1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Legg Mason Target Retirement 2015 (“Retirement 2015”), Legg Mason Target Retirement 2020 (“Retirement 2020”), Legg Mason Target Retirement 2025 (“Retirement 2025”), Legg Mason Target Retirement 2030 (“Retirement 2030”), Legg Mason Target Retirement 2035 (“Retirement 2035”), Legg Mason Target Retirement 2040 (“Retirement 2040”), Legg Mason Target Retirement 2045 (“Retirement 2045”), Legg Mason Target Retirement 2050 (“Retirement 2050”) and Legg Mason Target Retirement Fund (“Retirement Fund”) (collectively, the “Funds”) are separate diversified investment series of Legg Mason Partners Equity Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust, a Maryland statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Funds invest in other funds (“Underlying Funds”) which are mutual funds affiliated with Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”) or exchange-traded funds that are based on an index and managed by unaffiliated investment advisers.

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

(a) Investment Valuation. Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each Underlying Fund on the day of 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 Funds calculate their net asset value, the Funds value these securities at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

The Funds have adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification Topic 820 (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 establishes a single definition of fair value, creates a three-tier hierarchy as a framework for measuring fair value based on inputs used to value the Funds’ investments, and requires additional disclosure about fair value. The hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

   

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

   

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Funds use valuation techniques to measure fair value that are consistent with the market approach and/or income approach, depending on the type of the security and the particular circumstance. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts of cash flow to a single present amount.

The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing each Fund’s assets carried at fair value:
