3 Your investment portfolio Balanced Income Legg Mason Balanced Income Portfolios Overview The Balanced Income Portfolios pursue an objective of long-term growth and high current income through a combination of asset allocation and fundamental security analysis Legg Mason s ClearBridge subsidiary determines the portfolios allocations among equities, fixed income securities and cash equivalents and also selects equity investments for the portfolios Fixed income investments are managed on the basis of investment instructions furnished by Western Asset Philosophy We believe: a combination of steady income and conservative capital growth can be achieved in a single portfolio; and blending top-down macroeconomic research with bottom-up fundamental analysis may enhance the portfolio s overall return Objectives The strategy seeks to: achieve long term capital growth; provide a high level of current income by investing in high-quality, undervalued companies and select fixed-income instruments; and outperform a 70/30 blend of the Russell 1000 Value Index and the Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate Treasury Bond Index For tax-exempt securities, certain investors may be subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), and state and local taxes will apply Capital gains, if any, are fully taxable Depends on individual tax situation Please see Disclaimer for important tax information Risks: All investments involve risk, including the loss of principal, and there is no guarantee that investment objectives will be met Investments may be made in small- and mid-cap companies, which involve a higher degree of risk and volatility than investments in large-cap companies While most investments are in US companies, investments may also be made in ADRs and other securities of non-us companies in developed and emerging markets which involve risks in addition to those ordinarily associated with investing in domestic securities, including the potentially negative effects of currency fluctuation, political and economic developments, foreign taxation and differences in auditing and other financial standards These risks are magnified in emerging markets Investments may include ETFs representing US securities markets, industry and market capitalization sectors, non-us country and regional markets, and other types of non-us markets and sectors In addition, a client will bear a proportionate share of the separate fees and expensed incurred by any ETF in which the clients account is invested Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate and credit risk, which is a possibility that the issuer of a security will be unable to make interest payments and repay the principal on its debt As interest rates rise, the price of fixed income securities falls US Treasuries are direct debt obligations issued and backed by the full faith and credit of the US government The US government guarantees the principal and interest payments on US Treasuries when the securities are held to maturity Unlike US Treasuries, debt securities issued by the federal agencies and instrumentalities and related investments may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the US government Even when the US government guarantees principal and interest payments on securities, this guarantee does not apply to losses resulting from declines in the market value of these securities Tapering of the Federal Reserve Board s quantitative easing program and a general rise in interest rates may lead to increased portfolio volatility The Bloomberg Barclays US Intermediate Treasury Bond Index is composed of all public obligations of the US Treasury This index has an average current maturity of 369 years (average maturity may vary over time) The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratio ratios and lower forecasted growth values An investor cannot invest directly in an index The index is not managed and not subject to management or brokerage commission Dividends are subject to reinvestment 3

17 Appendix Term Definitions Definitions Term definitions Market Capitalization measures the number of outstanding common shares of a given corporation multiplied by the latest price per share Weighted Median Market Capitalization represents the value at which half the portfolio s market capitalization weight falls above and half falls below Weighted Average Market Capitalization represents the average value of the companies held in the portfolio When that figure is weighted, the impact of each company s capitalization on the overall average is proportional to the total market value of its shares Dividend Yield is determined by dividing a stock s annual dividends per share by the current market price per share Dividend yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends P/E (Year 1) is the previous day s closing price of the stock divided by the consensus earnings per share (EPS) of fiscal year 1 (FY1) provided by I/B/E/S Forecasts are inherently limited and should not be relied upon as indicators of future performance The Price-to-Book ratio (P/B) is a stock s price divided by the stock s per share book value Earnings Per Share (EPS) is the portion of a company s profit allocated to each outstanding share of a common stock The Sharpe Ratio is a risk-adjusted measure, calculated using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk The higher the Sharpe Ratio, the better the portfolio s historical adjusted performance Alpha is a measure of the difference between actual returns and expected performance, given the level of risk as measured by Beta, where Beta measures sensitivity to benchmark movements R-Squared measures the strength of the linear relationship between the portfolio and its benchmark R-squared at 10 implies perfect linear relationship and zero implies no relationship exists Standard Deviation is based on quarterly data Standard deviation is a measure of the variability of returns; the higher the standard deviation, the greater the range of performance (ie, volatility) The Capture Ratios measure a manager s composite performance relative to the benchmark, considering only those quarters that are either positive (Up) or negative (Down) for the benchmark An Up Market Capture Ratio greater than 10 indicates a manager who has outperformed the benchmark in the benchmark s positive quarters A Down Market Capture Ratio of less than 10 indicates a manager who has outperformed the relative benchmark in the benchmark s negative quarters Maturity is the date at which a debt instrument is due and payable A bond due to mature on January 1, 2010, will return the bondholder s principal and final interest payment when it reaches maturity on that date Bond yields are frequently calculated on a yield-to-maturity basis Duration (Modified Duration) is the measure of the price sensitivity of a fixed income security to an interest rate change of 100 basis points Calculation is based on the weighted average of the present values for all cash flows Yield to Worst (YTW) is based on a portfolio s current holdings on one specific day, is gross of all portfolio expenses, and is calculated based on assumptions that prepayment occurs if the bond has call or put provisions and the issuer can offer a lower coupon rate based on current market rates If market rates are higher than the current yield of a bond, the YTW calculation will assume no prepayments are made, and YTW will equal the yield to maturity The YTW will be the lowest of yield to maturity or yield to call (if the bond has prepayment provisions) The YTW of a bond portfolio is the market-weighted average of the YTWs of all the bonds in the portfolio Insured municipal bonds are ones where scheduled interest and principal payments are guaranteed by AAA-rated municipal bond insurers General Obligation municipal bonds are backed by the credit and taxing power of the issuing jurisdiction rather than the revenue of a given project Revenue bonds are municipal bonds supported by the revenue from a specific project Pre-refunded bonds are municipal bonds that are generally backed or secured by US Treasury bonds Effective Duration is a duration calculation for bonds with embedded options Effective duration takes into account that expected cash flows will fluctuate as interest rates change Average Maturity is the average length of maturity for all fixed-rate debt instruments held in a portfolio Average Coupon based on the portfolio s underlying holdings, which may differ and are subject to change Coupon rate is the annual coupon payments paid by the issuer relative to a bond s face or par value Yield to Maturity - The rate of return anticipated on a bond if it is held until the maturity date The calculation of YTM takes into account the current market price, par value, coupon interest rate and time to maturity The Sharpe Ratio is a risk-adjusted measure that is calculated using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk The higher the Sharpe Ratio, the better the portfolio s historical adjusted performance 17
