Distributor Status (relevant to U.K. Shareholders only)
It is intended that Legg Mason Global Funds Plc (the ‘‘Company’’) will pursue a distribution policy so that certification as a distributing fund is
obtained for each launched distributing share class of each of the funds of the Company (the ‘‘Funds’’) in respect of the twelve-month period
ended February 29, 2008 and subsequent periods. There is no guarantee, however, that certification will be obtained or that, once obtained,
certification will continue to be available or obtained for future accounting periods. U.K. Shareholders should be aware that HM Revenue &
Customs are currently consulting on the future of the U.K.’s Offshore Fund rules and it is likely that new legislation will be enacted in 2009 that
will fundamentally change the existing regime. Once any new regime is announced, the Company will seek to comply with the requirements in
order to ensure a comparable tax position for U.K. shareholders in the Funds and share classes currently benefiting from the certification as a
distributing fund. For the year from March 1, 2006 to February 28, 2007 certification was obtained for the following share classes:

Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to provide you with the financial report for Legg
Mason Global Funds plc for the six months ending August 31, 2008.
In this report we highlight the key drivers behind the performance of
bond and equity markets over the period.
Fixed Income Markets
The six months to the end of August 2008 saw further volatility in
global bond markets on the back of investors’ vacillating appetite for
risk. Investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds initially
benefited from a recovery in risk appetites. However, a return of
risk aversion later in the period boosted government bonds and led to
a setback in non-government sectors.
Early in the period, investors became more optimistic following
aggressive rate reductions and the announcement of additional
lending facilities by the US Federal Reserve (the ‘‘Fed’’). The Fed-
brokered emergency rescue of investment bank Bear Stearns by JP
Morgan Chase in mid-March also provided support. This led investors
to unwind some of their safe-haven investments in government bonds
and reallocate funds to the riskier segments of the bond market. From
June, however, risk aversion returned, and as commodity prices
continued to surge, a number of the major central banks raised
concerns over the outlook for inflation and the US financial sector saw
further bankruptcies. This led to renewed weakness in non-
government bonds.
The Fed continued its campaign against downside risks to growth for
much of the period, as economic data remained weak and financial
markets continued to struggle. It cut interest rates by a total of 1.0%
to 2.0%. The Bank of England also reduced rates, while the European
Central Bank remained concerned about the upside risks to inflation
and increased rates by 0.25% to 4.25%. The Bank of Japan (‘‘BofJ’’)
remained on the sidelines in order to assess the global economic
outlook.
US Equity Markets
US equity markets remained volatile and chaotic over the six months
to the end of August. Nevertheless, the period can be broken down
into three discernable periods: a volatile rally until mid-May, a sharp
retreat until mid-July, followed by a moribund recovery, which left the
major indices in negative territory for the period.
Until mid-May, market participants had begun to look beyond the
credit crisis, believing that perhaps the worst of the crisis was over.
The economic data also provided support, as the Gross Domestic
Product (‘‘GDP’’) numbers showed a slowing economy, but not a
recessionary one, leading some commentators to assert that the US
would avoid recession. However, as with other markets, the sharp
spike in oil prices severely dampened market sentiment as the knock-
on effects of wider inflationary pressures appeared to tie the hands of
the Fed in terms of cutting interest rates to stave off an economic
slowdown. As commodity prices and commodity-related equity
sectors surged, equity markets dropped overall.
In mid-July, equity markets rose following a sudden, sharp correction
in oil and other commodity prices, brought on by expectations that
slowing global growth would reduce commodity demand. The
nascent recovery, however, never really gained steam as a further
raft of downbeat economic news reignited fears of a recession.
Financial stocks recovered from a deeply oversold position in July,
after a revival of the perception that perhaps the worst was over for
financial stocks. But, as subsequent events were to prove, this
perception proved to be misplaced.
European Equity Markets
European markets began the period brightly against a backdrop of
stable economic growth, positive earnings and robust business
investment. Despite the credit crisis and the ongoing economic
woes of the US, the European economy posted strong positive growth
figures, and investors responded by driving equity markets upwards.
As the period unfolded, however, spiking oil prices, falling demand
and a drop in confidence nipped the rally in the bud and markets
turned sharply negative in early May. The negative tone was
reinforced by a spate of downbeat economic news in June, with
business surveys revealing a glum mood among European business
leaders. As oil prices surged to record highs in July, the markets
continued to fall, but when oil prices began to correct in July and
August, the market rebounded. It didn’t get far, however, as the
economic gloom continued. Official statistics revealed that the
Eurozone economy had contracted during the second quarter for
the first time since 2002. Germany, France and Italy led the
contraction, with Germany down the most after a buoyant first
quarter. The contraction resulted from falls in construction activity,
consumer spending, and capital investment.
Asian Equities Markets
Despite a brief rally in April and May, Asian equity markets fared
worse than other equity asset classes over the six-month period to the
end of August. Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong were the region’s
best performing markets, although all three declined in absolute
terms, while Pakistan, India and Korea were the region’s laggards.
The region’s heavyweights, India and China, have underperformed
significantly in the correction since October 2007, as global risk
appetite diminished and a portion of some of the earlier substantial
inflows into these markets subsided. Rising domestic inflation in both
economies has led to further monetary tightening measures and both
countries’ governments also reduced subsidies on gasoline and other
oil products in response to inflationary pressures. However, both
China and India, which previously had begun to look stretched on a
valuations basis, have now reverted to earnings multiples more in line
with other Asian markets. In Taiwan, after the strong performance
earlier in the year that followed favourable election results, the
market declined sharply. Thailand also declined, but this was due to
political instability.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to helping
you continue to meet your financial goals.
Yours sincerely,
Legg Mason Investments Europe Limited

Legg Mason Global Funds Plc Semi-Annual Report August 31, 2008
The accompanying notes are an integral part of the Financial Statements

