Investment commentary
Economic review
The U.S. economy continued to grow over the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 (the “reporting period”). Looking back, U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”)i growth, as reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce, was 1.1% during the first quarter of 2013. The economic expansion then accelerated, as GDP growth was 2.5% during the second quarter. This was partially due to increases in exports and non-residential fixed investments, along with a smaller decline in federal government spending versus the previous quarter. The economy gained further momentum during the third quarter, with GDP growth of 4.1%, its best reading since the fourth quarter of 2011. Stronger growth was driven, in part, by an increase in private inventory investment, a deceleration in imports and accelerating state and local government spending. The U.S. Department of Commerce’s initial reading for fourth quarter 2013 GDP growth, released after the reporting period ended, was 3.2%. Slower growth was due to several factors, including a deceleration in private inventory investment, declining federal government spending and less residential fixed investments.
The U.S. job market improved during the reporting period, although unemployment remained elevated from a historical perspective. When the period began, unemployment, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, was 7.9%. Unemployment fell to 7.7% in February 2013 and generally edged lower over the remainder of the period, falling to 6.7% in December. This represented the lowest level since October 2008. However, falling unemployment during the period was partially due to a decline in the workforce participation rate, which was 62.8% in December, its lowest level since 1978. In addition, the number of longer-term unemployed continues to be high, as roughly 37.7% of the 10.4 million Americans looking for work in December 2013 had been out of work for more than six months.
While sales of existing-homes declined at times throughout the reporting period given rising mortgage rates, they moved higher at the end of the year. According to the National Association of Realtors (“NAR”), existing-home sales rose 1.0% on a seasonally adjusted basis in December 2013 versus the previous month, although they were 0.6% lower than in December 2012. However, existing homes sales in 2013 were 9.1% higher than the previous year and 2013’s sales were the strongest since 2006. In addition, the NAR reported that the median existing-home price for all housing types was $198,100 in December 2013, up 9.9% from December 2012. The inventory of homes available for sale in December 2013 was 11% lower than the previous month at a 4.6 month supply at the current sales pace but 1.6% higher than in December 2012.
The manufacturing sector expanded during the majority of the reporting period, although it experienced a temporary soft patch. Based on the Institute for Supply Management’s Purchasing Managers’ Index (“PMI”)ii, manufacturing expanded during the first four months of the reporting period. It then contracted in May 2013, with a PMI of 49.0 (a reading below 50 indicates a contraction, whereas a reading above 50 indicates an expansion). This represented the PMI’s lowest reading since June 2009. However, the contraction was a short-term setback, as the PMI rose over the next seven months and peaked at 57.3 in November,

Investment commentary (cont’d)
the best reading since April 2011. The PMI then moderated somewhat in December 2013, edging back to a still strong 57.0.
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 rateiv at a historically low range between zero and 0.25%. At its meeting in December 2012, the Fed announced that it would continue purchasing $40 billion per month of agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), as well as initially purchasing $45 billion per month of longer-term Treasuries. At its meeting that ended on June 19, 2013, the Fed did not make any material changes to its official policy statement. However, in a press conference following the meeting, Fed Chairman Bernanke said “…the Committee currently anticipates that it would be appropriate to moderate the monthly pace of purchases later this year.” In a surprise to many investors, at its meeting that ended on September 18, 2013, the Fed did not taper its asset purchase program and said that it “…decided to await more evidence that progress will be sustained before adjusting the pace of its purchases.” At its meeting that concluded on December 18, 2013, the Fed announced that it would begin reducing its monthly asset purchases, saying “Beginning in January 2014, the Committee will add to its holdings of agency mortgage-backed securities at a pace of $35 billion per month rather than $40 billion per month, and will add to its holdings of longer-term Treasury securities at a pace of $40 billion per month rather than $45 billion per month.” At the Fed’s meeting that concluded on January 29, 2014, after the reporting period ended, it announced that in February 2014 it would further taper its asset purchases, to a total of $65 billion a month ($30 billion per month of agency mortgage-backed securities and $35 billion per month of longer-term Treasury securities).
As always, thank you for your confidence in our stewardship of your assets.
Sincerely,

