December 15 2017 - 4:05PM
Franklin Universal Trust (NYSE:FT), a closed-end investment company
managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc., announced today a distribution
of $0.032 per share, payable January 12, 2018, to shareholders of
record on December 29, 2017 (Ex-Dividend Date: December 28, 2017).
Distributions may vary based on the Fund’s net

trends.
You may request a copy of the Fund's current Report
to Shareholders by contacting Franklin Templeton’s Fund Information
Department at 1-800/DIAL BEN® (1-800-342-5236) or by visiting
franklintempleton.com. All investments involve risks, including
possible loss of principal. Bond prices generally move in the
opposite direction of interest rates. As the prices of bonds in a
fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the fund’s share price may
decline. Investments in lower-rated bonds include higher risk of
default and loss of principal. Stock prices fluctuate,
sometimes rapidly and dramatically, due to factors affecting
individual companies, particular industries or sectors, or general
market conditions. In addition to other factors, securities issued
by utility companies have historically been sensitive to interest
rate changes. When interest rates fall, utility securities prices,
and thus a utilities fund’s share price, tend to rise; when
interest rates rise, their prices generally fall. The Fund is
actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s
investment decisions will produce the desired results. For
portfolio management discussions, including information regarding
the Fund’s investment strategies, please view the most recent
Annual or Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders which can be found at
franklintempleton.com or sec.gov.
