Per share amounts have been calculated using the average shares method.
3
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 (unaudited).
4
Calculation of the net gain per share (both realized and unrealized) does not correlate to the aggregate realized and
unrealized losses presented in the Statement of Operations due to the timing of the sales and repurchases of Fund
shares in relation to fluctuating market values of the investments of the Fund.
5
Performance figures, exclusive of sales charges, may reflect compensating balance arrangements, fee waivers and/or
expense reimbursements. In the absence of compensating balance arrangements, fee waivers and/or expense
reimbursements, the total return would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total
returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

expenses, other than interest, brokerage commissions, dividend expense on short sales, taxes, extraordinary expenses
and acquired fund fees and expenses, to average net assets of Class A shares did not exceed 0.96%. This expense
limitation arrangement cannot be terminated prior to December 31, 2027 without the Board of Trustees' consent. In
addition, the manager has agreed to waive the Fund's management fee to an extent sufficient to offset the net
management fee payable in connection with any investment in an affiliated money market fund.

As a result of an expense limitation arrangement, effective August 2, 2021, the ratio of total annual fund operating
expenses, other than interest, brokerage commissions, dividend expense on short sales, taxes, extraordinary expenses
and acquired fund fees and expenses, to average net assets of Class I shares did not exceed 0.67%. This expense
limitation arrangement cannot be terminated prior to December 31, 2027 without the Board of Trustees' consent. In
addition, the manager has agreed to waive the Fund's management fee to an extent sufficient to offset the net
management fee payable in connection with any investment in an affiliated money market fund.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. Organization and significant accounting policies
BrandywineGLOBAL - High Yield Fund (the "Fund") is a separate diversified investment series of Legg Mason Partners Investment Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust, a Maryland statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company.
The Fund, which had no operations prior to July 30, 2021 other than its organization, acquired the assets and liabilities of Diamond Hill High Yield Fund (the "Predecessor Fund"), a series of the Diamond Hill Funds (the "Predecessor Fund's Trust"), on July 30, 2021. As a result of the reorganization (the "Reorganization"), the Predecessor Fund is the accounting survivor and the Fund is the legal entity successor. No costs associated with the Reorganization were incurred by the Fund or Predecessor Fund. Additionally, the Reorganization was a tax-free event. Performance shown for the Fund's Class A, Class I and Class IS shares for the periods prior to July 30, 2021, is the performance of the Predecessor Fund's Investor shares, Class I shares and Class Y shares, respectively. Shareholders of Investor shares, Class I shares and Class Y shares of the Predecessor Fund received an equivalent number of Class A, Class I and Class IS shares of the Fund, respectively, which had net asset values per share equivalent to the shares of the Predecessor Fund. As the accounting survivor, past performance and operating history of the Predecessor Fund are included in these financial statements.
The Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies("ASC 946"). The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including, but not limited to, ASC 946. Estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.
(a) Investment valuation. The valuations for fixed income securities (which may include, but are not limited to, corporate, government, municipal, mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities) and certain derivative instruments are typically the prices supplied by independent third party pricing services, which may use market prices or broker/dealer quotations or a variety of valuation techniques and methodologies. The independent third party pricing services typically use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar securities. Investments in open-endfunds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each fund on the day of valuation. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. When the Fund holds securities or other assets that are denominated in a foreign currency, the Fund will normally use the currency exchange rates as of 4:00 p.m.
BrandywineGLOBAL - High Yield Fund 2026 Semi-Annual Report
21
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (cont'd)
(Eastern Time). If independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices for a portfolio investment, or if the prices supplied are deemed by the manager to be unreliable, the market price may be determined by the manager using quotations from one or more broker/dealers or at the transaction price if the security has recently been purchased and no value has yet been obtained from a pricing service or pricing broker. When reliable prices are not readily available, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Fund calculates its net asset value, the Fund values these securities as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board").
Pursuant to policies adopted by the Board, the Fund's manager has been designated as the valuation designee and is responsible for the oversight of the daily valuation process. The Fund's manager is assisted by the Global Fund Valuation Committee (the "Valuation Committee"). The Valuation Committee is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the Fund's pricing policies, and reporting to the Fund's manager and the Board. When determining the reliability of third party pricing information for investments owned by the Fund, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of pricing vendors, monitors the daily change in prices and reviews transactions among market participants.