Notes to Financial Statements1. Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies and estimation techniques adopted by Legg Mason Global Funds Plc, (the ‘‘Company’’) in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
(a) Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland and Irish Statute comprising the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2006, and all
regulations to be construed as one with those acts, including the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2003 as amended
(the ‘‘UCITS Regulations’’). Accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland in preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view are those published by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants in Ireland and issued by the Accounting Standards Board.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all reporting periods presented,
unless otherwise stated. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and financial liabilities held at fair
value through profit or loss.
The format and certain wording of the financial statements have been adapted from those contained in the Companies (Amendment) Act 1986 and Financial Reporting Standard 3:
Reporting Financial Performance (‘‘FRS 3’’) so that, in the opinion of the Directors, they more appropriately reflect the nature of the Company’s business as an investment fund.
The Company has availed of the exemption available to open-ended investment funds under Financial Reporting Standard 1: Cash Flow Statements (‘‘FRS 1’’) not to prepare a cash flow
statement.
All references to net assets throughout this document refer to net assets attributable to Holders of Redeemable Participating Shares unless otherwise stated. The Company is organised into
one main business segment. No additional disclosure is included in relation to segment reporting as the Company’s activities are limited to one main business and geographical segment. All
the Company’s assets and liabilities are held for the purposes of being traded or are expected to be realised within one year.
(b) Investments at Fair Value
The Company classified all financial instruments, including its investments in debt and equity securities, and related derivatives, as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss. These financial assets and financial liabilities are classified as held for trading at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets or liabilities held for trading are acquired or
incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading, as the Company does not designate any derivatives as
hedges in a hedging relationship.
Regular-way purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade date – the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at
fair value, and transaction costs for all financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed as incurred. Investments cease to be recognised when the rights to receive cash
flows from the investments have expired or the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs are expensed in the Profit and Loss Account. Subsequent to
initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the
financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss category are presented in the Profit and Loss Account in the period in which they arise.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and trading securities) is based on quoted market prices at the Balance Sheet date. The
quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price. The quoted market price used for financial liabilities held by the Company is the current ask price.
When the Company holds derivatives with offsetting market risks it uses mid-market prices as a basis for establishing fair values for the offsetting risk positions and applies the bid or asking
price to the net open position, as appropriate.
The Company may from time to time invest in financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example in over-the-counter derivatives). The fair value is determined by using
valuation techniques. The Company uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each Balance Sheet date. Valuation techniques used
include the use of comparable recent arm’s length transactions, discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants. The prices used at the
period end which have been sourced from a single broker source are the best estimate of fair value as at the period end date. However there is a degree of uncertainty in respect of these
prices. It may not always be possible to close out the positions at the stated market value with the given counterparty. The Directors of the Company have been advised that the values
arrived at are reasonable and prudent, however actual results may differ from these estimates and the differences could be material.
(c) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
A forward foreign currency exchange contract (‘‘forward contract’’) is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate. Forward contracts are used
to seek to manage foreign currency risks and to tactically shift portfolio currency risk. Forward contracts are generally entered into as a hedge upon the purchase or sale of a security
denominated in a foreign currency. The Fund will realise a gain or loss upon the closing or settlement of the forward transaction. Unrealised appreciation or depreciation on forward
contracts is reported in the Balance Sheet. Realised gains and losses are reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Profit and Loss Account. Risks relating to forward
contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the base currency of
the fund. As at August 31, 2008, forward currency contracts held are disclosed in Note 15 to financial statements. Forward contracts are fair valued by an independent price source by
reference to the price at which a new forward contract of the same size and maturity could be undertaken.
(d) Futures Contracts
Initial margin deposits are made upon entering into futures contracts and are generally made in cash. Futures contracts are fair valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices.
Changes in the value of open futures contracts are recognised as unrealised gains or losses on futures contracts until the contracts are terminated, at which time realised gains and losses are
recognised. Unrealised gains or losses on futures contracts are shown in the Balance Sheet. As at August 31, 2008, the futures contracts held are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments on
pages 8 through 120.
(e) Option Contracts
The premium on purchased put options exercised is subtracted from the proceeds of the sale of the underlying security or foreign currency in determining the realised gain or loss. The
premium on purchased call options exercised is added to the cost of the securities or foreign currency purchased. Premiums paid from the purchase of options, which expire unexercised, are
treated as realised losses. The unrealised gain or loss on open option positions is calculated and recorded as the fair value of the option less the premium paid on that option. Unrealised gains
or losses on open option positions are reflected as assets or liabilities in the Balance Sheet.
The premium on written call options exercised is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or foreign currency in determining the realised gain or loss. The premium on
written put options exercised is subtracted from the cost of the securities or foreign currencies purchased. Premiums received from written options, which expire unexercised, are treated as
realised gains.
As at August 31, 2008, the option contracts held are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments on pages 8 through 120.

(f) Credit Default Swap and Interest Rate Swap Instruments
Credit default and interest rate swaps, are recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Fair values
are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets, including recent market transactions, and valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models and options pricing
models, as appropriate. All derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative.
Each Fixed Income Fund (as defined in Note 14), except the Western Asset U.S. Money Market Fund may enter into credit default swap agreements, provided that (i) the credit default swap
agreement must be subject to daily valuation by the Fund and independently verified at least weekly, and (ii) the risks attached to the credit default swap must be independently assessed on
a half-yearly basis and the report must be submitted to the Directors for review. A Fund may be either the buyer or seller in a credit default swap transaction. The ‘‘buyer’’ in a credit default
contract is obligated to pay the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default on an underlying reference obligation has
occurred. If a Fund is a buyer and no event of default occurs, the Fund will lose its investment and recover nothing. On the other hand, if the Fund is a buyer and an event of default does
occur, the Fund (the buyer) will receive the full notional value of the reference obligation that may have little or no value. Conversely, if the Fund is a seller and an event of default occurs, the
Fund (the seller) must pay the counterparty the full notional value, or ‘‘par value’’, of the reference obligation in exchange for the reference obligation. As a seller, a Fund receives a fixed rate
of income throughout the term of the contract, which typically is between six months and three years, provided that there is no default event. If an event of default occurs, the seller (the
Fund) must pay the counterparty the full notional value of the reference obligation.
The Funds purchase and sell credit default swap contracts in order to hedge against the risk of a fall in the capital price, or default, of debt securities they hold. This involves the risk that the
swap may expire worthless and the credit risk that the seller may fail to satisfy its payment obligations to the Funds in the event of a default. The Funds may only enter into such transactions
with counterparties rated A- or higher.
An interest rate swap or cross currency interest rate swap involves the exchange by a Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive cash flows e.g., an exchange
of floating rate payments for fixed-rate payments in base or foreign currencies. The purchase of a cap entitles the purchaser, to the extent that a specified index exceeds a predetermined
value, to receive payments on a notional principal amount from the party selling the cap. The purchase of a floor entitles the purchaser, to the extent that a specified index falls below a
predetermined value, to receive payments on a notional principal amount from the party selling the floor. A collar combines elements of buying a cap and selling a floor. Spread locks are
contracts that guarantee the ability to enter into an interest rate swap at a predetermined rate above some benchmark rate.
As at August 31, 2008, the credit default swaps held are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments on pages 8 through 120.
(g) Securities Traded on a ‘‘To-Be-Announced’’ Basis
The Funds may trade securities on a ‘‘to-be-announced’’ (‘‘TBA’’) basis. In a TBA transaction, a Fund commits to purchase or sell securities for which specific information is not yet known at
the time of the trade. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to or from the relevant Fund, normally 15 to 45 days later. These transactions are subject to
market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities.
(h) Securities Sold Short
As described in Note 2, the investment objective of Batterymarch 130/30 Global Equity Fund permits the Fund to hold certain short positions through the use of financial derivative
instruments. Securities sold short are those positions where the Fund has sold a security that it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of the security and are classified
as liabilities. To enter a short sale, the Fund may need to borrow the security for delivery to the buyer. On each day the short sale transaction is open, the liability to replace the borrowed
security is marked-to-market and an unrealised gain or loss is recorded in the Profit and Loss Account. While the transaction is open the Fund will also incur an expense for any dividends or
interest that will be paid to the lender of the securities. The Fund’s obligation for investments sold short is considered closed and the related liability is satisfied when it delivers or replaces the
security borrowed under the original transaction. These short positions are entered into through the use of financial derivative instruments and are collateralised by cash.
As at August 31, 2008, the securities sold short held in the Batterymarch 130/30 Global Equity Fund and are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments on pages 8 through 120.
(i) Accounting for Investments
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Investments are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs for all ‘‘fair-valued-through profit or loss’’ securities are expensed
as incurred. Gains or losses on the sale of securities are calculated by using the First-In-First-Out (‘‘FIFO’’) basis.
(j) Income from Investments
Interest income and expense are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account for all debt instruments using the effective interest method.
Dividends are credited to the Profit and Loss Account on the dates on which the relevant securities are listed as ‘‘ex-dividend’’. Dividend income is shown gross of any non-recoverable
withholding taxes, which is disclosed separately in the Profit and Loss Account, and net of any tax credits.
(k) Lending of Securities
Certain Funds may lend securities to brokers, dealers and other financial organisations to earn additional income. Each security loan is collateralised with collateral assets in an amount equal
to or greater than the current market value of the loaned securities. There is a risk of delay in receiving collateral or in recovering the securities loaned or even a loss of rights in collateral
should the borrower fail financially.
As at August 31, 2008, each of the following Funds had outstanding loans of securities to certain brokers, dealers or other financial institutions for which each Fund has a security interest
and lien upon segregated cash and/or securities equivalent to or greater than 100% of the market value of securities loaned through the Company’s’ custodian:

(l) Expenses
Certain expenses are share class specific expenses and are charged direct to the share class. General fund expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net asset value.
(m) Foreign Exchange Translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency: Items included in the Company’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it
operates (the ‘‘functional currency’’). This is the U.S. Dollar for all Funds except Western Asset Euro Core Plus Bond Fund and Batterymarch European Equity Fund, which is Euro.
The Company has adopted the functional currency of each Fund as the presentation currency for these financial statements. The financial statements of the Company are
presented in U.S. Dollars.
(b) Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. Assets and
Liabilities are translated at the foreign exchange rate at the end of the period. Differences between income and expense amounts recorded and collected or paid are adjusted
when reported by PNC International Bank Limited (formerly PFPC Bank Limited) (the ‘‘Custodian’’).
(n) Short-Term Investments
Certificates of deposit, time deposits and other short-term investments maintained with financial institutions are fair valued at their face value with interest accrued as applicable.
(o) Repurchase Agreements
Securities purchased under agreements to resell are fair valued at their face value and adjusted for any movements in foreign exchange rates. Interest rates vary for each repurchase
agreement and are set at the initiation of the agreement. It is the Company’s policy to take custody of securities purchased under repurchase agreements and to value the securities on a
daily basis to protect the Company in the event the securities are not repurchased by the counterparty. The Company will generally obtain additional collateral if the market value of the
underlying securities is less than the face value of the repurchase agreement plus any accrued interest. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Company has the right to
liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realisation and/or retention of the
collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings. Repurchase agreements have been used during the period for the purpose of efficient portfolio management.
(p) Offsetting Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of assets and liabilities when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and
there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(q) Equalisation
An equalisation account may be maintained so that the amount distributed is the same for all shares of the same type notwithstanding different dates of issue. A sum equal to that part of
the issued price of a share which reflects income (if any) accrued but undistributed up to the date of issue will be deemed to be an equalisation payment and treated as repaid to shareholders
to the first dividend to which the shareholder was entitled in the same accounting period as that in which the shares are issued.
(r) Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
Management makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and
assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period are outlined below.
Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company may, from time to time, hold financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets, such as over-the-counter derivatives. Fair values of such instruments are determined
by using valuation techniques as discussed in Note 1(b). Where valuation techniques (for example, models) are used to determine fair values, they are validated and periodically reviewed and
compared to the price provided by an independent pricing service provider.
Models use observable data, to the extent practicable. However, areas such as credit risk (both own and counterparty), volatilities and correlations require management to make estimates.
Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
The values assigned to these instruments are based upon the best available information and because of the uncertainty of the valuation, these values may differ significantly from the values
that would have been realised had a ready market for these instruments existed and the differences could be material. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements
of credit, legal, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognised in the Profit and Loss Account. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for
these agreements, that the counterparties to the agreements may default on their obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, or that there
may be unfavourable changes in interest rates or the price of the index or security underlying these transactions.

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)2. Investment Objectives and Policies – (continued)
Western Asset U.S. High Yield Bond Fund
Investment Objective – To provide a high level of current income.
Investment Policies – The Fund invests at least 70 per cent of its total asset value in the following types of high-yielding debt securities of U.S. Issuers that are denominated in U.S. Dollars
that are listed or traded on Regulated Markets as listed in Schedule III of the prospectus: corporate debt securities, structured notes that are transferable securities whose underlying exposure
may be to fixed income securities; mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities that are structured as debt securities; provided that at all times at least two-thirds of the Fund’s total asset
value is invested in non-convertible debt securities. The Fund may invest in debt securities rated as low as C by Moody’s or D by S&P, which ratings indicate that the obligations are highly
speculative and may be in default or in danger of default as to principal and interest. The Fund’s remaining assets may be held in debt securities listed or traded on Regulated Markets that are
rated above BB+ by S&P or Ba1 by Moody’s, or unrated securities deemed by the Sub-Investment Manager to be of equivalent quality; preferred shares and other equity securities that are
listed or traded on Regulated Markets when such investments are consistent with the Fund’s investment objective of high current income; as well as cash or short-term Money Market
Instruments with remaining maturities of 13 months or less. The Fund may invest up to 20 per cent of its total asset value in high-yielding corporate debt securities of non-U.S. Issuers located
in developed and Emerging Market Countries, provided that such debt securities are denominated in U.S. Dollars and such issuers are domiciled in or have their principal activities located in
OECD member countries. A maximum of 10 per cent of the Fund’s net asset value may be invested in units or shares of other collective investment schemes within the meaning of Regulation
45(e) of the UCITS Regulations. At least 95 per cent of the Fund’s total asset value will be US$-denominated.
Western Asset Emerging Markets Bond Fund
Investment Objective – To maximise total return, consisting of income and capital appreciation.
Investment Policies – The Fund invests at least 70 per cent of its total asset value in debt securities of issuers located in Emerging Market Countries (hereinafter ‘‘Emerging Market Debt
Securities’’) that are listed or traded on Regulated Markets as listed in Schedule III of the prospectus. These debt securities shall be issued or guaranteed by national governments located in

securities, structured notes that are freely transferable securities whose underlying exposure may be to fixed income securities; asset-backed securities; preferred shares and other open
ended collective investment schemes within the meaning of Regulation 45(e) of the UCITS Regulations. A maximum of 10 per cent of the Fund’s net asset value may be invested in units or
shares of other collective investment schemes within the meaning of Regulation 45(e) of the UCITS Regulations. The Fund may purchase unsecuritised participations in or assignments of
floating rate mortgages or other commercial loans that are liquid and will provide for interest rate adjustments at least every 397 days and which may be secured by real estate or other

in the aggregate. Under normal market conditions, a minimum of 65 per cent of the Fund’s total asset value will be U.S. Dollar-denominated, and a minimum of 60 per cent of the Fund’s
total asset value will be invested in Emerging Markets Debt Securities issued by national, state or local governments, or entities affiliated with or sponsored by such governments.
Western Asset Global High Yield Bond Fund
Investment Objective – To generate total return. The generation of high current income is a secondary objective.
Investment Policies – The Fund invests at all times at least 70 per cent of its total asset value in high yielding debt securities listed or traded on Regulated Markets as listed in Schedule III of
the prospectus. Higher yields are generally available from securities rated BB+ or lower by S&P, or Ba1 or lower by Moody’s, or unrated securities of equivalent quality. Debt securities rated
below Investment Grade are deemed by these agencies to be predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal and may involve major risk of
exposure to adverse conditions. The Fund may invest in debt securities rated as low as C by Moody’s or D by S&P, which ratings indicate that the obligations are highly speculative and may
be in default or in danger of default as to principal and interest. It is not expected that the Fund will invest more than 45 per cent of its total asset value in high yield securities issued in
Emerging Market Countries, Emerging European Countries and/or Emerging Asia/Pacific Countries. It is expected that the Fund will invest in at least 10 different countries. The Fund is a
global fund, however, and is not confined to investing in any specific country or region. The Fund may purchase unsecuritised participations in or assignments of floating rate mortgages or
other commercial loans that are liquid and will provide for interest rate adjustments at least every 397 days and which may be secured by real estate or other assets. Such participations,
combined with any other investments that are subject to Clause 2.1 in Schedule II of the prospectus, will not exceed 10 per cent of the net asset value of the Fund in the aggregate. A
maximum of 10 per cent of the Fund’s net asset value may be invested in units or shares of other collective investment schemes within the meaning of Regulation 45(e) of the UCITS
Regulations.
Western Asset U.S. Short-Term Government Income Fund
Investment Objective – To generate current income while preserving the value of its Shareholders’ investment.
Investment Policies – The Fund will invest at all times at least 70 per cent of its total asset value in debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies,
instrumentalities or political sub-divisions that are listed or traded on Regulated Markets in the United States listed in Schedule III of the prospectus. The U.S. government securities in which
the Fund invests may comprise both direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury and obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies, including mortgage-backed or asset-backed
securities that are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government as to the timely payment of principal and interest. Up to 80 per cent of the Fund’s total asset value may be
invested in direct pass-through certificates guaranteed by GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC. Up to 10 per cent of the Fund’s total asset value may be invested in collateralised mortgage obligations.
A maximum of 10 per cent of the Fund’s net asset value may be invested in units or shares of other collective investment schemes within the meaning of Regulation 45(e) of the UCITS
Regulations. It is expected that the Fund will maintain an average portfolio duration of between six months and three years. The Fund may invest in individual securities of any duration.
Western Asset U.S. Adjustable Rate Income Fund
Investment Objective – To provide high current income and to limit the degree of fluctuation of its total asset value resulting from movements in interest rates.
Investment Policies – The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at all times at least 80 per cent of its total asset value in various types of adjustable rate debt securities
issued by U.S. Issuers (including variable rate securities, floating rate securities and adjustable rate mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities that are structured as debt securities) and
listed or traded on Regulated Markets listed in Schedule III of the prospectus. The debt securities may include: debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies,
instrumentalities and political sub-divisions; debt securities issued by other national governments, their agencies, instrumentalities and political sub-divisions; debt securities of supranational
organisations such as freely transferable promissory notes, bonds and debentures; corporate debt securities, including freely transferable promissory notes, debentures, bonds; convertible
and non-convertible notes; commercial paper, certificates of deposits, and bankers acceptances issued by industrial, utility, finance, commercial banking or bank holding company
organisations; and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities structured as debt securities. A maximum of 10 per cent of the Fund’s net asset value may be invested in units or shares of
other collective investment schemes within the meaning of Regulation 45(e) of the UCITS Regulations. The Fund invests in U.S. government securities and securities rated at the time of
purchase in the two highest long-term rating categories by a NRSRO. The Fund may invest up to 20 per cent of its total asset value in debt securities that are unrated but determined to be of
a quality equivalent to such two highest categories by the Sub-Investment Manager. It is expected that the Fund will maintain average portfolio duration of between six months and one year.
However, the Fund may invest in individual securities of any duration. The Sub-Investment Manager seeks to achieve low volatility of net asset value by diversifying the Fund’s assets among
investments that the Sub-Investment Manager believes will, in the aggregate, be resistant to significant fluctuations in market value.

