Effective January 1, 2013, each of the Franklin Templeton Conservative Allocation Fund, Franklin Templeton Moderate Allocation Fund and Franklin Templeton Growth Allocation Fund will transition its short-term investments (money market) strategic allocation to fixed-income funds, and as a result of this change will remove the Payden & Rygel 90 Day U.S. Treasury Bill Index as one of the secondary benchmark indices for performance comparisons.
Also effective January 1, 2013, each of the Franklin Templeton Conservative Allocation Fund, Franklin Templeton Moderate Allocation Fund, Franklin Templeton Growth Allocation Fund, Franklin Templeton 2015 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin Templeton 2025 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin Templeton 2035 Retirement Target Fund and Franklin Templeton 2045 Retirement Target Fund may increase its investments in third-party sponsored exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) from 5% of its net assets to 10% of its net assets.
Effective January 1, 2013, the Prospectus is amended as follows:
I. For the Franklin Templeton Conservative Allocation Fund, the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs of the “FUND SUMMARY – Principal Investment Strategies” section are replaced as follows:
Under normal market conditions, the investment manager allocates 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. These underlying funds, in turn, invest in a variety of U.S. and foreign equity and fixed-income securities.
The investment manager uses the following as a general guide in allocating the Fund’s assets among the broad asset classes. These percentages may be changed from time to time by the Fund’s investment manager without the approval of shareholders, and may vary up to 5% from the stated allocations: 60% fixed-income funds; and 40% equity funds.
II. For the Franklin Templeton Moderate Allocation Fund, the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs of the “FUND SUMMARY – Principal Investment Strategies” section are replaced as follows:
Under normal market conditions, the investment manager allocates 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. These underlying funds, in turn, invest in a variety of U.S. and foreign equity and fixed-income securities.
The investment manager uses the following as a general guide in allocating the Fund’s assets among the broad asset classes. These percentages may be changed from time to time by the Fund’s investment manager without the approval of shareholders, and may vary up to 5% from the stated allocations: 55% equity funds; and 45% fixed-income funds.
III. For the Franklin Templeton Growth Allocation Fund, the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs of the “FUND SUMMARY – Principal Investment Strategies” section are replaced as follows:
Under normal market conditions, the investment manager allocates 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. These underlying funds, in turn, invest in a variety of U.S. and foreign equity and fixed-income securities.
The investment manager uses the following as a general guide in allocating the Fund’s assets among the broad asset classes. These percentages may be changed from time to time by the Fund’s investment manager without the approval of shareholders, and may vary up to 5% from the stated allocations: 80% equity funds; and 20% fixed-income funds.
IV. For each of the Franklin Templeton Conservative Allocation Fund, Franklin Templeton Moderate Allocation Fund and Franklin Templeton Growth Allocation Fund, the “FUND SUMMARY – Performance” section is revised by deleting the reference to Payden & Rygel 90 Day U.S. Treasury Bill Index as a secondary benchmark.
V. For each of the Franklin Templeton Conservative Allocation Fund, Franklin Templeton Moderate Allocation Fund and Franklin Templeton Growth Allocation Fund, the 1st and 2nd paragraphs of the “FUND DETAILS – Principal Investment Policies and Practices” section are replaced as follows:
Under normal market conditions, the investment manager allocates each Fund's assets among the broad asset classes of equity and fixed-income investments by investing primarily in a distinctly-weighted combination of other mutual funds, predominantly other Franklin Templeton mutual funds (underlying funds) based on each underlying fund's predominant asset class. A small portion of each Fund’s assets may be invested in exchange traded funds (ETFs). In addition, a small portion of the Fund’s assets may be invested in underlying funds that provide exposure to commodities. These underlying funds and ETFs, in turn, invest in a variety of U.S. and foreign equity and fixed-income securities. The investment policies of the various underlying funds are described in the section called "Information about the Underlying Franklin Templeton Funds."