Kenneth D. Fuller
President and Chief Executive Officer

Fund overview
Q. What is the Fund’s investment strategy?
A. The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies with relatively small market capitalizations domiciled, or having their principal activities, in the U.S., at the time of investment or other investments with similar economic characteristics. The Fund normally intends to hold a portfolio that is generally comparable to, but not the same as, the Russell 2000 Indexi in terms of economic sector weightings and market capitalization but may depart from this if we believe it to be in the best interests of the Fund. The Fund may also invest in securities of foreign companies in the form of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”).
At Batterymarch Financial Management, Inc. (“Batterymarch”), the Fund’s adviser, all portfolios are managed on a collaborative basis using a systematic, rules-based approach. We use a bottom-up, quantitative stock selection process. The cornerstone of this process is a proprietary stock selection model that ranks the stocks in the Fund’s investable universe on a daily basis according to a variety of fundamental measures of relative attractiveness.
Q. What were the overall market conditions during the Fund’s reporting period?
A. 2013 started strong with most global markets posting substantial gains in January as investors focused on consistent, incremental economic improvements and looked past any global growth concerns. Worries about the U.S. fiscal cliff and the sequester passed quickly as the former was resolved to the market’s satisfaction and the latter had little immediate tangible impact. Positive economic news, including improvements in manufacturing and homebuilding, continued to support the slow growth environment. The first quarter ended on a strong note for U.S. markets as events in Cyprus cast renewed doubts about the health of the Eurozone, benefiting U.S. markets and putting them in the position of global safe haven.
U.S. markets continued to be strong during the second quarter of 2013, focused on the U.S. economy’s continued slow, steady growth supported by the low interest rate environment, rising home prices and slowly improving employment. Despite a pullback after the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”)ii hinted on June 18th that they would begin tapering their monetary stimulus program, the Russell 2000 Index ended the second quarter in positive territory.
In a reversal from the second quarter, the U.S. underperformed all other developed market regions in the third quarter over concerns that the Fed might taper its quantitative easing program and that the U.S. would invade Syria. In August, equities declined on macro concerns as Congress came to a budget impasse. Nevertheless, by September investors seemed to shrug off concerns about the U.S. government shutdown amid modestly positive news, with a number of U.S. companies posting above-estimated earnings and the market was strong through year end.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, small-cap U.S. stocks as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, returned 38.82%, outperforming large-cap U.S. stocks as measured by the Russell 1000 Indexiii, which
| | |
Legg Mason Batterymarch U.S. Small Capitalization Equity Portfolio 2013 Annual Report | | 1 |
Fund overview (cont’d)
returned 33.11%, led by Consumer Services, Health Care and Software & Services stocks.
Q. How did we respond to these changing market conditions?
A. We believe that fundamentals, the very basis of our investment process, will continue to be the primary driver of long-term returns. As a result, we continue to adhere to our investment philosophy while continuing to enhance our process to address sustainable market shifts. We also believe that integrated risk management is an important element of portfolio construction, and our investment process will continue to reflect these long-held views. We strongly believe, particularly during times of extreme market volatility, in the value of a broadly diversified, rules-based, risk-controlled process.
Much of our research over the past several years has been focused on developing tools to help us navigate extreme market environments. As a result of this research, we’ve made several enhancements to our process including the addition of monitoring tools to identify risk in our stock selection models, particularly with regard to factor selection, as well as macro-level tools to identify regimes that are more favorable/unfavorable for certain factor strategies. These tools allow us to follow our historical bottom-up stock ranking methodology, but also to identify extremes so we can step in to intervene if necessary.

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.