Fund’s portfolio generally ranges from 2 to 10 years but for individual markets may be greater or lesser depending on the prospects for lower interest rates and the potential for capital gains.
Legg Mason Value Fund
Investment Objective – To achieve long-term capital appreciation.
Investment Policies – The Fund invests principally in securities of the U.S. issuers, which the Investment Manager believes are undervalued. The Fund may also invest up to 25 per cent of its
total asset value in the securities of non-U.S. Issuers. At least 50 per cent of the total asset value of the Fund will be invested in equity securities. The Fund may also invest up to 5 per cent of

collective investment schemes within the meaning of Regulation 45(e) of the UCITS Regulations. The selection of common stocks will be made through an investment strategy referred to as
‘‘focus investing,’’ whereby companies are identified and selected as eligible investments by examining all fundamental quantitative and qualitative aspects of the company, its management
and its financial position as compared to its stock price. This is a bottom up, fundamental method of analysis as opposed to technical analysis, which is based on the study of trading volumes
and prices.

ClearBridge U.S. Fundamental Value Fund
Investment Objective – To generate long-term capital appreciation. The generation of current income is a secondary objective.
Investment Policies – The Fund will invest at least 70 per cent of its total asset value in a diversified portfolio comprised of equity or equity-related securities of U.S. Companies and debt
securities issued by U.S. Issuers, which are listed or traded on Regulated Markets in the United States listed in Schedule III of the prospectus, provided that the Fund shall at all times invest at
least 50 per cent of its total asset value in equity securities of U.S. Companies. The Sub-Investment Manager emphasises securities which are in its judgment undervalued in the marketplace
and, accordingly, have above-average capital growth potential. The Fund may also invest in aggregate up to 30 per cent of its total asset value in Money Market Instruments, non-publicly
traded securities, equity and fixed income securities of non-U.S. Issuers (including those from Emerging Market Countries, Emerging European Countries and Emerging Asia/Pacific
Countries), American Depository Receipts, Global Depository Receipts and mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities, provided however, no more than 20 per cent of the Fund’s total asset
value may be invested in securities of issuers from Emerging Market Countries, Emerging European Countries and/or Emerging Asia/Pacific Countries. A maximum of 10 per cent of the
Fund’s net asset value may be invested in units or shares of other collective investment schemes within the meaning of Regulation 45(e) of the UCITS Regulations.
ClearBridge U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund
Investment Objective – To generate long-term capital appreciation.
Investment Policies – The Fund invests at least 70 per cent of its total asset value in equity securities of a concentrated group of U.S. Companies with large market capitalisations, which are
listed or traded on Regulated Markets in the United States listed on Schedule III of the prospectus. The core holdings of the Fund will be large market capitalisation U.S. Companies that are
dominant in their respective industries, global in scope and have a long-term history of performance. The Fund’s investments will consist of common stocks and to a lesser extent preferred
stock and equity-related securities issued by or related to large market capitalisation U.S. Companies, which are believed to afford attractive opportunities for investment growth. The Fund
will not invest in securities listed or traded on Regulated Markets in any Emerging Market Countries, Emerging European Countries or Emerging Asia/Pacific Countries. A maximum of 10 per
cent of the Fund’s net asset value may be invested in units or shares of other collective investment schemes within the meaning of Regulation 45(e) of the UCITS Regulations.
ClearBridge U.S. Aggressive Growth Fund
Investment Objective – To generate long-term capital appreciation.
Investment Policies – The Fund invests at least 70 per cent of its total asset value in common stocks of U.S. Companies which are listed or traded on Regulated Markets in the United States
listed in Schedule III of the prospectus and that the Sub-Investment Manager believes are experiencing, or have potential to experience, growth of earnings and/or cash flow that exceed the
average earnings and/or cash flow growth rate of companies having securities included in the Standard & Poor’s Daily Price Index of 500 Common Stocks (the ‘‘S&P 500 Index’’). The Sub-
Investment Manager anticipates that the Fund would invest primarily in the securities of small or medium-sized companies and to a lesser degree in the securities of large, well-known
companies. The Sub-Investment Manager focuses its stock selection for the Fund on the diversified group of emerging growth companies that may have passed their ‘‘start-up’’ phase and
show positive earnings and the prospect of achieving significant profit gains in the two to three years after the Fund acquires their stocks. A maximum of 10 per cent of the Funds net asset
value may be invested in units or shares of other collective investment schemes within the meaning of Regulation 45(e) of the UCITS Regulations.
Royce U.S. Small Cap Opportunity Fund
Investment Objective – To achieve long-term capital appreciation.
Investment Policies – The Fund invests at least 70 per cent of its total asset value in a diversified portfolio of equity securities issued by small-cap U.S. companies (i.e., U.S. Companies with
market capitalisations of less than $2.5 billion) that are listed or traded on Regulated Markets in the United States. The Sub-Investment Manager invests the Fund’s assets in these companies
in an attempt to take advantage of what it believes are opportunistic situations for undervalued securities. Such opportunistic situations may include turnarounds, emerging growth
companies with interrupted earnings patterns, companies with unrecognised asset values or undervalued growth companies. A maximum of 10 per cent of the Fund’s net asset value may be
invested in units or shares of other collective investment schemes within the meaning of Regulation 45(e) of the UCITS Regulations. The Sub-Investment Manager uses a value method in
managing the Fund’s assets.
Royce Smaller Companies Fund
Investment Objective – To achieve long-term capital appreciation.
Investment Policies – The Fund invests at least two-thirds of its total asset value in equity securities issued by companies with stock market capitalisations less than $5 billion that are listed
or traded on Regulated Markets as set out in Schedule III of the prospectus. Up to one third of the Fund’s total asset value may invested in (i) equity securities (including common stock,
preferred shares and convertible securities) of companies with stock market capitalisations exceeding $5 billion that are listed or traded on Regulated Markets, (ii) debt securities issued or
guaranteed by national governments and their agencies, instrumentalities and political sub-divisions, (iii) corporate debt securities of issuers located in or whose securities are listed or traded
on Regulated Markets, and (iv) repurchase agreements or cash for efficient portfolio management purposes. A maximum of 10 per cent of the Fund’s net asset value may be invested in units
or shares of other collective investment schemes within the meaning of Regulation 45(e) of the UCITS Regulations.
PCM U.S. Equity Fund
Investment Objective - To achieve long-term capital appreciation.
Investment Policies – The Fund invests principally in the equity securities of companies the Sub-Investment Manager views as being undervalued by the public market on the basis of its
proprietary investment analysis. The Fund invests primarily in issuers listed or traded on Regulated Markets in North America. At least 70 per cent of the Fund’s total asset value will be
invested in equity securities of U.S. Companies that are listed or traded on Regulated Markets. The Fund will invest no more than 5 per cent of its net asset value in warrants. The Fund may
also invest in debt securities of government issuers and corporate debt securities (such as freely transferable promissory notes, bonds or debentures) provided such debt securities are rated
Investment Grade at the time of purchase, are denominated in U.S. dollars and are traded or listed on Regulated Markets in North America. A maximum of 10 per cent. of the Fund’s net
asset value may be invested in units or shares of other collective investment schemes within the meaning of Regulation 45(e) of the Regulations. The Fund may invest in derivatives, but only
for efficient portfolio management purposes.
GC Global Equity Fund
Investment Objective – To provide long-term capital appreciation.
Investment Policies – The Fund invests at all times at least two-thirds of its total asset value in equity securities (including common stock and preferred shares) that are listed or traded on
Regulated Markets as set out in Schedule III of the prospectus. Up to 15 per cent of the Fund’s total asset value may be invested in equity securities of issuers located in Emerging Market
Countries. A maximum of 10 per cent of the Fund’s net asset value may be invested in units or shares of other collective investment schemes within the meaning of Regulation 45(e) of the
UCITS Regulations. To manage capital flows, the Fund may hold cash or invest in short-term debt instruments that are cash equivalents. The Sub-Investment Manager employs a value-
oriented strategy that seeks to identify securities that are trading below their normal valuation and expectations. The Sub-Investment Manager believes that percentage holdings of individual
securities normally will range between 1 per cent and 3 per cent of the Fund’s total asset value. Assets of the Fund may be denominated in currencies other than the Base Currency of the
Fund. Therefore, the Fund may be exposed to currency risk due to fluctuations in the exchange rate between such other currencies and the U.S. Dollar. The Sub-Investment Manager may or
may not try to mitigate this risk by using various hedging strategies through the use of financial derivative instruments.

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)5. Distributions to Holders of Redeemable Participating Shares
Distributing Share Classes
The letter in parentheses at the end of the name of each Distributing Share Class indicates a particular frequency of dividend declarations and dividend payments, as detailed in the following
table.
Distributing Share Class Designation Frequency of Dividend Declarations Frequency of Dividend Payments
(D) Daily Monthly
(M) Monthly Monthly
(Q) Quarterly Quarterly (March, June, September, December)
(S) Semi-Annually Semi-Annually (March, September)
(A) Annually Annually (March)
For each Distributing Share Class of each Fixed Income Fund (as defined in note 14), at the time of each dividend declaration: (1) net investment income, if any, will be declared as a dividend;
and (2) all, or some portion, of realised and unrealised capital gains net of realised and unrealised capital losses may be, but is not required to be, declared as a dividend.
For each Distributing Share Class of each Equity Fund (as defined in note 14), at the time of each dividend declaration: net investment income, if any, will be declared as a dividend.
For each Shareholder of each Distributing Share Class, distributions will be made in the currency in which the Shareholder subscribed for Shares, unless the Shareholder requests otherwise.
Payments will be made by wire transfer to a Shareholder’s account. Shareholders may elect on the application form whether or not to invest such distributions in additional Shares.
Accumulating Share Classes
With respect to Accumulating Share Classes, it is intended that, in the normal course of business, distributions will not be declared and that any net investment income attributable to each
Accumulating Share Class will be accumulated daily in the respective net asset value per Share of each respective Share Class.
6. Share Capital and Redeemable Participating Shares
Share Capital
The Company was incorporated with an initial share capital of Euro 39,000 represented by 39,000 Subscriber Shares of no par value. All but seven of the Subscriber Shares have been
repurchased by the Company. Shareholders of these seven Subscriber Shares are entitled to attend and vote at all of the meetings of the Company, but are not entitled to participate in the
dividends or net assets of any Fund or of the Company.
Redeemable Participating Shares
The share capital of the Company shall at all times equal the net asset value. The Directors are empowered to issue up to five hundred billion Shares of no par value in the Company at the net
asset value per Share on such terms as they may see fit. There are no rights of pre-emption upon the issue of Shares in the Company.
Each of the Shares entitles the Shareholder to participate equally on a pro rata basis in the dividends, where applicable, and net assets of the Fund in respect of which they are issued, save in
the case of dividends declared prior to becoming a Shareholder.
The proceeds from the issue of Shares shall be applied in the books of the Company to the relevant Fund and shall be used in the acquisition on behalf of the relevant Fund of assets in which
the Fund may invest. The records and accounts of each Fund shall be maintained separately.
Each Fund has difference Shares Classes offered as indicated in the Company’s prospectus. These different Classes of Shares differ principally in terms of their sales charges, fees, rates of
expenses, distribution policy, and currency denomination. Investors are thus able to choose a Share Class that best suits their investment needs, considering the amount of investment and
anticipated holding period.
Each Share Class is designated as a Distributing Share Class or an Accumulating Share Class. Accumulating Share Classes do not distribute net income, net realised or net unrealised capital
gains whereas Distributing Share Classes will distribute at certain intervals, which will vary depending on the letter in parentheses at the end of the name of the Distributing Share Class, as
explained under the Distributions Note 5 above. In addition, the Company has Subscriber Shares outstanding. The Subscriber Shares do not entitle the holders to participate in the assets of
any Fund.
Each Fund may offer Share Classes designated in currencies other than the Base Currency of the Fund. For each such Share Class, unless indicated by ‘‘(Hedged)’’ in the name of the Share
Class, the Investment Manager or Sub-Investment Manager will not employ any techniques to hedge the Share Class’s exposure to changes in exchange rates between the Base Currency of
the Fund and the currency of the Share Class.
Each of the Funds offers LM Share Classes, and certain of the Funds offer Grandfathered Share Classes. LM Share Classes are available only at the discretion of the relevant Distributor. The
Grandfathered Share Classes are available only to unitholders of the funds which are managed by affiliates of the Investment Mangers (‘‘Affiliated Funds’’) except for the Grandfathered
Share Classes of the GC Global Equity Fund, which are available only at the discretion of the relevant Distributor. Following the initial subscription for Shares of the Grandfathered Share
Classes by unitholders of the Affiliated Funds (or, in the case of the GC Global Equity Fund, by investors permitted in the Fund at the discretion of the relevant Distributor), the Grandfathered
Share Classes will be closed to any subsequent subscriptions, both by existing shareholders in the Share Class and by new investors, except that Shares may continue to be acquired through
(1) dividend reinvestments; (2) automatic conversions from a Class B (G) Share Class of a Fund to a Class A (G) Share Class of the same Fund; and (3) exchanges of Shares of the equivalent
Grandfathered Share Class of another Fund.
Galleon Class Shares of Legg Mason Value Fund, which differ from the other Share Classes in terms of minimum subscription level, sales charges and/or rates of expenses, are no longer
being offered for subscription. Existing Galleon Class Shares will be maintained in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions applicable at the time of purchase.
7. Taxation
The Company will not generally be liable to tax in respect of its income and gains, other than on the occurrence of a chargeable event. Generally a chargeable event arises on any
distribution, redemption, repurchase, cancellation, transfer of shares or on the ending of a ’Relevant Period’, a ’Relevant Period’ being an eight year period beginning with the acquisition of
the shares by the Shareholders and each subsequent period of eight years beginning immediately after the preceding Relevant Period.
A chargeable event does not include:
(i) Any transactions in relation to shares held in a recognised clearing system as designated by order of the Revenue Commissioners of Ireland: or
(ii) An exchange by a shareholder, effected by way of an arms length bargain where no payment is made by the shareholder of shares in a Fund for other shares in a Fund: or
(iii) An exchange of shares arising on a qualifying amalgamation or reconstruction of the Fund with another Fund: or
(iv) Certain exchanges of shares between spouses and former spouse or the occasion of judicial separation and/or divorce.
A chargeable event will not occur in respect of Shareholders who are neither resident nor ordinarily resident in Ireland and who have provided the Fund with a relevant declaration to that
effect.

