The fund initially expects to allocate its assets among five investment “sleeves” which the adviser believes are generally complementary to each other, with the following target allocations of the fund’s net assets: <ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:20px">Inflation-Linked Debt Securities (40%) </li></ul><ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:20px">Equity Securities (20%) </li></ul><ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:20px">Commodity-Linked Securities (20%) </li></ul><ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:20px">Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) (10%) </li></ul><ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:20px">Tactical Strategy (10%) </li></ul>The composition and asset allocation of the fund’s investment portfolio will vary over time, based on LMGAA’s overall allocation decisions, and may be changed without shareholder approval. Asset allocation decisions are based primarily on LMGAA’s evaluation of future consumer price trends and the relative attractiveness of the asset classes in which the fund invests. These evaluations are based on modeling processes that assign probabilities to different inflation scenarios. The processes take into account several factors, including quantitative analysis, qualitative inputs and risk management guidelines. Actual allocations may deviate from each target allocation shown above by up to 50% of such target allocation. Holdings in a particular strategy may also vary because of performance differences among the different strategies. The fund utilizes a “multi-manager” approach, whereby each subadviser and the adviser provide day-to-day management for one or more of the investment sleeves. Each subadviser and the adviser use different investment strategies in managing the sleeves, act independently from the others in their management of the investment sleeve for which they are responsible, and use their own methodology for selecting investments. Currently, Western Asset Management Company (“Western Asset”), Western Asset Management Company Limited in London (“WAML”) and Western Asset Management Company Ltd. in Japan (“Western Japan”) manage the Inflation-Linked Debt Securities Sleeve, Batterymarch Financial Management, Inc. (“Batterymarch”) manages the Equity Securities Sleeve and LMGAA manages the Commodity-Linked Securities Sleeve, the REITs Sleeve and the Tactical Strategy Sleeve. LMGAA may also allocate a portion of the fund’s assets to ClearBridge Advisors, LLC, either in place of, or in addition to, the subadvisers named above. Under normal market conditions, the Inflation-Linked Debt Securities Sleeve will invest at least 80% of its net assets in inflation-indexed fixed income securities and at least 70% of its net assets in U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”). The sleeve may also invest in foreign and domestic bonds, debentures and notes and high yield securities. Although the sleeve is expected to maintain a dollar-weighted average credit quality of at least A/A, it may invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Investment grade securities are securities rated at the time of purchase by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization (“NRSRO”) within one of the top four categories, or, if unrated, determined by the applicable subadviser to be of comparable credit quality. Although the sleeve may invest in fixed income securities of any maturity, the target average effective duration of the sleeve is expected to range within 3 years of the Barclays Capital U.S. Government Inflation-linked Bond (“U.S. TIPS”) Index. Based on the securities that make up the U.S. TIPS Index, the range within which the average effective duration of the sleeve is currently expected to fluctuate is 6-12 years, although this may vary. The sleeve may also sell protection in connection with credit default swaps relating to corporate debt securities. The notional amount of the credit default swaps will not exceed 20% of the sleeve’s net assets. The sleeve’s portfolio managers employ an active process that is both top-down and bottom-up. The managers believe that unique value opportunities can be identified through in-depth and disciplined issue, issuer and sub-sector selection. Duration management, yield curve positioning and sector exposure driven by long-term perceptions of economic behavior and relative valuations are integral to the portfolio managers’ investment process. Under normal market conditions, the Equity Securities Sleeve invests primarily in the common stock of domestic and foreign issuers, particularly issuers that have historically shown higher than average correlations to the components (core and food/energy) of the U.S. Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). The sleeve may invest in both U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, and may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities of issuers located in emerging markets. The sleeve may invest a portion of its net assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers, and may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities of issuers located in emerging markets. The Equity Securities Sleeve of the fund may invest in securities of companies of any market capitalization, including large-, mid- and small-capitalization companies. The sleeve usually invests in securities listed on securities exchanges, although it may invest up to 10% of its net assets in securities that are not registered for sale to the general public. The sleeve may invest directly in foreign securities or may invest in depositary receipts for securities of foreign issuers. The sleeve may, but is not required to, enter into forward currency transactions to buy or sell currencies at a future date. The sleeve may enter into these forward currency contracts only to settle transactions in securities quoted in foreign currencies and for hedging purposes. The sleeve may invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other investment companies to pursue its strategies. The portfolio managers use a blend of quantitative and fundamental investment techniques to select investments. Under normal market conditions, the Commodity-Linked Securities Sleeve invests primarily in a combination of commodity-linked instruments that provide exposure to the investment returns of the commodities markets, without investing directly in physical commodities. These instruments include master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), structured notes, bonds, debentures and derivatives, including swaps, forwards, futures and options. The sleeve may invest in these instruments through a wholly-owned subsidiary managed by LMGAA, other investment companies, ETFs and exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”) and may invest in cash, cash equivalents, money market funds or other similar instruments. Commodities are assets that have tangible properties, such as oil, metals and agricultural products. The sleeve’s portfolio managers use fundamental investment techniques to select investments. Under normal market conditions, the REITs Sleeve attempts to obtain exposure to the investment returns of the real estate markets by investing primarily in ETFs that hold U.S. and non-U.S. equity securities issued by REITs. Under normal market conditions, the Tactical Strategy Sleeve attempts to diversify the fund’s risk exposure by investing in asset classes that LMGAA believes will deliver returns that are not highly correlated with those of the fund’s other asset classes, especially during times of high market volatility and market stress. To achieve this goal, the sleeve uses a variety of quantitative and fundamental asset allocation and investment techniques. Determination of asset class exposure and selection of investment techniques depends on LMGAA’s