Investment commentary

Economic review

The U.S. economy continued to grow over the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, but it did so at an uneven pace. U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”)ⁱ growth, as reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce, was 2.0% in the first quarter of 2012. The economy then slowed in the second quarter, as GDP growth was a tepid 1.3%. Economic growth accelerated to 3.1% in the third quarter, partially due to increased private inventory investment, higher federal government spending and moderating imports. However, this was a temporary uptick, as the Commerce Department’s initial estimate showed that fourth quarter GDP contracted 0.1%. This was the first negative reading since the second quarter of 2009, and was driven by a reversal of the above factors, as private inventory investment and federal government spending weakened.

While there was some improvement in the U.S. job market, unemployment remained elevated throughout the reporting period. When the period began, unemployment, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, was 8.3%. Unemployment then generally declined and was 7.8% in September 2012, the lowest rate since January 2009, but still high by historical standards. The unemployment rate then rose to 7.9% in October, before falling to 7.8% in November, where it remained in December. The number of longer-term unemployed continued to be a headwind for the economy, as roughly 39% of the 12.2 million people without a job have been out of work for more than six months.

Meanwhile, the housing market brightened, as sales generally improved and home prices continued to rebound. According to the National Association of Realtors (“NAR”), while existing-home sales dipped 1.0% on a seasonally adjusted basis in December 2012 versus the previous month, they were still 12.8% higher

than in December 2011. In addition, the NAR reported that the median existing-home price for all housing types was $180,800 in December 2012, up 11.5% from December 2011. This marked the tenth consecutive month that home prices rose compared to the same period a year earlier. Furthermore, the inventory of homes available for sale fell 8.5% in December, which represents a 4.4 month supply at the current sales pace. This represents the lowest inventory since May 2005.

The manufacturing sector expanded during much of the reporting period, although it experienced several soft patches. Based on the Institute for Supply Management’s PMI (“PMI”)ⁱⁱ, after expanding 34 consecutive months, the PMI fell to 49.7 in June 2012, which represented the first contraction in the manufacturing sector since July 2009 (a reading below 50 indicates a contraction, whereas a reading above 50 indicates an expansion). Manufacturing continued to contract in July and August before ticking up to 51.5 in September and 51.7 in October. The PMI fell back to contraction territory with a reading of 49.5 in November, its lowest level since July 2009. However, manufacturing again expanded in December, with the PMI increasing to 50.7.

Growth generally moderated overseas and, in some cases, fell back into a recession. But in its January 2013 World Economic Outlook Update, after the reporting period ended, the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) stated that “Global growth is projected to increase during 2013, as the factors underlying soft global activity are expected to subside. However, this upturn is projected to be more gradual than in the October 2012 World Economic Outlook projections.” The IMF projects that global growth will increase from 3.2% in 2012 to 3.5% in 2013. From a regional perspective, the IMF anticipates 2013 growth will be -0.2% in the Eurozone. Growth in emerging market countries is expected to remain

higher than in their developed country counterparts, and the IMF projects that emerging market growth will increase from 5.1% in 2012 to 5.5% in 2013. In particular, China’s economy is expected to grow 8.2% in 2013, versus 7.8% in 2012. Elsewhere, the IMF projects that growth in India will increase from 4.5% in 2012 to 5.9% in 2013.

The Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”)ⁱⁱⁱ took a number of actions as it sought to meet its dual mandate of fostering maximum employment and price stability. As has been the case since December 2008, the Fed kept the federal funds rate^iv at a historically low range between zero and 0.25%. In January 2012, the Fed extended the period it expects to keep rates on hold until at least through late 2014. At its June 2012 meeting, the Fed announced that it would continue its program of purchasing longer-term Treasury securities and selling an equal amount of shorter-term Treasury securities (often referred to as “Operation Twist”) until the end of 2012. In September, the Fed announced a third round of quantitative easing (“QE3”), which involves purchasing $40 billion each month of agency mortgage-backed securities on an open-end basis. In addition, the Fed further extended the duration that it expects to keep the federal funds rate on hold, until at least mid-2015. Finally, at its meeting in December, the Fed announced that it would continue purchasing $40 billion per month of agency mortgage-backed securities, as well as initially purchasing $45 billion a month of longer-term Treasuries. The Fed also said that it would keep the federal funds rate on hold “…as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6.5%, inflation between one and two years ahead is projected to be no more than a half percentage point above the Committee’s 2.0% longer-run goal, and longer-term inflation expectations continue to be well anchored.”

