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. Performance figures for periods shorter than one year represent cumulative figures and are not annualized.
The gross expense ratios for the Institutional and Financial Intermediary Class were 1.15%, and 1.40% respectively. Gross expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share classes as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and do not reflect fee waivers or reimbursements. These expenses include management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees and other expenses.
The net expense ratios for the Institutional and Financial Intermediary Class were 0.80%, and 1.05%, respectively. Net expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share classes as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and reflect fee waivers and/or reimbursements. To the extent that the Fund’s daily net assets do not exceed $300,000,000 on a given day, the Manager is contractually obligated to limit Portfolio expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, deferred organizational expenses, brokerage and extraordinary expenses) to 0.80% with respect to the Institutional Class and 1.05% with respect to the Financial Intermediary Class. To the extent that the Portfolio’s daily net assets exceed $300,000,000 on a given day, the Manager is contractually obligated to limit Portfolio expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, deferred organizational expenses, brokerage and extraordinary expenses) to 1.10% with respect to the Institutional Class and 1.35% with respect to the Financial Intermediary Class. The Fund’s Board of Directors has currently limited payments of 12b-1 fees under the Financial Intermediary Distribution Plan to 0.25% of average net assets. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, the Board of Directors may authorize payment of up to 0.40% of average net assets without shareholder approval.
A | | The Fund’s Institutional Class inception date is July 6, 2006. The Financial Intermediary Class inception date is September 6, 2006. Since-inception index returns are for periods beginning June 30, 2006. |

Annual Report to Shareholders
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance—Continued
The Federal Reserve (Fed)D raised policy rates by 50 basis points (bps)E during the period before pausing after the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Bond yields fell, however, as the market priced in Fed easing by late 2007. The curve inverted out to 5-years but steepened over longer maturities. Gross domestic productF growth moderated over the course of the year and is now expanding a touch below trend. The moderation has been led by a correction in the housing sector, which finished the period with a large amount of excess capacity yet to be worked off. Nevertheless, the consumer held in well; consumer confidence was steady despite flat-to-falling housing values, buoyed by a tightening labor market. The unemployment rate fell to 4.4% from 4.7%, the lowest level in six years, and wage gains picked up. Rising unit labor costs did raise some eyebrows, but Fed officials continued to point toward record wide profit margins and their ability to limit pass-through to consumer prices. Core Personal Consumption ExpendituresG inflation rose to 2.4% from 2.0% year-over-year, leaving the Fed little room to cut rates in the near-term. Inflation expectations, according to spreads on Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) yields, bottomed out in the fourth quarter of 2006 and have risen slowly in the first quarter of 2007. Commodity prices were mixed, with energy prices down 19% while industrial metals’ prices rose 47%. The dollar lost 7.6% against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. The largest losses came against the pound, which was supported by a tightening Bank of England and robust economic growth. Credit spreads widened over the first six months of the period before contracting a touch on strong earnings and a stable economy, ending the period wider by roughly 4 bps. Mortgage spreads held steady, though volatility picked up a touch in the final quarter. High yield and emerging market debt performed well, with spreads on emerging market bonds setting new historic lows.
The impact of market conditions on the Portfolio’s performance was positive for the period from inception through March 31, 2007, with strategies producing positive results. Curve positioning was a net detractor as the Fed continued to raise rates more than we expected and rates inverted up to the 5-year part of the curve. The portfolio maintained a large position in mortgage-backed securities, which performed well as volatility remained contained. Bank loans were also strong performers and a modest allocation was beneficial. The credit sector held in well and an allocation to both investment grade and high yield contributed, though issue selection was particularly advantageous within the high yield sector. While dollar-denominated emerging market debt contributed to returns on the margin, the decision to take a modest exposure to local currency emerging market debt was beneficial as country fundamentals continued to improve and most currencies gained ground on the dollar. A small emphasis to TIPS also benefited as inflation concerns mounted in the second half of the year.
Western Asset Management Company
Investment Risks: Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit and inflation risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, reducing the value of a Fund’s share price. Foreign securities are subject to certain risks of overseas investing, including currency fluctuations and changes in political and economic conditions. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The Fund may invest in high-yield bonds, which are rated below investment grade and carry more risk than higher-rated securities. Mortgage-backed securities involve more risk, including prepayment and extension risks, than other investments in fixed income securities. The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on Fund performance.
D | | The Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) is charged with, among other things, conducting the nation’s monetary policy by influencing the monetary and credit conditions in the economy in pursuit of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates. |
F | | The sum of all goods and services produced within U.S. borders. It is calculated quarterly by the Commerce Department. |
G | | Funds spent on goods and services targeted for individual consumption. |

Expense Example
Western Asset Absolute Return Portfolio
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (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, 2006 and held through March 31, 2007.
Actual Expense
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 value 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 Examples 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 classes that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/2006 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/2007 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/06 to 3/31/07 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,035.30 | | $ | 4.52 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,020.49 | | | 4.48 |
Financial Intermediary Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,033.70 | | $ | 5.88 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,019.15 | | | 5.84 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid During the Period” are equal to the annualized expense ratios of 0.89% and 1.16% for the Institutional Class and Financial Intermediary Class, respectively, multiplied by the average values 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 Absolute Return Portfolio
The graphs compare the Fund’s total returns to that of two broad-based securities market indices. 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 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 graphs and tables 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.

