopolitical
Risk
On
February
24,
2022,
Russia
engaged
in
military
actions
in
the
sovereign
territory
of
Ukraine.
The
current
political
and
financial
uncertainty
surrounding
Russia
and
Ukraine
may
increase
market
volatility
and
the
economic
risk
of
investing
in
securities
in
these
countries
and
may
also
cause
uncertainty
for
the
global
economy
and
broader
financial
markets.
The
ultimate
fallout
and
long-term
impact
from
these
events
are
not
known.
The
Fund
will
continue
to
assess
the
impact
on
valuations
and
liquidity
and
will
take
any
potential
actions
needed
in
accordance
with
procedures
approved
by
the
Board.

in

may
continue for

The

pay
its
share
of
fees
and
expenses
incurred
in
connection
with
the
implementation
and
maintenance
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
based

Borrowers,
including
an
annual
commitment
fee
of
0.15%

Fair
Value
Measurements
The
Fund
follows
a
fair
value
hierarchy
that
distinguishes
between
market
data
obtained
from
independent
sources
(observable
inputs)
and
the Fund's
own
market
assumptions
(unobservable
inputs).
These
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
value
of
the
Fund's financial
instruments
and
are
summarized
in
the
following
fair
value
hierarchy:
Level
1
–
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
financial
instruments
Level
2
–
other
significant
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar
financial
instruments,
interest
rates,
prepayment
speed,
credit
risk,
etc.)
Level
3
–
significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
the
Fund's
own
assumptions
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments)
The
input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
financial
instruments
at
that
level.
A
summary
of
inputs
used
as
of
June
30,
2022,
in
valuing
the
Fund's
assets
carried
at
fair
value,
is
as

New
Accounting
Pronouncements
In June
2022,
the
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
(FASB)
issued
Accounting
Standards
Update
(ASU)
No.
2022-03,
Fair
Value
Measurement
(Topic
820)
–
Fair
Value
Measurement
of
Equity
Securities
Subject
to
Contractual
Sale
Restrictions.
The
amendments
in
the
ASU
clarify
that
a
contractual
restriction
on
the
sale
of
an
equity
security
is
not
considered
part
of
the
unit
of
account
of
the
equity
security
and,
therefore,
should
not
be
considered
in
measuring
fair
value.
The
ASU
is
effective
for
interim
and
annual
reporting
periods
beginning
after
December
15,
2023,
with
the
option
of
early
adoption.
Management
is
currently
evaluating
the
impact,
if
any,
of
applying
this
ASU.
13.
Subsequent
Events
The
Fund
has
evaluated
subsequent
events
through
the
issuance
of
the
financial
statements
and
determined
that
no
events
have
occurred
that
require
disclosure.

