Legg Mason ClearBridge US Appreciation FundAbout the Fund

*Additional information is listed in Schedule III of the Prospectus.

Investment objective: The Fund’s investment objective is to generate long-term capital appreciation.

▪ The Fund will invest at least 70% of its Net Asset Value in equity securities of US Companies, which are listed

or traded on Regulated Markets in the United States*.

▪ Investments should consist of a strong core of growth and value stocks, consisting mainly of blue-chip

companies dominant in their industries

Investment Philosophy

Source: Legg Mason, 31 March 2020. There is no guarantee these objectives will be met.

Investment Objective

• Seeks long-term appreciation of capital

Investment Philosophy

▪ The managers seek to provide consistent and competitive risk-adjusted returns through a market cycle by

balancing upside participation in good markets, while trying to limit downside risk during difficult markets

▪ The managers invest in both growth and value stocks, consisting primarily of large-cap, blue chip companies,

that tend to have dominant market positions

▪ Generally, companies in the portfolio fall into one of the following categories:

− Companies that have assets or earning power that are undervalued or unrecognized by the market, or

companies whose stock price has been driven down by cyclical factors

− Companies with superior demonstrated and expected growth characteristics, whose stocks are available at

reasonable prices due to temporary market or stock specific reasons

− Companies the managers believe are well positioned to sustain or increase growth at a faster rate than

market expectations

▪ The managers use a disciplined valuation process that attempts to measure upside potential and downside

exposure