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. Performance figures for periods shorter than one year represent cumulative figures and are not annualized.
The gross expense ratios for the Institutional and Financial Intermediary Class were 0.45%, and 0.70% respectively. Gross expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share classes as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and do not reflect fee waivers or reimbursements. These expenses include management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees and other expenses.
The net expense ratios for the Institutional and Financial Intermediary Class were 0.45%, and 0.70%, respectively. Net expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share classes as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and reflect contractual fee waivers and/or reimbursements. The Fund’s Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses until August 1, 2007 to limit total annual operating expenses to 0.50% for the Institutional Class and 0.75% for the Financial Intermediary Class of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to each share class. The Fund’s Board of Directors has currently limited payments of 12b-1 fees under the Financial Intermediary Distribution Plan to 0.25% of average net assets. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, the Board of Directors may authorize payment of up to 0.40% of average net assets without shareholder approval.
The Federal Reserve (Fed)C raised policy rates by 50 basis points (bps)D during the period before pausing after the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Bond yields fell, however, as the market priced in Fed easing by late 2007. The curve inverted out to 5-years but steepened over longer maturities. Gross domestic productE growth moderated over the course of the year and is now expanding a touch below trend. The moderation has been led by a correction in the housing sector, which

Annual Report to Shareholders
finished the period with a large amount of excess capacity yet to be worked off. Nevertheless, the consumer held in well; consumer confidence was steady despite flat-to-falling housing values, buoyed by a tightening labor market. The unemployment rate fell to 4.4% from 4.7%, the lowest level in six years, and wage gains picked up. Rising unit labor costs did raise some eyebrows, but Fed officials continued to point toward record wide profit margins and their ability to limit pass-through to consumer prices. Core Personal Consumption ExpendituresF inflation rose to 2.4% from 2.0% year-over-year, leaving the Fed little room to cut rates in the near-term. Inflation expectations, according to spreads on Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) yields, bottomed out in the fourth quarter of 2006 and have risen slowly in the first quarter of 2007. Commodity prices were mixed, with energy prices down 19% while industrial metals’ prices rose 47%. The dollar lost 7.6% against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. The largest losses came against the pound, which was supported by a tightening Bank of England and robust economic growth. Credit spreads widened over the first six months of the period before contracting a touch on strong earnings and a stable economy, ending the period wider by roughly 4 bps. Mortgage spreads held steady, though volatility picked up a touch in the final quarter. High yield and emerging market debt performed well, with spreads on emerging market bonds setting new historic lows.
The impact of market conditions on the Portfolio’s performance was positive for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2007, with strategies producing positive results. A tactically driven duration posture, with a bias toward a long position, contributed modestly to returns as interest rates oscillated during the period and ended down slightly. An overweight to the front end of the yield curve detracted as the curve inverted out to the 5-year point. Overweight exposure to the mortgage-backed sector was a positive, thanks to stable spreads and contained volatility. Underweight exposure to investment-grade credits was a modest negative as the sector outperformed, but an overweight to lower-quality credits added to returns since they outperformed. A moderate exposure to TIPS contributed to returns as breakeven spreads widened during the last six months of 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, distribution and 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, 2006 and held through March 31, 2007.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each class 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 value 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 Examples 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 classes that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/06 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/07 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/06 to 3/31/07 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,036.10 | | $ | 2.38 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.61 | | | 2.35 |
Financial Intermediary Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,034.70 | | $ | 3.64 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,021.35 | | | 3.62 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid During the Period” are equal to the annualized expense ratios of 0.47% and 0.72% for the Institutional Class and Financial Intermediary Class, respectively, multiplied by the average values 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 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 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 graphs and tables 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.

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. Performance figures for periods shorter than one year represent cumulative figures and are not annualized.
The gross expense ratios for the Institutional and Financial Intermediary Class were 0.45%, and 0.70% respectively. Gross expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share classes indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and do not reflect fee waivers or reimbursements. These expenses include management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees and other expenses.
The net expense ratios for the Institutional and Financial Intermediary Class were 0.45%, and 0.70%, respectively. Net expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share classes indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and reflect contractual fee waivers and/or reimbursements. The Fund’s Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses until August 1, 2007 to limit total annual operating expenses to 0.45% for the Institutional Class and 0.70% for the Financial Intermediary Class of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to each share class. The Fund’s Board of Directors has currently limited payments of 12b-1 fees under the Financial Intermediary Distribution Plan to 0.25% of average net assets. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, the Board of Directors may authorize payment of up to 0.40% of average net assets without shareholder approval.
The Federal Reserve (Fed)C raised policy rates by 50 basis points (bps)D during the period before pausing after the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Bond yields fell, however, as the market priced in Fed easing by late 2007. The curve inverted out to 5-years but steepened over longer maturities. Gross domestic productE growth moderated over the course of the year and is now expanding a touch below trend. The moderation has been led by a correction in the housing sector, which