Given the economic challenges in the Eurozone, the European Central Bank (“ECB”)^v lowered interest rates from 1.50% to 1.25% in November 2011 and to 1.00% the following month. In July 2012, the ECB cut rates from 1.00% to 0.75%, a record low. In September the ECB introduced its Outright Monetary Transactions program (“OMT”). With the OMT, the ECB can purchase an unlimited amount of bonds that are issued by troubled Eurozone countries, provided the countries formally ask to participate in the program and agree to certain conditions. In other developed countries, the Bank of England kept rates on hold at 0.50% during the reporting period, as did Japan at a range of zero to 0.10%, its lowest level since 2006. In September, the Bank of Japan announced that it would increase its asset-purchase program and extend its duration by six months until the end of 2013. Elsewhere, with growth rates declining, both China and India lowered their cash reserve ratio for banks. China also cut its key interest rate in early June and again in July.

As always, thank you for your confidence in our stewardship of your assets.

Sincerely,

Legg Mason BW International Opportunities Bond Fund 2012 Annual Report			1

Fund overview

Q. What is the Fund’s investment strategy?

A. The Fund seeks to maximize total return consisting of income and capital appreciation. The Fund will normally invest its assets primarily in debt and fixed-income securities of foreign issuers located in developed countries. The Fund will invest in the sovereign debt and currencies of countries in the Citigroup World Government Bond Ex-U.S. Index (Unhedged)ⁱ (the “Index”). The Fund will invest in both investment grade and below investment grade securities, 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 with one of the top four categories, or, if unrated, securities that we judge to be of comparable credit quality. The Fund will also 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.

The Fund will normally hold a portfolio of debt securities of issuers located in a minimum of six countries. We intend to maintain an average weighted portfolio quality of A- or better, whether composed of rated securities or unrated securities deemed to be of comparable quality. The weighted average effective durationⁱⁱ of the Fund’s portfolio is expected to range from one to ten years, but for individual markets may be greater or lesser depending on our view of the prospects for lower interest rates and potential capital gains. The Fund may engage in a variety of transactions using derivatives such as futures, options, forward foreign currency transactions, swaps and cross hedges. The Fund may invest significantly in derivatives for both hedging and non-hedging purposes, including for purposes of enhancing returns.

We follow a value approach to investing and, therefore, seek to identify relative value in the international bond markets. We define as undervalued, those markets where we believe real interest rates are high and the currency is undervalued with the potential to appreciate. We will concentrate investments in those undervalued markets where we believe cyclical business conditions as well as secular economic and political trends provide the best opportunity for declining interest rates and a return to lower real rates over time. We believe that such economic conditions provide the best potential to achieve capital appreciation.

Q. What were the overall market conditions during the Fund’s reporting period?

A. Policy easing from the most systemically important central banks defined the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2012. The Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”)ⁱⁱⁱ initially announced and subsequently increased open-ended quantitative-easing operations. The European Central Bank (“ECB”)^iv massively expanded its balance sheet through Longer-Term Refinancing Operations (“LTRO”) program and then later in the period presented the sterilized Outright Monetary Transaction (“OMT”) program for backstopping the debt markets of troubled European Union sovereigns. In December, the Liberal Democratic Party in Japan won a sweeping victory in parliamentary elections by promising to reflate the economy through fiscal stimulus and by influencing monetary policy to the extent possible. The People’s Bank of China (“PBoC”) tweaked a large amount of policy easing levers to stabilize its economy.


2		Legg Mason BW International Opportunities Bond Fund 2012 Annual Report

Fund overview (cont’d)

Select emerging markets reacted to the competitive pressures triggered by these measures with their own actions. The massive amount of additional money supply in the financial system helped to suppress yields in safe-haven markets which would have otherwise risen to higher levels, but also ignited a global hunt for yield which pulled interest rates lower in almost all higher-yielding countries.

