1. Effective January 9, 2025, investments
of $250,000 or more in Class A shares will not be charged a sales charge, but will be subject to a 1%
contingent deferred sales charge, if sold within 18 months of purchase. Therefore, the following is added
to the end of footnote 1 under the “Shareholder Fees” table in the section titled “Fund Summary
– Fees and Expenses of the Fund” in the Fund’s Prospectus:
Effective January 9, 2025, this 1% contingent deferred sales charge will be applied to investments of $250,000 or more for shares sold within 18 months of purchase.
2. Effective January 9, 2025, the following replaces the table as it pertains to the Fund in the section titled “Your Account – Choosing a Share Class – Class A, C & R” in the Fund’s Prospectus:
Sales Charges - Class A
when you invest this amount | the sales charge makes up this | which equals this
% of |
Under $25,000 | 5.50 | 5.82 |
$25,000 but under $50,000 | 5.25 | 5.54 |

$100,000 but under $250,000 | 3.50 | 3.63 |
$250,000 or more | 0.00 | 0.00 |
1. The dollar amount of the sales charge is the difference between the offering price of the shares purchased (which factors in the applicable sales charge in this table) and the net asset value of those shares. Since the offering price is calculated to two decimal places using standard rounding criteria, the number of shares purchased and the dollar amount of the sales charge as a percentage of the offering price and of your net investment may be higher or lower depending on whether there was a downward or upward rounding.
3. Effective January 9, 2025, the following replaces the disclosure as it pertains to the Fund in the section titled “Your Account – Choosing a Share Class – Investments of $1 Million or More” in the Fund’s Prospectus:
Investments of $250,000 or More
If you invest $250,000 or more, either as a lump sum or through our cumulative quantity discount or letter of intent programs, you can buy Class A shares without an initial sales charge. However, there is a 1% CDSC on any shares you sell within 18 months of purchase. See “Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) -Class A & C” for information on the calculation of CDSC.
4. Effective January 9, 2025, the following replaces the table as it pertains to the Fund in the section titled “Your Account – Account Policies – Dealer Compensation” in the Fund’s Prospectus:

1.
Commission includes advance of the first year's 0.25% 12b-1 service fee. Distributors may pay a prepaid
commission. However, Distributors does not pay a prepaid commission on any purchases by Employer Sponsored
Retirement Plans.
2. For purchases at NAV where Distributors paid a prepaid commission, dealers may start to receive the 12b-1 fee in the 13th month after purchase. For purchases at NAV where Distributors did not pay a prepaid commission, dealers may start to receive the 12b-1 fee at the time of purchase.
3. Under the Distribution Plan for Class A, the Managed Income Fund may pay up to 0.35% to Distributors or others, out of which 0.10% generally will be retained by Distributors for its distribution expenses. The board of trustees has currently determined to set such fees under the Plan at 0.25% (until further notice), thus reducing the amount that will be retained by Distributors.
4. Dealers may be eligible to receive up to 0.25% at the time of purchase and may be eligible to receive 1% starting in the 13th month. During the first 12 months, the full 12b-1 fee will be paid to Distributors to partially offset the commission and the prepaid service fee paid at the time of purchase. For purchases at NAV where Distributors did not pay a prepaid commission, dealers may start to receive the 12b-1 fee at the time of purchase. After approximately eight years, Class C shares convert to Class A shares and dealers may then be eligible to receive the 12b-1 fee applicable to Class A.
5. Effective January 9, 2025, the following replaces the table as it pertains to the Fund in the section titled “Buying and Selling Shares – Initial sales charges – Financial intermediary compensation” in the Fund’s SAI:

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of the period. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Example reflects adjustments made to the Fund's operating expenses due to the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by management for the 1 Year numbers only. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

