C000161757 Investment Objective and Strategy
Martin Currie International Sustainable Equity Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Legg Mason Global Asset Management Trust.
Investment objective
Long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal market conditions, the fund pursues its objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any, in equity and equity related securities of foreign companies and other investments with similar economic characteristics. (The fund does not currently intend to borrow for investment purposes.) The fund is generally unconstrained by any particular sector, geography or market capitalization. The subadviser focuses on companies that it believes have a strong history of offering high and sustainable returns on invested capital over time and seeks to acquire securities of companies with reasonable valuations based on the subadvisers assessment of the companys long-term potential. When the subadviser identifies an opportunity it finds attractive, it aims to make a long-term capital commitment.
The equity securities in which the fund will invest may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stock, depositary receipts, exchange traded funds (ETFs) and synthetic foreign equity securities, including international warrants and other instruments with similar economic characteristics. A synthetic foreign equity security is a type of derivative, typically issued by a bank or other financial institution, designed to replicate the economic exposure of buying an equity security directly in a particular foreign market. The fund may use synthetic foreign equity securities to obtain market exposure where direct access is not otherwise available. The fund may also enter into derivatives as a substitute for buying or selling securities; to obtain market exposure; and to manage cash.
The fund may seek investment opportunities in any foreign country and under normal market conditions will invest in or have exposure to securities of companies located in at least three foreign countries. The fund may invest without limit in securities of companies located in any foreign country, including countries with developed or emerging markets. The fund may invest in companies of any size and market capitalization, but will typically invest in those companies with market capitalizations in excess of $5 billion. The funds portfolio is expected to be highly concentrated, with approximately 25-40 holdings. While the fund is generally unconstrained within its equity universe, the subadviser seeks to be risk aware and to control company risk through due diligence. Instances when the subadviser may sell a portfolio holding include the following: Structural change in the business that the subadviser believes will have a negative impact on its long-term potential, in particular its return on investment capital; Breach of what the subadviser considers to be good corporate governance; Where valuation of the business is meaningfully above the subadvisers assessment of fair valuation; and Where the subadviser believes that other investments offer superior long-term potential.