Total Annual Operating Expenses (unaudited) |
As of the Fund’s current prospectus dated May 1, 2013, the gross total annual operating expense ratios for Class A, Class A2, Class C, Class FI, Class I and Class IS shares were 1.24%, 1.20%, 2.06%, 1.53%, 0.89% and 0.79%, 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 1.30% for Class A shares, 1.50% for Class A2 shares, 2.05% for Class C shares, 1.30% for Class FI shares, 1.00% Class I shares and 0.75% for Class IS shares. 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, 2015 without the Board of Trustees’ consent. The manager currently intends to voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses, other than interest, brokerage commissions, dividend expense on short sales, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, so that annual operating expenses are not expected to exceed 1.20% for Class A shares, 1.40% for Class A2 shares, 1.95% for Class C shares, 1.20% for Class FI shares and 0.90% for Class I shares. These arrangements are expected to continue until December 31, 2015 but may be terminated at any time by the manager.
The manager is permitted to recapture amounts waived or reimbursed to a class within three years after the fiscal 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. Stock selection was the primary contributor to relative performance for the period, especially in the Financials — Real Estate, Consumer Staples and Health Care sectors. At the stock level, owning Nu Skin Enterprises Inc., a non-benchmark holding that returned over 280% for the period held as a result of improved earnings forecasts and revenue targets, was the primary contributor to performance, followed by an overweight to American Equity Investment Life Holding Company and FelCor Lodging Trust Inc. American Equity approved a preliminary agreement in a class action lawsuit at the end of October, and FelCor shares jumped

on the news of the sale of six “non-strategic” hotels allowing it to pay part of its accrued preferred dividends.
An overweight to Health Care and Financials stocks contributed to relative performance, as those sectors outperformed the benchmark overall.
Q. What were the leading detractors from performance?
A. Stock selection in the Materials sector was the primary detractor from relative return for the period, followed by selection in Software & Services and Technology. At the stock level, mining stocks Golden Star Resources Ltd. and Coeur Mining Inc. were impacted by falling gold prices and were the primary detractors at the stock level. An overweight to a financial services firm that focuses on the under-banked consumer, DFC Global Corp. also detracted. All three stock level detractors had double digit negative returns for the period.
Sector allocation decisions overall detracted from relative performance, with an underweight to Retailers and Consumer Services, which outperformed in the benchmark, and an overweight to Materials, which underperformed, hurting performance

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, 2013 and held for the six months ended December 31, 2013.
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.

† | Hypothetical illustration of $1,000,000 invested in Class I shares of Legg Mason Batterymarch U.S. Small Capitalization Equity Portfolio on December 31, 2003, assuming the reinvestment of all distributions, including returns of capital, if any, at net asset value through December 31, 2013. The hypothetical illustration also assumes a $1,000,000 investment in the Russell 2000 Index. The Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 8% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The Index is unmanaged and is not subject to the same management and trading expenses as a mutual fund. Please note that an investor cannot invest directly in an index. The performance of the Fund’s other classes may be greater or less than Class I share’s performance indicated on this chart, depending on whether greater or lesser sales charges and fees were incurred by shareholders investing in the other classes. |

Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. |

7 | Reflects recapture of fees waived/reimbursed from prior fiscal years. |
9 | Included in the expense ratios are certain non-recurring restructuring (and reorganization, if applicable) fees that were incurred by the Fund during the period. Without these fees, the gross and net expense ratios would have been 1.36%. |
10 | The impact of compensating balance arrangements, if any, was less than 0.01%. |
11 | Reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. |
12 | Effective April 30, 2010, as a result of an expense limitation arrangement, the ratio of expenses to average net assets of Class A shares did not exceed 1.30%. This expense limitation arrangement cannot be terminated prior to December 31, 2015 without the Board of Trustees’ consent. The manager currently intends to voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse expenses so that total annual operating expenses do not exceed 1.20%. This arrangement is expected to continue until December 31, 2015 but may be terminated at any time by the manager. These expense limitation arrangements do not include interest, brokerage commissions, dividend expense on short sales, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses. |