MANAGED INCOME FUND
SUMMARY PROSPECTUS
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities
(or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs
and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are
not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During
the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was
The Fund seeks income by investing in a combination of fixed or floating rate corporate, agency and government bonds issued in the United States and other countries, as well as common stocks of companies in any market capitalization range and convertible securities. The Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing in equity securities and convertible securities of companies from a variety of industries.
The Fund generally invests in investment grade debt securities, but may invest up to 10% of its total assets in non-convertible bonds rated below investment grade. The Fund may invest in debt securities of any duration. The Fund does not currently anticipate investing more than 25% of its total assets in securities of issuers domiciled outside the United States.
The Fund also invests in equity-linked notes, which are hybrid derivative-type instruments that are specially designed to combine the characteristics of one or more reference securities (usually a single stock, a stock index or a basket of stocks (underlying securities)) and a related equity derivative, such as a put or call option, in a single note form.
The Fund may, from time to time, use (i) equity-related derivatives, which may include call and put options on equity securities and equity security indices, futures on equity securities and equity indexes and options on equity index futures, (ii) interest rate derivatives, including interest rate swaps and interest rate/bond futures contracts, (iii) currency derivatives, including forward foreign currency exchange

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS
contracts, currency futures contracts, currency swaps and currency options and (iv) credit-related derivatives, such as credit default swaps and options on credit default swaps for various purposes, including enhancing Fund returns, increasing liquidity, gaining exposure to particular instruments or markets in more efficient or less expensive ways and/or hedging risks. The use of such derivative transactions may allow the Fund to obtain net long or net short exposures to selected securities, markets, interest rates, countries, currencies, credits or durations.
The investment manager applies a “bottom-up” approach to investing in individual securities. The investment manager will assess the market price of a company’s securities relative to the investment manager’s evaluation of the company’s long-term earnings, asset value and cash flow potential. The investment manager also considers a company’s price/earnings ratio, profit margins and liquidation value. In determining an optimal mix of equity and fixed-income investments for the Fund, the investment manager assesses changing economic, market and industry conditions.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund employs a managed distribution policy that is designed to provide shareholders with regular distributions from their investment. Under this policy, the Fund distributes twelve level monthly payments throughout each calendar year to enable shareholders to estimate the distributions they will receive from the Fund; however, the twelfth monthly payment may be greater than the initially anticipated amount if additional income or capital gains are required to be distributed. The targeted annual payout rate for all share classes is between approximately 2.75% and 6.25% per share based on the last net asset value of the Fund of the prior calendar year in which the distribution is being made (e.g., for distributions made in 2024, the targeted annual payout rate for all share classes will be based on the Fund’s net asset value on December 31, 2023). The distribution rate will vary by class based on the expenses of each class. Every year, the investment manager will undertake to determine if an adjustment should be made to the monthly rate.
It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund notwithstanding the managed distribution policy. There can be no assurance or guarantee that the Fund will provide a fixed stable level of distributions at any time or over any period of time. An investment in the Fund could lose money over short, intermediate, or even long periods of time.

FRANKLIN
MANAGED INCOME FUND
SUMMARY PROSPECTUS
Market: The market values of securities or other investments owned by the Fund will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. The market value of a security or other investment may be reduced by market activity or other results of supply and demand unrelated to the issuer. This is a basic risk associated with all investments. When there are more sellers than buyers, prices tend to fall. Likewise, when there are more buyers than sellers, prices tend to rise.
Stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of debt securities. A slower-growth or recessionary economic environment could have an adverse effect on the prices of the various stocks held by the Fund.
Credit: An issuer of debt securities may fail to make interest payments or repay principal when due, in whole or in part. Changes in an issuer's financial strength or in a security's or government's credit rating may affect a security's value.
Interest Rate: When interest rates rise, debt security prices generally fall. The opposite is also generally true: debt security prices rise when interest rates fall. Interest rate changes are influenced by a number of factors, including government policy, monetary policy, inflation expectations, perceptions of risk, and supply of and demand for bonds. In general, securities with longer maturities or durations are more sensitive to interest rate changes.
Managed Distribution Policy: The Fund's monthly payments under the managed distribution policy may reduce the amount of assets available for investment by the Fund, even if the Fund's assets grow over time. In addition, the Fund may return capital to shareholders (i.e., a return of all or part of a shareholder's original investment). Fund shareholders are expected to receive a monthly distribution that is equal to a set percentage per share, which will be different per class based on differences in class expenses, multiplied by the number of shares owned on the record date; therefore, redemptions from a shareholder’s account will reduce future distributions. The managed distribution policy is not designed to generate, and is not expected to result in, distributions that equal a fixed percentage of the Fund's current net asset value per share or a fixed percentage of a shareholder’s current account value.
Equity-Linked Notes (ELNs): ELNs may not perform as expected and could cause the Fund to realize significant losses including its entire principal investment. Other risks include counterparty risk, liquidity risk and imperfect correlation between ELNs and the underlying securities.
Convertible Securities: Convertible securities are subject to the risks of stocks when the underlying stock price is high relative to the conversion price (because more of the security's value resides in the conversion feature) and debt securities when the underlying stock price is low relative to the conversion price (because the conversion feature is less valuable). A convertible security is not as sensitive to

