Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Western Asset Limited Duration Bond Portfolio
The average annual total returns for the Western Asset Limited Duration Bond Portfolio for the period from its inception to March 31, 2006, are presented below, along with the total returns of its benchmark:

The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The performance stated may have been due to extraordinary market conditions, which may not be duplicated in the future. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain the most recent month-end performance information please visit www.westernassetfunds.com. The investment return and principal value of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods.
Short-term interest rates rose significantly over the past 12 months, led by a 200 bpsC increase in the federal funds rate target. Long-term interest rates rose only moderately, resulting in a substantial flattening of the yield curve. Contrary to expectations that they would hike rates to only 4%, the Federal Reserve increased its target funds rate by 25 bps at every Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) meeting, reaching 4.75% in March. Tighter-than-expected monetary policy pushed real yields up by more than nominal yields, reflecting reduced inflation expectations. The dollar also benefited from higher rates, rising some 7% against a basket of currencies. Mortgage-backed spreads began the period fairly tight, only to widen in the latter half of the period as concerns over extension risk mounted. Investment-grade credit spreads drifted wider, driven largely by fallout from the unexpected downgrade of Ford and GM debt. Thanks to a robust global economy, easy money, and strong gains in commodity prices, emerging market spreads tightened dramatically over the course of the period, leaving yields at record-low levels. High-yield spreads soared in the wake of the GM and Ford downgrades, but recovered dramatically to finish the period unchanged to somewhat tighter. Despite a substantial reduction of monetary policy accommodation during the period, gold rose over 35%, to $584 per ounce, returning to levels not seen since the inflation panic of 1980. Energy and industrial commodity prices also rose, registering substantial gains against all major currencies. Equity markets moved steadily higher over the course of the period.
The impact of market conditions on the Portfolio’s performance was negative for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2006, since short-term interest rates rose. With strategies producing generally positive results, the Portfolio’s total return of 3.01% (net of expenses) exceeded that of its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch 1-3 year Treasury Index, which recorded a total return of 2.32%. Duration management detracted from performance as yields, lead by the front-end, rose higher than we expected. The mortgage-backed sector contributed to performance as a higher carry and narrowing spreads late in the period generated excess returns beyond Treasuries. Exposure to BBB corporate securities was increased following the spread widening in the beginning of the period and this benefited the portfolio. A modest exposure to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities was slightly negative as real yields rose faster than nominal yields.

Annual Report to Shareholders
Expense Example
Western Asset Limited Duration Bond Portfolio
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2005, and held through March 31, 2006.
Actual Expenses
The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for the Fund. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% 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 this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/05 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/06 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/05 to 3/31/06 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,012.90 | | $ | 2.01 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.94 | | | 2.02 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.40% multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (182), and divided by 365. |

Performance Information
Western Asset Limited Duration Bond Portfolio
The graph compares the Fund’s total returns against that of an appropriate broad-based securities market index. The line illustrates the cumulative total return of an initial $1,000,000 investment for the periods indicated. The line for the Fund represents the total return after deducting all Fund investment management and other administrative expenses and the transaction costs of buying and selling securities. The line representing the securities market index does not include any transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities in the index or other investment management or administrative expenses.
Total return measures investment performance in terms of appreciation or depreciation in the Fund’s net asset value per share, plus dividends and any capital gain distributions. It assumes that dividends and distributions were reinvested at the time they were paid. Returns (and the graph and table found below) do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Average annual returns tend to smooth out variations in a fund’s return, so that they differ from actual year-to-year results.
Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit and inflation risk.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Western Asset Intermediate Bond Portfolio
The average annual total returns for the Western Asset Intermediate Bond Portfolio for the period from its inception to March 31, 2006, are presented below, along with the total returns of its benchmark:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | Average Annual Total Returns Periods Ended March 31, 2006
|
| | First Quarter 2006 | | One Year | | Five Years | | Ten Years |
Western Asset Intermediate Bond Portfolio | | | | | | | | |
Institutional Class | | -0.19% | | 2.37% | | 5.38% | | 6.31% |
Lehman Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond IndexA | | -0.38% | | 2.08% | | 4.71% | | 5.85% |
The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The performance stated may have been due to extraordinary market conditions, which may not be duplicated in the future. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain the most recent month-end performance information please visit www.westernassetfunds.com. The investment return and principal value of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods.
Short-term interest rates rose significantly over the past 12 months, led by a 200 bpsB increase in the federal funds rate target. Long-term interest rates rose only moderately, resulting in a substantial flattening of the yield curve. Contrary to expectations that they would hike rates to only 4%, the Federal Reserve increased its target funds rate by 25 bps at every FOMC meeting, reaching 4.75% in March. Tighter-than-expected monetary policy pushed real yields up by more than nominal yields, reflecting reduced inflation expectations. The dollar also benefited from higher rates, rising some 7% against a basket of currencies. Mortgage-backed spreads began the period fairly tight, only to widen in the latter half of the period as concerns over extension risk mounted. Investment-grade credit spreads drifted wider, driven largely by fallout from the unexpected downgrade of Ford and GM debt. Thanks to a robust global economy, easy money, and strong gains in commodity prices, emerging market spreads tightened dramatically over the course of the period, leaving yields at record-low levels. High yield spreads soared in the wake of the GM and Ford downgrades, but recovered dramatically to finish the period unchanged to somewhat tighter. Despite a substantial reduction of monetary policy accommodation during the period, gold rose over 35%, to $584 per ounce, returning to levels not seen since the inflation panic of 1980. Energy and industrial commodity prices also rose, registering substantial gains against all major currencies. Equity markets moved steadily higher over the course of the period.
The impact of market conditions on the Portfolio’s performance was negative for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2006, since short- and intermediate-term interest rates rose. With strategies producing mixed but generally positive results, the Portfolio’s total return of 2.37% (net of expenses) exceeded that of its benchmark, the Lehman Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which recorded a total return of 2.08%. A short duration position benefited the portfolio as rates rose. However, this was partially offset by a curve steepening bet. A moderate overweight to the corporate sector contributed to outperformance as spreads narrowed. Mortgages contributed to outperformance as spreads narrowed late in the period and a high carry resulted in excess returns over Treasuries.