analysis of economic trends and LMGAA’s predictions as to how various instruments and markets will correlate to one another and to economic developments. The sleeve may invest in investment companies, including ETFs, that hold domestic and foreign (including emerging markets) equity and fixed income securities, cash, cash equivalents and/or Treasury bonds. The fund may invest in “short” ETFs that seek a return similar to the inverse, or a multiple of the inverse, of a reference index. Certain investment companies and/or ETFs that the fund may invest in are benchmarked to indices that use a futures-based momentum methodology in an attempt to track prices of commodity and financial futures contracts. Investment companies using this methodology typically short the market when quantitative models anticipate declining prices. The sleeve may invest in futures to gain exposure to equity and fixed income markets and may invest in equity and equity volatility options to attempt to mitigate the effects of large unexpected declines in equity and other capital markets. The sleeve may also invest in certain currency derivatives in connection with the fund’s 50% target net exposure to non-U.S. Dollar currencies. Under normal market conditions, the fund expects to target a 50% net exposure to the U.S. Dollar (USD). Each subadviser manages its sleeve’s currency exposure independently of the fund’s overall USD exposure target. LMGAA will monitor and calculate the fund’s currency exposure daily. For purposes of this calculation, currency exposure will be determined by the local currency of a security’s issuer. To maintain the fund’s target currency exposure, LMGAA will purchase (as needed) currency instruments such as currency swaps and forward currency contracts using assets from the Tactical Strategy Sleeve. LMGAA will purchase currency instruments based on its analysis of which foreign currencies it believes may provide the most effective hedges against future increases in U.S. inflation. At times, the fund may deviate either up or down from its target currency allocation due to market conditions. In addition, the fund at times may be both long and short foreign currencies in its non-USD allocation. The fund will not necessarily hedge its foreign currency exposure. The fund may borrow money, including for investment and cash management purposes, in amounts up to 33-1/3% of the fund’s total assets, including borrowings, a practice known as “leveraging.” In addition, the fund may engage in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including investments in derivatives such as futures and options for hedging and non-hedging purposes. The fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in these types of investments. The fund may take temporary defensive and cash management positions; in such a case, the fund will not be pursuing its principal investment strategies and may not achieve its investment objective. <a name="tx396766_1"></a>Investment objective <a name="tx396766_2"></a>Fees and expenses of the fund <a name="tx396768_1"></a>Investment objective Portfolio turnover. <a name="tx396766_3"></a>Principal investment strategies <a name="tx396768_2"></a>Fees and expenses of the fund Risk is inherent in all investing. There is no assurance that the fund will meet its investment objective. The value of your investment in the fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly. You may lose part or all of your investment in the fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. The following is a summary description of certain risks of investing in the fund. The fund may be exposed to these risks directly or indirectly as a result of its investments in investment vehicles such as the fund’s wholly-owned subsidiary, other investment companies, ETFs, ETNs and MLPs. The fund is intended primarily to provide a long-term return that is greater than the effects of inflation; however, there is no assurance that it will do so. The fund will not necessarily protect against a loss, and may underperform against the broader equity markets. Inflationary periods may differ from one another in their effect on the securities, commodities and real estate markets, depending on, among other reasons, the root causes of the inflation, whether it is accompanied by other macroeconomic phenomena, and the nature and extent of any governmental programs to curtail the inflation. The adviser will allocate the assets to the sleeves based on its evaluation of the factors causing and surrounding inflation or that may impact inflationary trends in the future, and its predictions as to how the securities and commodity instruments and markets will perform, and as to whether and how it believes the various instruments and markets will correlate to one another and to economic trends, if at all. It may be very difficult to predict these matters. If the adviser is incorrect in its efforts to forecast or evaluate these factors or optimally allocate assets, fund performance may be affected negatively. The portfolio managers’ selection of various instruments for the fund is based in part on historical data showing their performance in previous inflationary and other periods. Certain instruments the fund will use have not been in existence long enough to have a history that reflects prior periods of high inflation or other economic events. Instruments may also deviate from their historic patterns. Market and interest rate risk. The market prices of the fund’s securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. When market prices fall, the value of your investment will go down. The value of your investment may also go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. The financial crisis that began in 2008 has caused a significant decline in the value and liquidity of many securities of issuers worldwide. Some governmental and non-governmental issuers (notably in Europe) have defaulted on, or been forced to restructure, their debts, and many other issuers have faced difficulties obtaining credit. These market conditions may continue, worsen or spread, including in the United States, Europe and beyond. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and others of their debt could have additional adverse effects on economies, financial markets and asset valuations around the world. In response to the crisis, the U.S. and other governments and the Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks have taken steps to support financial markets. The withdrawal of this support, failure of efforts in response to the crisis, or investor perception that these efforts are not succeeding could negatively affect financial markets generally as well as the value and liquidity of certain securities. Whether or not the fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the conditions in the countries experiencing the difficulties. In addition, policy and legislative changes in the United States and in other countries are changing many aspects of financial regulation. The impact of these changes on the markets, and the practical implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time. Issuer risk. The value of a security can go up or down more than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole, often due to disappointing earnings reports by the issuer, unsuccessful products or services, loss of major customers, major litigation against the issuer or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or the competitive environment. The fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on an individual security. The fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on an individual security. Historically, the prices of securities of small and medium capitalization companies have generally gone up or down more than those of large capitalization companies, although even large capitalization companies may