The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making fair value determinations. Examples of possible methodologies include, but are not limited to, multiple of earnings; discount from market of a similar freely traded security; discounted cash-flow analysis; book value or a multiple thereof; risk premium/yield analysis; yield to maturity; and/or fundamental investment analysis. The Valuation Committee will also consider factors it deems relevant and appropriate in light of the facts and circumstances. Examples of possible factors include, but are not limited to, the type of security; the issuer's financial statements; the purchase price of the security; the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase; analysts' research and observations from financial institutions; information regarding any transactions or offers with respect to the security; the existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting the security; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies; and the existence of a shelf registration for restricted securities.
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such back testing monthly and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board quarterly.
The Fund uses valuation techniques to measure fair value that are consistent with the market approach and/or income approach, depending on the type of security and the particular circumstance. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information
22
BrandywineGLOBAL - High Yield Fund 2026 Semi-Annual Report
generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to discount estimated future cash flows to present value.
GAAP establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
•
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
•
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
•
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value:

(b) Loan participations. The Fund may invest in loans arranged through private negotiation between one or more financial institutions. The Fund's investment in any such loan may be in the form of a participation in or an assignment of the loan. In connection with purchasing participations, the Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement related to the loan, or any rights of offset against the borrower and the Fund may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the participation.
BrandywineGLOBAL - High Yield Fund 2026 Semi-Annual Report
23
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (cont'd)
The Fund assumes the credit risk of the borrower, the lender that is selling the participation and any other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling the participation, the Fund may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any offset between the lender and the borrower.
(c) Foreign currency translation. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based upon prevailing exchange rates on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based upon prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, including gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, on the date of valuation, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of lower levels of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability.
(d) Credit and market risk. The Fund invests in high-yield and emerging market instruments that are subject to certain credit and market risks. The yields of high-yield and emerging market debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit and market risks. The Fund's investments in securities rated below investment grade typically involve risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk related to timely and ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility and less liquid secondary market trading. The consequences of political, social, economic or diplomatic changes may have disruptive effects on the market prices of investments held by the Fund. The Fund's investments in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities may also result in foreign currency losses caused by devaluations and exchange rate fluctuations.
24
BrandywineGLOBAL - High Yield Fund 2026 Semi-Annual Report
(e) Foreign investment risks. The Fund's investments in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities may be denominated in foreign currencies, may require settlement in foreign currencies or may pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Fund. Foreign investments may also subject the Fund to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments.
(f) Security transactions and investment income. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income (including interest income from payment-in-kind securities) is recorded on the accrual basis. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on debt securities are recorded to interest income over the lives of the respective securities, except for premiums on certain callable debt securities, which are amortized to the earliest call date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practicable after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method. To the extent any issuer defaults or a credit event occurs that impacts the issuer, the Fund may halt any additional interest income accruals and consider the realizability of interest accrued up to the date of default or credit event.
(g) Distributions to shareholders. Distributions from net investment income of the Fund are declared each business day to shareholders of record and are paid monthly. Distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared at least annually. Distributions to shareholders of the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(h) Share class accounting. Investment income, common expenses and realized/unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated to the various classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that share class.
(i) Federal and other taxes. It is the Fund's policy to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Fund intends to distribute its taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders in accordance with timing requirements imposed by the Code. Therefore, no federal or state income tax provision is required in the Fund's financial statements.
Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of December 31, 2025, no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal and state income and federal
BrandywineGLOBAL - High Yield Fund 2026 Semi-Annual Report
25
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (cont'd)
excise tax returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
(j) Reclassification. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
2. Investment management agreement and other transactions with affiliates
Franklin Templeton Fund Adviser, LLC ("FTFA") is the Fund's investment manager and Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC ("Brandywine Global") is the Fund's subadviser. FTFA and Brandywine Global are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Franklin Templeton, Inc. ("Franklin Templeton") (prior to August 17, 2026, known as Franklin Resources, Inc.).
