Risk Factors: Fluctuations in exchange rates can affect the value of the Fund and the income from it. The Fund may, to a limited extent, invest in 'non-investment grade' bonds, which carry a higher degree of default risk than 'investment grade' bonds and may have an increased potential to erode capital. Please refer to the Simplified Prospectus and Prospectus documentation for Legg Mason Global Funds plc, which describe the full risk factors associated with this Fund.
