Fund Description

The fund was incepted in April 1987 and is managed by Franklin Advisers. The main objective of the fund is to maximize total return, consistent with reasonable risk, by seeking to optimize capital appreciation and high current income under varying market conditions. The fund invests mainly 80% of its assets in convertible securities, which generally are bonds or preferred stocks that may be converted within a specified period of time into a set amount of common stock at a prestated price. The fund offers dividends quarterly. Capital gains, if any, are distributed annually.