Following is a general guide the investment manager uses in allocating each of the Fund's assets among the broad asset classes. These percentages may be changed from time to time by the Funds' investment manager without the approval of shareholders, and may vary up to 5% from the stated allocations.

VI. For each of the Franklin Templeton 2015 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin Templeton 2025 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin Templeton 2035 Retirement Target Fund and Franklin Templeton 2045 Retirement Target Fund, the 2nd paragraph of the “FUND DETAILS – Principal Investment Policies and Practices” section is replaced as follows:
Under normal market conditions, the investment manager allocates each Fund’s assets among the broad asset classes of equity, fixed-income and short-term (money market) investments by investing primarily in a distinctly-weighted combination of underlying funds, based on each underlying fund’s predominant asset class. A small portion of each Fund’s assets may be invested in exchange traded funds (ETFs). In addition, a small portion of the Fund’s assets may be invested in underlying funds that provide exposure to commodities. The underlying funds and ETFs invest in a variety of U.S. and foreign equity, fixed-income and money market securities. The investment policies of the various underlying funds are described in this Prospectus in the section called “Information about the Underlying Franklin Templeton Funds.”
VII. For all Funds, the “FUND DETAILS – Principal Risks” section is revised by adding the paragraph as follows:
Investing in ETFs The Fund's investment in ETFs may subject the Fund to additional risks than if the Fund would have invested directly in the ETFs’ underlying securities. These risks include the possibility that an ETF may experience a lack of liquidity that can result in greater volatility than its underlying securities; an ETF may trade at a premium or discount to its net asset value; or an ETF may not replicate exactly the performance of the benchmark index it seeks to track. In addition, investing in an ETF may also be more costly than if a Fund had owned the underlying securities directly. The Fund, and indirectly, shareholders of the Fund, bears a proportionate share of the ETF's expenses, which include management and advisory fees and other expenses. In addition, the Fund pays brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase and sale of shares of ETFs.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Statement of Additional Information is amended as follows:
I. For each Statement of Additional Information, the 3rd paragraph in the section entitled “Goal, Strategies and Risks – Glossary of Investments, Techniques, Strategies and Their Risks” is revised as follows:
The Fund pursues its investment goal by investing primarily in a distinctly-weighted combination of underlying funds, predominantly other Franklin Templeton funds (underlying funds). The Fund may also invest up to 5% of its assets directly in the types of securities in which the underlying funds invest, and may invest up to 10% of its assets in exchange traded funds. In investing in underlying Franklin Templeton mutual funds, the Funds rely on Rule 12d1-2 under the 1940 Act, which permits the Fund to invest in such underlying funds without limit.
II. For each Statement of Additional Information, the section entitled “Investment company securities – Exchange-traded funds” is revised as follows:
Exchange-traded funds. The Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). ETFs are regulated as registered investment companies under the 1940 Act. Many ETFs acquire and hold securities of all of the companies or other issuers, or a representative sampling of companies or other issuers that are components of a particular index. Such ETFs are intended to provide investment results that, before expenses, generally correspond to the price and yield performance of the corresponding market index, and the value of their shares should, under normal circumstances, closely track the value of the index's underlying component securities. Because an ETF has operating expenses and transaction costs, while a market index does not, ETFs that track particular indices typically will be unable to match the performance of the index exactly. ETF shares may be purchased and sold in the secondary trading market on a securities exchange, in lots of any size, at any time during the trading day. More recently, actively managed ETFs have been created that are managed similarly to other investment companies.
The shares of an ETF may be assembled in a block (typically 50,000 shares) known as a creation unit and redeemed in kind for a portfolio of the underlying securities (based on the ETF's net asset value) together with a cash payment generally equal to accumulated dividends as of the date of redemption. Conversely, a creation unit may be purchased from the ETF by depositing a specified portfolio of the ETF's underlying securities, as well as a cash payment generally equal to accumulated dividends of the securities (net of expenses) up to the time of deposit.