At
an
in-person
meeting
held
on
February
28,
2022
(Meeting),
the
Board
of
Trustees
(Board)
of
Franklin
Fund
Allocator
Series
(Trust),
including
a
majority
of
the
trustees
who
are
not
“interested
persons”
as
defined
in
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(Independent
Trustees),
reviewed
and
approved
the
continuance
of
the
investment
management
agreement
between
Franklin
Advisers,
Inc.
(Manager)
and
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund
(Management
Agreement)
for
an
additional
one-year
period.
The
Independent
Trustees
received
advice
from
and
met
separately
with
Independent
Trustee
counsel
in
considering
whether
to
approve
the
continuation
of
the
Management
Agreement.
In
considering
the
continuation
of
the
Management
Agreement,
the
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
provided
by
the
Manager
at
the
Meeting
and
throughout
the
year
at
meetings
of
the
Board
and
its
committees.
The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
information
provided
in
response
to
a
detailed
set
of
requests
for
information
submitted
to
the
Manager
by
Independent
Trustee
counsel
on
behalf
of
the
Independent
Trustees
in
connection
with
the
annual
contract
renewal
process.
In
addition,
prior
to
the
Meeting,
the
Independent
Trustees
held
a
virtual
contract
renewal
meeting
at
which
the
Independent
Trustees
first
conferred
amongst
themselves
and
Independent
Trustee
counsel
about
contract
renewal
matters;
and
then
met
with
management
to
request
additional
information
that
the
Independent
Trustees
reviewed
and
considered
at
the
Meeting.
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
all
of
the
factors
it
deemed
relevant
in
approving
the
continuance
of
the
Management
Agreement,
including,
but
not
limited
to:
(i)
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided
by
the
Manager;
(ii)
the
investment
performance
of
the
Fund;
(iii)
the
costs
of
the
services
provided
and
profits
realized
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
from
the
relationship
with
the
Fund;
(iv)
the
extent
to
which
economies
of
scale
are
realized
as
the
Fund
grows;
and
(v)
whether
fee
levels
reflect
these
economies
of
scale
for
the
benefit
of
Fund
investors.
In
approving
the
continuance
of
the
Management
Agreement,
the
Board,
including
a
majority
of
the
Independent
Trustees,
determined
that
the
terms
of
the
Management
Agreement
are
fair
and
reasonable
and
that
the
continuance
of
such
Management
Agreement
is
in
the
best
interests
of
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
While
attention
was
given
to
all
information
furnished,
the
following
discusses
some
primary
factors
relevant
to
the
Board’s
determination.
Nature,
Extent
and
Quality
of
Services
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
regarding
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
investment
management
services
provided
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
to
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
This
information
included,
among
other
things,
the
qualifications,
background
and
experience
of
the
senior
management
and
investment
personnel
of
the
Manager,
as
well
as
information
on
succession
planning
where
appropriate;
the
structure
of
investment
personnel
compensation;
oversight
of
third-
party
service
providers;
investment
performance
reports
and
related
financial
information
for
the
Fund;
reports
on
expenses
and
shareholder
services;
legal
and
compliance
matters;
risk
controls;
pricing
and
other
services
provided
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates;
and
management
fees
charged
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
to
US
funds
and
other
accounts,
including
management’s
explanation
of
differences
among
accounts
where
relevant.
The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
an
annual
report
on
payments
made
by
Franklin
Templeton
(FT)
or
the
Fund
to
financial
intermediaries,
as
well
as
a
memorandum
relating
to
third-
party
servicing
arrangements,
which
included
discussion
of
the
changing
distribution
landscape
for
the
Fund.
The
Board
acknowledged
the
ongoing
integration
of
the
Legg
Mason
family
of
funds
into
the
FT
family
of
funds
and
developing
strategies
to
address
areas
of
heightened
concern
in
the
mutual
fund
industry,
including
various
regulatory
initiatives
and
recent
geopolitical
concerns.
The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
the
benefits
provided
to
Fund
shareholders
of
investing
in
a
fund
that
is
part
of
the
FT
family
of
funds.
The
Board
noted
the
financial
position
of
Franklin
Resources,
Inc.
(FRI),
the
Manager’s
parent,
and
its
commitment
to
the
mutual
fund
business
as
evidenced
by
its
reassessment
of
the
fund
offerings
in
response
to
the
market
environment
and
project
initiatives
and
capital
investments
relating
to
the
services
provided
to
the
Fund
by
the
FT
organization.
The
Board
Franklin

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual

specifically
noted
FT’s
commitment
to
being
a
global
leader
in
stewardship
and
sustainability
and
the
recent
addition
of
a
senior
executive
focused
on
environmental,
social
and
governance
and
climate
control
initiatives.
Following
consideration
of
such
information,
the
Board
was
satisfied
with
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
to
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.
Fund
Performance
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
the
performance
results
of
the
Fund
over
various
time
periods
ended
November
30,
2021.
The
Board
considered
the
performance
returns
for
the
Fund
in
comparison
to
the
performance
returns
of
mutual
funds
deemed
comparable
to
the
Fund
included

(Performance

selected
by
Broadridge

The
Board
received
a
description
of
the
methodology
used
by
Broadridge
to
select
the
mutual
funds
included
in

