Notes to Statements of Investments (unaudited)
1.  ORGANIZATION
Franklin Fund Allocator Series (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company, consisting of twenty-five separate funds, fourteen of which are included in this report (Funds) and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). Certain or all Funds invest primarily in mutual funds (Underlying Funds) and exchange traded funds (ETFs), including affiliated funds managed by Franklin Templeton (FT Underlying Funds).
The accounting policies of the Underlying Funds are outlined in their respective shareholder reports. A copy of the Underlying Funds’ shareholder reports, in which each Fund invests, is available on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website at sec.gov. The Underlying Funds’ shareholder reports are not covered by this report. 
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 Fund’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.
Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at their closing NAV each trading day. ETFs 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.
Debt securities generally trade in the over-the-counter 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.
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.

3.  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. 
4.  INVESTMENTS IN FT UNDERLYING FUNDS
The Funds, which are managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc. (Advisers) and/or administered by Franklin Templeton Services, LLC (FT Services), invest in FT Underlying Funds which are managed by Advisers or an affiliate of Advisers or FT Services. The Funds do not invest in FT Underlying Funds for the purpose of exercising a controlling influence over the management or policies.

5.  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.

6.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the Statements of Investments and determined that no events have occurred that require disclosure, except for the following:
The Board of Trustees of the Trust recently approved a proposal to reposition the Franklin Founding Funds Allocation Fund (Fund), subject to shareholder approval of certain matters. Among other things, the repositioning of the Fund as a directly managed allocation fund would involve entering into an investment management agreement with Franklin Advisers, Inc., changing the name of the Fund to the “Franklin Global Multi-Asset Fund” and modifying the Fund’s principal investment strategies and goals. It is expected to be completed early 2021.