ETF shares, as opposed to creation units, are generally purchased and sold by smaller investors in a secondary market on a securities exchange. ETF shares can be traded in lots of any size, at any time during the trading day. Although the Fund, like most other investors in ETFs, intends to purchase and sell ETF shares primarily in the secondary trading market, the Fund may redeem creation units for the underlying securities (and any applicable cash), and may assemble a portfolio of the underlying securities and use it (and any required cash) to purchase creation units, if the investment manager believes it is in the Fund's best interest to do so.
An investment in an ETF is subject to all of the risks of investing in the securities held by the ETF and have the same risks as investing in a closed-end fund. In addition, because of the ability of large market participants to arbitrage price differences by purchasing or redeeming creation units, the difference between the market value and the net asset value of ETF shares should in most cases be small. An ETF may be terminated and need to liquidate its portfolio securities at a time when the prices for those securities are falling.

| Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | The Fund is a "fund of funds" meaning that it seeks to achieve its investment goal by investing its assets in other mutual funds, predominately other Franklin Templeton mutual funds (underlying funds). The Fund is designed for investors seeking the highest level of long-term total return that is consistent with a lower level of risk. The Fund may be most appropriate for investors with a shorter investment horizon. Under normal market conditions, the investment manager allocates the Funds assets among the broad asset classes of equity, fixed-income and short-term (money market) investments by investing primarily in a distinctly-weighted combination of underlying funds, based on each underlying fund's predominant asset class. These underlying funds, in turn, invest in a variety of U.S. and foreign equity, fixed-income and money market securities. The investment manager uses the following as a general guide in allocating the Funds assets among the broad asset classes. These percentages may be changed from time to time by the Funds investment manager without the approval of shareholders, and may vary up to 5% from the stated allocations: 20% short-term investments; 40% equity funds; and 40% fixed-income funds. Effective January 1, 2013, under normal market conditions, the investment manager allocates the Funds 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. These underlying funds, in turn, invest in a variety of U.S. and foreign equity and fixed-income securities. Effective January 1, 2013, the investment manager will use the following as a general guide in allocating the Funds assets among the broad asset classes. These percentages may be changed from time to time by the Funds investment manager without the approval of shareholders, and may vary up to 5% from the stated allocations: 60% fixed-income funds; and 40% equity funds. 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 focuses primarily on maximizing income, appropriate to the Funds risk profile. In evaluating the risk level of the underlying funds, the investment manager analyzes such factors as: (a) relative and absolute performance, including correlations with other underlying funds as well as corresponding benchmarks, and (b) their volatility (the variability of returns from one period to the next). The investment manager will vary the underlying funds allocation percentages based upon the Funds risk/return level. No more than 25% of the Funds assets may be invested in any one underlying fund, except that the Fund may invest up to 50% of its total assets in Franklin Limited Maturity U.S. Government Securities Fund and Franklin U.S. Government Securities Fund. |
||||||||||
| Risk [Heading] | rr_RiskHeading | Principal Risks | ||||||||||
| Risk Narrative [Text Block] | rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock | You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Mutual fund shares are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other agency of the U.S. government. Asset Allocation The Funds ability to achieve its investment goal depends upon the investment managers skill in determining the Funds broad asset allocation mix and selecting underlying funds. There is the possibility that the investment managers evaluations and assumptions regarding asset classes and underlying funds will not successfully achieve the Fund's investment goal in view of actual market trends. Investing in Underlying Funds Because the Funds investments are concentrated in the underlying funds, and the Funds performance is directly related to the performance of the underlying funds held by it, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment goal is directly related to the ability of the underlying funds to meet their investment goal. In addition, shareholders of the Fund will indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the underlying funds. The risks described below are the principal risks of the Fund and the underlying funds. For purposes of the discussion below, Fund means the Fund and/or one or more of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. Interest Rate When interest rates rise, debt security prices generally fall. The opposite is also generally true: debt security prices rise when interest rates fall. In general, securities with longer maturities are more sensitive to these interest rate changes. Income Because the Fund can only distribute what it earns, the Fund's distributions to shareholders may decline when prevailing interest rates fall or when the Fund experiences