Annual Report to Shareholders
finished the period with a large amount of excess capacity yet to be worked off. Nevertheless, the consumer held in well; consumer confidence was steady despite flat-to-falling housing values, buoyed by a tightening labor market. The unemployment rate fell to 4.4% from 4.7%, the lowest level in six years, and wage gains picked up. Rising unit labor costs did raise some eyebrows, but Fed officials continued to point toward record wide profit margins and their ability to limit pass-through to consumer prices. Core Personal Consumption ExpendituresF inflation rose to 2.4% from 2.0% year-over-year, leaving the Fed little room to cut rates in the near-term. Inflation expectations, according to spreads on Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) yields, bottomed out in the fourth quarter of 2006 and have risen slowly in the first quarter of 2007. Commodity prices were mixed, with energy prices down 19% while industrial metals’ prices rose 47%. The dollar lost 7.6% against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. The largest losses came against the pound, which was supported by a tightening Bank of England and robust economic growth. Credit spreads widened over the first six months of the period before contracting a touch on strong earnings and a stable economy, ending the period wider by roughly 4 bps. Mortgage spreads held steady, though volatility picked up a touch in the final quarter. High yield and emerging market debt performed well, with spreads on emerging market bonds setting new historic lows.
The impact of market conditions on the Portfolio’s performance was positive for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2007, with strategies producing positive results. A tactically-driven duration posture, with a bias toward a long position, contributed modestly to returns as interest rates oscillated during the period and ended down slightly. An overweight to the front end of the yield curve detracted as the curve inverted out to the 5-year point. Overweight exposure to the mortgage-backed sector was a positive, thanks to stable spreads and contained volatility. Underweight exposure to investment-grade credits was a modest negative as the sector outperformed, but an overweight to lower-quality credits added to returns since they outperformed. A moderate exposure to TIPS contributed to returns as breakeven spreads widened during the last six months of the period. Our emphasis on high-yield debt was strongly rewarded as spreads narrowed, in particular on GM and Ford issues. A modest exposure to emerging market debt added to returns as spreads tightened to historic lows. Nondollar bond exposure had mixed results as nondollar bond markets generally underperformed their domestic counterparts, but a decision to leave some currency exposure unhedged helped to recoup much of the losses.

Investment Risks: Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit and inflation risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, reducing the value of a Fund’s share price. Foreign securities are subject to certain risks of overseas investing, including currency fluctuations and changes in political and economic conditions. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.
F | | Funds spent on goods and services targeted for individual consumption. |

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, distribution (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, 2006, and held through March 31, 2007.
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 value 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 that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/06 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/07 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/06 to 3/31/07 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,034.00 | | $ | 2.23 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.74 | | | 2.22 |
Financial Intermediary Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,033.50 | | $ | 3.50 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,021.49 | | | 3.48 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid During the Period” are equal to the annualized expense ratios of 0.44% and 0.69% for the Institutional Class and Financial Intermediary Class, respectively, multiplied by the average values 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 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 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 graphs and tables 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. investment are subject to currency fluctuations, social, economical and political risk.

The average annual total returns for the Western Asset High Yield Portfolio for various periods ended March 31, 2007, are presented below:

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. Performance figures for periods shorter than one year represent cumulative figures and are not annualized.
The gross expense ratio for the Institutional Class was 0.62%. Gross expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share class as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and do not reflect fee waivers or reimbursements. These expenses include management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees and other expenses.
The net expense ratio for the Institutional Class was 0.62%. Net expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share class as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and reflect contractual fee waivers and/or reimbursements. The Fund’s Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses until August 1, 2007 to limit total annual operating expenses to 0.65% for the Institutional Class of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Federal Reserve (Fed)D raised policy rates by 50 basis points (bps)E during the period before pausing after the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Bond yields fell, however, as the market priced in Fed easing by late 2007. The curve inverted out to 5-years but steepened over longer maturities. Gross domestic productF growth moderated over the course of the year and is now expanding a touch below trend. The moderation has been led by a correction in the housing sector, which finished the period with a large amount of excess capacity yet to be worked off. Nevertheless, the consumer held in well; consumer confidence was steady despite flat-to-falling housing values, buoyed by a tightening labor market. The unemployment rate fell to 4.4% from 4.7%, the lowest level in six years, and wage gains picked up. Rising unit labor costs did raise some

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance—Continued
eyebrows, but Fed officials continued to point toward record wide profit margins and their ability to limit pass-through to consumer prices. Core Personal Consumption ExpendituresG inflation rose to 2.4% from 2.0% year-over-year, leaving the Fed little room to cut rates in the near-term. Inflation expectations, according to spreads on Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) yields, bottomed out in the fourth quarter of 2006 and have risen slowly in the first quarter of 2007. Commodity prices were mixed, with energy prices down 19% while industrial metals’ prices rose 47%. The dollar lost 7.6% against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. The largest losses came against the pound, which was supported by a tightening Bank of England and robust economic growth. Credit spreads widened over the first six months of the period before contracting a touch on strong earnings and a stable economy, ending the period wider by roughly 4 bps. Mortgage spreads held steady, though volatility picked up a touch in the final quarter. High yield and emerging market debt performed well, with spreads on emerging market bonds setting new historic lows.
For the 12-month period ending March 31, 2007, the Fund returned 12.14%, net of fees versus 10.97% for the 2% Issuer Constrained Lehman High Yield Index and 10.07% for its Lipper High Yield Peer Group. The option-adjusted spread of the index narrowed from +301 bps to +275 bps. Spread narrowing and the incremental carry associated with high yield resulted in the index generating 563 bps of excess spread versus duration neutral treasuries. The primary reasons for the Fund’s outperformance versus the index include: (1) issue selection; (2) sector allocation; and (3) an overweight to lower rated issues.
The Fund benefited from overweights to five of the top 10 Index performers and underweights to eight of the worst 10 Index performers. The Fund’s overweight to top performers included Charter Communications Corp., General Motors Corp. and AMC Entertainment, Inc., which returned 38.73%, 22.10% and 19.36%, respectively. The Fund’s top underweights included HCA Inc., TXU Corp. and Starwood, which returned 0.82%, 2.82% and 3.66%, respectively. The Fund’s overweight to a number of outperforming sectors, including Media Cable, Consumer Cyclical and Transportation, which returned 22.19%, 14.07% and 11.45%, respectively, helped relative performance. The Fund benefited from an overweight to CCC rated issues which returned 17.35% and an underweight to BB rated issues, which returned 9.71%.
Our view on the high yield asset class is that credit fundamentals in general remain supportive of historically tight valuations; however, below trend economic and corporate earnings growth will pressure spreads the balance of the year. With this in mind, in our view, returns for 2007 are likely to be driven by coupon accumulation rather than price appreciation. We expect spreads to widen in large part to marginal deterioration in credit statistics and robust new issuance. However, we feel that any spread widening from current levels will be limited as 2.00%-2.50% GDP growth (Western’s forecast) should mute any deterioration.
Western Asset Management Company
Investment Risks: Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit and inflation risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, reducing the value of a Fund’s share price. Foreign securities are subject to certain risks of overseas investing, including currency fluctuations and changes in political and economic conditions. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The Fund invests in high-yield bonds, which are rated below investment grade and carry more risk than higher-rated securities. The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on Fund performance.