This expense limitation arrangement cannot be terminated prior to December 31, 2015 without the Board of Trustees’ consent. The manager currently intends to voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse expenses so that total annual operating expenses do not exceed 1.95%. This arrangement is expected to continue until December 31, 2015 but may be terminated at any time by the manager. These expense limitation arrangements do not include interest, brokerage commissions, dividend expense on short sales, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses. |

Notes to financial statements
1. Organization and significant accounting policies
Legg Mason Batterymarch U.S. Small Capitalization Equity Portfolio (the “Fund”) is a separate diversified investment series of Legg Mason Global Asset Management 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. On April 30, 2012, the Fund was reorganized as a new series of the Trust. Prior to April 30, 2012, the Fund was organized as a series of Legg Mason Charles Street Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation.
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. 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. 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. 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
| | |
32 | | Legg Mason Batterymarch U.S. Small Capitalization Equity Portfolio 2013 Annual Report |
Trustees. When determining the reliability of third party 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:
Ÿ | | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
Ÿ | | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
Ÿ | | 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.

† | 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) 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 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.
(d) Distributions to shareholders. Distributions from net investment income and distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared at least annually. Distributions to
| | |
34 | | Legg Mason Batterymarch U.S. Small Capitalization Equity Portfolio 2013 Annual Report |
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.
(e) REIT distributions. The character of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (‘‘REITs’’) held by the Fund is generally comprised of net investment income, capital gains, and return of capital. It is the policy of the Fund to estimate the character of distributions received from underlying REITs based on historical data provided by the REITs. After each calendar year end, REITs report the actual tax character of these distributions. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts reported by the REITs are reflected in the Fund’s records in the year in which they are reported by the REITs by adjusting related investment cost basis, capital gains and income, as necessary.
(f) 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.
(g) 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.
(h) 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, 2013, 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.
(i) 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) | | $ | 1,326,554 | | | $ | (1,326,554) | |
(a) | Reclassifications are primarily due to book/tax differences in the treatment of distributions from real estate investment trusts, book/tax differences in treatment of distributions and book/tax differences in the treatment of passive foreign investment companies. |

LMPFA provides administrative and certain oversight services to the Fund. LMPFA delegates to the investment adviser the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund, except for the management of cash and short-term instruments, which, effective February 2013, is provided by Western Asset. To the extent LMPFA receives a management fee after taking into accounts its contractual obligation to limit expenses as discussed below, LMPFA will pay Batterymarch and Western Asset the entire management fee it received from the Fund.
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 A2, Class C, Class FI, Class I and Class IS shares did not exceed 1.30%, 1.50%, 2.05%, 1.30%, 1.00% and 0.75%, 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, 2015 without the Board of Trustees’ consent.
The manager currently intends to voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses (other than interest, brokerage commissions, dividend expense on short sales, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses) so that total annual operating expenses are not expected to exceed 1.20%, 1.40%, 1.95%, 1.20% and 0.90% for Class A, Class A2, Class C, Class FI and Class I shares, respectively. These arrangements are expected to continue until December 31, 2015 but may be terminated at any time by the manager.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed amounted to $154,345.
The investment manager is permitted to recapture amounts waived or reimbursed to a class within three years after the fiscal 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.

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 5.75% for Class A shares and Class A2 shares. There is a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% on Class C shares, which applies if redemption occurs within 12 months from purchase payment. In certain cases, Class A and Class A2 shares have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within 18 months from purchase payment. This CDSC only applies to those purchases of Class A and Class A2 shares, which, when combined with current holdings of other shares of funds sold by LMIS, equal or exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate. These purchases do not incur an initial sales charge.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, LMIS and its affiliates retained sales charges of $1,398 on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2013, CDSCs paid to LMIS and its affiliates were:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Class A | | | Class A2 | | | Class C | |
CDSCs | | $ | 5 | | | $ | 12 | | | $ | 43 | |
Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), Trustees may elect to defer receipt of all or a specified portion of their compensation. A participating Trustee may select one or more funds managed by affiliates of Legg Mason in which his or her deferred trustee’s fees will be deemed to be invested. Deferred amounts remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
All officers and two Trustees of the Trust are employees of Legg Mason or its affiliates and do not receive compensation from the Trust.