defaults on debt securities it holds. Credit An issuer of debt securities may fail to make interest payments and repay principal when due, in whole or in part. Changes in an issuer's financial strength or in a security's credit rating may affect a security's value. While securities issued by Ginnie Mae are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, not all securities of the various U.S. government agencies are, including those of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Also guarantees of principal and interest do not apply to market prices, yields or the Funds share price. While the U.S. government has recently provided financial support to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will always do so, since the U.S. government is not so obligated by law. Market The market values of securities owned by the Fund will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. A securitys market value may be reduced by market activity or other results of supply and demand unrelated to the issuer. This is a basic risk associated with all securities. When there are more sellers than buyers, prices tend to fall. Likewise, when there are more buyers than sellers, prices tend to rise. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of other types of investments. A slower-growth or recessionary economic environment could have an adverse effect on the prices of the various stocks held by the Fund. Smaller and Midsize Companies Securities issued by smaller and midsize companies may be more volatile in price than those of larger companies, involve substantial risks and should be considered speculative. Such risks may include greater sensitivity to economic conditions, less certain growth prospects, lack of depth of management and funds for growth and development and limited or less developed product lines and markets. In addition, smaller and midsize companies may be particularly affected by interest rate increases, as they may find it more difficult to borrow money to continue or expand operations, or may have difficulty in repaying any loans. Foreign Securities Investing in foreign securities typically involves more risks than investing in U.S. securities, and includes risks associated with: political and economic developments - the political, economic and social structures of some foreign countries may be less stable and more volatile than those in the U.S.; trading practices - government supervision and regulation of foreign securities and currency markets, trading systems and brokers may be less than in the U.S.; availability of information - foreign issuers may not be subject to the same disclosure, accounting and financial reporting standards and practices as U.S. issuers; limited markets - the securities of certain foreign issuers may be less liquid (harder to sell) and more volatile; and currency exchange rate fluctuations and policies. The risks of foreign investments may be greater in developing or emerging market countries. Focus To the extent that the Fund focuses on particular countries, regions, industries, sectors or types of investment from time to time, the Fund 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. Derivative Instruments The performance of derivative instruments (including currency-related derivatives) depends largely on the performance of an underlying currency, security or index, and such instruments often have risks similar to their underlying instrument, in addition to other risks. Derivatives involve costs and can create economic leverage in the Fund's portfolio which may result in significant volatility and cause the Fund to participate in losses (as well as gains) in an amount that exceeds the Fund's initial investment. Other risks include illiquidity, mispricing or improper valuation of the derivative instrument, and imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and the underlying instrument so that the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of the derivative may also not correlate specifically with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. With over-the-counter derivatives, there is the risk that the other party to the transaction will fail to perform. Growth Style Investing Growth stock prices reflect projections of future earnings or revenues, and can, therefore, fall dramatically if the company fails to meet those projections. Prices of these companies securities may be more volatile than other securities, particularly over the short term. Value Style Investing A value stock may not increase in price as anticipated by the investment manager if other investors fail to recognize the company's value and bid up the price, the markets favor faster-growing companies, or the factors that the investment manager believes will increase the price of the security do not occur. Prepayment Prepayment risk occurs when a debt security can be repaid in whole or in part prior to the security's maturity and the Fund must reinvest the proceeds it receives, during periods of declining interest rates, in securities that pay a lower rate of interest. Management The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Fund's investment manager applies investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. |

| Strategy [Heading] | rr_StrategyHeading | Principal Investment Strategies | ||||||||||
| Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | The Fund is a "fund of funds" meaning that it seeks to achieve its investment goal by investing its assets in other mutual funds, predominately other Franklin Templeton mutual funds (underlying funds). The Fund is designed for investors seeking the highest level of long-term total return that is consistent with a moderate level of risk. The Fund may be most appropriate for investors with an intermediate investment horizon. Under normal market conditions, the investment manager allocates the Funds assets among the broad asset classes of equity, fixed-income and short-term (money market) investments by investing primarily in a distinctly-weighted combination of underlying funds, based on each underlying fund's predominant asset class. These underlying funds, in turn, invest in a variety of U.S. and foreign equity, fixed-income and money market securities. The investment manager uses the following as a general guide in allocating the Funds assets among the broad asset classes. These percentages may be changed from time to time by the Funds investment manager without the approval of shareholders, and may vary up to 5% from the stated allocations: 10% short-term investments; 55% equity funds; and 35% fixed-income funds. Effective January 1, 2013, under normal market conditions, the investment manager allocates the Funds 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. These underlying funds, in turn, invest in a variety of U.S. and foreign equity and fixed-income securities. Effective January 1, 2013, the investment manager will use the following as a general guide in allocating the Funds assets among the broad asset classes. These percentages may be changed from time to time by the Funds investment manager without the approval of shareholders, and may vary up to 5% from the stated allocations: 55% equity funds; and 45% fixed-income funds. 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 focuses primarily on maximizing income, appropriate to the Funds risk profile. In evaluating the risk level of the underlying funds, the investment manager analyzes such factors as: (a) relative and absolute performance, including correlations with other underlying funds as well as corresponding benchmarks, and (b) their volatility (the variability of returns from one period to the next). The investment manager will vary the underlying funds allocation percentages based upon the Funds risk/return level. No more than 25% of the Funds assets may be invested in any one underlying fund, except that the Fund may invest up to 50% of its total assets in Franklin Limited Maturity U.S. Government Securities Fund and Franklin U.S. Government Securities Fund. |
||||||||||
| Risk [Heading] | rr_RiskHeading | Principal Risks | ||||||||||
| Risk Narrative [Text Block] | rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock | You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Mutual fund shares are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other agency of the U.S. government. Asset Allocation The Funds ability to achieve its investment goal depends upon the investment managers skill in determining the Funds broad asset allocation mix and selecting underlying funds. There is the possibility that the investment managers evaluations and assumptions regarding asset classes and underlying funds will not successfully achieve the Fund's investment goal in view of actual market trends. Investing in Underlying Funds Because the Funds investments are concentrated in the underlying funds, and the Funds performance is directly related to the performance of the underlying funds held by it, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment goal is directly related to the ability of the underlying funds to meet their investment goal. In addition, shareholders of the Fund will indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the underlying funds. The risks described below are the principal risks of the Fund and the underlying funds. For purposes of the discussion below, Fund means the Fund and/or one or more of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. Market The market values of securities owned by the Fund will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. A securitys market value may be reduced by market activity or other results of supply and demand unrelated to the issuer. This is a basic risk associated with all securities. When there are more sellers than buyers, prices tend to fall. Likewise, when there are more buyers than sellers, prices tend to rise. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of other types of investments. A slower-growth or recessionary economic environment could have an adverse effect on the prices of the various stocks held by the Fund. Smaller and Midsize Companies Securities issued by smaller and midsize companies may be more volatile in price than those of larger companies, involve substantial risks and should be considered speculative. Such risks may include greater sensitivity to economic conditions, less certain growth prospects, lack of depth of management and funds for growth and development and limited or less developed product lines and markets. In addition, smaller and midsize companies may be particularly affected by interest rate increases, as they may find it more difficult to borrow money to continue or expand operations, or may have difficulty in repaying any loans. Foreign Securities Investing in foreign securities typically involves more risks than investing in U.S. securities, and includes risks associated with: political and economic developments - the political, economic and social structures of some foreign countries may be less stable and more volatile than those in the U.S.; trading practices - government supervision and regulation of foreign securities and currency markets, trading systems and brokers may be less than in the U.S.; availability of information - foreign issuers may not be subject to the same disclosure, accounting and financial reporting standards and practices as U.S. issuers; limited markets - the securities of certain foreign issuers may be less liquid (harder to sell) and more