The actions from important central banks not only provided further monetary accommodation, but sent a clear signal to market participants that monetary authorities would steadfastly defend nominal growth and the health of banking systems. That message substantially reduced tail risk concerns and therefore the overly heavy impact of systemic risk on all risk asset pricing. Henceforth, with dissipating tail risks, we expect performance dispersion to continue increasing among risk assets. With systemic risk abating, investors have become more discriminating in assessing country- and security-specific risks. This environment caused investors to target higher-yielding sovereign markets where external/systemic factors had previously weighed on prices.

The perfect storm currently exists for encouraging investors to hunt for yield by taking increasingly more credit risk: active central banks are smothering sources of tail risk, reducing financial-market volatility, and promising to penalize investors who remain in perceived safer fixed income alternatives. Yet, a lack of investor confidence in global growth prospects is restraining the demand for owning equities.

Q. How did we respond to these changing market conditions?

A. Given the team’s outlook for gradually improving growth away from the Eurozone and stretched valuations in safe-haven bond markets, the team substantially reduced exposure to safe-haven (G-3^v/G-4^vi currencies) markets through the year, both through reducing currency positions and shorting duration associated with those markets. Though, as 2012 began, the team had already been reducing duration^vii contribution and currency exposure in the highest quality markets. With major central banks smothering sources of tail risk and developing-market banks easing policy rates, the team prepared the portfolio for an improvement to the growth outlook for 2013. On the back of actions from the ECB — most especially in relation to the OMT program which targets rates directly in troubled countries — the team began to increase exposure to troubled Eurozone countries in the third quarter of 2012 and trimmed the euro underweight as valuations reached attractive levels.

During the year, we especially targeted purchases where systemic risks had weighed on prices in 2010 and 2011. We believe the black-and-white, “risk-on, risk-off” era of investing, which has existed since 2008, is over. In this new environment, country- and security-specific fundamentals will matter more and therefore each bond market needs to be assessed on its own merit.

The Fund used currency forwards during the period. The net effect of unrealized and realized gains or losses through derivatives transactions during the period benefited performance. Euro short/hedge positions, especially those established late in 2011 and in mid-2012 at the height of the euro crisis, produced performance benefits for the Fund.

Principal value, investment returns and yields will fluctuate and investors’ shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit our website at www.leggmason.com/individualinvestors.

All share class returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value and the deduction of all Fund expenses. Returns have not been adjusted to include sales charges that may apply or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions. If sales charges were reflected, the performance quoted would be lower. Performance figures for periods shorter than one year represent cumulative figures and are not annualized.

Fund performance figures reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, without which the performance would have been lower.

Performance of Class C shares is not shown because this share class commenced operations on August 1, 2012.

The 30-Day SEC Yields for the period ended December 31, 2012 for Class A, Class C1¨, Class FI, Class R, Class I and Class IS shares were 3.04%, 2.72%, 3.17%, 2.94%, 3.42% and 3.52%, respectively. Absent fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the 30-Day SEC Yields for Class A, Class C1¨, Class FI, Class R, Class I and Class IS shares would have been 2.48%, 1.57%, -41.21%, 2.37%, 3.03% and 3.11%, respectively. The 30-Day SEC Yield is subject to change and is based on the yield to maturity of the Fund’s investments over a 30-day period and not on the dividends paid by the Fund, which may differ.

Total Annual Operating Expenses (unaudited)

As of the Fund’s current prospectus dated August 1, 2012, the gross total annual operating expense ratios for Class A, Class C1¨, Class FI, Class R, Class I and Class IS shares were 1.35%, 1.79%, 1.32%, 1.58%, 1.09% and 0.85%, respectively.

Actual expenses may be higher. For example, expenses may be higher than those shown 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.

As a result of expense limitation arrangements, the ratio of expenses, other than interest, brokerage, commissions, dividend expense on short sales, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, to average net assets is not expected to exceed 1.00% for Class A shares, 1.45% for Class C1¨ shares, 1.00% for Class FI shares,

1.25% for Class R shares, 0.75% for Class I shares and 0.65% for Class IS shares. In addition total annual operating expenses for Class IS shares will not exceed those for Class I shares. These expense limitation arrangements cannot be terminated prior to December 31, 2014 without the Board of Directors’ consent.