Under the investment management agreement, the Fund pays an investment management fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
FTFA provides administrative and certain oversight services to the Fund. FTFA delegates to the subadviser the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. For its services, FTFA pays Brandywine Global a fee monthly, at an annual rate equal to 70% of the net management fee it receives from the Fund.
As a result of expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and FTFA, the ratio of total annual fund operating expenses, other than interest, brokerage commissions, dividend expense on short sales, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, to average net assets of Class A, Class C, Class I and Class IS shares did not exceed 0.96%, 1.71%, 0.67% and 0.55%, respectively. In addition, the ratio of total annual fund operating expenses for Class IS shares did not exceed the ratio of total annual fund operating expenses for Class I shares. These expense limitation arrangements cannot be terminated prior to December 31, 2027 without the Board's consent. In addition, the manager has agreed to waive the Fund's management fee to an extent sufficient to offset the net management fee payable in connection with any investment in an affiliated money market fund (the "affiliated money market fund waiver"). The affiliated money market fund waiver is not subject to the recapture provision discussed below. 
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed amounted to $151,965, all of which was an affiliated money market fund waiver.
FTFA is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class within three years after the fiscal year in which FTFA earned the fee or incurred the expense if the class' total annual fund operating expenses have fallen to a level below the expense limitation ("expense cap") in effect at the time the fees were earned or the expenses incurred. In no case will FTFA recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the Fund, in the class' total annual fund operating expenses exceeding the expense cap or any other lower limit then in effect.
26
BrandywineGLOBAL - High Yield Fund 2026 Semi-Annual Report
Pursuant to these arrangements, at June 30, 2026, the Fund had no remaining fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements subject to recapture by FTFA.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, FTFA did not recapture any fees.
Franklin Distributors, LLC ("Franklin Distributors") serves as the Fund's sole and exclusive distributor. Franklin Distributors is an indirect, wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Franklin Templeton. Franklin Templeton Investor Services, LLC ("Investor Services") serves as the Fund's shareholder servicing agent and acts as the Fund's transfer agent and dividend-paying agent. Investor Services is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Templeton. Each class of shares of the Fund pays transfer agent fees to Investor Services for its performance of shareholder servicing obligations. Investor Services charges account-basedfees based on the number of individual shareholder accounts, as well as a fixed percentage fee based on the total account-based fees charged. In addition, each class reimburses Investor Services for out of pocket expenses incurred. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Fund incurred transfer agent fees as reported on the Statement of Operations, of which $31,286 was earned by Investor Services.
There is a maximum initial sales charge of 3.75% for Class A shares. There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% on Class C shares, which applies if redemption occurs within 12 months from purchase payment. In certain cases, Class A shares have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within 18 months from purchase payment. This CDSC only applies to those purchases of Class A shares, which, when combined with current holdings of other shares of funds sold by Franklin Distributors, equal or exceed $500,000 in the aggregate. These purchases do not incur an initial sales charge.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, sales charges retained by and CDSCs paid to Franklin Distributors and its affiliates, if any, were as follows:

Board Approval of Management and Subadvisory Agreements (unaudited)
At an in-person meeting of the Board of Trustees of Legg Mason Partners Investment Trust (the "Trust") held on May 6-7, 2026, the Board, including the Trustees who are not considered to be "interested persons" of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), approved for an annual period the continuation of the management agreement (the "Management Agreement") between the Trust and Franklin Templeton Fund Adviser, LLC (the "Manager") with respect to BrandywineGLOBAL - High Yield Fund, a series of the Trust (the "Fund"), and the sub-advisoryagreement pursuant to which Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser") provides day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio. The management agreement and sub-advisory agreement are collectively referred to as the "Agreements."