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, 2006, and held through March 31, 2007.
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 value 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 10/1/06 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/07 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/06 to 3/31/07 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,076.50 | | $ | 3.14 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,021.91 | | | 3.05 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid During the Period” are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.61% 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 High Yield Portfolio
The graph compares the Fund’s total returns to that of an appropriate broad-based securities market index. 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 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.

The average annual total returns for the Western Asset Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Portfolio for various periods ended March 31, 2007, are presented below:

| | Three Months Ended 3/31/2007 | | One Year | | Average Annual Total Returns |

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. Performance figures for periods shorter than one year represent cumulative figures and are not annualized.
The gross expense ratio for the Institutional Class was 0.27%. Gross expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share classes indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and do not reflect fee waivers or reimbursements. These expenses include management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees and other expenses.
The net expense ratio for the Institutional Class was 0.25%. Net expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share classes indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and reflect contractual fee waivers and/or reimbursements. The Fund’s Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses until August 1, 2007 to limit total annual operating expenses to 0.25% for the Institutional Class of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Federal Reserve (Fed)C raised policy rates by 50 basis points (bps)D during the period before pausing after the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Bond yields fell, however, as the market priced in Fed easing by late 2007. The curve inverted out to 5-years but steepened over longer maturities. Gross domestic productE growth moderated over the course of the year and is now expanding a touch below trend. The moderation has been led by a correction in the housing sector, which finished the period with a large amount of excess capacity yet to be worked off. Nevertheless, the consumer held in well; consumer confidence was steady despite flat-to-falling housing values, buoyed by a tightening labor market. The unemployment rate fell to 4.4% from 4.7%, the lowest level in six years, and wage gains picked up. Rising unit labor costs did raise some eyebrows, but Fed officials continued to point toward record wide profit margins and their ability to limit pass-through to

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance—Continued
consumer prices. Core Personal Consumption ExpendituresF inflation rose to 2.4% from 2.0% year-over-year, leaving the Fed little room to cut rates in the near-term. Inflation expectations, according to spreads on Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) yields, bottomed out in the fourth quarter of 2006 and have risen slowly in the first quarter of 2007. Commodity prices were mixed, with energy prices down 19% while industrial metals’ prices rose 47%. The dollar lost 7.6% against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. The largest losses came against the pound, which was supported by a tightening Bank of England and robust economic growth. Credit spreads widened over the first six months of the period before contracting a touch on strong earnings and a stable economy, ending the period wider by roughly 4 bps. Mortgage spreads held steady, though volatility picked up a touch in the final quarter. High yield and emerging market debt performed well, with spreads on emerging market bonds setting new historic lows.
The impact of market conditions on the Portfolio’s performance was positive for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2007, with strategies generally producing positive results. TIPS performed well over the final six months of the period as inflation concerns rose and inflation measures failed to moderate as expected. The real yield curve steepened as inflation concerns rose most in the near-term. A moderate diversification into mortgage-backed securities and the credit sector benefited as volatility remained contained and spreads held in well. Issue selection was advantageous as our decision to emphasize the auto sector performed particularly well. An allocation to emerging market debt also contributed to performance as spreads continued to compress on improving fundamentals and strong technicals.

Investment Risks: Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit and inflation risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, reducing the value of a Fund’s share price. The Fund is subject to the additional risks associated with Inflation-Indexed Securities, including liquidity risk, prepayment risk, extension risk and deflation risk. Foreign securities are subject to certain risks of overseas investing, including currency fluctuations and changes in political and economic conditions. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The Fund may invest in high-yield bonds, which are rated below investment grade and carry more risk than higher-rated securities. Mortgage-backed securities involve more risk, including prepayment and extension risks, than other investments in fixed income securities. The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on Fund performance.