The manager is permitted to recapture amounts waived or reimbursed to a class within three years after the year in which the manager earned the fee or incurred the expense if the class’ total annual operating expenses have fallen to a level below the expense limitation (“expense cap”) in effect at the time the fees were earned or the expenses incurred. In no case will the manager recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the Fund, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding the expense cap or any other lower limit then in effect.

Q. What were the leading contributors to performance?

A. The Fund outperformed its benchmark on a gross- and net-of-fees basis during the twelve-month ended December 31, 2012. Broadly, the Fund’s relative performance benefited from each attribution category. In order of importance to relative performance, currency decisions, a higher yield profile, sector and quality decisions, and yield curve^viii effects all contributed.

A zero weight to the Japanese yen produced, by far, the strongest contribution to relative returns and drove currency effects broadly to produce the most significant contribution to relative performance. The yen sank against all major currencies during the period following a paradigm change in expectations related to the central bank’s definition of price stability. In mid-December 2012, the Liberal Democratic Party won a sweeping victory in parliamentary elections on a promise to reflate the economy by implementing easier fiscal policy and influencing easier monetary policy.

Allocations to investment-grade and high-yield corporate credit as well as non-agency mortgage-backed securities benefited performance. Spread tightened across all major credit sectors as tail risks receded and the global growth outlook improved modestly. The provision of additional monetary easing also helped tighten spreads.

Yield curve effects helped relative performance in the fourth quarter, but to a lesser extent than active currency positioning. The conditions encouraging investors to hunt for yield only strengthened during the period, boosting the value of debt from higher yielding countries like Poland, Hungary, South Africa, and South Korea. Each of these countries cut policy rates during the period as well, benefiting holders of fixed rate obligations. Weak external demand conditions, especially emanating from the economic malaise in Europe, and the provision of extraordinary amounts of liquidity from global centrals banks drove these interest rate cuts.

Q. What were the leading detractors from performance?

A. There were no meaningful detractors to the Fund’s relative performance during the reporting period.

Q. Were there any significant changes to the Fund during the reporting period?

A. Increasing the Fund’s allocation to higher-yielding markets included selling or reducing duration in U.K. Gilts primarily, but also included selling less substantial exposures in Norway. The proceeds of these sales funded positions in sovereigns with higher absolute and real yields, which tend to be more cyclical and outperform as systemic risk recedes. In particular, the team purchased a modest unhedged position in Portugese debt and added a substantial amount to our established Mexican debt position. The team reduced aggregate portfolio duration given our expectations for better global growth than market consensus in 2013.


Legg Mason BW International Opportunities Bond Fund 2012 Annual Report			5

From a currency perspective, sales of the British pound and Canadian dollar funded new positions in the Indian rupee and Russian ruble. Both positions are only currency positions and we do not hold bonds in those countries. We also used the proceeds of sales to lift our Brazilian real hedge. The currency exhibited attractive valuations at points in 2012 and we believe the intense monetary and fiscal stimulus will accelerate growth in 2013. Unhedged additions to Mexican bond positions also increased our exposure to the peso. Lastly, unhedged purchases of Eurozone debt trimmed our underweight to the euro as well. We believe our previous zero weight to the euro is no longer warranted given the improvement from the OMT and the central bank’s relative aversion to quantitative easing vis-à-vis other G3 central banks.

Fund expenses (unaudited)

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs including front-end and back-end sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; service and/or distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on July 1, 2012 and held for the six months ended December 31, 2012, unless otherwise noted.

Actual expenses

The table below titled “Based on Actual Total Return” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information provided in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account, divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 ending account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period”.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below titled “Based on Hypothetical Total Return” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use the information provided in this table to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5.00% hypothetical example relating to the Fund with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or back-end sales charges (loads). Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Legg Mason BW International Opportunities Bond Fund 2012 Annual Report			25

Notes to financial statements

1. Organization and significant accounting policies

Legg Mason BW International Opportunities Bond Fund (the “Fund”) is a separate non-diversified investment series of Legg Mason Global Asset Management Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust, a Massachusetts statutory 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”). Estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.