Annual Report to Shareholders
Expense Example
Western Asset Intermediate Bond Portfolio
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2005, and held through March 31, 2006.
Actual Expenses
The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for the Fund. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% 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 this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/05 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/06 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/05 to 3/31/06 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,001.80 | | $ | 2.25 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.69 | | | 2.27 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.45% multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (182), and divided by 365. |

Annual Report to Shareholders
Performance Information
Western Asset Intermediate Bond Portfolio
The graph compares the Fund’s total returns against that of an appropriate broad-based securities market index. The line illustrates the cumulative total return of an initial $1,000,000 investment for the periods indicated. The line for the Fund represents the total return after deducting all Fund investment management and other administrative expenses and the transaction costs of buying and selling securities. The line representing the securities market index does not include any transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities in the index or other investment management or administrative expenses.
Total return measures investment performance in terms of appreciation or depreciation in net asset value per share, plus dividends and any capital gain distributions. It assumes that dividends and distributions were reinvested at the time they were paid. Returns (and the graph and table found below) do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Average annual returns tend to smooth out variations in a fund’s return, so that they differ from actual year-to-year results.
Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit, and inflation risk.

Annual Report to Shareholders
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Western Asset Intermediate Plus Bond Portfolio
The average annual total returns for the Western Asset Intermediate Plus Bond Portfolio for the period from its inception to March 31, 2006, are presented below, along with the total returns of its benchmark:
| | | | | | |
| | Average Annual Total Returns Periods Ended March 31, 2006
|
| | First Quarter 2006 | | One Year | | Since InceptionA |
Western Asset Intermediate Plus Bond Portfolio | | | | | | |
Institutional Class | | -0.08% | | 2.99% | | 2.40% |
Lehman Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond IndexB | | -0.38% | | 2.08% | | 0.87% |
The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The performance stated may have been due to extraordinary market conditions, which may not be duplicated in the future. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain the most recent month-end performance information please visit www.westernassetfunds.com. The investment return and principal value of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods.
Short-term interest rates rose significantly over the past 12 months, led by a 200 bpsC increase in the federal funds rate target. Long-term interest rates rose only moderately, resulting in a substantial flattening of the yield curve. Contrary to expectations that they would hike rates to only 4%, the Federal Reserve increased its target funds rate by 25 bps at every FOMC meeting, reaching 4.75% in March. Tighter-than-expected monetary policy pushed real yields up by more than nominal yields, reflecting reduced inflation expectations. The dollar also benefited from higher rates, rising some 7% against a basket of currencies. Mortgage-backed spreads began the period fairly tight, only to widen in the latter half of the period as concerns over extension risk mounted. Investment-grade credit spreads drifted wider, driven largely by fallout from the unexpected downgrade of Ford and GM debt. Thanks to a robust global economy, easy money, and strong gains in commodity prices, emerging market spreads tightened dramatically over the course of the period, leaving yields at record-low levels. High yield spreads soared in the wake of the GM and Ford downgrades, but recovered dramatically to finish the period unchanged to somewhat tighter. Despite a substantial reduction of monetary policy accommodation during the period, gold rose over 35%, to $584 per ounce, returning to levels not seen since the inflation panic of 1980. Energy and industrial commodity prices also rose, registering substantial gains against all major currencies. Equity markets moved steadily higher over the course of the period.
The impact of market conditions on the Portfolio’s performance was negative for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2006, since short-term interest rates rose. With strategies producing generally positive results, the Portfolio’s total return of 2.99% (net of expenses) exceeded that of its benchmark, the Lehman Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which recorded a total return of 2.08%. A short duration position benefited the portfolio as rates rose. However, this was partially offset by a curve steepening bet. A moderate overweight to the corporate sector contributed to outperformance as spreads narrowed. Mortgages contributed to outperformance as spreads narrowed late in the period and a high carry resulted in excess returns over Treasuries. Emerging market debt was one of the best-performing asset classes and a moderate exposure contributed significantly to outperformance. The high-yield sector also performed impressively and a moderate contribution benefited the portfolio.

Annual Report to Shareholders
Expense Example
Western Asset Intermediate Plus Bond Portfolio
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2005, and held through March 31, 2006.
Actual Expenses
The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for the Fund. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% 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 this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/05 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/06 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/05 to 3/31/06 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,003.00 | | $ | 2.25 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.69 | | | 2.27 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.45% multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (182), and divided by 365. |

Annual Report to Shareholders
Performance Information
Western Asset Intermediate Plus Bond Portfolio
The graph compares the Fund’s total returns against that of an appropriate broad-based securities market index. The line illustrates the cumulative total return of an initial $1,000,000 investment for the periods indicated. The line for the Fund represents the total return after deducting all Fund investment management and other administrative expenses and the transaction costs of buying and selling securities. The line representing the securities market index does not include any transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities in the index or other investment management or administrative expenses.
Total return measures investment performance in terms of appreciation or depreciation in net asset value per share, plus dividends and any capital gain distributions. It assumes that dividends and distributions were reinvested at the time they were paid. Returns (and the graph and table found below) do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Average annual returns tend to smooth out variations in a fund’s return, so that they differ from actual year-to-year results.
Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit, and inflation risk.

The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The performance stated may have been due to extraordinary market conditions, which may not be duplicated in the future. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain the most recent month-end performance information please visit www.westernassetfunds.com. The investment return and principal value of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods.
Short-term interest rates rose significantly over the past 12 months, led by a 200 bpsC increase in the federal funds rate target. Long-term interest rates rose only moderately, resulting in a substantial flattening of the yield curve. Contrary to expectations that they would hike rates to only 4%, the Federal Reserve increased its target funds rate by 25 bps at every FOMC meeting, reaching 4.75% in March. Tighter-than-expected monetary policy pushed real yields up by more than nominal yields, reflecting reduced inflation expectations. The dollar also benefited from higher rates, rising some 7% against a basket of currencies. Mortgage-backed spreads began the period fairly tight, only to widen in the latter half of the period as concerns over extension risk mounted. Investment-grade credit spreads drifted wider, driven largely by fallout from the unexpected downgrade of Ford and GM debt. Thanks to a robust global economy, easy money, and strong gains in commodity prices, emerging market spreads tightened dramatically over the course of the period, leaving yields at record-low levels. High-yield spreads soared in the wake of the GM and Ford downgrades, but recovered dramatically to finish the period unchanged to somewhat tighter. Despite a substantial reduction of monetary policy accommodation during the period, gold rose over 35%, to $584 per ounce, returning to levels not seen since the inflation panic of 1980. Energy and industrial commodity prices also rose, registering substantial gains against all major currencies. Equity markets moved steadily higher over the course of the period.
The impact of market conditions on the Portfolio’s performance was negative for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2006, since interest rates rose significantly. With strategies producing mixed but generally positive results, the Portfolio’s Institutional Class’s total return of 2.46% (net of expenses) exceeded that of its benchmark, the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index, which recorded a total return of 2.26%. Our decision to extend duration moderately as rates rose suffered since rates continued to drift higher. A barbelled exposure to the yield curve in the early part of the period benefited from a flatter curve, but this was more than offset by an emphasis on the front end of the curve during the balance of the period since short-term rates rose more than we expected. A moderately overweight exposure to BBB corporates contributed to returns as spreads narrowed. An underweight exposure to the mortgage-backed sector in the first part of the period benefited as spreads widened, and a shift to an overweight exposure later in the period benefited as spreads stabilized and then tightened modestly. A moderate exposure to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities had a somewhat negative impact on returns since declining breakeven spreads were only partially offset by a higher-than-expected inflation adjustment for the period.