fall out of favor with investors. Non-diversification risk. The fund is classified as “non-diversified,” which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a small number of issuers than a diversified fund. To the extent the fund invests its assets in fewer issuers, the fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers than a diversified fund. Multi-manager risk. While LMGAA monitors the investments of each subadviser and monitors the overall management of the fund, the adviser and each subadviser make investment decisions for the investment sleeves independently from one another. It is possible that the investment styles used by a subadviser or adviser in an investment sleeve will not always be complementary to those used by others, which could adversely affect the performance of the fund. Portfolio selection risk. The value of your investment may decrease if the portfolio managers' judgment about the attractiveness or value of or market trends affecting a particular security, industry, sector, or region, or about interest rates is incorrect. Although the portfolio managers may attempt to hedge or protect against fund losses, there is no assurance that their judgment about whether and when to do so will be correct, or that hedges will succeed. Hedging strategies may not always work as intended, and in specific cases the fund may be worse off than if it had not used such strategies. Model risk. Any investment models used by the portfolio managers may not adequately take into account certain factors and may result in the fund having a lower return than if the fund were managed using another model or investment strategy. Market sector risk. The fund may be significantly overweight or underweight certain companies, industries or market sectors, which may cause the fund’s performance to be more sensitive to developments affecting those companies, industries or sectors. Large capitalization company risk. Large capitalization companies may fall out of favor with investors. Small and medium capitalization company risk. The fund will be exposed to additional risks as a result of its investments in the securities of small and medium capitalization companies. Small and medium capitalization companies may fall out of favor with investors; may have limited product lines, operating histories, markets or financial resources; or may be dependent upon a limited management group. The prices of securities of small and medium capitalization companies generally are more volatile than those of large capitalization companies and are more likely to be adversely affected than large capitalization companies by changes in earnings results and investor expectations or poor economic or market conditions, including those experienced during a recession. Securities of small and medium capitalization companies may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate and may offer greater potential for losses. Liquidity risk. Some securities held by the fund may be difficult to sell, or illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may also be difficult to value. If the fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the fund may be forced to sell at a loss. Leveraging risk. The value of your investment may be more volatile if the fund borrows or uses derivatives or other investments that have a leveraging effect on the fund’s portfolio. Other risks also will be compounded. This is because leverage generally magnifies the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of an asset and creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the fund would otherwise have had, potentially resulting in the loss of all assets. The fund may also have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations. Credit risk. If an issuer or guarantor of a security held by the fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the fund defaults or is downgraded, or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or if the value of the assets underlying a security declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. Junk bonds have a higher risk of default and are considered speculative. High yield or “junk” bond risk. Debt securities that are below investment grade, often called “junk bonds,” are speculative, have a higher risk of default or may be in default, tend to be less liquid and are more difficult to value than higher grade securities. Junk bonds tend to be volatile and more susceptible to the effects of adverse events and negative sentiments. Prepayment or call risk. Many issuers have a right to prepay their securities. If interest rates fall, an issuer may exercise this right. If this happens, the fund will be forced to reinvest prepayment proceeds at a time when yields on securities available in the market are lower than the yield on the prepaid security. The fund may also lose any premium it paid on the security. Foreign investments risk. The fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers involve greater risk than investments in securities of U.S. issuers. Foreign countries in which the fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets, may suffer from political or economic instability and may experience negative government actions, such as currency controls or seizures of private businesses or property. In some foreign countries, less information is available about issuers and markets because of less rigorous accounting and regulatory standards than in the United States. Sovereign government and supranational debt involve many of the risks of foreign and emerging markets investments as well as the risk of debt moratorium, repudiation or renegotiation and the fund may be unable to enforce its rights against the issuers. Some securities issued by foreign governments or their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the foreign government and some foreign governments have defaulted on principal and interest payments. Emerging markets risk. The risks are greater for investments in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have economic, political systems, and legal systems that are less fully developed and are less stable than those of more advanced countries. Lower trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and increased price volatility. An investment in any fund that invests in emerging market securities should be considered speculative. Currency risk. The value of investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. Currency exchange rates can be volatile, and are affected by factors such as general economic conditions, the actions of the U.S. and foreign governments or central banks, the imposition of currency controls and speculation. The fund will also incur currency conversion costs. Derivatives risk. Using derivatives, especially for non-hedging purposes, can increase fund losses and can reduce opportunities for gains when market prices, interest rates, currency rates or the derivative instruments themselves behave in a way not anticipated by the fund. Using derivatives also can have a leveraging effect and increase fund volatility. Derivatives may be difficult to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty may default on its obligations to the fund. Using derivatives may also have adverse tax consequences for the fund’s shareholders. Recent legislation calls for new regulation of the derivatives markets. The extent and impact of the regulation are not yet fully known and may not be known for some time. New regulation of derivatives may make them more costly, may limit their availability, or may otherwise adversely affect their value or performance. Swap agreements, a type of derivative instrument, will tend to shift the fund’s investment exposure from one type of investment to another. Credit default swap contracts, a type of derivative instrument, involve special risks, including leverage risks, liquidity