(a) Investment valuation. The valuations for fixed income securities (which may include, but are not limited to, corporate, government, municipal, mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities) and certain derivative instruments are typically the prices supplied by independent third party pricing services, which may use market prices or broker/dealer quotations or a variety of valuation techniques and methodologies. The independent third party pricing services use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar securities. Short-term fixed income securities that will mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, unless it is determined that using this method would not reflect an investment’s fair value. 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. When the Fund holds securities or other assets that are denominated in a foreign currency, the Fund will normally use the currency exchange rates as of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). If independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices for a portfolio investment, or if the prices supplied are deemed by the manager to be unreliable, the market price may be determined by the manager using quotations from one or more broker/dealers or at the transaction price if the security has recently been purchased and no value has yet been obtained from a pricing service or pricing broker. When reliable prices are not readily available, 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 values these securities as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the valuation process and has delegated the supervision of the daily valuation process to the Legg Mason North American Fund Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”). The Valuation Committee, pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the Fund’s pricing policies, and reporting to the Board of Trustees. When determining the reliability of third party


26		Legg Mason BW International Opportunities Bond Fund 2012 Annual Report

Notes to financial statements (cont’d)

pricing information for investments owned by the Fund, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of pricing vendors, monitors the daily change in prices and reviews transactions among market participants.

The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making fair value determinations. Examples of possible methodologies include, but are not limited to, multiple of earnings; discount from market of a similar freely traded security; discounted cash-flow analysis; book value or a multiple thereof; risk premium/yield analysis; yield to maturity; and/or fundamental investment analysis. The Valuation Committee will also consider factors it deems relevant and appropriate in light of the facts and circumstances. Examples of possible factors include, but are not limited to, the type of security; the issuer’s financial statements; the purchase price of the security; the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase; analysts’ research and observations from financial institutions; information regarding any transactions or offers with respect to the security; the existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting the security; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies; and the existence of a shelf registration for restricted securities.

For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such back testing monthly and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board of Trustees quarterly.

The Fund uses 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.

GAAP establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed 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 Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.


Legg Mason BW International Opportunities Bond Fund 2012 Annual Report			27

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

†	See Schedule of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

(b) Repurchase agreements. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that its investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Fund acquires a debt security subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and of the Fund to resell, the security at an agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining the yield during the Fund’s holding period. When entering into repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’s policy that its custodian or a third party custodian, acting on the Fund’s 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 Fund generally has 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 Fund seeks to assert its rights or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.

(c) Foreign currency translation. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based upon prevailing exchange rates on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of


28		Legg Mason BW International Opportunities Bond Fund 2012 Annual Report

Notes to financial statements (cont’d)

investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based upon prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, including gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, on the date of valuation, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of lower levels of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability.

(d) Forward foreign currency contracts. The Fund enters into a forward foreign currency contract to hedge exposure of bond positions or to gain currency exposure where the Fund did not hold that country’s bonds. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price with delivery and settlement at a future date. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is closed, through either delivery or offset by entering into another forward foreign currency contract, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it is closed.

Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency contract. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

(e) Credit and market risk. The Fund invests in high-yield and emerging market instruments that are subject to certain credit and market risks. The yields of high-yield and emerging market debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit and market risks. The Fund’s investments in securities rated below investment grade typically involve risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk related to timely and ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility and less liquid secondary market trading. The consequences of political, social, economic or diplomatic changes may have


Legg Mason BW International Opportunities Bond Fund 2012 Annual Report			29

disruptive effects on the market prices of investments held by the Fund. The Fund’s investments in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities may also result in foreign currency losses caused by devaluations and exchange rate fluctuations.

(f) Foreign investment risks. The Fund’s investments in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities may be denominated in foreign currencies, may require settlement in foreign currencies or pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Fund. Foreign investments may also subject the Fund to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments.

(g) Counterparty risk and credit-risk-related contingent features of derivative instruments. The Fund may invest in certain securities or engage in other transactions, where the Fund is exposed to counterparty credit risk in addition to broader market risks. The Fund may invest in securities of issuers, which may also be considered counterparties as trading partners in other transactions. This may increase the risk of loss in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty or if the counterparty otherwise fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Fund’s investment manager attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. Market events and changes in overall economic conditions may impact the assessment of such counterparty risk by the investment manager. In addition, declines in the values of underlying collateral received may expose the Fund to increased risk of loss.