FRANKLIN
MANAGED INCOME FUND
SUMMARY PROSPECTUS
interest rate changes as a similar non-convertible debt security, and generally has less potential for gain or loss than the underlying stock.
High-Yield Debt Securities: Issuers of lower-rated or “high-yield” debt securities (also known as “junk bonds”) are not as strong financially as those issuing higher credit quality debt instruments. High-yield debt instruments are generally considered predominantly speculative by the applicable rating agencies as their issuers are more likely to encounter financial difficulties because they may be more highly leveraged, or because of other considerations. In addition, high yield debt instruments generally are more vulnerable to changes in the relevant economy, such as a recession or a sustained period of rising interest rates, that could affect their ability to make interest and principal payments when due. The prices of high-yield debt instruments generally fluctuate more than those of higher credit quality. High-yield debt instruments are generally more illiquid (harder to sell) and harder to value.
Derivative Instruments: The performance of derivative instruments depends largely on the performance of an underlying instrument, such as a currency, security, interest rate or index, and such instruments often have risks similar to their underlying instrument, in addition to other risks. Derivative instruments involve costs and can create economic leverage in the Fund's portfolio which may result in significant volatility and cause the Fund to participate in losses (as well as gains) in an amount that exceeds the Fund's initial investment. Other risks include illiquidity, mispricing or improper valuation of the derivative instrument, and imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and the underlying instrument so that the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When a derivative is used for hedging, the change in value of the derivative may also not correlate specifically with the currency, security, interest rate index or other risk being hedged. With over-the-counter derivatives, there is the risk that the other party to the transaction will fail to perform.
Foreign Securities (non-U.S.): Investing in foreign securities typically involves more risks than investing in U.S. securities, including risks related to currency exchange rates and policies, country or government specific issues, less favorable trading practices or regulation and greater price volatility. Certain of these risks also may apply to securities of U.S. companies with significant foreign operations. The risks of investing in foreign securities are typically greater in less developed or emerging market countries.
Management: The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Fund's investment manager applies investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results.

MANAGED INCOME FUND
SUMMARY PROSPECTUS
Cybersecurity: Cybersecurity incidents, both intentional and unintentional, may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to Fund assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, cause the Fund, the investment manager, and/or their service providers (including, but not limited to, Fund accountants, custodians, sub-custodians, transfer agents and financial intermediaries) to suffer data breaches, data corruption or loss of operational functionality or prevent Fund investors from purchasing redeeming or exchanging or receiving distributions. The investment manager has limited ability to prevent or mitigate cybersecurity incidents affecting third party service providers, and such third party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the Fund or the investment manager. Cybersecurity incidents may result in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders, and substantial costs may be incurred in an effort to prevent or mitigate future cybersecurity incidents. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests are also subject to cybersecurity risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cybersecurity incidents.
Because technology is frequently changing, new ways to carry out cyber attacks are always developing. Therefore, there is a chance that some risks have not been identified or prepared for, or that an attack may not be detected, which puts limitations on the Fund's ability to plan for or respond to a cyber attack. Like other funds and business enterprises, the Fund, the investment manager, and their service providers are subject to the risk of cyber incidents occurring from time to time.
The indices in the table below show how the Fund's performance compares to: (1) a blended benchmark of equity and fixed income indices that is proportionate to the Fund's approximate allocation to equity and fixed income investments; (2) the equity securities market as a whole; and (3) the fixed income market as a whole.

The after-tax returns presented in the table are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-advantaged arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown only for Class A and after-tax returns for other classes will vary.

account, in which case your distributions would generally be taxed when withdrawn from the tax-advantaged account.
Due to the Fund’s managed distribution policy, the Fund’s monthly distributions may consist of a return of capital, which will have the effect of reducing your cost basis in the Fund's shares and thereby increasing the amount of capital gain, if any, or decreasing the amount of capital loss, if any, that you will realize when selling or exchanging Fund shares.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial advisor or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
