Risks

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Investments in underlying funds are subject to the same risks as, and indirectly bear the fees and expenses of, the underlying funds. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks, and possible loss of principal. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls. Low-rated, high-yield bonds are subject to greater price volatility, illiquidity and possibility of default. Asset-backed, mortgage-backed or mortgage-related securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks.  International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations and social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on performance. Active management does not ensure gains or protect against market declines. The manager may consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in the research or investment process; however, ESG considerations may not be a determinative factor in security selection. In addition, the manager may not assess every investment for ESG criteria, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated.

Footnotes

  1. Net Asset Value - the amount per share you would receive if you sold shares that day. NAV Change indicates a change in the Net Asset Value from the previous business day.

  2. Public Offering Price – the purchase price for each share of the fund on a given day.  It includes the maximum initial sales charge, if any.

  3. Figures are aggregate total return figures, have not been annualized and represent the change in value of an investment over the period indicated.

  4. Estimated Underlying Fund Expense Ratio - annual expenses of the share class or units of the underlying investments in which Plan portfolios invest. Underlying fund expenses will vary and, in some cases, have been reduced by fee and expense waivers or reimbursements, which may be modified or discontinued at any time, resulting in lower returns. There also may be brokerage fees associated with the purchase or sale of some Underlying Funds such as ETFs that also affect the investment return on amounts invested under the applicable Investment Option.

  5. Program Fee - a total Program fee of 25 basis points (0.25 percent) per annum assessed daily against the assets of each portfolio except the Franklin U.S. Government Money 529 Portfolio. Though that fee is currently not imposed for the Franklin U.S. Government Money 529 Portfolio, it may be imposed in whole or in part at any time, increasing expenses and reducing performance. The Program fee, which is subject to change by HESAA, provides compensation for the services of Franklin Templeton companies and includes the Authority Administrative Fee which compensates HESAA for its program services.

  6. Annual Sales Fee - current annual sales fees of 25 basis points (0.25 percent) per annum for Class A Shares and 100 basis points (1.00 percent) per annum for Class C Shares, assessed in each case against the allocable assets of the applicable Trust Portfolio except for the Franklin U.S. Government Money 529 Portfolio, which is not currently being assessed sales charges. After 6 years from the applicable purchase, Class C Shares convert to Class A Shares and the Annual Sales Fee declines to 0.25%.

  7. Total Annual Asset Based Fee - annual expenses of the share classes of the underlying funds in which Plan portfolios invest. This fee also includes the Program fee and applicable Annual Sales fee. 

  8. Average Annual Total Returns shown "with sales charges" are net of the following: (1) the current annual program fee of 0.25% of plan portfolio assets; (2) the current annual sales fees of 0.25% for Class A Trust Shares and 1.00% for Class C Trust shares (not applicable for Advisor Class); (3) initial sales charges up to 3.75% (Class A) or 1.00% CDSC for periods one year or less (Class C); and (4) annual expenses of the share classes of the underlying mutual funds and ETFs in which Plan portfolios invest, currently up to 1.00% of assets.
