1.
Organization
Franklin
Custodian
Funds (Trust)
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(1940
Act)
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company,
consisting
of six
separate
funds
(Funds)
and
applies
the
specialized
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
U.S.
Generally
Accepted
Accounting
Principles
(U.S.
GAAP). 
2. 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. 
Equity
securities
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
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.
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.
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. 
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
Funds’ 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
Funds’
portfolio
Franklin

34
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
Funds'
portfolio
securities
to
the
latest
indications
of
fair
value
at 4
p.m.
Eastern
time.
At
December
31,
2020,
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.
See
the

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
Funds’
NAV
is
not
calculated,
which
could
result
in
differences
between
the
value
of
the
Funds’
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
Funds for
financial
reporting
purposes.
3.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
Certain
or
all
Funds
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.
Collateral
requirements
differ
by
type
of
derivative.
Collateral
or
initial
margin
requirements
are
set
by
the
broker
or
exchange
clearing
house
for
exchange
traded
and
centrally
cleared
derivatives.
Initial
margin
deposited
is
held
at
the
exchange
and
can
be
in
the
form
of
cash
and/or
securities.
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
the
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
Funds’ 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.
Certain
or
all
Funds purchased
or
wrote
exchange
traded
option
contracts
primarily
to
manage
and/or
gain
exposure
to
equity
price
risk.
An
option
is
a
contract
entitling
the
holder
to
purchase
or
sell
a
specific
amount
of
shares
or
units
of
an
asset
or
notional
amount
of
a
swap
(swaption),
at
a
specified
price.
When
an
option
is
purchased
or
written,
an
amount
equal
to
the
premium
paid
or
received
is
recorded
as
an
asset
or
liability,
respectively.
Upon
exercise
of
an
option,
the
acquisition
cost
or
sales
proceeds
of
the
underlying
investment
is
adjusted
by
any
premium
received
or
paid.
Upon
expiration
of
an
option,
any
premium
received
or
paid
is
recorded
as
a
realized
gain
or
loss.
Upon
closing
an
option
other
than
through
expiration
or
exercise,
the
difference
between
the
premium
received
or
paid
and
the
cost
to
close
the
position
is
recorded
as
a
realized
gain
or
loss.

Mortgage
Dollar
Rolls 
Franklin
U.S.
Government
Securities
Fund
enters
into
mortgage
dollar
rolls,
typically
on
a
to-be-announced
basis.
Mortgage
dollar
rolls
are
agreements
between
the
Fund
and
a
financial
institution
where
the
Fund
sells
(or
buys)
mortgage-backed
securities
for
delivery
on
a
specified
date
and
simultaneously
contracts
to
repurchase
(or
sell)
substantially
similar
(same
type,
coupon,
and
maturity)
securities
at
a
future
date
and
at
a
predetermined
price.
Gains
or
losses
are
realized
on
the
initial
sale,
and
the
difference
between
the
repurchase
price
and
the
sale
price
is
recorded
as
an
unrealized
gain
or
loss
to
the
Fund
upon
entering
into
the
mortgage
dollar
roll.
In
addition,
the
Fund
may
invest
the
cash
proceeds
that
are
received
from
the
initial
sale.
During
the
period
between
the
sale
and
repurchase,
the
Fund
is
not
entitled
to
principal
and
interest
paid
on
the
mortgage
backed
securities.
Transactions
in
mortgage
dollar
rolls
are
accounted
for
as
purchases
and
sales
and
may
result
in
an
increase
to
the
Fund’s
portfolio
turnover
rate.
The
risks
of
mortgage
dollar
roll
transactions
include
the
potential
inability
of
the
counterparty
to
fulfill
its
obligations.

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.

8. 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.