Background
The Board received extensive information in advance of the meeting to assist it in its consideration of the Agreements and asked questions and requested additional information from management. Throughout the year the Board (including its various committees) had met with representatives of the Manager and the Sub-Adviser and had received information relevant to the renewal of the Agreements. Prior to the meeting the Independent Trustees met with their independent legal counsel to discuss and consider the information provided and submitted questions to management, and they considered the responses provided. The Board received and considered a variety of information about the Manager and the Sub-Adviser,as well as the management and sub-advisory arrangements for the Fund and other funds overseen by the Board, certain portions of which are discussed below. The information received and considered by the Board both in conjunction with the May 2026 meeting and throughout the year was both written and oral. The contractual arrangements discussed below are the product of multiple years of review and negotiation and information received and considered by the Board during those years.
The information provided and presentations made to the Board encompassed the Fund and all funds for which the Board has responsibility. The discussion below covers both the advisory and the administrative functions being rendered by the Manager, both of which functions are encompassed by the Management Agreement, as well as the advisory functions rendered by the Sub-Adviser pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Board approval of management agreement and sub-advisory agreement
The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the
BrandywineGLOBAL - High Yield Fund
33
Board Approval of Management and Subadvisory Agreements (unaudited) (cont'd)
Manager and Sub-Adviser were present. The Independent Trustees considered the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement separately in the course of their review. In doing so, they noted the respective roles of the Manager and the Sub-Adviser in providing services to the Fund.
In approving the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered a variety of factors, including those factors discussed below. No single factor reviewed by the Board was identified by the Board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. Each Trustee may have attributed different weight to the various factors in evaluating the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
After considering all relevant factors and information, the Board, exercising its business judgment, determined that the continuation of the Agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and approved the continuation of each such agreement for another year.
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the management agreement and sub-advisory agreement
The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively, during the past year. The Board noted information received at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by the Manager in its management of the Fund's affairs and the Manager's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service providers. The Board's evaluation of the services provided by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser took into account the Board's knowledge gained as Trustees of funds in the fund complex overseen by the Trustees, including knowledge gained regarding the scope and quality of the investment management and other capabilities of the Manager and the Sub-Adviser, and the quality of the Manager's administrative and other services. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser, and of the undertakings required of the Manager and Sub-Adviser in connection with those services, including maintaining and monitoring their own and the Fund's compliance programs, liquidity risk management programs, derivatives risk management programs, cybersecurity programs and valuation-relatedpolicies, had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other developments. The Board also noted that on a regular basis it received and reviewed information from the Manager regarding the Fund's compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board also considered the risks associated with the Fund borne by the Manager and its affiliates (such as entrepreneurial, operational, reputational, litigation and regulatory risk), as well as the Manager's and the Sub-Adviser's risk management processes.
34
BrandywineGLOBAL - High Yield Fund
The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the Manager's and the Sub-Adviser's senior personnel and the team of investment professionals primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. The Board also considered, based on its knowledge of the Manager and the Manager's affiliates, the financial resources of Franklin Templeton, Inc. (prior to August 17, 2026, known as Franklin Resources, Inc.), the parent organization of the Manager and the Sub-Adviser. The Board recognized the importance of having a fund manager with significant resources.
The Board considered the division of responsibilities between the Manager and the Sub-Adviserand the oversight provided by the Manager. The Board also considered the policies and practices of the Manager and the Sub-Adviser regarding the selection of brokers and dealers and the execution of portfolio transactions. The Board considered management's periodic reports to the Board on, among other things, its business plans, any organizational changes and portfolio manager compensation.
The Board received and considered performance information for the Fund as well as for a group of funds (the "Performance Universe") selected by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"), an independent provider of investment company data, based on classifications provided by Thomson Reuters Lipper ("Lipper"). The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used to determine the similarity of the Fund with the funds included in the Performance Universe. It was noted that while the Board found the Broadridge data generally useful, they recognized its limitations, including that the data may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection of the peer group and its composition over time. The Board also noted that it had received and discussed with management throughout the year at periodic intervals information comparing the Fund's performance against its benchmark and against the Fund's peers. The Board also considered the Fund's performance in light of overall financial market conditions.
The information comparing the Fund's performance to that of its Performance Universe, consisting of funds (including the Fund) classified as high yield funds by Lipper, showed, among other data, that the performance of the Fund's Class I shares was above the median performance of the funds in the Performance Universe for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ended December 31, 2025 and below the median performance of the funds in the Performance Universe for the 1-year period ended December 31, 2025. The Board noted the explanations from the Manager and the Sub-Adviser concerning the reasons for the Fund's relative performance versus the peer group for the various periods.
The Board concluded that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided), including performance, under the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement were sufficient for renewal.

Management fees and expense ratios
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee payable by the Fund to the Manager (the "Contractual Management Fee") and the actual management fees paid by the Fund to the Manager after giving effect to breakpoints and waivers, if any (the "Actual Management Fee"), in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management and sub-advisory services provided by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser, respectively. The Board also considered that fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements are currently in place for the Fund. The Board also noted that the compensation paid to the Sub-Adviser is the responsibility and expense of the Manager, not the Fund.
The Board received and considered information provided by Broadridge comparing the Contractual Management Fee and the Actual Management Fee and the Fund's total actual expenses with those of funds in both the relevant expense group and a broader group of funds, each selected by Broadridge based on classifications provided by Lipper. It was noted that while the Board found the Broadridge data generally useful, they recognized its limitations, including that the data may vary depending on the selection of the peer group. The Board also reviewed information regarding fees charged by the Manager and/or the Sub-Adviser to other U.S. clients investing primarily in an asset class similar to that of the Fund, including, where applicable, institutional separate and commingled accounts, retail managed accounts, and third-party sub-advised funds.
The Manager reviewed with the Board the differences in services provided to these different types of accounts, noting that the Fund is provided with certain administrative services, office facilities, and Fund officers (including the Fund's chief executive, chief financial and chief compliance officers), and that the Manager coordinates and oversees the provision of services to the Fund by other Fund service providers. The Board considered the fee comparisons in light of the differences in management of these different types of accounts, and the differences in the degree of entrepreneurial and other risks borne by the Manager in managing the Fund and in managing other types of accounts.
The Board considered the overall management fee, the fee of the Sub-Adviser and the amount of the management fee retained by the Manager after payment of the sub-advisory fee, in each case in light of the services rendered for those amounts. The Board also received an analysis of complex-wide management fees provided by the Manager, which, among other things, set out a framework of fees based on asset classes.
The Board also received and considered information comparing the Fund's Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee as well as its actual total expense ratio with those of a group of funds consisting of 16 high yield funds (including the Fund) selected by Broadridge to be comparable to the Fund (the "Expense Group"), and a broader group of funds selected by Broadridge consisting of high yield funds (including the Fund) (the "Expense Universe"). This information showed that the Fund's Contractual Management Fee
36
BrandywineGLOBAL - High Yield Fund
was approximately equivalent to the median of management fees payable by the funds in the Expense Group and that the Fund's Actual Management Fee was approximately equivalent to the median of management fees paid by the funds in the Expense Group and approximately equivalent to the median of management fees paid by the funds in the Expense Universe. This information also showed that the Fund's actual total expense ratio was approximately equivalent to the median of the total expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Group and approximately equivalent to the median of the actual total expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Universe. The Board also considered that the current limitation on the Fund's expenses is expected to continue until and expire on December 31, 2027.
Taking all of the above into consideration, as well as the factors identified below, the Board determined that the management fee and the sub-advisory fee for the Fund were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Manager profitability
The Board received and considered an analysis of the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Board also received profitability information with respect to Franklin Templeton's investment management business. The Board received information with respect to the Manager's allocation methodologies used in preparing this profitability data. It was noted that the allocation methodologies had been reviewed by an outside consultant. The profitability of the Manager and its affiliates was considered by the Board not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund.
Economies of scale
The Board received and discussed information concerning whether the Manager realizes economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund as the Fund's assets grow.
The Board determined that the management fee structure for the Fund was reasonable.
Other benefits to the manager and the sub-adviser
The Board considered other benefits received by the Manager, the Sub-Adviser and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including the opportunity to offer additional products and services to Fund shareholders, including the appointment of an affiliate of the Manager as the transfer agent of the Fund.
In light of the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Fund and the ongoing commitment of the Manager and the Sub-Adviser to the Fund, the Board considered that the ancillary benefits that the Manager, the Sub-Adviser and their affiliates received were reasonable.
