Franklin Universal Trust Declares Monthly Distribution <\/b><\/p>\n

SAN MATEO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nFranklin Universal Trust [NYSE: FT], a closed-end investment company managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc., announced today a distribution of $0.0320 per share, payable December 15, 2020, to shareholders of record on November 30, 2020 (Ex-Dividend Date: November 27, 2020).\n<\/p>\n

\nDistributions may vary based on the Fund\u2019s net investment income. Past distributions are not indicative of future trends.\n<\/p>\n

\nYou may request a copy of the Fund’s current Report to Shareholders by contacting Franklin Templeton\u2019s Fund Information Department at 1-800\/DIAL BEN\u00ae (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\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s investment decisions will produce the desired results. For portfolio management discussions, including information regarding the Fund\u2019s investment strategies, please view the most recent Annual or Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders which can be found at franklintempleton.com or sec.gov.\n<\/p>\n