8. Line of credit
The Fund, along with certain other Legg Mason Funds, participated in a $200 million line of credit (“Credit Agreement”) to be used for temporary or emergency purposes. This 364-day revolving Credit Agreement matured on February 28, 2013. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, each participating fund was liable only for principal and interest payments related to borrowings made by that fund. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bore 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 period ended February 28, 2013. The Fund did not renew the Credit Agreement.
9. Income tax information and distributions to shareholders
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
Distributions Paid From: | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 33,231,823 | | | $ | 6,711,906 | |
Net long-term capital gains | | | 34,608,626 | | | | — | |
Total taxable distributions | | $ | 67,840,449 | | | $ | 6,711,906 | |
As of December 31, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income — net | | $ | 3,367,830 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gains — net | | | 17,106,129 | |
Total undistributed earnings | | $ | 20,473,959 | |
Capital loss carryforward** | | | (2,936,778) | |
Other book/tax temporary differences (a) | | | 42,537 | |
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) (b) | | | 174,891,399 | |
Total accumulated earnings (losses) — net | | $ | 192,471,117 | |
** | During the taxable year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund utilized $978,926 of its capital loss carryforward available from prior years. As of December 31, 2013, the Fund had the following net capital loss carryforwards remaining: |
| | | | |
Year of Expiration | | Amount | |
12/31/2016 | | $ | (2,936,778 | ) |
This amount will be available to offset any future taxable capital gains.
In addition, the Fund’s capital loss carryforward is subject to an annual limitation of $978,926 due to a prior year reorganization.
(a) | Other book/tax temporary differences are attributable primarily to the book/tax differences in the treatment of distributions from real estate investment trusts and book/tax differences in the timing of the deductibility of various expenses. |
(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 realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies. |
10. Recent accounting pronouncement

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Legg Mason Batterymarch U.S. Small Capitalization Equity Portfolio (one of the funds comprising Legg Mason Global Asset Management Trust, the “Fund”) at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board approval of investment management and advisory agreements (unaudited)
At its November 2013 meeting, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved the continuation of the investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC (the “Manager”), the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Batterymarch Financial Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) and the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) pursuant to which Western Asset Management Company (“Western Asset”) provides day-to-day management of the Fund’s cash and short-term investments. (The Management, Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements are collectively referred to as the “Agreements.”) The trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) (the “Independent Trustees”), met on October 10, 2013, 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 Adviser to assist the Board, and in particular the Independent Trustees, in considering renewal of the Management and Advisory Agreements, respectively. At such October meeting the Independent Trustees received a presentation from senior Fund management and reviewed the information provided, as well as a memorandum from their independent legal counsel and materials from the contract review consultant. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, at its November 2013 meeting, reviewed and evaluated the materials provided by Western Asset to assist the Board, and in particular the Independent Trustees, in considering renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees further discussed renewal of the Management, Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements in an executive session with independent legal counsel on November 8, 2013.
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 Agreements. 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 continuance of the Agreements.
The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Manager, the Adviser and Western Asset, under the Management, Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, respectively. The Board also considered the Manager’s supervisory activities over the Adviser and Western Asset. 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 and its affiliates. The Board noted information received at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by the Manager in its management of the Fund’s affairs, the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Adviser, Western Asset and the Fund’s other service providers and the services rendered by the Adviser and Western Asset. The Board’s evaluation of the services provided by the Manager, the Adviser and Western Asset took
| | |
44 | | Legg Mason Batterymarch U.S. Small Capitalization Equity Portfolio |
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, the Adviser and Western Asset 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.
The Board considered the division of responsibilities between the Manager and the Adviser and Western Asset and the oversight provided by the Manager. The Board also considered the Adviser’s brokerage policies and practices, the standards applied in seeking best execution, the policies 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 Lipper benchmark. 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 and had met with the Fund’s portfolio managers at in-person meetings throughout the year.
The Board also received and reviewed supplemental performance benchmarking materials prepared by the Independent Trustees’ contract review consultant. Although the peer group and product category measures used by the contract review consultant were not the same as the Performance Universe used by Lipper, the Board noted that the results of the consultant’s measures were consistent with and confirmed the results of the Lipper data. The Board also reviewed other measures of performance and risk provided by the contract review consultant.
The Board considered the Fund’s performance for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2013, placing the Fund’s Class A Shares in the fourth quintile for the one-year period and the second quintile for the three-year period. The Board considered the analysis provided by the Adviser of the reasons for the underperformance of the Fund during the one-year period. 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 Advisory 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
| | |
Legg Mason Batterymarch U.S. Small Capitalization Equity Portfolio | | 45 |
Board approval of investment management and advisory agreements (unaudited) (cont’d)
quality of the management and advisory services provided by the Manager, the Adviser and Western Asset, respectively. The Board noted that the Manager, and not the Fund, pays the fee to the Adviser and Western Asset. 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) (the “Actual Management Fee”).
The Board also reviewed information regarding the fees the Manager, the Adviser and Western Asset 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 Western Asset. 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.
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. The Board also received and reviewed supplemental expense benchmarking materials prepared by the Independent Trustees’ contract review consultant. Although the peer group and product category measures used by the contract review consultant were not the same as the Lipper expense group or expense universe, the Board noted that results of the consultant’s measures were consistent with and confirmed the results of the Lipper data. With respect to the Fund, the Board noted that Contractual and Actual Management Fees for the Class IS Shares were less than median (first quintile) and that actual total expenses for the Class IS Shares were lower than the Lipper expense group and expense universe medians.
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, 2013, 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 were no current 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, 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 approval of each Agreement is in the best interest of the Fund.