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, 2006, and held through March 31, 2007.
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 value 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 10/1/06 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/07 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/06 to 3/31/07 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,014.60 | | $ | 1.26 |
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 During the Period” 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 to 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 various periods ended March 31, 2007, are presented below:

| | Three Months Ended 3/31/2007 | | Average Annual Total Returns |

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. Performance figures for periods shorter than one year represent cumulative figures and are not annualized.
The gross expense ratio for the Institutional Class was 0.47%. Gross expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share classes indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and do not reflect fee waivers or reimbursements. These expenses include management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees and other expenses.
The net expense ratio for the Institutional Class was 0.45%. Net expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share class indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or reimbursements, which may be reduced or terminated at any time.
The Federal Reserve (Fed)C raised policy rates by 50 basis points (bps)D during the period before pausing after the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Bond yields fell, however, as the market priced in Fed easing by late 2007. The curve inverted out to 5-years but steepened over longer maturities. Gross domestic productE growth moderated over the course of the year and is now expanding a touch below trend. The moderation has been led by a correction in the housing sector, which finished the period with a large amount of excess capacity yet to be worked off. Nevertheless, the consumer held in well; consumer confidence was steady despite flat-to-falling housing values, buoyed by a tightening labor market. The unemployment rate fell to 4.4% from 4.7%, the lowest level in six years, and wage gains picked up. Rising unit labor costs did raise some eyebrows, but Fed officials continued to point toward record wide profit margins and their ability to limit pass-through to consumer prices. Core Personal Consumption ExpendituresF inflation rose to 2.4% from 2.0% year-over-year, leaving the Fed little room to cut rates in the near-term. Inflation expectations, according to spreads on Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) yields, bottomed out in the fourth quarter of 2006 and have risen slowly in the first quarter of 2007. Commodity prices were mixed, with energy prices down 19% while industrial metals’ prices rose 47%. The dollar lost 7.6% against a trade-weighted basket

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance—Continued
of currencies. The largest losses came against the pound, which was supported by a tightening Bank of England and robust economic growth. Credit spreads widened over the first six months of the period before contracting a touch on strong earnings and a stable economy, ending the period wider by roughly 4 bps. Mortgage spreads held steady, though volatility picked up a touch in the final quarter. High yield and emerging market debt performed well, with spreads on emerging market bonds setting new historic lows.
The impact of market conditions on the Portfolio’s performance was positive for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2007, with strategies producing positive results. A tactically driven duration posture was neutral over the period as rates oscillated within a trading range. An overweight to the front end of the yield curve detracted as the curve inverted out to the 5-year point. Overweight exposure to the mortgage-backed sector was a positive, thanks to stable spreads and contained volatility. A moderate exposure to TIPS contributed to returns as breakeven spreads widened during the last six months of the period. Our emphasis on high-yield debt was strongly rewarded as spreads narrowed, in particular on GM and Ford issues.

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, 2006, and held through March 31, 2007.
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 value 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.

Annual Report to Shareholders
Performance Information
Western Asset Intermediate Bond Portfolio
The graph compares the Fund’s total returns to 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.

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 Intermediate Plus Bond Portfolio
The average annual total returns for the Western Asset Intermediate Plus Bond Portfolio for various periods ended March 31, 2007, are presented below:
| | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended 3/31/2007 | | Average Annual Total Return |
| | | One Year | | Since InceptionA |
Western Asset Intermediate Plus Bond Portfolio | | | | | | |
Institutional Class | | +1.67% | | +6.98% | | +3.91% |
Lehman Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond IndexB | | +1.59% | | +6.14% | | +2.60% |
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. Performance figures for periods shorter than one year represent cumulative figures and are not annualized.
The gross expense ratio for the Institutional Class was 0.76%. Gross expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share classes in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and do not reflect fee waivers or reimbursements. These expenses include management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees and other expenses.
The net expense ratio for the Institutional Class was 0.45%. Net expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share class in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or reimbursements, which may be reduced or terminated at any time.
The Federal Reserve (Fed)C raised policy rates by 50 basis points (bps)D during the period before pausing after the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Bond yields fell, however, as the market priced in Fed easing by late 2007. The curve inverted out to 5-years but steepened over longer maturities. Gross domestic productE growth moderated over the course of the year and is now expanding a touch below trend. The moderation has been led by a correction in the housing sector, which finished the period with a large amount of excess capacity yet to be worked off. Nevertheless, the consumer held in well; consumer confidence was steady despite flat-to-falling housing values, buoyed by a tightening labor market. The unemployment rate fell to 4.4% from 4.7%, the lowest level in six years, and wage gains picked up. Rising unit labor costs did raise some eyebrows, but Fed officials continued to point toward record wide profit margins and their ability to limit pass-through to consumer prices. Core Personal Consumption ExpendituresF inflation rose to 2.4% from 2.0% year-over-year, leaving the Fed little room to cut rates in the near-term. Inflation expectations, according to spreads on Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) yields, bottomed out in the fourth quarter of 2006 and have risen slowly in the first quarter of 2007. Commodity prices were mixed, with energy prices down 19% while industrial metals’ prices rose 47%. The dollar lost 7.6% against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. The largest losses came against the pound, which was supported by a tightening Bank of England and robust

economic growth. Credit spreads widened over the first six months of the period before contracting a touch on strong earnings and a stable economy, ending the period wider by roughly 4 bps. Mortgage spreads held steady, though volatility picked up a touch in the final quarter. High yield and emerging market debt performed well, with spreads on emerging market bonds setting new historic lows.
The impact of market conditions on the Portfolio’s performance was positive for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2007, with strategies producing positive results. A tactically driven duration posture was neutral over the period as rates oscillated within a trading range. An overweight to the front end of the yield curve detracted as the curve inverted out to the 5-year point. Overweight exposure to the mortgage-backed sector was a positive, thanks to stable spreads and contained volatility. A moderate exposure to TIPS contributed to returns as breakeven spreads widened during the last six months of the period. Our emphasis on high-yield debt was strongly rewarded as spreads narrowed, in particular on GM and Ford issues. A moderate allocation to emerging market debt also contributed as spreads compressed to historically low levels. A diversification into nondollar debt was neutral but the decision to leave some currency exposure unhedged benefited as the dollar lost ground against most major currencies.
Western Asset Management Company
Investment Risks: Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit and inflation risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, reducing the value of a Fund’s share price. Foreign securities are subject to certain risks of overseas investing, including currency fluctuations and changes in political and economic conditions. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.

