The fund seeks to replicate the performance of the Franklin Canadian Low Volatility High Dividend Index NTR (the "FLVC Index"). The FLVC Index is designed to provide stable income through investment in stocks of profitable Canadian companies with relatively high dividend yields and lower price and earnings volatility. The FLVC Index is composed of stocks of Canadian companies across a wide range of market capitalizations and the FLVC Index is reconstituted once a year and rebalanced quarterly. Stocks whose yields are not supported by earnings are excluded from consideration.
