Your investment portfolio | Dividend Strategy ESG

ClearBridge Dividend Strategy ESG Portfolios

Overview• ClearBridge Dividend Strategy ESG Portfolios invest primarily in

dividend-paying stocks that offer the potential for income growthand capital appreciation over time. The investment team believesthat companies that exhibit market leadership, coupled with solidbalance sheets and strong dividend profiles, are attractiveinvestment candidates for the long-term investor.

• The ESG Investment Program actively incorporates environmental,social and governance (ESG) factors into the fundamental researchplatform and into the stock-selection process. In addition, ongoingcompany engagement and shareholder advocacy are keycomponents of the Program.

• A few examples of the ESG considerations include: Innovative workplace policies, employee benefits and programs

Environmental management system strength, eco-efficiency andlife-cycle analysis

Community involvement, strategic philanthropy and reputationmanagement

Strong corporate governance and independence on the board

• ClearBridge is a Signatory to the UN Principles for ResponsibleInvestment, and is affiliated with the Investor Network on ClimateRisk, the Carbon Disclosure Project, the Interfaith Center onCorporate Responsibility, the Global Impact Investing Network,and the US Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment.

Key differentiators• Experience and Judgment Proven, successful team investing in dominant franchises that

pay an attractive dividend yield

• Disciplined Investment Process Strong focus on income growth

Portfolio management does not deviate from its investmentapproach

Identify strong, well run businesses. Seek companies withpredictable revenues and superior margins and return oninvestment

Avoid deep cyclicals, turnarounds and enterprises that cannot bereasonably analyzed

• Defined Risk Management at Security and Portfolio Level Constant monitoring and evaluation of outcomes at the security

level

Rigorous portfolio review to ensure fundamental and valuationcase intact

Strong focus on diversification across portfolio

Dividends and yields represent past performance, there is no assurance they will continue to be paid in the future.Limited investments also may be made in non-dividend paying stocks that are not expected to pay a dividend in the near future. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against market loss.

Your investment portfolio | Dividend Strategy ESG

ClearBridge Dividend Strategy ESG Portfolios

Philosophy• Total return portfolio focused on large cap, high- quality companies

that: Pay an attractive dividend.

Have the potential to significantly grow their dividends.

Provide consistent and competitive risk-adjusted returnsachieved by capitalizing on the convergence between acompany’s investment potential and its ESG managementaspects.

ObjectivesThe strategy seeks:• Attractive growth of dividend income.

• Long-term capital appreciation and capital preservation inchallenging markets.

• Actively evaluate a company’s ESG drivers of businessperformance to gauge its level of social awareness.

Risks:All investments involve risk, including the loss of principal, and there is no guarantee that investment objectives will be met.Investments may be made in small- and mid-cap companies, which involve a higher degree of risk and volatility than investments in large-cap companies.While most investments are in U.S. companies, investments may be made in ADRs and U.S.-traded ordinary shares of non-U.S. companies in developed and emerging markets which involve risks in addition to those ordinarily associated with investing in domesticsecurities, including the potentially negative effects of currency fluctuations, political and economic developments, foreign taxation and differences in auditing and other financial standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.Limited investments also may be made in non-dividend paying stocks that are not expected to pay a dividend in the near future.The managers may sometimes hold significant portions of portfolio assets in cash equivalents while waiting for buying opportunities.Managers seek to keep portfolio turnover low to allow for the positive compounding effect of dividends over time, although market, security and other investment considerations may cause turnover to be higher from time to time. Also, all capitalization ranges will notnecessarily be represented in an individual account.

*Pure gross of fee returns do not reflect the deduction of any expenses, including transaction costs, and are presented as supplemental to the net of fee returns.n/m - Information is not statistically meaningful due to an insufficient number of portfolios in the composite for the entire year.Compliance Statement:§ClearBridge Investments, LLC claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. ClearBridge Investments, LLC has been independently verified for theperiods January 1, 1997 - December 31, 2016. The verification reports are available upon request.Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm’s policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with theGIPS standards. Verification does not ensure the accuracy of any specific composite presentation.Firm Information:§ClearBridge Investments, LLC (“ClearBridge”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”). The investment advisory business now known as ClearBridge was registered in September 2005 to facilitate Legg Mason’s acquisition of substantially allthe equity asset management businesses known as Citigroup Asset Management. These former businesses serve as the foundation of ClearBridge and its claim of GIPS compliance for institutional accounts through predecessor firms, effective as of January 1997. InJune 2008, ClearBridge combined this business with its retail business to form a single GIPS firm. As of April 1, 2013 and January 1, 2016, ClearBridge’s affiliates, Global Currents Investment Management, LLC, and ClearBridge, LLC, respectively, have become part ofthe ClearBridge GIPS firm.Composite Information:§The ClearBridge Dividend Strategy ESG SMA composite consists of discretionary wrap accounts with an account minimum of US $25,000. The managers actively integrate criteria inclusive of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into the portfolioconstruction of the strategy. Accounts within the composite seek dividend income, growth of dividend income and long-term capital appreciation by investing in stocks that either pay an existing dividend or are expected to pay a dividend in the near future. The mainrisks of this strategy are General Investment Risk, Small Cap Risk, Mid Cap Risk, ESG Investing Risk, and Non-U.S. Investment Risk. The composite consists of the following percentages, as of each year end, of non-fee-paying seed capital: 2013 - 3%, 2014 - 3%, 2015 -2%, 2016 - 2%, 2017 - 2%.Input and Calculation Data:§The fee schedule currently in effect is 3.00% on all assets. Net of fee composite returns are calculated by reducing each monthly composite pure gross rate of return by the highest “bundled” fee charged (3.00%) annually, prorated to a monthly ratio. The “bundled” feeincludes transaction costs, investment management, custodial, and other administrative fees. The internal dispersion of annual returns is measured by the asset-weighted standard deviation of portfolio returns included in the composite for the entire year. The three-year annualized ex-post standard deviation is not available prior to 2016 because the composite did not have 36 months of data. A list of composite descriptions is available upon request. Policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparing compliantpresentations are available upon request. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.Benchmark Information:§The S&P 500® Index is a broad-based measurement of changes in stock market conditions based on the average performance of 500 widely held common stocks.

P/E (Year 1) is the previous day’s closing price of the stock dividedby the consensus earnings per share (EPS) of fiscal year 1 (FY1)provided by I/B/E/S. Forecasts are inherently limited and should notbe relied upon as indicators of future performance.§

R-Squared measures the strength of the linear relationship betweenthe portfolio and its benchmark. R-squared at 1.0 implies perfectlinear relationship and zero implies no relationship exists.§

Standard Deviation is based on quarterly data. Standard deviation isa measure of the variability of returns; the higher the standarddeviation, the greater the range of performance (i.e., volatility).

The Capture Ratios measure a manager’s composite performancerelative to the benchmark, considering only those quarters that areeither positive (Up) or negative (Down) for the benchmark.