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, 2006, and held through March 31, 2007.
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 value 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 10/1/06 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/07 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/06 to 3/31/07 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,030.20 | | $ | 2.28 |
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 During the Period” 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. |

Performance Information
Western Asset Intermediate Plus Bond Portfolio
The graph compares the Fund’s total returns to 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. Non-U.S. investment are subject to currency fluctuations, social, economic and political 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 Limited Duration Bond Portfolio
The average annual total returns for the Western Asset Limited Duration Bond Portfolio for various periods ended March 31, 2007, are presented below:

| | Three Months Ended 3/31/2007 | | Average Annual Total Returns |

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. Performance figures for periods shorter than one year represent cumulative figures and are not annualized.
The gross expense ratio for the Institutional Class was 0.68%. Gross expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share class as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and do not reflect fee waivers or reimbursements. These expenses include management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees and other expenses.
The net expense ratio for the Institutional Class was 0.40%. Net expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share class as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or reimbursements, which may be reduced or terminated at any time.
The Federal Reserve (Fed)C raised policy rates by 50 basis points (bps)D during the period before pausing after the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Bond yields fell, however, as the market priced in Fed easing by late 2007. The curve inverted out to 5-years but steepened over longer maturities. Gross domestic productE growth moderated over the course of the year and is now expanding a touch below trend. The moderation has been led by a correction in the housing sector, which finished the period with a large amount of excess capacity yet to be worked off. Nevertheless, the consumer held in well; consumer confidence was steady despite flat-to-falling housing values, buoyed by a tightening labor market. The unemployment rate fell to 4.4% from 4.7%, the lowest level in six years, and wage gains picked up. Rising unit labor costs did raise some eyebrows, but Fed officials continued to point toward record wide profit margins and their ability to limit pass-through to consumer prices. Core Personal Consumption ExpendituresF inflation rose to 2.4% from 2.0% year-over-year, leaving the Fed little room to cut rates in the near-term. Inflation expectations, according to spreads on Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) yields, bottomed out in the fourth quarter of 2006 and have risen slowly in the first quarter of 2007. Commodity prices were mixed, with energy prices down 19% while industrial metals’ prices rose 47%. The dollar lost 7.6% against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. The largest losses came against the pound, which was supported by a tightening Bank of England and robust

economic growth. Credit spreads widened over the first six months of the period before contracting a touch on strong earnings and a stable economy, ending the period wider by roughly 4 bps. Mortgage spreads held steady, though volatility picked up a touch in the final quarter. High yield and emerging market debt performed well, with spreads on emerging market bonds setting new historic lows.
The impact of market conditions on the Portfolio’s performance was positive for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2007, with strategies producing positive results. A tactically-driven duration posture was neutral over the period as rates oscillated within a trading range. An overweight to the front end of the yield curve detracted as the curve inverted out to the 5-year point. A large overweight to the mortgage-backed sector was a positive, thanks to stable spreads and contained volatility. A moderate exposure to TIPS contributed to returns as breakeven spreads widened during the last six months of the period. Our emphasis on high-yield debt was strongly rewarded as spreads narrowed, in particular on GM and Ford issues. An overweight to investment-grade credit was less advantageous but still contributed to returns.

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, 2006 and held through March 31, 2007.
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 value 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 10/1/06 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/07 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/06 to 3/31/07 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,028.30 | | $ | 2.02 |
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 During the Period” 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 to 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.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Western Asset Non-U.S. Opportunity Bond Portfolio
The average annual total returns for the Western Asset Non-U.S. Opportunity Bond Portfolio for various periods ended March 31, 2007, are presented below, along with the total returns of its current and former benchmark:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended 3/31/2007 | | One Year | | Average Annual Total Returns |
| | | | Three Years | | Five Years | | Since InceptionA |
Western Asset Non-U.S. Opportunity Bond Portfolio Institutional Class | | +0.52% | | +3.89% | | +5.56% | | +8.99% | | +7.19% |
Citigroup World Government ex-U.S. Bond Index (Hedged)B | | +0.92% | | +5.02% | | +4.39% | | +4.80% | | +5.42% |
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. Performance figures for periods shorter than one year represent cumulative figures and are not annualized.
The gross expense ratio for the Institutional Class was 0.74%. Gross expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share class as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and do not reflect fee waivers or reimbursements. These expenses include management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees and other expenses.
The net expense ratio for the Institutional Class was 0.55%. Net expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share class as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2006 and reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or reimbursements, which may be reduced or terminated at any time.
The Federal Reserve (Fed)C raised policy rates by 50 basis points (bps)D during the period before pausing after the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Bond yields fell, however, as the market priced in Fed easing by late 2007. The curve inverted out to 5-years but steepened over longer maturities. Gross domestic productE growth moderated over the course of the year and is now expanding a touch below trend. The moderation has been led by a correction in the housing sector, which finished the period with a large amount of excess capacity yet to be worked off. Nevertheless, the consumer held in well; consumer confidence was steady despite flat-to-falling housing values, buoyed by a tightening labor market. The unemployment rate fell to 4.4% from 4.7%, the lowest level in six years, and wage gains picked up. Rising unit labor costs did raise some eyebrows, but Fed officials continued to point toward record wide profit margins and their ability to limit pass-through to consumer prices. Core Personal Consumption ExpendituresF inflation rose to 2.4% from 2.0% year-over-year, leaving the Fed little room to cut rates in the near-term. Inflation expectations, according to spreads on Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS)
A | | The Fund’s Institutional Class inception date is July 15, 1998. Since-inception index returns are for periods beginning July 31, 1998. Although it is not possible to invest directly in an index, it is possible to purchase investment vehicles designed to track the performance of certain indexes. |
B | | A market value-weighted index that tracks the daily price, coupon, pay-downs, and total return performance of fixed rate, publicly placed, dollar-denominated, and nonconvertible investment grade debt issues with at least $100 million par amount outstanding and with at least one year to final maturity. |
C | | The Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) is charged with, among other things, conducting the nation’s monetary policy by influencing the monetary and credit conditions in the economy in pursuit of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates. |
E | | The sum of all goods and services produced within U.S. borders. It is calculated quarterly by the Commerce Department. |