The
Board
also
reviewed
and
considered
Fund
performance
reports
provided
and
discussions
that
occurred
with
portfolio
managers
at
Board
meetings
throughout
the
year.
A
summary
of
the
Fund’s
performance
results
is
below.
The
Performance
Universe
for
the
Fund
included
the
Fund
and
all
retail
and
institutional
flexible
portfolio
funds.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Fund’s
annualized
total
return
for
the
one-
and
10-year
periods
was
above
the
median
of
its
Performance
Universe,
but
for
the
three-
and
five-year
periods
was
below
the
median
of
its
Performance
Universe.
The
Board
further
noted
that,
effective
February
1,
2021,
the
Fund
was
repositioned
from
a
fund-of-funds
to
a
directly
managed
allocation
fund.
The
Board
concluded
that
the
Fund’s
performance
was
satisfactory.
Comparative
Fees
and
Expenses
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
regarding
the
Fund’s
actual
total
expense
ratio
and
its
various
components,
including,
as
applicable,
management
fees;
transfer
agent
expenses;
underlying
fund
expenses;
Rule
12b-1
and
non-Rule
12b-1
service
fees;
and
other
non-
management
fees.
The
Board
also
noted
the
quarterly
and
annual
reports
it
receives
on
all
marketing
support
payments
made
by
FT
to
financial
intermediaries.
The
Board
considered
the
actual
total
expense
ratio
and,
separately,
the
contractual
management
fee
rate,
without
the
effect
of
fee
waivers,
if
any
(Management
Rate)
of
the
Fund
in
comparison
to
the
median
expense
ratio
and
median
Management
Rate,
respectively,
of
other
mutual
funds
deemed
comparable
to
and
with
a
similar
expense
structure
to
the
Fund
selected
by
Broadridge
(Expense
Group).
Broadridge
fee
and
expense
data
is
based
upon
information
taken
from
each
fund’s
most
recent
annual
or
semi-annual
report,
which
reflects
historical
asset
levels
that
may
be
quite
different
from
those
currently
existing,
particularly
in
a
period
of
market
volatility.
While
recognizing
such
inherent
limitation
and
the
fact
that
expense
ratios
and
Management
Rates
generally
increase
as
assets
decline
and
decrease
as
assets
grow,
the
Board
believed
the
independent
analysis
conducted
by
Broadridge
to
be
an
appropriate
measure
of
comparative
fees
and
expenses.
The
Broadridge
Management
Rate
includes
administrative
charges,
and
the
actual
total
expense
ratio,
for
comparative
consistency,
was
shown
for
Class
A
shares
for
the
Fund
and
for
each
other
fund
in
the
Expense
Group.
The
Board
received
a
description
of
the
methodology
used
by
Broadridge
to
select
the
mutual
funds
included
in
an
Expense
Group.
The
Expense
Group
for
the
Fund
included
the
Fund
and
ten
other
flexible
portfolio
funds.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Fund’s
Management
Rate
and
total
expense
ratio
were
below
the
median
and
in
the
first
quintile
(least
expensive)
of
its
Expense
Group.
The
Board
further
noted
that
the
Fund’s
total
expense
ratio
reflected
a
fee
waiver
from
management.
The
Board
concluded
that
the
Management
Rate
charged
to
the
Fund
is
reasonable.
Profitability
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
information
regarding
the
profits
realized
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
in
connection
with
the
operation
of
the
Fund.
In
this
respect,
the
Board
considered
the
Fund
profitability
analysis
provided
by
the
Manager
that
addresses
the
overall
profitability
of
FT’s
US
fund
business,
as
well
as
its
profits
in
providing
investment
management
and
other
services
to
each
of
the
individual
funds
during
the
12-month
period
ended
September
30,
2021,
being
the
most
recent
fiscal
year-
end
for
FRI.
The
Board
noted
that
although
management
continually
makes
refinements
to
its
methodologies
used
in
calculating
profitability
in
response
to
organizational
and
product-related
changes,
the
overall
methodology
has
remained
consistent
with
that
used
in
the
Fund’s
profitability
report
presentations
from
prior
years.
The
Board
also
noted
that
PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP,
auditor
to
FRI
and
certain
FT
funds,
has
been
engaged
by
the
Manager
to
periodically
review
and
assess
the
allocation
methodologies
to
be
used
solely
by
the
Fund’s
Board
with
respect
to
the
profitability
analysis.
The
Board
noted
management’s
belief
that
costs
incurred
in
establishing
the
infrastructure
necessary
for
the
type
of
mutual
fund
operations
conducted
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
may
not
be
fully
reflected
in
the
expenses
allocated
to
the
Fund
in
determining
its
profitability,
as
Franklin
Fund
Allocator
Series
Shareholder
Information
42
franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
well
as
the
fact
that
the
level
of
profits,
to
a
certain
extent,
reflected
operational
cost
savings
and
efficiencies
initiated
by
management.
As
part
of
this
evaluation,
the
Board
considered
management’s
outsourcing
of
certain
operations,
which
effort
has
required
considerable
up-front
expenditures
by
the
Manager
but,
over
the
long
run
is
expected
to
result
in
greater
efficiencies.
The
Board
also
noted
management’s
expenditures
in
improving
shareholder
services
provided
to
the
Fund,
as
well
as
the
need
to
implement
systems
