The portfolio will be adjusted to overweight asset classes that have historically performed well under inflation conditions similar to the existing environment. To help achieve its strategy, the fund invests primarily in other mutual funds (underlying funds), predominantly other Franklin, Templeton and Mutual Series funds; it also invests a portion of its assets directly in TIPS.
The fund also includes allocations to Franklin Pelagos Commodities Strategy Fund and Franklin Pelagos Managed Futures Strategy Fund, providing additional diversification through two asset classes that traditionally have exhibited lower correlations to equities and fixed income.
