The Statement of Additional Information is amended as follows:

 

I.              For all funds (excluding the Franklin Focused Growth Fund, Franklin Conservative Allocation Fund, Franklin Corefolio Allocation Fund, Franklin Founding Funds Allocation Fund, Franklin Growth Allocation Fund, Franklin Moderate Allocation Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM Retirement Income Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM 2020 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM 2025 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM 2030 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM 2035 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM 2040 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM 2045 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM 2050 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM 2055 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin Emerging Market Debt Opportunities Fund, Franklin Strategic Mortgage Portfolio, Templeton Global Currency Fund, Franklin India Growth Fund and Templeton China World Fund), the “Goals, Strategies and Risks – Foreign securities” section is revised to add the following after the seventh paragraph:

 

 

On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom voted via referendum to leave the European Union (EU), which immediately led to significant market volatility around the world, as well as political, economic, and legal uncertainty. It is generally expected that the United Kingdom’s exit from the EU will take place within two years after the United Kingdom formally notifies the European Council of its intention to withdraw, but there is still considerable uncertainty relating to the potential consequences and timeframe for the exit.  The consequences and timeframe of the exit; how the negotiations for the withdrawal and new trade agreements will be conducted; and whether the United Kingdom’s exit will increase the likelihood of other countries also departing the EU, may increase market volatility across the global economy. During this period of uncertainty, the negative impact on, not only the United Kingdom and European economies, but the broader global economy, could be significant, potentially resulting in increased volatility and illiquidity and lower economic growth for companies that rely significantly on Europe for their business activities and revenues. Any further exits from the EU, or an increase in the belief that such exits are likely or possible, would likely cause additional market disruption globally and introduce new legal and regulatory uncertainties.

 

II.         For the Franklin Focused Growth Fund, Franklin Conservative Allocation Fund, Franklin Corefolio Allocation Fund, Franklin Founding Funds Allocation Fund, Franklin Growth Allocation Fund, Franklin Moderate Allocation Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM Retirement Income Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM 2020 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM 2025 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM 2030 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM 2035 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM 2040 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM 2045 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM 2050 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM 2055 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin Emerging Market Debt Opportunities Fund, Franklin Strategic Mortgage Portfolio, Templeton Global Currency Fund, Franklin India Growth Fund and Templeton China World Fund, the “Goals, Strategies and Risks – Foreign securities” section is revised to add the following after the seventh paragraph:

The 2016 referendum in which the United Kingdom voted to exit the European Union (EU) has caused, and may continue to cause, market volatility in various regional markets due to political, economic and legal uncertainty.  In addition, if one or more countries were to exit the EU or abandon the use of the Euro as a currency, the value of investments associated with those countries or the Euro could decline significantly and unpredictably and it would likely cause additional market disruption globally and introduce new legal and regulatory uncertainties.