and
meet
additional
regulatory
and
compliance
requirements
resulting
from
recent
US
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
other
regulatory
requirements.
The
Board
also
considered
the
extent
to
which
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
might
derive
ancillary
benefits
from
fund
operations,
including
revenues
generated
from
transfer
agent
services,
potential
benefits
resulting
from
personnel
and
systems
enhancements
necessitated
by
fund
growth,
as
well
as
increased
leverage
with
service
providers
and
counterparties.
Based
upon
its
consideration
of
all
these
factors,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
level
of
profits
realized
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates
from
providing
services
to
the
Fund
was
not
excessive
in
view
of
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
to
the
Fund.
Economies
of
Scale
The
Board
reviewed
and
considered
the
extent
to
which
the
Manager
may
realize
economies
of
scale,
if
any,
as
the
Fund
grows
larger
and
whether
the
Fund’s
management
fee
structure
reflects
any
economies
of
scale
for
the
benefit
of
shareholders.
With
respect
to
possible
economies
of
scale,
the
Board
noted
the
existence
of
management
fee
breakpoints,
which
operate
generally
to
share
any
economies
of
scale
with
the
Fund’s
shareholders
by
reducing
the
Fund’s
effective
management
fees
as
the
Fund
grows
in
size.
The
Board
considered
the
Manager’s
view
that
any
analyses
of
potential
economies
of
scale
in
managing
a
particular
fund
are
inherently
limited
in
light
of
the
joint
and
common
costs
and
investments
the
Manager
incurs
across
the
FT
family
of
funds
as
a
whole.
The
Board
concluded
that
to
the
extent
economies
of
scale
may
be
realized
by
the
Manager
and
its
affiliates,
the
Fund’s
management
fee
structure
provided
a
sharing
of
benefits
with
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders
as
the
Fund
grows.
Conclusion
Based
on
its
review,
consideration
and
evaluation
of
all
factors
it
believed
relevant,
including
the
above-described
factors
and
conclusions,
the
Board
unanimously
approved
the
continuation
of
the
Management
Agreement
for
an
additional
one-year
period.
Liquidity
Risk
Management
Program
Each
Fund
has
adopted
and
implemented
a
written
Liquidity
Risk
Management
Program
(the
“LRMP”)
as
required
by
Rule
22e-4
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
“Liquidity
Rule”).
The
LRMP
is
designed
to
assess
and
manage
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk,
which
is
defined
as
the
risk
that
the
Fund
could
not
meet
requests
to
redeem
shares
issued
by
the
Fund
without
significant
dilution
of
remaining
investors’
interests
in
the
Fund.
In
accordance
with
the
Liquidity
Rule,
the
LRMP
includes
policies
and
procedures
that
provide
for:
(1)
assessment,
management,
and
review
(no
less
frequently
than
annually)
of
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk;
(2)
classification
of
each
Fund’s
portfolio
holdings
into
one
of
four
liquidity
categories
(Highly
Liquid,
Moderately
Liquid,
Less
Liquid,
and
Illiquid);
(3)
for
Funds
that
do
not
primarily
hold
assets
that
are
Highly
Liquid,
establishing
and
maintaining
a
minimum
percentage
of
the
Fund’s
net
assets
in
Highly
Liquid
investments
(called
a
“Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum”
or
“HLIM”);
and
(4)
prohibiting
the
Fund’s
acquisition
of
Illiquid
investments
that
would
result
in
the
Fund
holding
more
than
15%
of
its
net
assets
in
Illiquid
assets.
The
LRMP
also
requires
reporting
to
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
(on
a
non-public
basis)
and
to
the
Board
if
the
Fund’s
holdings
of
Illiquid
assets
exceed
15%
of
the
Fund’s
net
assets.
Funds
with
HLIMs
must
have
procedures
for
addressing
HLIM
shortfalls,
including
reporting
to
the
Board
and,
with
respect
to
HLIM
shortfalls
lasting
more
than
seven
consecutive
calendar
days,
reporting
to
the
SEC
(on
a
non-public
basis).
The
Director
of
Liquidity
Risk
within
the
Investment
Risk
Management
Group
(the
“IRMG”)
is
the
appointed
Administrator
of
the
LRMP.
The
IRMG
maintains
the
Investment
Liquidity
Committee
(the
“ILC”)
to
provide
oversight
and
administration
of
policies
and
procedures
governing
liquidity
risk
management
for
Franklin
Templeton
and
Legg
Mason
products
and
portfolios.
The
ILC
includes
representatives
from
Franklin
Templeton’s
Risk,
Trading,
Global
Compliance,
Legal,
Investment
Compliance,
Investment
Operations,
Valuation
Committee,
Product
Management
and
Global
Product
Strategy.
In
assessing
and
managing
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk,
the
ILC
considers,
as
relevant,
a
variety
of
factors,
including
the
Fund’s
investment
strategy
and
the
liquidity
of
its
portfolio
investments
during
both
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions;
its
short
and
long-term
cash
flow
projections;
and
its
cash
holdings
and
access
to
other
funding
sources
including
the
Funds’
interfund
lending
facility
and
line
of
credit.
Classification
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
holdings
the
four
liquidity
categories
is
based
on
the
number
of
days
it
is
reasonably
expected
to
take
to
convert