risks and increased credit risk, and may result in sudden and substantial losses to the fund. They may also be difficult to value. Structured notes are often more volatile, less liquid and may be more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities and instruments or more traditional debt securities. Currency derivatives risk. Currency futures, forwards or options may not always work as intended, and in specific cases the fund may be worse off than if it had not used such instrument(s). There may not always be suitable hedging instruments available. Even where suitable hedging instruments are available, the portfolio managers may determine not to hedge its currency risks. Hedging risk. There can be no assurance that the fund will engage in hedging transactions at any given time, even under volatile market conditions, or that any hedging transactions the fund engages in will be successful. Hedging transactions involve costs and may reduce gains or result in losses. Commodities risk. Investing in commodity-linked instruments may subject the fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, prolonged or intense speculation by investors, changes in interest rates or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, other weather phenomena, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. Regulatory risk. In February 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that could subject the manager of the fund to registration with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator (“CPO”) if the fund is unable to comply with certain trading and marketing limitations. Compliance with these additional registration and regulatory requirements would increase fund expenses. In the event that the manager is required to register as a CPO, the fund’s disclosure and operations would need to comply with all applicable CFTC regulations. The fund and the manager are continuing to analyze the effect of these rules changes on the fund. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or the CFTC could at any time alter the current regulatory requirements governing the use of derivatives by mutual funds. Segregated assets risk. In connection with certain transactions that may give rise to future payment obligations, including many types of derivatives, the fund may be required to maintain a segregated amount of cash or liquid securities to cover the position. Segregated securities cannot be sold while the position they are covering is outstanding, unless they are replaced with other securities of equal value. As a result, there is the possibility that segregation of a large percentage of the fund's assets may, in some circumstances, limit the portfolio managers’ flexibility. Inflation-indexed securities risk. The values of inflation-indexed fixed income securities generally fluctuate in response to changes in real interest rates (approximately nominal interest rates minus the inflation rate). Although the principal value of many inflation-indexed securities declines in periods of deflation, holders at maturity receive no less than the par value of the security. However, if the fund purchases inflation-indexed securities in the secondary market whose principal values have been adjusted upward due to inflation since issuance, the fund may experience a loss if there is a subsequent period of deflation or lower level of inflation. If inflation is lower than expected during the period the fund holds an inflation-indexed security, the fund may earn less on the security than on a conventional bond. Because an increase in principal value of an inflation-indexed security is treated as taxable income to the owner in the year the adjustment is made, even though no cash is paid out, the fund could be required to sell other securities to pay taxes on this income, including when it is not advantageous to do so. Inflation-indexed securities do not protect against the decline in value of debt securities caused by increases in nominal interest rates. MLP risk. The value of an investment in master limited partnerships, or MLPs, may be directly affected by factors affecting natural resources commodity prices and the commodity markets generally. REIT risk. The value of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or REITs, may be affected by the condition of the economy as a whole and changes in the value of the underlying real estate, the creditworthiness of the issuer of the investments and property taxes, interest rates, liquidity of the credit markets and the real estate regulatory environment. REITs that concentrate their holdings in specific businesses, such as apartments, offices or retail space, will be affected by conditions affecting those businesses. Short positions risk. The fund may invest in exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, which engage in short sales (the sale by the ETF of a security or other asset that it does not own with the hope of purchasing the same asset at a later date at a lower price). The fund may also enter into a short position through a short derivative position using a futures contract or swap agreement. The fund may suffer significant losses if assets on which the fund or ETF holds a short position appreciate rather than depreciate in value. The amount of any gain will be decreased, and the amount of any loss increased, by the amount of the premium, dividends, interest or expenses the fund or ETF may be required to pay in connection with the transaction. While the possible loss on a security that is purchased is limited to the price paid for the security, there is no limit on the amount of loss on a security on which the fund holds a short position. ETF and ETN risk. The fund may gain exposure to commodities, REITs and other investments by investing in ETFs and exchange-traded notes, or ETNs, that focus on these types of investments. Investing in an ETF or ETN will give the fund exposure to the securities that the ETF or ETN holds in its portfolio. The fund may invest in “short” ETFs which carry additional risks because they may invest in a variety of derivatives and may engage in short sales. ETFs are bought and sold based on market values, which rarely equal the actual net asset value of their portfolio holdings and, therefore, they could trade at either a premium or discount to net asset value. The fund will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by an ETF it invests in, including advisory fees, and will pay brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase and sale of shares of ETFs. ETFs that invest in commodities may be, or may become, subject to regulatory trading limits that could hurt the value of their securities. Additionally, ETNs and some ETFs are not structured as investment companies and thus are not regulated under the 1940 Act. An ETN’s value generally depends on the performance of the underlying index and the credit rating of the issuer. Subsidiary risk. By investing in a wholly-owned subsidiary, the fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the subsidiary’s investments. Changes in the laws of the Cayman Islands, under which the subsidiary is organized, or changes in the laws of the United States, could prevent the subsidiary from operating as described in this Prospectus and could negatively affect the fund and its shareholders. There may also be federal income tax risks associated with the fund’s investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary. Cash management and defensive investing risk. The value of the investments held by the fund for cash management or defensive investing purposes can fluctuate in value. Like other fixed income securities, they are subject to risk, including market, interest rate, and credit risk. If the fund holds cash uninvested it will be subject to the credit risk of the depository institution holding the cash. In that case the fund would