The Fund has entered into master agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that provide for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, events of default or termination and credit related contingent features. The credit related contingent features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in the Fund’s net assets or NAV over a specified period of time. If these credit related contingent features were triggered, the derivatives counterparty could terminate the positions and demand payment or require additional collateral.

As of December 31, 2012, the Fund held forward foreign currency contracts with credit related contingent features which had a liability position of $401,762. If a contingent feature in the master agreements would have been triggered, the Fund would have been required to pay this amount to its derivatives counterparties.

(h) Security transactions and investment income. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practicable after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. The


30		Legg Mason BW International Opportunities Bond Fund 2012 Annual Report

Notes to financial statements (cont’d)

cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method. To the extent any issuer defaults or a credit event occurs that impacts the issuer, the Fund may halt any additional interest income accruals and consider the realizability of interest accrued up to the date of default or credit event.

(i) Distributions to shareholders. Distributions from net investment income of the Fund are declared each business day to shareholders of record, and are paid monthly. Distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared at least annually. Distributions to shareholders of the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

(j) Share class accounting. Investment income, common expenses and realized/unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated to the various classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that share class.

(k) Compensating balance arrangements. The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby a portion of the custodian’s fees is paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank.

(l) Federal and other taxes. It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Fund intends to distribute its taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders in accordance with timing requirements imposed by the Code. Therefore, no federal or state income tax provision is required in the Fund’s financial statements.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of December 31, 2012, no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.

(m) Reclassification. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. During the current year, the following reclassifications have been made:


	Overdistributed Net Investment Income		Accumulated Net Realized Gain
(a)	$	1,078,640	$	(1,078,640)

^(a)	Reclassifications are primarily due to foreign currency transactions treated as ordinary income for tax purposes, book/tax differences in the treatment of distributions and differences between book and tax amortization of premium on fixed income securities.

2. Investment management agreement and other transactions with affiliates

Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC (“LMPFA”) is the Fund’s investment manager and Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC (“Brandywine Global”) is the Fund’s subadviser. LMPFA and Brandywine are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”).

LMPFA provides administrative and certain oversight services to the Fund. The Fund pays LMPFA an investment management fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. LMPFA has delegated to Brandywine Global the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. For its services, LMPFA pays Brandywine Global 70% of the net management fee.

As a result of expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and LMPFA, the ratio of expenses other than interest, brokerage commissions, dividend expense on short sales, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, to average net assets of Class A, Class C, Class C1 (On August 1, 2012, Class C shares were reclassified as Class C1 shares), Class FI, Class R, Class I and Class IS shares did not exceed 1.00%, 1.75%, 1.45%, 1.00%, 1.25%, 0.75% and 0.65%, respectively. In addition, total annual fund operating expenses for Class IS shares will not exceed total annual fund operating expenses for Class I shares. These expense limitation arrangements cannot be terminated prior to December 31, 2014 without the Board of Directors’ consent.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed amounted to $208,792.

The investment manager is permitted to recapture amounts waived or reimbursed to a class within three years after the year in which the investment manager earned the fee or incurred the expense if the class’ total annual operating expenses have fallen to a level below the expense limitation (“expense cap”) in effect at the time the fees were earned or the expenses incurred. In no case will the investment manager recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the Fund, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding the expense cap or any other lower limit then in effect.

Pursuant to these arrangements, at December 31, 2012, the Fund had remaining fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements subject to recapture by LMPFA and respective dates of expiration as follows:

Legg Mason Investor Services, LLC (“LMIS”), a wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Legg Mason, serves as the Fund’s sole and exclusive distributor.

There is a maximum initial sales charge of 4.25% for Class A shares. There is a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% on Class C shares (new Class C shares are available for purchase effective August 1, 2012) and Class C1 shares (on August 1, 2012, Class C shares were reclassified as Class C1 shares), which applies if redemption occurs within 12 months from purchase payment. In certain cases, Class A shares have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within 18 months from purchase payment (or within 12 months for shares purchased prior to August 1, 2012).

Total taxable distributions	$	5,855,815	$	4,837,413

As of December 31, 2012, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

^(b)	The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the difference between book and tax amortization methods for premiums on fixed income securities.

