Legg Mason Partners 130/30 U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is a separate diversified investment series of Legg Mason Partners Equity Trust (the “Trust”). The Turst, a Maryland business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

(a) Investment Valuation. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities are valued at the mean between the last quoted bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service that are based on transactions in debt obligations, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various other relationships between securities. When prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Fund calculates its net asset value, the Fund may value these securities at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

(b) Short Sales of Securities. A short sale is a transaction in which the Fund sells a security it does not own (but has borrowed) in anticipation of a decline in the market price of that security. To complete a short sale, the Fund may arrange through a broker to borrow the security to be delivered to the buyer. The proceeds received by the Fund for the short sale may be retained by the broker until the Fund replaces the borrowed security. However, the Fund is expected to use the cash proceeds of short sales to purchase additional securities or for any other Fund purpose. When the Fund does this, it is required to pledge replacement securities as collateral for the broker. The Fund may use securities it owns to meet any such collateral obligations. In borrowing the security to be delivered to the buyer, the Fund becomes obligated to replace the security borrowed at the market price at the time of replacement, whatever that price may be. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale.

Dividends declared on short positions existing on the record date are recorded on the ex-dividend date as an expense.

(c) Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