the
investment
to

or

or

the
investment
(for
Less
Liquid
and
Illiquid
investments),
in
current
market
conditions
without
significantly
changing
the
investment’s
market
value.
Each
Fund
primarily
holds
liquid
assets
that
are
defined
under
the
Liquidity
Rule
as
"Highly
Liquid
Investments,"
and
therefore
is
not
required
to
establish
an
HLIM.
Highly
Liquid
Investments
are
defined
as
cash
and
any
investment
reasonably
expected
to
be
convertible
to
cash
in
current
market
conditions
in
three
business
days
or
less
without
the
conversion
to

significantly
changing
the
market
value
of
the
investment.
At
meetings
of
the
Funds’
Board
of
Trustees
held
in
May
2022,
the
Program
Administrator
provided
a
written
report
to
the
Board
addressing
the
adequacy
and
effectiveness
of
the
program
for
the
year
ended
December
31,
2021.
The
Program
Administrator
report
concluded
that
(i.)
the
LRMP,
as
adopted
and
implemented,
remains
reasonably
designed
to
assess
and
manage
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk;
(ii.)
the
LRMP,
including
the
Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum
(“HLIM”)
where
applicable,
was
implemented
and
operated
effectively
to
achieve
the
goal
of
assessing
and
managing
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk;
and
(iii.)
each
Fund
was
able
to
meet
requests
for
redemption
without
significant
dilution
of
remaining
investors’
interests
in
the
Fund.