9. Line of credit

The Fund, along with certain other Legg Mason Funds, participates in a $200 million line of credit (“Credit Agreement”) to be used for temporary or emergency purposes. This 364-day revolving Credit Agreement matures on February 28, 2013. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, each participating fund is liable only for principal and interest payments related to borrowings made by that fund. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the prevailing LIBOR rate plus the LIBOR rate margin. The Fund did not utilize the line of credit during the year ended December 31, 2012. The Fund does not intend to renew the Credit Agreement.

Board approval of management and subadvisory agreements (unaudited)

At its November 2012 meeting, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved the management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC (the “Manager”) and the subadvisory agreement (the “Subadvisory Agreement”) with Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC (the “Subadviser”). The trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) (the “Independent Trustees”), met on October 11, 2012, with the assistance of their independent legal counsel and their contract review consultant, to review and evaluate the materials provided by the Manager and the Subadviser to assist the Board, and in particular the Independent Trustees, in considering renewal of the Management and Subadvisory Agreements. At such October meeting the Independent Trustees received a presentation by senior Fund management and reviewed the materials provided, as well as a memorandum from their independent legal counsel and materials from the contract review consultant. The Independent Trustees further discussed renewal of the Agreements in an executive session held on November 15, 2012.

In voting to approve continuance of the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered whether continuance of the Agreements would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. No single factor or item of information reviewed by the Board was identified as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement. Based upon its evaluation of all material factors, including those described below, the Board concluded that the terms of each Agreement are reasonable and fair and that it was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the Agreements.

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Manager and the Subadviser under the Management Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements, respectively. The Board also considered the Manager’s supervisory activities over the Subadviser. In addition, the Board received and considered other information regarding the administrative and other services rendered to the Fund and its shareholders by the Manager. The Board noted information received at meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by the Manager in the management of the Fund’s affairs and the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Subadviser and the Fund’s other service providers. The Board’s evaluation of the services provided by the Manager and the Subadviser took into account the Board’s knowledge and familiarity gained as Board members of funds in the Legg Mason fund complex, including the scope and quality of the investment management and other capabilities of the Manager and the Subadviser and the quality of the Manager’s administrative and other services.

The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the senior personnel serving the Fund and the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. The Board also considered, based on its knowledge of the Manager and the Manager’s affiliates, the financial resources available through the Manager’s parent organization, Legg Mason, Inc.

Board approval of management and subadvisory agreements (unaudited) (cont’d)

The Board considered the division of responsibilities among the Manager and the Subadviser and the oversight provided by the Manager. The Board also considered the Subadviser’s brokerage policies and practices, including the standards applied in seeking best execution, policies and practices regarding soft dollars, and the existence of quality controls applicable to brokerage allocation procedures.

The Board received and reviewed performance information for the Fund and for a group of funds (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to determine the similarity of the Fund with the funds included in the Performance Universe. The Lipper data also included a comparison of the Fund’s performance to a benchmark index selected by Lipper. In addition, the Trustees noted that they also had received and discussed at periodic intervals information comparing the Fund’s performance to that of its benchmark index.

The Board noted the Fund’s favorable performance for Class IS Shares for the one-year period ended June 30, 2012, which placed it in the first quintile. The Board noted that its evaluation of the factors of the nature, extent and quality of services and investment performance led it to conclude that it was in the best interest of the Fund to approve renewal of the Agreement.

The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee (the “Contractual Management Fee”) payable by the Fund to the Manager in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management and subadvisory services provided by the Manager and the Subadviser, respectively. The Board noted that the Manager, and not the Fund, pays the subadvisory fees to the Subadviser. In addition, the Board reviewed and considered the actual management fee rate (after taking into account fees waived and expense reimbursements by the Manager which partially reduced the management fee paid to the Manager) (“Actual Management Fee”).

The Board also reviewed information regarding the fees the Manager and the Subadviser charged any of their U.S. clients investing primarily in an asset class similar to that of the Fund including, where applicable, separate accounts. The Manager reviewed with the Board the significant differences in the scope of services provided to the Fund and to such other clients, and that the Manager coordinates and oversees the provision of services to the Fund by other fund service providers, including the Adviser and the Subadviser. The Board considered the fee comparisons in light of the scope of services required to manage these different types of accounts.