not earn income on the cash and the fund’s yield would go down. If a significant amount of the fund’s assets are used for cash management or defensive investing purposes, it will not be pursuing its principal investment strategies and may not achieve its investment objective. Valuation risk. The sales price the fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different valuation methodology. Risk of increase in expenses. Your actual costs of investing in the fund may be higher than the expenses shown in “Annual fund operating expenses” for a variety of reasons. For example, expense ratios may be higher than those shown if a fee limitation is changed or terminated or if average net assets decrease. Net assets are more likely to decrease and fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile. Funds of funds investments risk. The fund may be an investment option for other Legg Mason-advised mutual funds that are managed as “funds of funds.” As a result, from time to time, the fund may experience relatively large redemptions or investments and could be required to sell securities or to invest cash at a time when it is not advantageous to do so. <center>* * * </center> These risks are discussed in more detail later in this Prospectus or in the SAI. 0 0 0001474103 2012-10-29 0.0123 0.0143 0.0208 0.0137 0.015 0.02 0.0094 0.008 <a name="tx396781_1"></a>Investment objective <a name="tx396781_2"></a>Fees and expenses of the fund You may lose part or all of your investment in the fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. 0.01 Non-diversification risk. The fund is classified as “non-diversified,” which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a small number of issuers than a diversified fund. To the extent the fund invests its assets in fewer issuers, the fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers than a diversified fund. 0.01 0 0 0 0 0 0 -0.0003 -0.0007 -0.0005 The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of large capitalization companies. Large capitalization companies are those companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell 1000® Index (the Index). The size of the companies in the Index changes with market conditions and the composition of the Index. As of December 31, 2011, the median market capitalization of a company in the Index was approximately $5.094 billion and the dollar-weighted average market capitalization of the companies in the Index was approximately $396.254 billion. The fund invests primarily in equity securities that, in the investment advisers opinion, are undervalued or out of favor. The investment adviser invests in securities that meet its value criteria, based on both quantitative and fundamental analysis. The fund expects to hold approximately 150-250 stocks under normal market conditions. The fund may invest in foreign equity securities, either directly or through depositary receipts. The fund may take temporary defensive and cash management positions; in such a case, the fund will not be pursuing its principal investment strategies and may not achieve its investment objective.

The fund normally intends to hold a portfolio that is generally comparable to, but not the same as, the Russell 2000 Index in terms of economic sector weightings and market capitalization but may depart from this if the fund's portfolio manager believes it to be in the best interests of the fund. The fund may also invest in securities of foreign companies in the form of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). The fund may take temporary defensive and cash management positions; in such a case, the fund will not be pursuing its principal investment strategies and may not achieve its investment objective. Principal investment strategies Risk is inherent in all investing. There is no assurance that the fund will meet its investment objective. The value of your investment in the fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly. You may lose part or all of your investment in the fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. The following is a summary description of certain risks of investing in the fund. Stock market and equity securities risk. The securities markets are volatile and the market prices of the fund’s securities may decline generally. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities owned by the fund fall, the value of your investment in the fund will decline. The financial crisis that began in 2008 has caused a significant decline in the value and liquidity of many securities of issuers worldwide. In response to the crisis, the U.S. and other governments and the Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks have taken steps to support financial markets. The withdrawal of this support, failure of efforts to respond to the crisis, or investor perception that such efforts are not succeeding could also negatively affect financial markets generally as well as the value and liquidity of certain securities. In addition, policy and legislative changes in the United States and in other countries are changing many aspects of financial regulation. The impact of these changes on the markets, and the practical implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time. Issuer risk. The value of a security can go up or down more than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole, often due to disappointing earnings reports by the issuer, unsuccessful products or services, loss of major customers, major litigation against the issuer or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or the competitive environment. The fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on an individual security. Historically, the prices of securities of small and medium capitalization companies have generally gone up or down more than those of large capitalization companies, although even large capitalization companies may fall out of favor with investors. Portfolio selection risk. The value of your investment may decrease if the portfolio manager's judgment about the attractiveness or value of or market trends affecting a particular security, industry, sector, or region, or about market movements is incorrect. Model risk. The adviser’s investment models may not adequately take into account certain factors and may result in the fund having a lower return than if the fund were managed using another model or investment strategy. Market sector risk. The fund may be significantly overweight or underweight certain companies, industries or market sectors, which may cause the fund’s performance to be more sensitive to developments affecting those companies, industries or sectors. Small capitalization company risk. The fund will invest in small-sized companies. Such companies may be more at risk than larger companies because, among other things, they may fall out of favor with investors, they may have limited product lines, operating history, market or financial resources, or because they may depend on limited management groups. Securities of smaller companies may be more volatile, especially in the short term, may have limited liquidity and may be difficult to value. Smaller companies are often involved in actual or anticipated reorganizations or restructurings and it may be difficult to obtain information as to the financial conditions of smaller companies. Liquidity risk. Some securities held by the fund may be difficult to sell, or illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may also be difficult to value. If the fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the fund may be forced to sell at a loss. Derivatives risk. Using derivatives, especially for non-hedging purposes, can increase fund losses and can reduce opportunities for gains when market prices, interest rates, currency rates or the derivative instruments themselves behave in a way not anticipated by the