Annual Report to Shareholders
Expense Example
Western Asset Core Bond Portfolio
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, service (12b-1) fees on Financial Intermediary Class shares, and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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. Each example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2005, and held through March 31, 2006.
Actual Expenses
The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for the Fund. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% 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 this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples for the relevant classes that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/05 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/06 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/05 to 3/31/06 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 995.70 | | $ | 2.24 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.69 | | | 2.27 |
| | | |
Financial Intermediary Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 994.50 | | $ | 3.48 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,021.44 | | | 3.53 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.45% and 0.70% for the Institutional Class and Financial Intermediary Class, respectively, multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (182), and divided by 365. |

Annual Report to Shareholders
Performance Information
Western Asset Core Bond Portfolio
The graphs compare the Fund’s total returns to that of an appropriate broad-based securities market index. The graphs illustrate the cumulative total return of an initial $1,000,000 investment in the Institutional Class and Financial Intermediary Class of the Fund, for the periods indicated. The lines for the Fund represent the total return after deducting all Fund investment management and other administrative expenses and the transaction costs of buying and selling securities. The line representing the securities market index does not include any transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities in the index or other investment management or administrative expenses.
Total return measures investment performance in terms of appreciation or depreciation in a Fund’s net asset value per share, plus dividends and any capital gain distributions. It assumes that dividends and distributions were reinvested at the time they were paid. Returns (and the graph and table found below) do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Average annual returns tend to smooth out variations in a fund’s return, so that they differ from actual year-to-year results.
Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit and inflation risk.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Western Asset Core Plus Bond Portfolio

The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The performance stated may have been due to extraordinary market conditions, which may not be duplicated in the future. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain the most recent month-end performance information please visit www.westernassetfunds.com. The investment return and principal value of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods.
Short-term interest rates rose significantly over the past 12 months, led by a 200 bpsC increase in the federal funds rate target. Long-term interest rates rose only moderately, resulting in a substantial flattening of the yield curve. Contrary to expectations that they would hike rates to only 4%, the Federal Reserve increased its target funds rate by 25 bps at every FOMC meeting, reaching 4.75% in March. Tighter-than-expected monetary policy pushed real yields up by more than nominal yields, reflecting reduced inflation expectations. The dollar also benefited from higher rates, rising some 7% against a basket of currencies. Mortgage-backed spreads began the period fairly tight, only to widen in the latter half of the period as concerns over extension risk mounted. Investment-grade credit spreads drifted wider, driven largely by fallout from the unexpected downgrade of Ford and GM debt. Thanks to a robust global economy, easy money, and strong gains in commodity prices, emerging market spreads tightened dramatically over the course of the period, leaving yields at record-low levels. High yield spreads soared in the wake of the GM and Ford downgrades, but recovered dramatically to finish the period unchanged to somewhat tighter. Despite a substantial reduction of monetary policy accommodation during the period, gold rose over 35%, to $584 per ounce, returning to levels not seen since the inflation panic of 1980. Energy and industrial commodity prices also rose, registering substantial gains against all major currencies. Equity markets moved steadily higher over the course of the period.
The impact of market conditions on the Portfolio’s performance was negative for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2006, since interest rates rose significantly. With strategies producing mixed but generally positive results, the Portfolio’s Institutional Class’s total return of 2.57% (net of expenses) exceeded that of its benchmark, the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index, which recorded a total return of 2.26%. Our decision to extend duration moderately as rates rose suffered since rates continued to drift higher. A barbelled exposure to the yield curve in the early part of the period benefited from a flatter curve, but this was more than offset by an emphasis on the front end of the curve during the balance of the period since short-term rates rose more than had been expected. A moderately overweight exposure to BBB corporates contributed to returns as spreads narrowed, but an emphasis on BB bonds, particularly increased exposure to GM and Ford in the wake of their unexpected downgrades, suffered as spreads continued to widen. An underweight exposure to the mortgage-backed sector in the first part of the period benefited as spreads widened, and a shift to an overweight exposure later in the period benefited as spreads stabilized and then tightened modestly. A moderate exposure to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities had a somewhat negative impact on returns since declining break-even spreads were only partially offset by a higher-than-expected inflation adjustment for the period. A modest exposure to emerging market debt had a positive impact on performance as spreads moved generally tighter. Moderate nondollar bond exposure had a positive impact on performance as our choice of bonds outperformed their U.S. counterparts.

Annual Report to Shareholders
Expense Example
Western Asset Core Plus Bond Portfolio
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, service (12b-1) fees on Financial Intermediary Class shares, and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2005, and held through March 31, 2006.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line for each class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the relevant class’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the class’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 this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples for the relevant class that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/05 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/06 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/05 to 3/31/06 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 994.20 | | $ | 2.24 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.69 | | | 2.27 |
| | | |
Financial Intermediary Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | | 1,000.00 | | $ | 991.90 | | $ | 3.48 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,021.44 | | | 3.53 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.45% and 0.70% for the Institutional Class and Financial Intermediary Class, respectively, multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (182), and divided by 365. |