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller.
ITEM 3. | AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT. |
The Board of Trustees of the registrant has determined that Arthur S. Mehlman the Chairman of the Board’s Audit Committee and Robert M. Tarola, possess the technical attributes identified in Instruction 2(b) of Item 3 to Form N-CSR to qualify as “audit committee financial experts,” and have designated Mr. Mehlman and Mr. Tarola as the Audit Committee’s financial experts. Mr. Mehlman and Mr. Tarola are “independent” Trustees pursuant to paragraph (a) (2) of Item 3 to Form N-CSR.
ITEM 4. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES. |
a) Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the last two fiscal years ending December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013 (the “Reporting Periods”) for professional services rendered by the Registrant’s principal accountant (the “Auditor”) for the audit of the Registrant’s annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by the Auditor in connection with the statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the Reporting Periods, were $161,900 in December 31, 2012 and $240,415 in December 31, 2013.
b) Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Period for assurance and related services by the Auditor that are reasonably related to the performance of the Registrant’s financial statements were $8,500 in December 31, 2012 and $8,500 in December 31, 2013. These services consisted of procedures performed in connection with the Re-domiciliation of the various reviews of Prospectus supplements, and consent issuances related to the N-1A filings for Legg Mason Global Asset Management Trust.
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.
(c) Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for professional services rendered by the Auditor for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning (“Tax Services”) were $24,695 in December 31, 2012 and $22,680 in December 31, 2013. These services consisted of (i) review or preparation of U.S. federal, state, local and excise tax returns; (ii) U.S. federal, state and local tax planning, advice and assistance regarding statutory, regulatory or administrative developments, and (iii) tax advice regarding tax qualification matters and/or treatment of various financial instruments held or proposed to be acquired or held.
There were no fees billed for tax services by the Auditors to service affiliates during the Reporting Periods that required pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
d) All Other Fees. The aggregate fees for other fees billed in the Reporting Periods for products and services provided by the Auditor were $3,306 in December 31, 2012 and $5,305 in December 31, 2013, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this item for the Legg Mason Global Asset Management Trust.
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.

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.

(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 $14,100 in December 31, 2012 and $254,500 in December 31, 2013.
(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.
