10 Investment risks: The opinions and views expressed herein are not intended to be relied upon as a prediction or forecast of actual future events or performance, or a guarantee of future results, or investment advice. Indexes are unmanaged, and not available for direct investment. Index returns do not include fees or sales charges. Common stocks generally provide an opportunity for more capital appreciation than fixed-income investments but are subject to greater market fluctuations. Investments in small-cap and mid-cap companies involve a higher degree of risk and volatility than investments in larger, more established companies. 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. International investments are subject to special risks including currency fluctuations, social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. U.S. Treasuries are direct debt obligations issued and backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The U.S. government guarantees the principal and interest payments on U.S. Treasuries when the securities are held to maturity. Unlike U.S. Treasury securities, 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 U.S. government. Even when the U.S. 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. Active Management does not ensure gains or protect against market declines. Yields and dividends represent past performance and there is no guarantee they will continue to be paid. Please see pages for important disclosures and definitions of terms Page 10
11 Definitions of terms: The cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratio (CAPE) is defined as price divided by the average of ten years of earnings, adjusted for inflation. Dividend yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. The earnings yield is the earnings per share for the most recent 12-month period divided by the current market price per share. It is the inverse of the P/E ratio. EV / EBITDA equals a company's enterprise value divided by earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization. It measures the price (in the form of enterprise value) an investor pays for the benefit of the company's cash flow (in the form of EBITDA). The forward P/E ratio is a stock s (or index s) current price divided by its estimated earnings per share (or estimated index earnings), usually oneyear ahead. Free cash flow (FCF) is measure of financial performance calculated as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures. It represents the cash that a company is able to generate after laying out the money required to maintain or expand its asset base. FCF is important because it allows a company to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value. Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") is an economic statistic which measures the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. Operating earnings is profit earned after subtracting from revenues those expenses that are directly associated with operating the business, such as cost of goods sold, administration and marketing, depreciation and other general operating costs. The price-to-book (P/B) ratio is a stock's price divided by the stock s per share book value. The price-to-cash flow (P/CF) ratio is a stock's price divided by the amount of cash generated per share by a company's operations. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is a stock's price divided by its earnings per share. The price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is a stock's price divided by its sales per share. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks that is generally representative of the performance of larger companies in the U.S. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. Unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. Please see pages for important disclosures and definitions of terms Page 11
12 Important Information All investments involve risk, including possible loss of principal. The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amounts originally invested, and can be affected by changes in interest rates, in exchange rates, general market conditions, political, social and economic developments and other variable factors. Investment involves risks including but not limited to, possible delays in payments and loss of income or capital. Neither Legg Mason nor any of its affiliates guarantees any rate of return or the return of capital invested. Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and 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. International investments are subject to special risks including currency fluctuations, social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.