The Board received an analysis of complex-wide management fees provided by the Manager, which, among other things, set out the range of fees based on asset classes. In addition, the Manager provided and discussed with the Board a comparison with the fees of other registered investment companies managed in the same investment style. Management also discussed with the Board the Fund’s distribution arrangements, including how amounts received by the Fund’s distributors are expended.


Legg Mason BW International Opportunities Bond Fund			41

Additionally, the Board received and considered information comparing the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee and the Fund’s overall expense ratio with those of a group of funds selected by Lipper as comparable to the Fund and a broader universe of funds also selected by Lipper. With respect to the Fund, the Board noted that Contractual and Actual Management Fees were lower than average (first quintile) and that actual expenses were lower than the Lipper expense group and expense universe averages.

The Board was provided an overview of the process followed in conducting the profitability study and received a report on the profitability of Legg Mason in providing services to the Fund, based on financial information and business data for the 12 months ended March 31, 2012, which corresponds to Legg Mason’s most recently completed fiscal year. The Board considered the profitability study along with the other materials previously provided to the Board and determined that the profitability was not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund.

The Board received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund as the Fund’s assets grow, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board noted that as a result of market conditions and net redemptions, the Fund complex had suffered a substantial decline in assets over its historic highs. Given the asset size of the Fund and the complex, the Board concluded that although there are currently no breakpoints, any economies of scale currently being realized were appropriately being reflected in the Management Fee paid by the Fund.

The Board considered other benefits received by the Manager and its affiliates, including the Subadviser, as a result of the Manager’s relationship with the Fund, including the opportunity to offer additional products and services to Fund shareholders. The Board also considered the information provided by the Manager regarding intermediary arrangements.

In light of the structure of the fees, the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Fund, the Manager’s ongoing commitment to the Fund and the ancillary benefits received, the Board concluded that the Management Fees were reasonable.

After evaluation of all material factors, the Board concluded that the continuation of each Agreement is in the best interest of the Fund.

In addition, there were no Audit-Related Fees billed in the Reporting Period for assurance and related services by the Auditor to the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Legg Mason Global Asset Management Trust (“service affiliates”), that were reasonably related to the performance of the annual audit of the service affiliates. Accordingly, there were no such fees that required pre-approval by the Audit Committee for the Reporting Periods.

All Other Fees. There were no other non-audit services rendered by the Auditor to Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisors, LLC (“LMPFA”), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with LMPFA that provided ongoing services to Legg Mason Global Asset Management Trust requiring pre-approval by the Audit Committee in the Reporting Period.

(e) Audit Committee’s pre–approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)

(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(1) The Charter for the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of each registered investment company (the “Fund”) advised by LMPFA or one of their affiliates (each, an “Adviser”) requires that the Committee shall approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditors to the Adviser and any Covered Service Providers if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. The Committee may implement policies and procedures by which such services are approved other than by the full Committee.

The Committee shall not approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may impair the independence of the auditors. As of the date of the approval of this Audit Committee Charter, permissible non-audit services include any professional services (including tax services), that are not prohibited services as described below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, other than those provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non-audit services may not include: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (ii) financial information systems design and implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other service the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.

Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and any service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Covered Service Providers”) constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided to (a) the Fund, (b) the Adviser and (c) any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be approved by the Committee; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to the completion of the audit.

(2) For the Legg Mason Global Asset Management Trust, the percentage of fees that were approved by the audit committee, with respect to: Audit-Related Fees were 100% and 100% for December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012; Tax Fees were 100% and 100% for December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012; and Other Fees were 100% and 100% for December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012.

(f) N/A

(g) Non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to Legg Mason Global Asset Management Trust, LMPFA and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with LMPFA that provides ongoing services to Legg Mason Global Asset Management Trust during the reporting period were $0 in 2012.

(h) Yes. Legg Mason Global Asset Management Trust’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates, which were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval), is compatible with maintaining the Accountant’s independence. All services provided by the Auditor to the Legg Mason Global Asset Management Trust or to Service Affiliates, which were required to be pre-approved, were pre-approved as required.