volatile; and currency exchange rate fluctuations and policies. The risks of foreign investments may be greater in developing or emerging market countries. Interest Rate When interest rates rise, debt security prices generally fall. The opposite is also generally true: debt security prices rise when interest rates fall. In general, securities with longer maturities are more sensitive to these interest rate changes. Income Because the Fund can only distribute what it earns, the Fund's distributions to shareholders may decline when prevailing interest rates fall or when the Fund experiences defaults on debt securities it holds. Credit An issuer of debt securities may fail to make interest payments and repay principal when due, in whole or in part. Changes in an issuer's financial strength or in a security's credit rating may affect a security's value. While securities issued by Ginnie Mae are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, not all securities of the various U.S. government agencies are, including those of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Also guarantees of principal and interest do not apply to market prices, yields or the Funds share price. While the U.S. government has recently provided financial support to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will always do so, since the U.S. government is not so obligated by law. Focus To the extent that the Fund focuses on particular countries, regions, industries, sectors or types of investment from time to time, the Fund 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. Derivative Instruments The performance of derivative instruments (including currency-related derivatives) depends largely on the performance of an underlying currency, security or index, and such instruments often have risks similar to their underlying instrument, in addition to other risks. Derivatives involve costs and can create economic leverage in the Fund's portfolio which may result in significant volatility and cause the Fund to participate in losses (as well as gains) in an amount that exceeds the Fund's initial investment. Other risks include illiquidity, mispricing or improper valuation of the derivative instrument, and imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and the underlying instrument so that the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of the derivative may also not correlate specifically with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. With over-the-counter derivatives, there is the risk that the other party to the transaction will fail to perform. Growth Style Investing Growth stock prices reflect projections of future earnings or revenues, and can, therefore, fall dramatically if the company fails to meet those projections. Prices of these companies securities may be more volatile than other securities, particularly over the short term. Value Style Investing A value stock may not increase in price as anticipated by the investment manager if other investors fail to recognize the company's value and bid up the price, the markets favor faster-growing companies, or the factors that the investment manager believes will increase the price of the security do not occur. Prepayment Prepayment risk occurs when a debt security can be repaid in whole or in part prior to the security's maturity and the Fund must reinvest the proceeds it receives, during periods of declining interest rates, in securities that pay a lower rate of interest. Management The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Fund's investment manager applies investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. |

| Strategy [Heading] | rr_StrategyHeading | Principal Investment Strategies | ||||||||||
| Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | The Fund is a "fund of funds" meaning that it seeks to achieve its investment goal by investing its assets in other mutual funds, predominately other Franklin Templeton mutual funds (underlying funds). The Fund is designed for investors seeking the highest level of long-term total return that is consistent with a higher level of risk. The Fund may be most appropriate for investors with a longer investment horizon. Under normal market conditions, the investment manager allocates the Funds assets among the broad asset classes of equity, fixed-income and short-term (money market) investments by investing primarily in a distinctly-weighted combination of underlying funds, based on each underlying fund's predominant asset class. These underlying funds, in turn, invest in a variety of U.S. and foreign equity, fixed-income and money market securities. The investment manager uses the following as a general guide in allocating the Funds assets among the broad asset classes. These percentages may be changed from time to time by the Funds investment manager without the approval of shareholders, and may vary up to 5% from the stated allocations: 5% short-term investments; 80% equity funds; and 15% fixed-income funds. Effective January 1, 2013, under normal market conditions, the investment manager allocates the Funds 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. These underlying funds, in turn, invest in a variety of U.S. and foreign equity and fixed-income securities. Effective January 1, 2013, the investment manager will use the following as a general guide in allocating the Funds assets among the broad asset classes. These percentages may be changed from time to time by the Funds investment manager without the approval of shareholders, and may vary up to 5% from the stated allocations: 80% equity funds; and 20% fixed-income funds. 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 focuses primarily on maximizing income, appropriate to the Funds risk profile. In evaluating the risk level of the underlying funds, the investment manager analyzes such factors as: (a) relative and absolute performance, including correlations with other underlying funds as well as corresponding benchmarks, and (b) their volatility (the variability of returns from one period to the next). The investment manager will vary the underlying funds allocation percentages based upon the Funds risk/return level. No more than 25% of the Funds assets may be invested in any one underlying fund, except that the Fund may invest up to 50% of its total assets in Franklin Limited Maturity U.S. Government Securities Fund and Franklin U.S. Government Securities Fund. |