fund. Using derivatives also can have a leveraging effect and increase fund volatility, potentially resulting in the loss of all assets. Derivatives may be difficult to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty may default on its obligations to the fund. Using derivatives may also have adverse tax consequences for the fund’s shareholders. Recent legislation calls for new regulation of the derivatives markets. The extent and impact of the regulations are not yet fully known and may not be known for some time. New regulation of derivatives may make them more costly, may limit their availability, or may otherwise adversely affect their value or performance. Risks associated with the use of derivatives are magnified to the extent that a large portion of the fund’s assets are committed to derivatives in general or are invested in just one or a few types of derivatives. Convertible securities risk. Convertible securities are subject to market and interest rate risk and credit risk. When the market price of the equity security underlying a convertible security decreases, the convertible security tends to trade on the basis of its yield and other fixed income characteristics, making the convertible security more susceptible to credit and interest rate risks. When the market price of such equity security rises, the convertible security tends to trade on the basis of its equity conversion features and be more exposed to market risk. Convertible securities are typically issued by smaller capitalized companies whose stock prices may be volatile. Cash management and defensive investing risk. The value of the investments held by the fund for cash management or defensive investing purposes can fluctuate in value. Like other fixed income securities, they are subject to risk, including market, interest rate, and credit risk. If the fund holds cash uninvested it will be subject to the credit risk of the depository institution holding the cash. In that case the fund would not earn income on the cash and the fund’s yield would go down. If a significant amount of the fund’s assets are used for cash management or defensive investing purposes, it will not be pursuing its principal investment strategies and may not achieve its investment objective. Valuation risk. The sales price the fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different valuation methodology. Recent market events risk. The equity and debt capital markets in the United States and internationally have experienced unprecedented volatility. The financial crisis that began in 2008 has caused a significant decline in the value and liquidity of many securities; in particular, the values of some sovereign debt and of securities of issuers that invest in sovereign debt and related investments have fallen, credit has become more scarce worldwide and there has been significant uncertainty in the markets. This environment could make identifying investment risks and opportunities especially difficult for the adviser. These market conditions may continue or get worse. In response to the crisis, the U.S. and other governments and the Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks have taken steps to support financial markets. The withdrawal of this support, failure of efforts to respond to the crisis, or investor perception that such efforts are not succeeding could also negatively affect financial markets generally as well as the value and liquidity of certain securities. In addition, policy and legislative changes in the United States and in other countries are changing many aspects of financial regulation. The impact of these changes on the markets, and the practical implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time. Risk of increase in expenses. Your actual costs of investing in the fund may be higher than the expenses shown in “Annual fund operating expenses” for a variety of reasons. For example, expense ratios may be higher than those shown if a fee limitation is changed or terminated or if average net assets decrease. Net assets are more likely to decrease and fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile. <center>* * *</center> These risks are discussed in more detail later in this Prospectus or in the SAI. The fund will normally invest its assets primarily in debt and fixed income securities of domestic and foreign issuers located in developed countries. The fund will invest in both investment grade and below investment grade securities (commonly known as junk bonds), and intends to invest less than 35% of its total assets in below investment grade securities. Investment grade securities are securities rated at the time of purchase by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization (NRSRO) within one of the top four categories, or, if unrated, judged by the adviser to be of comparable credit quality. Fixed income securities in which the fund may invest include debt securities issued or guaranteed by national governments, their agencies or instrumentalities and political sub-divisions (including inflation index linked securities); debt securities of supra-national organizations such as bonds and debentures and freely transferable promissory notes; corporate debt securities, including, debentures, bonds (including zero coupon bonds), convertible and non-convertible notes, commercial paper, certificates of deposits, freely transferable promissory notes and bankers acceptances issued by industrial, utility, finance, commercial banking or bank holding company organizations; mortgage-backed securities (including collateralized debt obligations), asset-backed securities; emerging markets debt; and high yield debt (often called junk bonds). The fund will normally invest a minimum of 80% of its total assets in debt securities of issuers located in developed market countries. In addition, under normal circumstances, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in debt securities. The fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in convertible debt securities. The fund invests in currency forwards in order to hedge its currency exposure in bond positions or to gain currency exposure. These investments may be significant at times. Although the portfolio managers have the flexibility to make use of currency forwards they may choose not to for a variety of reasons, even under very volatile market conditions. The fund will normally hold a portfolio of debt securities of issuers located in a minimum of six countries. The portfolio managers intend to maintain an average weighted portfolio quality of A- or better, whether composed of rated securities or unrated securities deemed by the portfolio managers to be of comparable quality. The weighted average effective duration of the funds portfolio is expected to range from 1 to 10 years but for individual markets may be greater or lesser depending on the portfolio managers view of the prospects for lower interest rates and the potential for capital gains. The fund may take temporary defensive and cash management positions; in such a case, the fund will not be pursuing its principal investment strategies and may not achieve its investment objective. 1213 1254 942 706 781 474 444 -0.1274 -0.3749 -0.0211 975 1034 655 467 544 696 337 275 705 724 213 137 163 112 102 Risk is inherent in all investing. There is no assurance that the fund will meet its investment objective. The value of your investment in the fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly. You may lose part or all of your investment in the fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. The following is a summary description of certain risks of investing in the fund. Stock market and equity securities risk. The securities markets are volatile and the market prices of the fund’s securities may decline generally. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions.

The fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on an individual security. Portfolio selection risk. The value of your investment may decrease if the portfolio managers' judgment about the attractiveness or value of or market trends affecting a particular security, industry sector or region or about market movements is incorrect. Model risk. The adviser’s investment models may not adequately take into account certain factors and may result in the fund having a lower return than if the fund were managed using another model or investment strategy. Value investing risk. The value approach to investing involves the risk that stocks may remain undervalued or decline in price. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market concentrates on growth stocks. Although the fund will not concentrate its investments in any one industry or industry group, it may, like many value funds, weight its investments toward certain industries, thus increasing its exposure to factors adversely affecting issuers within those industries. Market sector risk. The fund may be significantly overweight or underweight certain companies, industries or market sectors, which may cause the funds performance to be more sensitive to developments affecting those companies, industries or sectors. Large capitalization company risk. Large capitalization companies may fall out of favor with investors. Foreign investments risk. The funds investments in securities of foreign issuers involve greater risk than investments in securities of U.S. issuers. Foreign countries in which the fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets, may suffer from political or economic instability and may experience negative government actions, such as currency controls or seizures of private businesses or property. In some foreign countries, less information is available about issuers and markets because of less rigorous accounting and regulatory standards than in the United States. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could erase investment gains or add to investment losses. Special risks of companies undergoing reorganization or restructuring. Investing in companies undergoing reorganization or restructuring involves special risks including that the transaction may not be completed on the terms or time frame contemplated, it may be difficult to obtain information on the financial condition of such companies, the issuers management may be addressing a type of situation with which it has little experience, and the fact that the market prices of such securities are subject to above-average price volatility. Cash management and defensive investing risk. The value of the investments held by the fund for cash management or defensive investing purposes can fluctuate in value. Like other fixed income securities, they are subject to risk, including market, interest rate, and credit risk. If the fund holds cash uninvested it will be subject to the credit risk of the depository institution holding the cash. In that case the fund would not earn income on the cash and the funds yield would go down. If a significant amount of the funds assets are used for cash management or defensive investing purposes, it will not be pursuing its principal investment strategies and may not achieve its investment objective. Valuation risk. The sales price the fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the funds valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different valuation methodology. Risk of increase in expenses. Your actual costs of investing in the fund may be higher than the expenses shown in Annual fund operating expenses for a variety of reasons. For example, expense ratios may be higher than those shown if a fee limitation is changed or terminated or if average net assets decrease. Net assets are more likely to decrease and fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile. Funds of funds investments risk. The fund may be an investment option for other Legg Mason-advised mutual funds that are managed as funds of funds. As a result, from time to time, the fund may experience relatively large redemptions or investments and could be required to sell securities or to invest cash at a time when it is not advantageous to do so. Recent market events risk. The equity and debt capital markets in the United States and internationally have experienced unprecedented volatility. The financial crisis that began in 2008 has caused a significant decline in the value and liquidity of many securities; in particular, the values of some sovereign debt and of securities of issuers that invest in sovereign debt and related investments have fallen, credit has become more scarce worldwide and there has been significant uncertainty in the markets.

December 31, 2013 Risk is inherent in all investing. There is no assurance that the fund will meet its investment objective. The value of your investment in the fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly. You may lose part or all of your investment in the fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. The following is a summary description of certain risks of investing in the fund. Market and interest rate risk. The market prices of the funds securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. When market prices fall, the value of your investment will go down. The value of your investment may also go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. The financial crisis that began in 2008 has caused a significant decline in the value and liquidity of many securities of issuers worldwide. Some governmental and non-governmental issuers (notably in Europe) have defaulted on, or been forced to restructure, their debts, and many other issuers have faced difficulties obtaining credit. These market conditions may continue, worsen or spread, including in the United States, Europe and beyond. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and others of their debt could have additional adverse effects on economies, financial markets and asset valuations around the world. In response to the crisis, the U.S. and other governments and the Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks have taken steps to support financial markets. The withdrawal of this support, failure of efforts in response to the crisis, or investor perception that these efforts are not succeeding could negatively affect financial markets generally as well as the value and liquidity of certain securities. Whether or not the fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the funds investments may be negatively affected by the conditions in the countries experiencing the difficulties. In addition, policy and legislative changes in the United States and in other countries are changing many aspects of financial regulation. The impact of these changes on the markets, and the practical implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time. Issuer risk. The value of a security can go up or down more than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole, often due to disappointing earnings reports by the issuer, unsuccessful products or services, loss of major customers, major litigation against the issuer or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or the competitive environment. The fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on an individual security. Non-diversification risk. The fund is classified as non-diversified, which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a small number of issuers than a diversified fund. To the extent the fund invests its assets in fewer issuers, the fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers than a diversified fund. Portfolio selection risk. The value of your investment may decrease if the portfolio managers' judgment about the quality, relative yield, value or market trends affecting a particular security, industry, sector, or region, or about interest rates is incorrect. Although the portfolio managers may attempt to hedge or protect against fund losses, there is no assurance that their judgment about whether and when to do so will be correct, or that hedges will succeed. Hedging strategies may not always work as intended, and in specific cases the fund may be worse off than if it had not used such strategies. Model risk. The advisers investment models may not adequately take into account certain factors and may result in the fund having a lower return than if the fund were managed using another model or investment strategy. Liquidity risk. Some securities held by the fund may be difficult to sell, or illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may also be difficult to value. If the fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the fund may be forced to sell at a loss. Credit risk. If an issuer or guarantor of a security held by the fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the fund defaults or is downgraded, or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or if the value of the assets underlying a security declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. Junk bonds have a higher risk of default and are considered speculative. High yield or junk bond risk. Debt securities that are below investment grade, often called junk bonds, are speculative, have a higher risk of default or may be in default, tend to be less liquid and are more difficult to value than higher grade securities. Junk bonds tend to be volatile and more susceptible to the effects of adverse events and negative sentiments. Prepayment or call risk. Many issuers have a right to prepay their securities. If interest rates fall, an issuer may exercise this right. If this happens, the fund will be forced to reinvest prepayment proceeds at a time when yields on securities available in the market are lower than the yield on the prepaid security. The fund may also lose any premium it paid on the security. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be affected by changes in credit quality or value of the mortgage loans or other assets that support the securities. The rate of mortgage prepayments may lengthen the effective maturity of these securities at a time when their value has declined or shorten the effective maturity of these securities at a time their value has increased. In addition, for mortgage-backed securities, when market conditions result in an increase in the default rates on the underlying mortgages and the foreclosure values of the underlying real estate are below the outstanding amount of the underlying mortgages, collection of the full amount of accrued interest and principal on these investments may be doubtful. Extension risk. When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed income securities, particularly asset- and mortgage-backed securities, may occur more slowly than anticipated, extending the effective duration of these fixed income securities at below market interest rates and causing their market prices to decline. This may cause the funds share price to be more volatile. Foreign investments risk. The funds investments in securities of foreign issuers involve greater risk than investments in securities of U.S. issuers. Foreign countries in which the fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets, may suffer from political or economic instability and may experience negative government actions, such as currency controls or seizures of private businesses or property. In some foreign countries, less information is available about issuers and markets because of less rigorous accounting and regulatory standards than in the United States. Sovereign government and supranational debt involve many of the risks of foreign and emerging markets investments as well as the risk of debt moratorium, repudiation or renegotiation and the fund may be unable to enforce its rights against the issuers. Some securities issued by foreign governments or their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the foreign government and some foreign governments have defaulted on principal and interest payments. Emerging markets risk. The risks are greater for investments in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have economic, political systems, and legal systems that are less fully developed and are less stable than those of more advanced countries. Lower trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and increased price volatility. An investment in any fund that invests in emerging market securities should be considered speculative. Currency risk. The value of investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. Currency exchange rates can be volatile, and are affected by factors such as general economic conditions, the actions of the U.S. and foreign governments or central banks, the imposition of currency controls and speculation. The fund will also incur currency conversion costs. Derivatives risk. Using derivatives, especially for non-hedging purposes, can increase fund losses and can reduce opportunities for gains when market prices, interest rates, currency rates or the derivative instruments themselves behave in a way not anticipated by the fund. Using derivatives also can have a leveraging effect and increase fund volatility, potentially resulting in the loss of all assets. Derivatives may be difficult to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty may default on its obligations to the fund. Using derivatives may also have adverse tax consequences for the funds shareholders. Recent legislation calls for new regulation of the derivatives markets. The extent and impact of the regulations are not yet fully known and may not be known for some time. New regulation of derivatives may make them more costly, may limit their availability, or may otherwise adversely affect their value or performance. Swap agreements, a type of derivative instrument, will tend to shift the funds investment exposure from one type of investment to another. Currency derivatives risk. Currency futures, forwards or options may not always work as intended, and in specific cases the fund may be worse off than if it had not used such instrument(s). There may not always be suitable hedging instruments available. Even where suitable hedging instruments are available, the portfolio managers may determine not to hedge its currency risks. Hedging risk. There can be no assurance that the fund will engage in hedging transactions at any given time, even under volatile market conditions, or that any hedging transactions the fund engages in will be successful. Hedging transactions involve costs and may reduce gains or result in losses. Cash management and defensive investing risk. The value of the investments held by the fund for cash management or defensive investing purposes can fluctuate in value. Like other fixed income securities, they are subject to risk, including market, interest rate, and credit risk. If the fund holds cash uninvested it will be subject to the credit risk of the depository institution holding the cash. In that case the fund would not earn income on the cash and the funds yield would go down. If a significant amount of the funds assets are used for cash management or defensive investing purposes, it will not be pursuing its principal investment strategies and may not achieve its investment objective. Valuation risk. The sales price the fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the funds valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different valuation methodology. Risk of increase in expenses. Your actual costs of investing in the fund may be higher than the expenses shown in Annual fund operating expenses for a variety of reasons. For example, expense ratios may be higher than those shown if a fee limitation is changed or terminated or if average net assets decrease. Net assets are more likely to decrease and fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile. <center>* * * </center> These risks are discussed in more detail later in this Prospectus or in the SAI.

N/A For the period February 5, 2009 (commencement of operations of Class A) to December 31, 2011, the period February 5, 2009 (commencement of operations of Class C) to December 31, 2011 and the period January 9, 2003 (commencement of operations of Class FI) to December 31, 2011, the average annual total return of the Russell 2000 Index was 19.94%, 19.94% and 8.62%, respectively. The Composite Index reflects the blended rate of return of the following underlying indices: 40% Barclays Capital U.S. TIPS Index, 20% MSCI All Country World Index, 20% S&P GSCI®, 10% FTSE NAREIT All REITs Index and 10% Citigroup 1-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index. Effective November 30, 2011, this Composite Index is hedged to 40% exposure to the U.S. dollar, as defined by the USDX. The Composite Index's unhedged currency exposure is predominantly U.S. dollar-based. The Fund's target hedged currency exposure is 40% U.S. dollar, 60% non-U.S. dollar. The Fund may deviate, either up or down, from its target currency allocation due to market conditions. To better align the components of the Composite Index with the Fund's target currency exposure, a 40% U.S. dollar hedge is applied to the Composite Index by subtracting the returns of the USDX from 40% of the blended rate of return of the Composite Index. Prior to November 30, 2011, the Composite Index was hedged to 50% exposure to the USDX.
