Prior to July 7, 2020, this Fund was known as the BrandywineGLOBAL – Global Flexible Income Fund. At that time, the investment objective and strategy also changed.
This fund is the successor to an institutional account (the “Predecessor”). The performance shown prior to 06/01/16 is that of the Predecessor. Immediately prior to the fund commencing operations, the Predecessor transferred its assets to the fund in exchange for the fund’s Class IS shares. The investment policies, objectives, guidelines and restrictions of the fund are in all material respects equivalent to those of the Predecessor. In addition, the Predecessor’s portfolio managers are the current portfolio managers of the fund. As a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the fund is subject to certain restrictions under the 1940 Act to which the Predecessor was not subject. As a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the fund is subject to certain restrictions under the Code to which the Predecessor was not subject. Had the Predecessor been registered under the 1940 Act and been subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, its investment performance could have been adversely affected. Similarly, had the Predecessor been subject to provisions of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies, its investment performance may have been adversely affected. Predecessor performance is shown net of an annual management fee of 0.80% and other expenses of 0.10% which reflects the expenses of the Predecessor. The Predecessor did not have distribution policies. The Predecessor was an unregistered private fund, did not qualify as a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes and did not pay dividends or distributions.
