Risk Factors: Fluctuations in exchange rates can affect the value of the Fund and the income from it. This Fund may select fewer equities in which to invest and this concentration carries more risk than funds investing in a larger number of companies. The use of derivatives involves special risks and costs and may result in losses to the Fund. Other risks arise from the potential inability to terminate or sell derivatives positions. A liquid secondary market may not always exist for the Fund’s derivatives positions at any time. 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.
