April 18 2018 - 4:05PM
Franklin Universal Trust (NYSE:FT), a closed-end investment company
managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc., announced today a distribution
of $0.0320 per share, payable May 15, 2018, to shareholders of
record on April 30, 2018 (Ex-Dividend Date: April 27, 2018).
Distributions may vary based on the Fund’s net
investment income. Past distributions are not indicative of future
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

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.