The Company has appointed LMIE as Investment Manager for each of the Funds of Legg Mason Global Funds plc (with the exception of Legg Mason Value Fund) and Legg Mason Capital
Management, Inc. as Investment Manager of Legg Mason Value Fund (together the ‘‘Investment Managers’’).
The Company has adopted FRS 29 which is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2007. The objective of FRS 29 is to provide information about the Company’s
exposure to material risks and how the Company manages those risks. The Company, in conjunction with the Investment Managers, has determined that its material risks are market risk,
credit risk and liquidity risk. In respect of the use of financial derivative instruments, the risks are counterparty risk, credit risk, increased margin calls and unlimited risk of loss. Further details
of these and other risks are set out below and in the prospectus under "Risk Factors".
The Funds which invest mainly in bond and interest bearing securities include Western Asset U.S. Money Market Fund, Western Asset U.S. Core Bond Fund, Western Asset U.S. Core Plus
Bond Fund, Western Asset Euro Core Plus Bond Fund, Western Asset Diversified Strategic Income Bond Fund, Western Asset Global Multi Strategy Fund, Western Asset U.S. High Yield Bond

ClearBridge U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund, ClearBridge U.S. Aggressive Growth Fund, Royce U.S. Small Cap Opportunity Fund, Royce Smaller Companies Fund, PCM U.S. Equity Fund, GC
Global Equity Fund, Batterymarch European Equity Fund, Batterymarch Pacific Equity Fund, Batterymarch 130/30 Global Equity Fund, Batterymarch International Large Cap Fund and
Batterymarch Emerging Markets Equity Fund (together the ‘‘Equity Funds’’).
Market risk includes market price risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk.
Market price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The maximum price risk resulting from the
ownership of financial instruments is determined by the fair value of financial instruments. The Sub-Investment Manager may consider the asset allocation of the portfolios in order to
minimise the risk associated with particular countries, industry sectors or securities while continuing to follow each Fund’s investment objectives as outlined in Note 2 to these financial
statements. Risk is an integral part of the investment process. Risk is managed by each Sub-Investment Manager through a careful selection of securities and other financial instruments
within specified limits and investment mandates. Details of each Fund’s investment policy are outlined in Note 2 to these financial statements.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the rate of exchange between the currency in which
the financial asset or financial liability is denominated in and the functional currency of the Funds. The value of the investments of a Fund denominated in a currency other than the functional
currency may rise and fall due to exchange rate fluctuations in respect of the relevant currencies. There is a risk that large exchange rate fluctuations may have a significant impact on the
performance of the Funds.
Where a Fund holds investments in a currency other than that Fund’s functional currency the Sub-Investment Manager may manage foreign currency risk by either hedging foreign currency
into the functional currency of the Fund or alternatively by diversifying investments across multiple currencies using a multi-bank foreign exchange trading network.
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rate. Funds which hold fixed interest rate debt securities and
overdraft positions are exposed to interest rate risk where the value of these securities or loans may fluctuate as a result of a change in interest rates. Holdings in floating and variable rate
securities may also be subject to interest rate risk although to a lesser degree.
The Equity Funds generally do not invest in any interest bearing securities other than cash balances held with the Custodian. Cash assets yield interest income, the level of which will fluctuate
according to the prevailing level of market interest rates. As a result, the Equity Funds are not subject to significant amounts of risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market
interest rates on its financial assets and liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)14. Risk Exposure and Risk Management – (continued)
The Fixed Income Funds invest in interest bearing financial assets and liabilities which expose them to risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest
rates on their financial positions and cash flows. The value of investments in fixed-rate interest bearing securities may be subject to price volatility due to changes in interest rates.
Fluctuations in market interest rates will impact upon the level of interest received by a Fund.
An increase in interest rates will generally reduce the value of debt securities that are issued and outstanding, while a decline in interest rates will generally increase the value of debt
securities that are issued and outstanding. The magnitude of these price fluctuations will be greater when the maturity of the outstanding securities is longer. Changes in the value of
securities held by a Fund when interest rates change mean that a Fund’s net asset value per Share can go up or down because of the effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio of debt
securities.
The relevant Sub-Investment Manager to each Fixed Income Fund monitors the interest-rate environment and evaluates risks on major strategies. Interest rate risk is controlled by monitoring
maturities and duration relative to the Funds’ benchmarks. Techniques such as factor analysis and key rate duration measurement are used to evaluate portfolio risk. Additionally, the Sub-
Investment Manager uses applications that calculate performance returns, performance attribution and Value at Risk ("VaR") statistics for use in benchmark comparisons.
Details of each Fixed Income Fund’s weighted average yield, weighted average years to maturity and an analysis of fixed and non-interest bearing securities are set out in Note 14(b) and 14
(c) below.
The risks involved with investing in Equity Funds include changing economic conditions, industry and company conditions and security selection. Fixed Income Funds are also subject to
interest rate risk, credit risk, maturity risk and market risk. International securities are subject to changing exchange rates, less liquid markets and political and economic instability depending
on the country. For the purpose of efficient portfolio management, the Funds may enter into exchange traded or over-the-counter (‘‘OTC’’) derivatives, including but not limited to, futures,
swaps, forwards, options and warrants and may enter into stock lending agreements.
LMIE, as Investment Manager, has made the decision to delegate all investment management activities to sub-investment managers (see list of Sub-Investment Managers on pages 4 and 5).
Day-to-day risk management of the financial instruments held by the Legg Mason Value Fund is the responsibility of Legg Mason Capital Management, Inc. For each of the other Funds, day-
to-day risk management of the financial instruments (including financial derivative instruments) held by each Fund is the responsibility of the relevant Sub-Investment Manager. Effective
June 3, 2008, Global Currents Investment Management, LLC succeeded Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC as Sub-Investment Manager of GC Global Equity Fund. The risk
management process was not impacted as a result of this change.
LMIE has established a Committee (the ‘‘Committee’’) to oversee the delegation of investment management responsibilities for all Funds. The Committee is comprised of members who, as a
group, have experience and specialised knowledge in such areas as investment management including equity, fixed income and derivatives; investment analysis and reporting; and
compliance. The Committee, on behalf of the Investment Managers, is responsible for ensuring that the Funds are managed within the terms of the Funds’ investment guidelines and limits
set out in the prospectus and the UCITS Regulations as well as the Sub-Investment Managers’ own internal investment guidelines and limits. The Committee generally meets once a month to
ensure that the Funds are being managed in accordance with these limits and regulatory requirements. The Sub-Investment Managers report to the Committee matters arising in relation to
the monitoring of certain material risks arising from a Fund’s investments in financial instruments.
14.1 Market Risk
VaR is one of many components used by the Sub-Investment Managers of the Fixed Income Funds to measure market risk. VaR can be used to meet the sensitivity analysis requirement of FRS
29. Relative VaR refers to the risk versus the benchmark.
VaR analysis reflects the interdependencies between risk variables, unlike a traditional sensitivity analysis. VaR is an indicator of potential loss with a given probability (defined as the
confidence level) for a given period of time. The Sub-Investment Manager estimates VaR using historical data. The overall market risk for any type of security which the Funds can then invest
in must be reviewed by senior management of the Sub-Investment Manager.
While VaR is widely used in risk management, there are inherent limitations. VaR uses historical data which may not produce accurate predictions of future risk. Another limitation is if the
time period over which data is collected was stable, VaR will produce different results than if the time period was volatile.
Western Asset Management Company calculates a regression-based VaR at a 95% confidence level for a 1 day time horizon using 18 months of historical data. Brandywine Global
Investment Management, LLC calculates a regression-based VaR at a 95% confidence level for a 1 day time horizon using 2 years of historical data.
The Sub-Investment Managers calculate VaR utilising historical return volatility and correlation data. This provides an indicator of the potential change in the current value of the overall

(a) Market Price Risk
Each Fund’s market price risk is monitored, but not managed, relative to an index. The indices as at August 31, 2008 and February 29, 2008 are outlined below.
The following table sets out an index for each Equity Fund and quantifies the probable impact to the value of the net asset value for each Fund based on positive and negative movement in
the index, including one year beta for each Fund. Beta is a measure of a Fund’s equity holdings’ volatility in relation to the market or index.

The sensitivity analysis set out above should not be used as an indication of future performance.
The risk to each Fixed Income Fund from market price risk has been incorporated into the calculation of the market VaR (Note 14.1 above), therefore, a sensitivity analysis does not need to
be presented.
(b) Foreign Currency Risk
A portion of the financial assets of the Funds are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar and Euro (the functional currencies of the Funds) with the effect that the Balance Sheet
and total return can be significantly affected by currency movements.
The Company’s potential largest exposure to foreign currency risk is through the Funds managed by Western Asset Management Company Limited and Western Asset Management
Company (together ‘‘Western’’). Western has a strong bias to hedge all foreign currencies into the functional currency of the Fund’s portfolio. Western will typically leave only a small portion
of the portfolio unhedged, and then only if the outlook strongly suggests that currency risk is attractive. In other portfolios, hedges are implemented whenever a currency is seen to be at risk
of depreciating by more than the cost of the hedge transaction. Western cross-hedges into non-functional currencies only rarely—when permitted by guidelines, under severe limits (typically
less than 5% of the portfolio), and seeking to reflect an exposure relative to the index.
The following table sets out the Funds’ net exposure to foreign currency with the value to be received under foreign currency contracts and the resulting net unhedged amounts invested in
assets in foreign currencies.
Amounts represented below primarily are monetary assets and liabilities except for investments in non-interest bearing securities, which include equities.

The value noted above for net forward currency contracts represents the unrealised gain/(loss) at period end. Certain Funds have share classes issued in the foreign currencies. Where the
Sub-Investment Manager has entered into the forward currency contracts to hedge the foreign currency share class the net exposure above, should be offset by the net assets of the foreign
currency share class.
The following table sets out a sensitivity analysis in relation to foreign currency risk and its effect on the net asset value of the Equity Funds where foreign currency risk is deemed significant.
A snapshot of the underlying positions for all Funds was taken as at August 31, 2008 and February 29, 2008. Exchange rates were appreciated/depreciated by +/- 5% (given the nature of
the markets that the Funds are invested in a 5% increase/decrease has been applied); the corresponding impact was estimated for all equities, foreign cash and foreign currency settlement
positions. Other net assets (liabilities) are not significant and are assumed unchanged. All other market parameters are also assumed unchanged.

exchange rates will have a direct impact on the net asset value. The foreign currency exchange rates as at August 31, 2008 and February 29, 2008 are listed in Note 11 above. This sensitivity
analysis should not be used as a prediction of future performance.
The risk to each Fixed Income Fund from foreign currency exposure has been incorporated into the calculation of the market VaR (Note 14.1 above), therefore, a sensitivity analysis does not
need to be presented.
(c) Interest Rate Risk
A sensitivity analysis has not been prepared as the majority of the Equity Funds’ assets are not interest bearing assets and therefore the risk is not sufficiently material.
As at August 31, 2008 and February 29, 2008, all of the cash held by the Funds are held with the Custodian earning a margin over Libor.
The analysis of fixed, variable and non-interest bearing securities is disclosed in Note 14.1(b) above.

In addition to the Committee, LMIE has established a Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board. The Valuation
Committee, including the Chairperson, is comprised of no fewer than four members and no more than ten members, each of whom is appointed by LMIE. Representatives of Legg Mason
Legal and Compliance will serve the Valuation Committee in an advisory capacity. The Valuation Committee meets on a monthly basis to review all securities which are manually priced,
broker priced, matrix priced, fair valued, illiquid or stale. A Valuation Committee meeting, however, may be called at any time to consider any question or issue that falls under their
procedures. Valuation Committee meetings can be in person, or via email or other writing.

(d) Other Price Risk – Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – (continued)
Some Funds entered into derivative products during the period. The value of derivative securities is based on certain underlying stocks or bonds, interest rates, currencies or indices and
includes futures, options, options on futures and swap agreements. Derivative securities may be hard to sell at an advantageous price or time and are sensitive to changes in the underlying
security, interest rate, currency or index. Therefore, derivatives can be highly volatile and could result in a loss to the Fund. Refer to Note 15 for details of open forward foreign currency
contracts as at August 31, 2008 and February 29, 2008. Refer to the respective Funds’ Portfolio of Investments for details of other open derivative positions as at August 31, 2008.
Fair Value Estimation
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and trading securities) is based on quoted market prices at the Balance Sheet date. The
quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price. The quoted market price used for financial liabilities held by the Company is the current ask price.
When a ‘‘readily available market quotation’’ for a security is not available, the Company employs ‘‘fair value’’ methodologies to price securities. As a general principle, fair value is the price
that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive upon a current sale. The fair valuation process requires the Valuation Committee to make a determination in good faith as to the value of a
particular security or group of securities depending on the particular facts and circumstances involved.
Circumstances in which a market quotation is not readily available may include, trading suspensions prior to the close of the relevant market; events that unexpectedly close entire markets
such as natural disasters, power blackouts, or similar major events; market holidays; or volume of trading in a security.
When determining the fair value of a security, the Valuation Committee may consider all relevant methods, including but not limited to any one or all of the following pricing methods:
(i) A multiple of earnings;
(ii) A discount from market of a similar freely traded security;
(iii) A discounted cash-flow analysis;
(iv) The book value or a multiple thereof;
(v) A risk premium/yield analysis;
(vi) Yield to maturity; or
(vii) Fundamental investment analysis.
The Valuation Committee reviews the appropriateness and accuracy of the methods used in fair valuing securities on a monthly basis including a comparison of fair values against the last
market price and the next available market price, such as the next-day opening price.
Securities which are fair valued by the Sub-Investment Manager at August 31, 2008 are noted on the Portfolio of Investments on pages 8 to 120.
In the event a price is not available from a Pricing Service, the Administrator or the Sub-Investment Manager may obtain one or more quotes from approved broker-dealers.
Matrix pricing is used for Funds when the Administrator or Sub-Investment Manager is unable to obtain one or more broker-dealer quotes for a security for which there is no price available
from a Pricing Service. Matrix pricing estimates a U.S. dollar-denominated security’s current market value by using the most recent quote received from a broker-dealer and adjusting the
price by the change in the yield of the U.S. treasury security most similar in duration to the security being valued.
The following tables set out the value of securities for each Fund which have been priced using single broker, dual broker, fair valued by the Valuation Committee and securities which have
been matrix priced as at August 31, 2008 and February 29, 2008:

In certain circumstances the Company employs ITG factor pricing to the valuation of securities. The trigger for applying the ITG factor pricing to the Funds investing in international equities is
determined by significant movement in the Russell 1000 Index. ITG calculates a factor to be applied to the closing price to determine a fair value price. Where the ITG factor pricing is applied
the Administrator monitors the variance to the following day’s open market price.
As at August 31, 2008 ITG factor pricing applies to all securities in the GC Global Equity Fund, Batterymarch European Equity Fund, Batterymarch Pacific Equity Fund, Batterymarch 130/30
Global Equity Fund, Batterymarch International Large Cap Fund and Batterymarch Emerging Markets Equity Fund. As at February 29, 2008 ITG factor pricing applies to all securities in the GC
Global Equity Fund, Batterymarch European Equity Fund, Batterymarch Pacific Equity Fund and Batterymarch International Large Cap Fund.
14.2 Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to or issuer of a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Funds. The Company will be
exposed to credit risk on parties with whom it trades and will also bear the risk of settlement default. The Sub-Investment Manager minimises concentrations of credit risk by undertaking
transactions with a large number of customers and counter-parties on recognised and reputable exchanges. All transactions in listed securities are settled/paid for upon delivery using
approved brokers. The risk of default is considered minimal, as delivery of securities sold is only made once the broker has received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the
securities have been received by the broker. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.
The Funds will be exposed to credit risk on the counterparties with which it trades in relation to options, forward contracts and other derivative financial instruments that are not traded on a
Recognised Exchange. Such instruments are not afforded the same protections as may apply to participants trading futures or options on organised exchanges, such as the performance
guarantee of an exchange clearing house. The Funds will be subject to the possibility of the insolvency, bankruptcy or default of a counterparty with which the Funds trade such instruments,
which could result in substantial losses to the relevant Funds.
The Company is exposed to a credit risk on the OTC counterparties with whom it trades, that these counterparties may not perform their obligations and that settlement of transactions may
not occur. All OTC counterparties must meet the following criteria as set out in the UCITS regulations namely:
(i) A credit institution in accordance with sub-paragraphs 1.4 (i), (ii) or (iii) of UCITS Notice 9, or an investment firm authorised in accordance with the Markets in Financial
Instruments Directive in an EEA Member State, or is an entity subject to regulation as a Consolidated Supervised Entity by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or
(ii) Have a minimum credit rating of A2 or equivalent, or in the opinion of the Investment Manager, an implied credit minimum rating of A2 or equivalent.
Exposures to individual counterparties are limited to 10% of net asset value in the case of (i) above and 5% of net asset value in the case of (ii) above.
Transactions involving derivative financial instruments are usually with counterparties with whom the Company has signed master netting agreements. Master netting agreements provide
for the net settlement of contracts with the same counterparty in the event of default. The credit risk associated with derivative financial assets subject to a master netting arrangement is
eliminated only to the extent that financial liabilities due to the same counterparty will be settled after the assets are realised.
Transactions resulting in large unrealised gains to a Fund may require a Fund to hold collateral received from a broker. In these instances, the credit risk to the Fund is reduced by the value of
the collateral held.
For efficient portfolio management purposes, each Fund may enter into stock lending agreements subject to the conditions and limits set out in the Financial Regulator Notices.
Until the expiry of the stock lending transaction, collateral obtained under such contracts or transactions:
(i) must be marked to market daily;
(ii) must equal or exceed, in value, at all times the value of the amount invested or securities loaned;
(iii) must be transferred to the trustee, or its agent; and
(iv) must be immediately available to the scheme, without recourse to the counterparty, in the event of a default by that entity.
The Company monitors its risk by monitoring the credit quality and financial positions of the counterparties the Funds use. The Funds may only trade with approved counterparties. Each Sub-
Investment Manager monitors its list of counterparties on an on-going basis.
Credit risk is controlled through diversified use of counterparties and issuers, and through minimum security ratings and average portfolio ratings. The Sub-Investment Manager may set
portfolio limits and may invest based on internal parameters with mutually agreed limits set at a Fund’s inception, including issue and issuer limitations, credit minimums, and an average
credit quality, and the account is monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure it continues to meet these parameters. Rigorous independent analysis of all credit securities before purchase,
including financial modeling, scenario analysis, and monitoring changes in risk profile may also be performed. Generally no more than 5% of the portfolio may be invested in any single
corporate issuer at the time of purchase.
Each Sub-Investment Manager reviews Funds’ holdings against minimum allowable credit ratings (as applicable) and reports exceptions to the Committee and the Board of Directors. The
Valuation Committee meets at least monthly and whenever the circumstances so require to review and deliberate on valuation concerns including credit. The Sub-Investment Manager
provides risk analysis to the Board and the Committee on a semi-annual basis.

Substantially all of the cash and securities held by the Funds are held via PNC International Bank Limited (formerly PFPC Bank Limited) (the ‘‘Bank’’). Bankruptcy or insolvency by the Bank may
cause the Funds’ rights with respect to the cash held by the Bank to be delayed or limited. The credit rating of the Bank is highly rated by prominent rating agencies. If the credit quality or
financial position of the Bank deteriorates significantly the Sub-Investment Manager will move the cash holdings to another bank. Any securities placed as collateral are disclosed on the
Portfolios of Investments. Cash placed as collateral is disclosed in Note 8.
As at August 31, 2008, balances due from brokers and other receivables were exposed to credit risk. The total amount of financial assets exposed to credit risk approximates to their carrying
value in the Balance Sheet (excluding equities).
The tables below set out a summary of the credit exposure based on credit ratings of the debt securities held in the Fixed Income Funds.

14.3 Liquidity Risk
The Company’s prospectus provides for daily creation and cancellation of shares and it is therefore exposed to the liquidity risk of meeting shareholder redemptions at any time. The
Company invests the majority of its assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of; it invests only a limited proportion of its assets in investments not
actively traded on a recognised stock exchange or regulated market.
The Administrator monitors subscription and redemption volumes and notifies the Sub-Investment Manager of significant movements and unusual trends as appropriate. The Company can
limit redemptions, if redemption requests on any dealing day (as defined in the prospectus) exceed 10 per cent of the shares in issue in respect of any Fund. The Company may defer the
excess redemption requests to subsequent dealing days and shall redeem such shares rateably.
The Company has the ability to borrow in the short-term to ensure settlement. In accordance with the UCITS Regulations a Fund may not borrow money except as follows:
(a) a Fund may acquire foreign currency by means of a "back-to-back" loan; and
(b) a Fund may borrow:
(i) up to 10 per cent of its net asset value provided that such borrowing is on a temporary basis; and
(ii) up to 10 per cent of its net asset value provided that the borrowing is to make possible the acquisition of real property required for the purpose of its business; provided
that such borrowing referred to in subparagraph b(i) and (ii) may not in total exceed 15 per cent of the borrower’s assets.
One of the responsibilities of the Valuation Committee is to review and deliberate on valuation concerns, including illiquid securities. The Company may from time to time invest in derivative
contracts traded over the counter, which are not traded in an organised public market and may be illiquid. As a result, the Company may not be able to liquidate quickly its investments in
these instruments at an amount close to their fair value in order to meet its liquidity requirements or to respond to specific events such as deterioration in the creditworthiness of any
particular issuer.
Details of residual contractual maturities of financial liabilities for each Fund are outlined below:

In accordance with the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2003 (as amended), a statement of largest changes in the
composition of the Portfolio of Investments during the reporting period is provided to ensure that shareholders can identify changes in the investments held by each Fund. These are defined
as the aggregate purchases and sales of an investment (including maturities but excluding repurchase agreements, overnight discount notes and time deposits, which are employed chiefly as
a means of seeking to ensure efficient portfolio management) exceeding 1.00% of the total value of purchases and sales for the period. At a minimum the largest twenty purchases and sales
are listed. If a Fund entered into less than twenty purchases or sales during the reporting period, then all transactions are presented.