||||||||||
| Risk [Heading] | rr_RiskHeading | Principal Risks | ||||||||||
| Risk Narrative [Text Block] | rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock | You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Mutual fund shares are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other agency of the U.S. government. Asset Allocation The Funds ability to achieve its investment goal depends upon the investment managers skill in determining the Funds broad asset allocation mix and selecting underlying funds. There is the possibility that the investment managers evaluations and assumptions regarding asset classes and underlying funds will not successfully achieve the Fund's investment goal in view of actual market trends. Investing in Underlying Funds Because the Funds investments are concentrated in the underlying funds, and the Funds performance is directly related to the performance of the underlying funds held by it, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment goal is directly related to the ability of the underlying funds to meet their investment goal. In addition, shareholders of the Fund will indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the underlying funds. The risks described below are the principal risks of the Fund and the underlying funds. For purposes of the discussion below, Fund means the Fund and/or one or more of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. Market The market values of securities owned by the Fund will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. A securitys market value may be reduced by market activity or other results of supply and demand unrelated to the issuer. This is a basic risk associated with all securities. When there are more sellers than buyers, prices tend to fall. Likewise, when there are more buyers than sellers, prices tend to rise. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of other types of investments. A slower-growth or recessionary economic environment could have an adverse effect on the prices of the various stocks held by the Fund. Growth Style Investing Growth stock prices reflect projections of future earnings or revenues, and can, therefore, fall dramatically if the company fails to meet those projections. Prices of these companies securities may be more volatile than other securities, particularly over the short term. Value Style Investing A value stock may not increase in price as anticipated by the investment manager if other investors fail to recognize the company's value and bid up the price, the markets favor faster-growing companies, or the factors that the investment manager believes will increase the price of the security do not occur. Smaller and Midsize Companies Securities issued by smaller and midsize companies may be more volatile in price than those of larger companies, involve substantial risks and should be considered speculative. Such risks may include greater sensitivity to economic conditions, less certain growth prospects, lack of depth of management and funds for growth and development and limited or less developed product lines and markets. In addition, smaller and midsize companies may be particularly affected by interest rate increases, as they may find it more difficult to borrow money to continue or expand operations, or may have difficulty in repaying any loans. Foreign Securities Investing in foreign securities typically involves more risks than investing in U.S. securities, and includes risks associated with: political and economic developments - the political, economic and social structures of some foreign countries may be less stable and more volatile than those in the U.S.; trading practices - government supervision and regulation of foreign securities and currency markets, trading systems and brokers may be less than in the U.S.; availability of information - foreign issuers may not be subject to the same disclosure, accounting and financial reporting standards and practices as U.S. issuers; limited markets - the securities of certain foreign issuers may be less liquid (harder to sell) and more volatile; and currency exchange rate fluctuations and policies. The risks of foreign investments may be greater in developing or emerging market countries. Focus To the extent that the Fund focuses on particular countries, regions, industries, sectors or types of investment from time to time, the Fund 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. Interest Rate When interest rates rise, debt security prices generally fall. The opposite is also generally true: debt security prices rise when interest rates fall. In general, securities with longer maturities are more sensitive to these interest rate changes. Credit An issuer of debt securities may fail to make interest payments and repay principal when due, in whole or in part. Changes in an issuer's financial strength or in a security's credit rating may affect a security's value. Management The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Fund's investment manager applies investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. |