Annual Report to Shareholders
Performance Information
Western Asset Core Plus Bond Portfolio
The graphs compare the Fund’s total returns to that of an appropriate broad-based securities market index. The graphs illustrate the cumulative total return of an initial $1,000,000 investment in the Institutional Class and Financial Intermediary Class of the Fund, for the periods indicated. The lines for the Fund represent the total return after deducting all Fund investment management and other administrative expenses and the transaction costs of buying and selling securities. The line representing the securities market index does not include any transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities in the index or other investment management or administrative expenses.
Total return measures investment performance in terms of appreciation or depreciation in a fund’s net asset value per share, plus dividends and any capital gain distributions. It assumes that dividends and distributions were reinvested at the time they were paid. Returns (and the graph and table found below) do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Average annual returns tend to smooth out variations in a fund’s return, so that they differ from actual year-to-year results.
Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit and inflation risk.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Western Asset Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Portfolio
The average annual total returns for the Western Asset Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Portfolio for the period from its inception to March 31, 2006, are presented below, along with the total returns of its benchmark:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Average Annual Total Returns Periods Ended March 31, 2006
|
| | First Quarter 2006 | | One Year | | Three Years | | Five Years | | Since InceptionA |
Western Asset Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Portfolio | | | | | | | | | | |
Institutional Class | | -1.75% | | 1.44% | | 4.95% | | 7.23% | | 7.23% |
Lehman U.S. Treasury Inflation Notes IndexB | | -2.25% | | 0.86% | | 4.78% | | 7.24% | | 7.27% |
The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The performance stated may have been due to extraordinary market conditions, which may not be duplicated in the future. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain the most recent month-end performance information please visit www.westernassetfunds.com. The investment return and principal value of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods.
Short-term interest rates rose significantly over the past 12 months, led by a 200 bpsC increase in the federal funds rate target. Long-term interest rates rose only moderately, resulting in a substantial flattening of the yield curve. Contrary to expectations that they would hike rates to only 4%, the Federal Reserve increased its target funds rate by 25 bps at every FOMC meeting, reaching 4.75% in March. Tighter-than-expected monetary policy pushed real yields up by more than nominal yields, reflecting reduced inflation expectations. The dollar also benefited from higher rates, rising some 7% against a basket of currencies. Mortgage-backed spreads began the period fairly tight, only to widen in the latter half of the period as concerns over extension risk mounted. Investment-grade credit spreads drifted wider, driven largely by fallout from the unexpected downgrade of Ford and GM debt. Thanks to a robust global economy, easy money, and strong gains in commodity prices, emerging market spreads tightened dramatically over the course of the period, leaving yields at record-low levels. High yield spreads soared in the wake of the GM and Ford downgrades, but recovered dramatically to finish the period unchanged to somewhat tighter. Despite a substantial reduction of monetary policy accommodation during the period, gold rose over 35%, to $584 per ounce, returning to levels not seen since the inflation panic of 1980. Energy and industrial commodity prices also rose, registering substantial gains against all major currencies. Equity markets moved steadily higher over the course of the period.
The impact of market conditions on the Portfolio’s performance was negative for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2006, since real yields rose in sympathy with rising nominal yields. With strategies producing mixed but generally positive results, the Fund’s total return of 1.44% (net of expenses) exceeded that of its benchmark, the Lehman U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) Index, which recorded a total return of 0.86%. Our expectation that the front-end of the yield curve would steepen was the only detractor among otherwise successful strategies. Exposure to emerging market debt was the single largest contributor to performance as spreads narrowed to historically low levels. A modest exposure to nondollar inflation-linked bonds also added to returns since foreign real yields rose less than their domestic counterparts. Exposure to corporate debt contributed to performance, especially during the lasts few months as positive news in the auto sector drove spreads tighter.

Annual Report to Shareholders
Expense Example
Western Asset Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Portfolio
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2005, and held through March 31, 2006.
Actual Expenses
The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for the Fund. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% 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 this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/05 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/06 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/05 to 3/31/06 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 982.90 | | $ | 1.24 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,023.68 | | | 1.26 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.25% multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (182), and divided by 365 . |

Annual Report to Shareholders
Performance Information
Western Asset Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Portfolio
The graph compares the Fund’s total returns against that of an appropriate broad-based securities market index. The line illustrates the cumulative total return of an initial $1,000,000 investment for the periods indicated. The line for the Fund represents the total return after deducting all Fund investment management and other administrative expenses and the transaction costs of buying and selling securities. The line representing the securities market index does not include any transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities in the index or other investment management or administrative expenses.
Total return measures investment performance in terms of appreciation or depreciation in a Fund’s net asset value per share, plus dividends and any capital gain distributions. It assumes that dividends and distributions were reinvested at the time they were paid. Returns (and the graph and table found below) do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Average annual returns tend to smooth out variations in a fund’s return, so that they differ from actual year-to-year results.
Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit and inflation risk.

The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The performance stated may have been due to extraordinary market conditions, which may not be duplicated in the future. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain the most recent month-end performance information, please visit www.westernassetfunds.com. The investment return and principal value of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Western Asset High Yield Portfolio
The average annual total returns for the Western Asset High Yield Portfolio for the period from its inception to March 31, 2006, are presented below, along with the total returns of its current and former benchmark:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | Average Annual Total Returns Periods Ended March 31, 2006
|
| | First Quarter 2006 | | One Year | | Three Years | | Since InceptionA |
Western Asset High Yield Bond Portfolio | | | | | | | | |
Institutional Class | | 3.09% | | 7.30% | | 11.01% | | 9.14% |
Lehman High Yield, 2% Issuer Constrained IndexB | | 2.60% | | 7.15% | | 11.96% | | 10.89% |
Lehman High Yield IndexC | | 2.89% | | 7.43% | | 12.08% | | 10.70% |
The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The performance stated may have been due to extraordinary market conditions, which may not be duplicated in the future. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain the most recent month-end performance information please visit www.westernassetfunds.com. The investment return and principal value of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods.
Short-term interest rates rose significantly over the past 12 months, led by a 200 bpsD increase in the federal funds rate target. Long-term interest rates rose only moderately, resulting in a substantial flattening of the yield curve. Contrary to expectations that they would hike rates to only 4%, the Federal Reserve increased its target funds rate by 25 bps at every FOMC meeting, reaching 4.75% in March. Tighter-than-expected monetary policy pushed real yields up by more than nominal yields, reflecting reduced inflation expectations. The dollar also benefited from higher rates, rising some 7% against a basket of currencies. Mortgage-backed spreads began the period fairly tight, only to widen in the latter half of the period as concerns over extension risk mounted. Investment-grade credit spreads drifted wider, driven largely by fallout from the unexpected downgrade of Ford and GM debt. Thanks to a robust global economy, easy money, and strong gains in commodity prices, emerging market spreads tightened dramatically over the course of the period, leaving yields at record-low levels. High-yield spreads soared in the wake of the GM and Ford downgrades, but recovered dramatically to finish the period unchanged to somewhat tighter. Despite a substantial reduction of monetary policy accommodation during the period, gold rose over 35%, to $584 per ounce, returning to levels not seen since the inflation panic of 1980. Energy and industrial commodity prices also rose, registering substantial gains against all major currencies. Equity markets moved steadily higher over the course of the period.
For the 12-month period ending March 31, 2006, the Fund returned 7.30%, net of fees, versus 7.15% for the Lehman High Yield 2% Issuer Constrained Index. Effective September 1, 2005, the Fund changed its comparative index from the Lehman High Yield Index to the Lehman High Yield Index 2% Issuer Constrained (“High Yield Constrained Index”). As a result of significant changes to the Lehman High Yield composition and Lehman index methodology rules, the adviser has determined that the High Yield Constrained Index is more representative of the overall high yield market and therefore more accurately reflects the types of securities in which the Fund invests. The primary reasons for outperformance include: (1) overweight to lower-rated issues; (2) issue selections; and (3) industry allocations. The Fund had an overweight to below B rated issuers. In general, CCC and below rated issues returned 7.43% for the period. Five of the Fund’s top 10 overweights generated returns between 10.96% and 19.07%. Eight of the Fund’s top 10 underweights underperformed the index between 101 and 951 basis points. The Fund had an overweight to transportation and capital goods, which returned 11.00% and 8.27%, respectively. Given the recent spread tightening, our enthusiasm for high yield remains somewhat guarded. In our opinion, returns for the balance of the year will be driven more by lower treasury rates and coupon. We feel any spread tightening from current levels will be limited. Regarding fundamentals, the backdrop continues to be favorable. Corporate cash flow is strong, debt leverage remains reasonable, and cash levels on the balance sheet as well as inventories are encouraging. However, we recognize that the credit cycle has peaked. We expect to see deterioration in credit statistics over the next few quarters, but overall economic conditions should temper this deterioration.

Annual Report to Shareholders
Expense Example
Western Asset High Yield Portfolio
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2005, and held through March 31, 2006.
Actual Expenses
The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for the Fund. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% 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 this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/05 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/06 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/05 to 3/31/06 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,037.10 | | $ | 3.15 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,021.84 | | | 3.13 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.62% multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (182), and divided by 365. |

Annual Report to Shareholders
Performance Information
Western Asset High Yield Portfolio
The graph compares the Fund’s total returns against that of two broad-based securities market indices. The lines illustrate the cumulative total return of an initial $1,000,000 investment for the periods indicated. The line for the Fund represents the total return after deducting all Fund investment management and other administrative expenses and the transaction costs of buying and selling securities. The lines representing the securities market indices do not include any transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities in the indices or other investment management or administrative expenses.
Total return measures investment performance in terms of appreciation or depreciation in a Fund’s net asset value per share, plus dividends and any capital gain distributions. It assumes that dividends and distributions were reinvested at the time they were paid. Returns (and the graph and table found below) do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Average annual returns tend to smooth out variations in a fund’s return, so that they differ from actual year-to-year results.
Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit and inflation risk. High Yield Securities are subject to greater fluctuations in value and greater risk of loss of income and principle due to default by the issuer than are higher rated bonds.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Western Asset Non-U.S. Opportunity Bond Portfolio
The average annual total returns for the Western Asset Core Bond Portfolio for the period from its inception to March 31, 2006, are presented below, along with the total returns of its benchmark:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | Average Annual Total Returns Periods Ended March 31, 2006
|
| | First Quarter 2006 | | One Year | | Three Years | | Five Years | | Since InceptionA |
Western Asset Non-U.S. Opportunity Bond Portfolio | | | | | | | | | | |
Institutional Class | | -0.21% | | 5.33% | | 7.47% | | 9.27% | | 7.62% |
Citigroup World Government | | | | | | | | | | |
ex-U.S. Bond Index (Hedged)B | | -0.92% | | 3.44% | | 3.46% | | 4.37% | | 5.47% |
The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The performance stated may have been due to extraordinary market conditions, which may not be duplicated in the future. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain the most recent month-end performance information please visit www.westernassetfunds.com. The investment return and principal value of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods.
Short-term interest rates rose significantly over the past 12 months, led by a 200 bpsC increase in the federal funds rate target. Long-term interest rates rose only moderately, resulting in a substantial flattening of the yield curve. Contrary to expectations that they would hike rates to only 4%, the Federal Reserve increased its target funds rate by 25 bps at every FOMC meeting, reaching 4.75% in March. Tighter-than-expected monetary policy pushed real yields up by more than nominal yields, reflecting reduced inflation expectations. The dollar also benefited from higher rates, rising some 7% against a basket of currencies. Mortgage-backed spreads began the period fairly tight, only to widen in the latter half of the period as concerns over extension risk mounted. Investment-grade credit spreads drifted wider, driven largely by fallout from the unexpected downgrade of Ford and GM debt. Thanks to a robust global economy, easy money, and strong gains in commodity prices, emerging market spreads tightened dramatically over the course of the period, leaving yields at record-low levels. High-yield spreads soared in the wake of the GM and Ford downgrades, but recovered dramatically to finish the period unchanged to somewhat tighter. Despite a substantial reduction of monetary policy accommodation during the period, gold rose over 35%, to $584 per ounce, returning to levels not seen since the inflation panic of 1980. Energy and industrial commodity prices also rose, registering substantial gains against all major currencies. Equity markets moved steadily higher over the course of the period.
The Fund outperformed its benchmark over the review period. The portfolio benefited mainly from our duration and currency positions. The return (in USD) for the Fund was 5.33% compared to the return of the benchmark (Citigroup World Government ex-U.S. Bond Index USD hedged) of 3.44%. During the year we have maintained the same broad strategic themes: overweight the markets where monetary policy has been tightened substantially (U.K., Australia and Poland) and underweight the markets where monetary policy is relatively easy (euro zone, Japan). During the second quarter 2005 we tactically overweighed the euro zone market as it became apparent that the US recovery was not yet feeding through the European continent. All of these positions worked well throughout the year. Tactical adjustments to position sizes have been supportive of performance. Sector decisions boosted performance, in particular our allocation to euro zone inflation-linked bonds in the third quarter 2005 as break-even inflation rates increased in the second part of 2005 and the beginning of 2006. Our currency strategy of a modest underweight in the euro against overweight positions in U.S. dollar, Australian dollar, Polish zloty, and Japanese yen, contributed positively to performance.

Annual Report to Shareholders
Expense Example
Western Asset Non-U.S. Opportunity Bond Portfolio
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2005, and held through March 31, 2006.
Actual Expenses
The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for the Fund. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% 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 this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/05 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/06 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/05 to 3/31/06 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,006.00 | | $ | 2.75 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.19 | | | 2.77 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.55% multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (182), and divided by 365. |

Annual Report to Shareholders
Performance Information
Western Asset Non-U.S. Opportunity Bond Portfolio
The graph compares the Fund’s total returns against that of an appropriate broad-based securities market index. The line illustrates the cumulative total return of an initial $1,000,000 investment for the periods indicated. The line for the Fund represents the total return after deducting all Fund investment management and other administrative expenses and the transaction costs of buying and selling securities. The line representing the securities market index does not include any transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities in the index or other investment management or administrative expenses.
Total return measures investment performance in terms of appreciation or depreciation in a Fund’s net asset value per share, plus dividends and any capital gain distributions. It assumes that dividends and distributions were reinvested at the time they were paid. Returns (and the graph and table found below) do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Average annual returns tend to smooth out variations in a fund’s return, so that they differ from actual year-to-year results.
Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit and inflation risk. Non U.S. investments are subject to currency fluctuations, social, economic and political risk.

1. Significant Accounting Policies:
Western Asset Funds, Inc. (“Corporation”), consisting of Western Asset Limited Duration Bond Portfolio (“Limited Duration”), Western Asset Intermediate Bond Portfolio (“Intermediate”), Western Asset Intermediate Plus Bond Portfolio (“Intermediate Plus”), Western Asset Core Bond Portfolio (“Core”), Western Asset Core Plus Bond Portfolio (“Core Plus”), Western Asset Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Portfolio (“Inflation Indexed”), Western Asset High Yield Portfolio (“High Yield”), and Western Asset Non-U.S. Opportunity Bond Portfolio (“Non-U.S.”) (individually a “Fund,” collectively the “Funds”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company with the exception of Non-U.S., which is non-diversified.
Each Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Class and Financial Intermediary Class. Shares in the Financial Intermediary Class bear a distribution fee. The Financial Intermediary Class shares of Limited Duration, Intermediate, Intermediate Plus, Inflation Indexed, High Yield, and Non-U.S. have not commenced operations. The income and expenses of each of the Funds are allocated proportionately to the two classes of shares based on daily net assets, except for Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, which are charged only on the Financial Intermediary Class shares, and transfer agent and shareholder servicing expenses, which are determined separately for each class.
Preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements:
Security Valuation
Securities owned by the Funds for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by and under the general oversight of the Board of Directors. In determining fair value, all relevant qualitative and quantitative factors available are considered. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market of the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
With respect to Intermediate Plus, Core Plus, Inflation Indexed, High Yield and Non-U.S., where a security is traded on more than one market, which may include foreign markets, the securities are generally valued on the market considered by the Funds’ adviser to be the primary market. The Funds will value their foreign securities in U.S. dollars on the basis of the then-prevailing exchange rates.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on an identified cost basis for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.
For the year ended March 31, 2006, investment transactions (excluding short-term investments) were:

Annual Report to Shareholders
Forward Commitments
The Funds may enter into commitments to purchase securities on a “forward commitment” basis, including purchases on a “when-issued” basis or a “to be announced” basis. When such transactions are negotiated, certain terms may be fixed at the time the commitment is made, but delivery and payment for the securities takes place at a later date. During the period between a commitment and settlement, no payment is made by the purchaser for the securities purchased and, thus, no interest accrues to the purchaser from the transaction. In a “to be announced” transaction, a Fund commits to purchase securities for which all specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the exact face amount in forward commitment mortgage backed securities transactions. Depending on market conditions, a Fund’s forward commitment purchases could cause its net asset value to be more volatile.
A Fund may sell the securities subject to a forward commitment purchase, which may result in a gain or loss. When a Fund purchases securities on a forward commitment basis, it assumes the risks of ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation, at the time of purchase, not at the time of receipt. Purchases of forward commitment securities also involve a risk of loss if the seller fails to deliver after the value of the securities has risen.
Each Fund may also enter into a forward commitment to sell securities it owns and will generally do so only with the intention of actually delivering the securities. In a forward sale, a Fund does not participate in gains or losses on the security occurring after the commitment date. Forward commitments to sell securities also involve a risk of loss if the seller fails to take delivery after the value of the securities has declined.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities initially expressed in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates determined prior to the close of trading on the Exchange, usually at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing market rates on the dates of such transactions. The effects of changes in non-U.S. currency exchange rates on investment securities and other assets and liabilities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions.
Repurchase Agreements
The Funds may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, a fund takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and a fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining the yield during a fund’s holding period. This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market fluctuations during the fund’s holding period. The value of the collateral is at all times at least equal to the total amount of the repurchase obligation, including interest. In the event of counterparty default, a fund has the right to use the collateral to satisfy the terms of the repurchase agreement. However, there could be potential loss to the fund in the event the fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the collateral securities during the period in which the fund seeks to assert its rights. The Funds’ investment advisers review the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the Funds enter into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.
Options, Futures and Swap Agreements
The current market value of a traded option is the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the mean between the closing bid and asked price. Futures contracts are valued daily at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Futures contracts are marked-to-market on a daily basis. As a contract’s value fluctuates, payments known as variation margin are made or received by a Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. The daily changes in contract value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses, and the Fund recognizes a gain or loss when the contract is closed. Swap agreements are priced daily based upon quotations from brokers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
Investment Income and Distributions to Shareholders
Investment income and distributions to shareholders are allocated at the class level and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for each Fund except High Yield and Non-U.S., which
163
Annual Report to Shareholders
Notes to Financial Statements—Continued
declare and pay dividends quarterly. Net capital gain distributions, which are calculated at the Fund level, are declared and paid annually in May. An additional distribution may be made in November to the extent necessary in order to comply with federal excise tax requirements. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under federal income tax regulations. Interest income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Bond discounts and premiums are amortized and included in interest income for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.
Compensating Balance Credits
The Funds have an arrangement with their custodian bank, whereby a portion of the custodian’s fee is paid indirectly by credits earned on the Funds’ cash on deposit with the bank. This deposit arrangement is an alternative to purchasing overnight investments.
Other
In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent upon claims that may be made against the Fund in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss from such claims in considered remote.
2. Federal Income Taxes:
No provision for federal income or excise taxes is required since each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute substantially all of its taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Because federal income tax regulations differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, income and capital gain distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
Distributions during the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, were characterized as follows for tax purposes:

3. Financial Instruments:
Forward Currency Exchange Contracts
As part of their investment programs, the Funds may utilize forward currency exchange contracts. The nature and risks of these financial instruments and the reasons for using them are set forth more fully in the Corporation’s prospectus and statement of additional information.
165
Annual Report to Shareholders
Notes to Financial Statements—Continued
Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily using forward foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing service. The change in a contract’s market value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed or delivery is taken, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Funds’ securities, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. These forward foreign currency exchange contracts involve market risk in excess of amounts reflected in the financial statements. Although forward foreign currency exchange contracts used for hedging purposes limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Funds could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts.
At March 31, 2006, open forward foreign currency exchange contracts were as follows:

Options and Futures
As part of their investment programs, the Funds may utilize options and futures. Options may be written (sold) or purchased by the Funds. When a Fund purchases a put or call option, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and its value is marked-to-market daily. When a Fund writes a put or call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and its value is marked-to-market daily.
When options, whether written or purchased, expire, are exercised or are closed (by entering into a closing purchase or sale transaction), the Fund realizes a gain or loss as described in the chart below:
| | |
Purchased option: | | Impact on the Fund: |
The option expires | | Realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. |
The option is closed through a closing sale transaction | | Realize a gain or loss depending on whether the proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. |
The Fund exercises a call option | | The cost of the security purchased through the exercise of the option will be increased by the premium originally paid to purchase the call option. |
The Fund exercises a put option | | Realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security. The proceeds of that sale will be reduced by the premium originally paid to purchase the put option. |

Annual Report to Shareholders
Notes to Financial Statements—Continued
| | |
Written option: | | Impact on the Fund: |
The option expires | | Realize a gain equal to the amount of the premium received. |
The option is closed through a closing purchase transaction | | Realize a gain or loss without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security and eliminate the option liability. The Fund will realize a loss in this transaction if the cost of the closing purchase exceeds the premium received when the option was written. |
A written call option is exercised by the option purchaser | | Realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security. The proceeds of that sale will be increased by the premium originally received when the option was written. |
A written put option is exercised by the option purchaser | | The amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security that the Fund purchased when the option was exercised. |
The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid. Options written by a Fund involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the option value reflected in the statement of assets and liabilities. The risk in writing a covered call option is that a Fund may forgo the opportunity of profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that a Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised. In addition, there is the risk a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market or, for over-the-counter options, because of the counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to perform. The nature and risks of these financial instruments and the reasons for using them are set forth more fully in the Corporation’s prospectus and statement of additional information.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker cash or cash equivalents in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. For Non-U.S. and foreign denominated futures held in Intermediate Plus, Core Plus and Inflation Indexed, payment is not sent daily, but is recorded as a net payable or receivable by the Fund to or from the futures broker, which holds cash collateral from the Fund. The daily changes in contract value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses, and each Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed. Futures contracts are valued daily at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
The Funds enter into futures contracts for various reasons, including in connection with their interest rate management strategy. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the amounts reflected in the financial statements. The change in value of the futures contracts primarily corresponds with the value of the underlying instruments, which may not correlate with changes in interest rates, if applicable. In addition, there is a risk that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market. The nature and risks of these financial instruments and other reasons for using them are set forth more fully in the Corporation’s prospectus and statement of additional information.
The open futures positions and related appreciation or depreciation at March 31, 2006, are listed at the end of each Fund’s portfolio of investments.

Swap Agreements
The Funds may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing their exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk.
Total return swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the index exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, the Funds will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent it is less, the Funds will make a payment to the counterparty. Periodic payments received or made by the Funds are recorded in the accompanying statements of operations as realized gains or losses, respectively.
Credit default swaps (denoted in the table on the following pages by a superscript 1) involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying debt instrument in the event of a defined credit event (such as payment default or bankruptcy). Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a “guarantor,” receiving a periodic payment that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return, the party agrees to purchase the notional amount of the underlying instrument, at par, if a credit event occurs during the term of the swap. The Funds may enter into credit default swaps in which a Fund or its counterparty act as guarantors. By acting as the guarantor of a swap, a Fund assumes the market and credit risk of the underlying instrument, including liquidity and loss of value. Interest rate swap contracts (denoted in the table on the following pages by a superscript 2) involve the exchange of commitments to pay and receive interest based on a notional principal amount.
Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation/(depreciation). Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreement. Periodic payments and premiums received or made by a Fund are recorded in the accompanying statements of operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Collateral, in the form of restricted cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the Funds’ custodian in compliance with swap contracts. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the statements of assets and liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts’ terms, and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements.

Western Asset Management Company Limited (“WAML”) is the investment adviser to Non-U.S. and shares advisory responsibilities with Western Asset for Intermediate Plus, Core Plus and Inflation Indexed. Pursuant to their respective agreements, LMFA provides the Funds with management and administrative services for which each Fund pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at annual rates of each Fund’s average daily net assets. LMFA, Western Asset and WAML have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and reimburse the Funds to the extent each Fund’s expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage and extraordinary expenses) exceed during any month certain annual rates of each Fund’s average daily net assets. Western Asset and WAML have also agreed to waive their advisory fees (which are paid by LMFA, and not the Funds) in corresponding amounts. Any amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by a Fund to LMFA, Western Asset and WAML, to the extent that from time to time during the next three fiscal years the repayment will not

Annual Report to Shareholders
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of Western Asset Funds, Inc. and Shareholders of Western Asset Limited Duration Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Intermediate Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Intermediate Plus Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Core Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Core Plus Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Portfolio, Western Asset High Yield Portfolio, and Western Asset Non-U.S. Opportunity Bond Portfolio:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios 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 Western Asset Limited Duration Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Intermediate Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Intermediate Plus Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Core Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Core Plus Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Portfolio, Western Asset High Yield Portfolio, and Western Asset Non-U.S. Opportunity Bond Portfolio (eight Portfolios comprising Western Asset Funds, Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at March 31, 2006, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the fiscal 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 Funds’ 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 March 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report to Shareholders
Board Consideration of the Management and Advisory Agreements
The Executive and Contracts Committee of the Board of Directors considered the Investment Management Agreements between the Corporation and LMFA, the Investment Advisory Agreements between LMFA and Western Asset and the Investment Advisory Agreements between LMFA and WAML (collectively, the “Agreements”) with respect to each Portfolio at meetings held on September 13, 2005, October 24, 2005 and November 8, 2005. At a subsequent meeting held on November 8, 2005, the Executive and Contracts Committee reported to the full Board of Directors their considerations with respect to the Agreements, and the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, considered and approved renewal of the Agreements.
In arriving at their decision to renew the Agreements, the Directors met with representatives of Western Asset and WAML (together, the “Advisers”), including relevant investment advisory personnel as well as representatives of LMFA; reviewed a variety of information prepared by LMFA and the Advisers and materials provided by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) and counsel to the Independent Directors; and reviewed performance and expense information for peer groups of comparable funds selected and prepared by Lipper, and certain other comparable products available from Western Asset. These reviews were in addition to information obtained by the Directors at their regular quarterly meetings with respect to the Portfolios’ performance and other relevant matters, and related discussions with the Advisers’ personnel.
As part of their review, the Directors examined the Advisers’ ability to provide high quality investment management services to the Portfolios. The Directors considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of each Adviser; the experience of its key advisory personnel responsible for management of the Portfolios; the ability of the Advisers to attract and retain capable research and advisory personnel; the capability and integrity of the Advisers’ senior management and staff; and the level of skill required to manage each Portfolio. In addition, the Directors reviewed the quality of LMFA and Advisers’ services with respect to regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Portfolios; the pending acquisition of Citigroup Asset Management by Legg Mason, Inc., the parent company of the Advisers and LMFA, and the impact such acquisition may have on the Advisers and LMFA; the nature and quality of certain administrative services LMFA is responsible for providing to the Portfolios; and conditions that might affect LMFA or an Adviser’s ability to provide high quality services to the Portfolios in the future under the Agreements, including LMFA and each Adviser’s business reputation, financial condition and operational stability. Based on the foregoing, the Directors concluded that the Advisers’ investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to the Portfolios given their respective investment objectives and policies, and that LMFA and each of the Advisers would be able to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.
In reviewing the quality of the services provided to the Portfolios, the Directors also reviewed comparisons of the performance of the Portfolios to the performance of certain comparable funds in their respective peer groups and to their respective investment benchmarks over one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods (as applicable). With respect to each of the Portfolios, the Directors discussed the factors involved in its performance relative to the performance of its investment benchmark and peer groups. In that connection, the Directors noted that the performance of the Portfolios over most of the periods was above the average of their respective peer groups, except with respect to the Inflation Indexed Plus Bond, High Yield and Non-U.S. Opportunity Bond Portfolios, which did not outperform all of their respective peer groups for all periods reviewed. With respect to the Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Portfolio, management noted that the Portfolio’s investment guidelines had been amended in May to allow the Portfolio to utilize new investments, including credit default swaps, emerging market and high yield debt instruments, in an effort to enhance performance. With respect to the High Yield Portfolio, management noted that Western Asset had recently hired a new leader for the high yield investment team and that the Portfolio’s performance had improved following such hire. With respect to the Non-U.S. Opportunity Bond Portfolio, management stated that it was important to note that the Portfolio was used primarily by the Advisers’ separate account clients desiring non-U.S. exposure in an investment company vehicle, and that, as a result, the Portfolio was not managed against a benchmark.
The Directors also gave substantial consideration to the management fees and total expenses payable by the Portfolios. They reviewed information concerning management fees paid to investment advisers of similarly-managed funds, as well as fees paid by the Advisers’ other clients, including separate accounts managed by the Advisers. The Directors observed that the management fees paid by the each of the Portfolios other than the Core Bond, Core Plus Bond and High Yield Portfolios were below the average of their respective peer groups. With respect to the Core Bond, Core Plus Bond and High Yield Portfolios, the Directors observed that, like the other Portfolios, total expenses were below the average of their respective peer groups. The Directors noted that the management fees paid by the Portfolios were generally higher than the fees paid by clients of the Advisers for

Board Consideration of the Management and Advisory Agreements—Continued
accounts with similar investment strategies, but that the administrative and operational responsibilities for the Advisers with respect to the Portfolios were also relatively higher. In light of these differences, the Directors concluded that the differences in management fees were reasonable.
The Directors further evaluated the benefits of the advisory relationship to LMFA and the Advisers, including, among others, the profitability of the Portfolios to LMFA and the Advisers; the direct and indirect benefits that LMFA and each Adviser may receive from its relationship with the Portfolios, including any so-called “fallout benefits” to LMFA or the Advisers, such as reputational value derived from serving as investment manager or adviser; and the affiliations between LMFA, the Advisers and certain service providers for the Portfolios. In that connection, the Directors concluded that LMFA and each Adviser’s profitability was consistent with levels of profitability that had been determined by courts not to be “excessive.”
Finally, the Directors considered, in light of the profitability information provided by the Advisers, the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by the Advisers as the assets of the Portfolios grow. They further concluded that, where a Portfolio’s assets were currently at a level at which the Advisers potentially may realize economies of scale from any future growth in the Portfolio, fee breakpoints had been implemented to capture a portion of any economies of scale for the benefit of the Portfolio’s shareholders.
In their deliberations with respect to these matters, the Independent Directors were advised by their independent counsel, who are independent of LMFA and the Advisers within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Commission rules regarding the independence of counsel. The Independent Directors weighed the foregoing matters in light of the advice given to them by their independent counsel as to the law applicable to the review of investment advisory contracts. In arriving at a decision, the Directors, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single matter as all-important or controlling, and the foregoing summary does not detail all the matters considered. The Directors judged the terms and conditions of the Agreements, including the investment advisory fees, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.
Based upon their review, the Directors, including all of the Independent Directors, determined, in the exercise of their business judgment, that they were satisfied with the quality of investment advisory services being provided by each Adviser; that the fees to be paid to the Advisers and LMFA under the relevant Agreements were fair and reasonable, given the scope and quality of the services rendered by the Advisers and LMFA; and that approval of the Agreements was in the best interest of the Corporation and its shareholders.
