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

December 31, 2025

Markets: The global fixed income market edged higher during the fourth quarter, supported by central bank rate cuts, resilient economic growth, and overall solid investor demand. These factors more than offset sticky inflation, chaotic tariff policies, and a 43-day government shutdown in the U.S. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) lowered its benchmark interest rate 0.25% (25 basis points) at its meetings in September, October, and December. The Bank of England (BoE) cut rates 25 basis points (bps) in December, while the European Central Bank kept rates steady. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised rates 25 bps in December to 1.75%, the highest level in 30 years. The 10-year US Treasury yield rose, ending the quarter three basis points higher at 4.18%. U.S. investment-grade and high-yield credit both posted positive total returns, as did U.S. mortgage-backed securities. The emerging market debt asset class rallied in the fourth quarter, while emerging market currencies were mixed versus the U.S. dollar. For the quarter, the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index gained 0.24%, raising its 2026 return to 8.17%.
Contributors: The Fund’s rates positioning added to performance over the quarter.
Detractors : An overweight to the Japanese yen detracted from returns.
Outlook : We expect developed market bond yields to remain broadly range-bound, extending 2025’s unusually quiet trading conditions.

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.

These amounts represent distributions paid by the fund, foreign taxes passed through (if any), and other distribution characteristics for the calendar year selected. These amounts are reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV.

Distributions per Share ($)

Year

Tax Information
Record Date	Ordinary Dividends Dividends paid by a fund that are derived from interest, dividends, net short-term capital gains and other types of ordinary income earned by the fund. For a fund that elects to pass through its foreign taxes paid (a non-cash item), a shareholder's allotted share of foreign taxes has been added to the “Ordinary Dividends” cash distributions received by the shareholder. If the fund passed through foreign taxes paid and later is refunded any portion of those taxes by a foreign tax authority, any interest paid to the fund on that refund is also required to be included in “Ordinary Dividends”.	Qualified Dividends The portion of a fund’s “Ordinary Dividends” that may be eligible for a reduced capital gain tax rate. To be eligible for the lower tax rates, certain holding periods apply and shareholders should consult their tax advisor to determine the amount eligible for the reduced rate. This amount represents both cash distributions and non-cash amounts, such as foreign taxes paid, that have been allocated to shareholders.	Capital Gain Distributions	Unrecaptured Section 1250 Gain	Non-Taxable Return Of Capital	Section 199a Dividends The portion of a fund’s “Ordinary Dividends” generated by a real estate investment trust or earned by a fund from its investments in real estate investment trusts, subject to limitations. Individual (non-corporate) shareholders may be entitled to a special deduction from gross income for “Section 199A Dividends” received from a fund. To qualify for this deduction certain holding periods apply and shareholders should consult their tax advisor.	Foreign Tax Paid	Exempt Interest Dividends	Interest on Tax Reclaim Refunds

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

Total Returns include change in share price, assume reinvestment of all distributions, and reflect the deduction of fund expenses and applicable fees. Total returns, distribution rate, and yields reflect any applicable expense reductions and fee waivers; without these reductions, the results would have been lower.

Most funds offer multiple share classes. Share classes are subject to different fees and expenses, which will affect their performance.

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.

Footnotes

Net Asset Value - the amount per share you would receive if you sold shares that day. NAV Change indicates a change in the Net Asset Value from the previous business day.
Figures are aggregate total return figures, have not been annualized and represent the change in value of an investment over the period indicated.
The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or “star rating”, is calculated for managed products with at least a three-year history, and subject to change monthly. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total return, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total return. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Ratings do not take into account the effects of sales charges and loads. Morningstar Rating is for the specified share class(es) only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. ©2025 Morningstar, Inc. All rights reserved. The information contained herein: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar and/or its content providers; (2) may not be copied or distributed and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information.
Distribution Rate is the total of the trailing 12-month distribution amounts paid, divided by the NAV as of the date indicated. The Distribution Rate calculation includes income and excludes special distributions. The Distribution Rate is subject to change and is not guaranteed nor a quotation of fund performance.
With Waiver means the performance quote reflects any applicable expense reductions and fee waivers.
During periods of rising inflation, fund yields can vary significantly from month-to-month and may not be repeated.
30-Day SEC Yield is calculated using the net income (interest and dividends) per share earned over a trailing 30-day period (annualized), divided by the fund’s share price at the end of that period. It may not equal the fund’s actual income distribution rate, which reflects the fund’s past dividends paid to shareholders.
Gross Expense Ratio reflects the total annual operating expenses for the share class shown, prior to the deduction of any waiver or reimbursement. Actual expenses may be higher and may impact portfolio returns. Net Expense Ratio reflects total expenses after any fee waivers, implemented expense caps or reimbursements. If a fund has contractual fee waivers, expense caps and/or reimbursements, the expiration date can be found by clicking on the information button next to the net expense ratio. Additional amounts may be voluntarily waived and/or reimbursed and may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. Expense ratios are as of the most recent prospectus or annual report.
Net Expense Ratio represents the expense ratio applicable to investors.

Average Coupon is calculated without the deduction of fees and expenses.
Public Offering Price – the purchase price for each share of the fund on a given day. It includes the maximum initial sales charge, if any.
Credit Quality is a measure of a bond issuer's ability to repay interest and principal in a timely manner. The credit ratings shown are based on each portfolio security's rating as provided by S&P Global Ratings, Moody's Investors Service and/or Fitch Ratings, Inc. and typically range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest), or an equivalent and/or similar rating. For this purpose, the manager assigns each security the middle rating from these three agencies. When only two agencies provide ratings, the lower of the two ratings will be assigned. When only one agency assigns a rating, that rating will be used. Foreign government bonds without a specific rating are assigned a country rating, if available. Securities that are unrated by all three agencies are reflected as such. The credit quality of the investments in the portfolio does not apply to the stability or safety of the portfolio. The methodology used for the calculation of credit quality ratings displayed may differ from the methodology for monitoring investment limits, if applicable. Please note, the portfolio itself has not been rated by an independent rating agency.
