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, excluding ETFs, 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 values, 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 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 discount estimated future cash flows to present value.

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

(b) Repurchase Agreements. The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that their investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Funds acquire a debt security subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and of the Funds to resell, the security at an agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining the yield during the Funds’ holding period. When entering into repurchase agreements, it is the Funds’ policy that their custodian or a third party custodian, acting on the Funds’ behalf, take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the market value of which, at all times, at least equals the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase transaction maturity exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market and measured against the value of the agreement in an effort to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If the counterparty defaults, the Funds generally have the right to use the collateral to satisfy the terms of the repurchase transaction. However, if the market value of the collateral declines during the period in which the Funds seek to assert their rights or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited.

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