Annual Report to Shareholders
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance—Continued
yields, bottomed out in the fourth quarter of 2006 and have risen slowly in the first quarter of 2007. Commodity prices were mixed, with energy prices down 19% while industrial metals’ prices rose 47%. The dollar lost 7.6% against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. The largest losses came against the pound, which was supported by a tightening Bank of England and robust economic growth. Credit spreads widened over the first six months of the period before contracting a touch on strong earnings and a stable economy, ending the period wider by roughly 4 bps. Mortgage spreads held steady, though volatility picked up a touch in the final quarter. High yield and emerging market debt performed well, with spreads on emerging market bonds setting new historic lows.
The Fund’s performance fell short of the benchmark over the last 12 months. The return (in USD) for the Fund was 3.89% net—this compares to the return of the benchmark (Citigroup World Government ex-U.S. USD hedged) of 5.02%. For the year our strategy has had a bias to be overweight bond markets outside of Japan (where we expected growth signals to pick up and monetary policy to be normalized going forward). We perceived real yields were attractive and the central banks were much more advanced in the tightening cycle in the U.K., Australia, Canada, Denmark, Poland and South Africa and thus retained an overweight exposure until November to these markets versus an underweight in Europe, where we felt further tightening was yet to be priced in. However, the overweight bias was switched in favor of the European market in November as we felt that the higher yield levels were now offering better value versus less compelling valuation levels and a more hawkish monetary policy backdrop in the Australian, Canadian and U.K. markets where we reduced exposure. The increase in yields over December and January on the back of concerns over still tighter European monetary policy took away gains made from our bond positioning earlier in the period. Over the period we retained a modest currency exposure, which was based on our views of positive relative growth expectations resulting in long euro and the yen positions, versus the pound sterling, U.S. and Canadian dollars. Only our long euro position versus the dollar contributed to returns while the other positions proved a drag.
Western Asset Management Company
Investment Risks: Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit and inflation risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, reducing the value of a Fund’s share price. Foreign securities are subject to certain risks of overseas investing, including currency fluctuations and changes in political and economic conditions. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Asset-Backed and mortgage-backed securities involve more risk, including prepayment and extension risks, than other investments in fixed income securities. The Fund is subject to the additional risks associated with Inflation-Indexed Securities, including liquidity risk, prepayment risk, extension risk and deflation risk. The Fund is not diversified, which means that it is permitted to invest a higher percentage of its assets in any one issuer than a diversified fund. This may magnify the Fund’s losses from events affecting a particular issuer. The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on Fund 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, 2006, and held through March 31, 2007.
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 value 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 10/1/06 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/07 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/06 to 3/31/07 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,011.40 | | $ | 2.76 |
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 During the Period” 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 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies:
Western Asset Funds, Inc. (“Corporation”), consisting of Western Asset Absolute Return Portfolio (“Absolute Return”), Western Asset Core Bond Portfolio (“Core”), Western Asset Core Plus Bond Portfolio (“Core Plus”), Western Asset High Yield Portfolio (“High Yield”), Western Asset Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Portfolio (“Inflation Indexed”), Western Asset Intermediate Bond Portfolio (“Intermediate”), Western Asset Intermediate Plus Bond Portfolio (“Intermediate Plus”), Western Asset Limited Duration Bond Portfolio (“Limited Duration”) 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 those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each Fund in the preparation of its 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, Non-U.S. and Absolute Return, 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 accounted for as of 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, 2007, security transactions (excluding short-term investments) were:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Purchases | | Proceeds From Sales |
| | U.S. Gov’t Securities | | Other | | U.S. Gov’t Securities | | Other |

