Acting with conviction and discipline, Brandywine Global looks beyond short-term, conventional thinking to rigorously pursue long-term value across differentiated fixed income solutions.
Commentary Highlights
March 31, 2026- Markets: The global fixed income market generated weak results during the quarter. Early hopes for moderating inflation and central bank monetary accommodation fell as oil prices surged higher after the war in Iran started. Expectations for central bank rate cuts were replaced by “higher for longer” rates and even the possibility of rate hikes. The U.S. Commerce Department’s second reading for fourth quarter 2025 annualized gross domestic product (GDP) showed a lackluster 0.7% expansion. Overseas, fourth quarter 2025 GDP in the eurozone, UK, and Japan were 0.2%, 0.1%, and 0.3%, respectively, on a quarter-over-quarter basis. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) kept rates on hold during the quarter, as did the Bank of England, European Central Bank, and Bank of Japan. The 10-year US Treasury yield ended the quarter 12 basis points (bps) higher at 4.30%. For the quarter, the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index returned -1.07%.
- Contributors: Currency positioning was additive for returns overall.
- Detractors : The Fund’s rates positioning detracted from performance over the quarter.
- Outlook : In the manager’s view, the current environment call for a more selective approach across global rates, credit, and currencies.

Performance
Average Annual Total Returns
As of 03/31/2026
Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, and investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods. Total returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. Returns with sales charge reflect a deduction of the stated maximum sales charge. Returns without sales charge would have been lower had sales charges been reflected. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

Risks
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks, and possible loss of principal. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls. Low-rated, high-yield bonds are subject to greater price volatility, illiquidity and possibility of default. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations and social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The portfolio is non-diversified and may invest in a relatively small number of issuers, which may negatively impact the fund's performance and result in greater fluctuation in the value of the fund's shares. Leverage increases the volatility of investment returns and subjects investments to magnified losses and a decline in value. The manager may consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in the research or investment process; however, ESG considerations may not be a determinative factor in security selection. In addition, the manager may not assess every investment for ESG criteria, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated. These and other risks are discussed in the fund’s prospectus.
Important Information

Certain share classes are only offered to eligible investors as stated in the prospectus. Different minimums may apply to clients of certain service agents. All classes of shares are not available through all distribution channels. See the Fund's prospectus for additional information.