Annual Report to Shareholders
Notes to Financial Statements—Continued
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 New York Stock 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 investment securities.
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. Each Fund’s investment adviser reviews 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 an exchange traded option is the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the price obtained by reference to broker-dealer quotations. 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 the contract’s value fluctuates, payments known as variation margin are made or received by the 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 generally 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
206
Annual Report to Shareholders
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 each Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. This deposit arrangement is an alternative to purchasing overnight investments.
Redemption-In-Kind
In consideration of the best interests of non-redeeming shareholders, the Corporation reserves the right to pay any redemption price in whole or in part by a distribution in-kind of readily marketable securities held by a Fund in lieu of cash. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities; the Fund recognizes a loss if cost exceeds value. Gains and losses realized on redemption-in-kind transactions are not recognized for tax purposes, and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain/(loss) to paid-in-capital. During the year ended March 31, 2007, Western Asset Intermediate Bond Portfolio realized $1,845 of net loss on $132,323 redemption-in-kind transactions.
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 is considered remote.
2. Federal Income Taxes:
It is the Funds’ policy to continue to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Funds intend to distribute substantially all of their income and net realized gains on investments, if any, to shareholders each year. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.
Reclassifications:
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. During the current year, the following reclassifications have been made:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |

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.
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 a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed or delivery is taken, the Fund records 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
210
Annual Report to Shareholders
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 Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts.
At March 31, 2007, open forward currency exchange contracts (expressed in the contractual currencies) were:

Loan Participations and Assignments
The Funds may invest in loans arranged through private negotiation between one or more financial institutions. The Funds’ investment in any such loan may be in the form of a participation in or an assignment of the loan. In connection with purchasing participations, the Funds generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the loan, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower and the Funds may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the participation.
The Funds will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling the participation, the Funds may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any set-off between the lender and the borrower.
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. |

Annual Report to Shareholders
Notes to Financial Statements—Continued
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 net assets. 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.

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, Inflation Indexed, and Absolute Return, 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, 2007 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, or for other purposes. The use of swaps involves risks that are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio transactions.
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 Fund may enter into credit default swaps in which the Fund or its counterparty act as guarantors. By acting as the guarantor of a swap, the 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.
Commodity swaps, (denoted in the table on the following pages by a superscript 3), are agreements to exchange cash flows at specified intervals to gain investment exposure to the relevant spread of commodity reference prices. Total return swaps, (denoted in the table on the following pages by a superscript 4), 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 Fund will make a payment to the counterparty. Periodic payments received or made by the Fund are recorded in the accompanying statements of operations as realized gains or losses, respectively.
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.
The following is a summary of open swap contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2007.

5. Transactions With Affiliates:
Each Fund has an investment management agreement with Legg Mason Fund Adviser, Inc. (“LMFA”). Western Asset Management Company (“Western Asset”) is the investment adviser to Limited Duration, Intermediate, Intermediate Plus, Core, Core Plus, Inflation Indexed, High Yield, and Absolute Return. 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, Inflation Indexed, and Absolute Return. 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 cause a Fund’s expenses to exceed the limit set forth by LMFA, Western Asset and WAML. The following chart shows annual rates of management fees, expense limits, management fees waived and potential fees which may be recaptured for each Fund.

7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation 48 (“FIN 48” or the “Interpretation”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement 109. FIN 48 supplements FASB statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and establishes financial reporting rules regarding recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure in its financial statements of tax positions that a fund has taken or expects to take on a tax return. Management has evaluated the impact of FIN 48 on the Fund and has determined that the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2006.
On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 157 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors Western Asset Funds, Inc. and Shareholders of Western Asset Absolute Return Portfolio, Western Asset Core Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Core Plus Bond Portfolio, Western Asset High Yield Portfolio, Western Asset Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Intermediate Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Intermediate Plus Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Limited Duration Bond Portfolio, and Western Asset Non-U.S. Opportunity Bond Portfolio:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules 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 Absolute Return Portfolio, Western Asset Core Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Core Plus Bond Portfolio, Western Asset High Yield Portfolio, Western Asset Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Intermediate Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Intermediate Plus Bond Portfolio, Western Asset Limited Duration Bond Portfolio, and Western Asset Non-U.S. Opportunity Bond Portfolio (nine of the Portfolios comprising Western Asset Funds, Inc., the “Funds”) at March 31, 2007, the results 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, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 (other than the Absolute Return Portfolio) at meetings held on September 19, 2006, October 12, 2006 and October 27, 2006. At a subsequent meeting held on November 14, 2006, 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 LMFA’s ability to provide high quality oversight and administrative and shareholder support services to the Portfolios, and Western Asset’s and WAML’s ability to provide high quality investment management services to the Portfolios. The Directors considered the experience of LMFA’s personnel in providing the types of services that LMFA is responsible for providing to the Portfolios; the ability of LMFA to attract and retain capable personnel; the capability and integrity of LMFA’s senior management and staff; and the level of skill required to provide such 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 the Advisers’ services with respect to regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of 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 considered 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 investment benchmarks and peer groups.
The Directors also gave substantial consideration to the management fees payable by the Portfolios to LMFA, the total expenses payable by the Portfolios and the fact that LMFA pays to the Advisers the entire management fee it receives from each Portfolio. They reviewed information concerning 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 to LMFA by the each of the Portfolios other than the Core Bond and Core Plus Bond Portfolios were below the average of the funds in their respective peer groups. With respect to the Core Bond and Core Plus Bond the Directors observed that, like the other Portfolios, total expenses were below the average of the funds in their respective peer groups. The Directors also noted that the management fees paid by the Portfolios were generally higher than the fees paid by other clients of the Advisers for 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 from those paid by the Advisers’ other clients were reasonable.

Board Consideration of the Management and Advisory Agreements—Continued
The Directors further evaluated the benefits of the advisory relationship to LMFA and the Advisers, including, among others, the profitability of the relationship 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 “fallout benefits”, 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.
