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 Classes were 1.09% and 1.40%, respectively. Gross expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share classes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2007 and do not reflect fee waivers or reimbursements. These expenses include management fees, 12b-1 distribution fees (if any) and other expenses.
The net expense ratios for the Institutional and Financial Intermediary Classes were 0.89%, and 1.35%, respectively. Net expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share classes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2007 and reflect contractual fee waivers and/or reimbursements. The Fund’s Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, deferred organizational expenses, brokerage and extraordinary expenses) until August 1, 2008 to limit total annual operating expenses to 1.10% with respect to the Institutional Class and 1.35% with respect to 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 Class’s Distribution Plan to 0.25% of average net assets. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan for Financial Intermediary Class Shares, the Board of Directors may authorize payment of up to 0.40% of average net assets without shareholder approval.

Annual Report to Shareholders
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance—Continued
A year ago, the Federal Reserve Board’s (Fed)D predominant concern was that strong growth and a high level of resource utilization would sustain inflationary pressures. The financial crisis that erupted a few months later has defined the fixed-income landscape ever since. The period ended with the Fed not only focused on averting recession but struggling to unclog credit markets. The Ted spread (Ted)E, a measure of systemic risk, rose five-fold during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2008, to peak near 220 basis points (bps)F in November, and had only moderated slightly by period-end. Growing expectations for easing over the first half of the period were finally validated by the Fed’s decision to cut the funds rate by a total of 300 bps, including a surprise 75 bps reduction at an unscheduled Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in January. Additionally, the Fed, along with a number of government housing agencies, announced new lending facilities targeted directly at strained credit conditions, with a specific focus on the mortgage market. The yield on the two-year Treasury note declined 303 bps, driving a powerful rally in the Treasury market. All other risky asset classes suffered as a severe flight-to-safety forced spreads sharply higher. Home prices declined and the drag from the homebuilding sector alone detracted more than 1% from gross domestic product growth. Still, the economy continued to expand modestly thanks to a robust trade sector and a stubborn consumer. The price of oil breached the $100 per barrel threshold despite slower growth concerns. The U.S. dollar lost substantial value against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. Equity markets came under serious pressure in the final four months and finished marginally lower.
The impact of market conditions on the Fund’s performance was negative for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2008, with strategies producing negative results. For this period, the Fund’s Institutional Class’s total return was +1.31%, which underperformed both of its benchmarks, the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index’s total return of +7.67% and the Merrill Lynch Constant Maturity 3-month LIBOR Index’s total return of +5.62%. The primary strategy was an emphasis on the mortgage-backed sector, which suffered in the wake of the financial crisis. We had diversified into a number of select non-agency issues, which were particularly impacted and further negatively impacted performance. Corporate bond spreads widened to their highest levels ever, and an allocation to investment grade and high yield corporate debt, as well as bank loans, also had a significant negative impact on performance. A modest allocation to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) and a curve-steepening strategy were two bright spots, though these hedges were not nearly enough to offset the worst environment for taking risk during the post-war era.

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 | | Federal Reserve Board (Fed) – is charged with, among other things, managing 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 | | Ted Spread (Ted) – The price difference between three-month futures contracts for U.S. Treasuries and three-month contracts for euros having identical expiration months. |
F | | 100 basis points (bps) = 1% |

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, 2007 and held through March 31, 2008.
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 if your shares were held for the entire 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 10/1/07 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/08 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/07 to 3/31/08 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 997.80 | | $ | 4.16 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,020.84 | | | 4.20 |
Financial Intermediary Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 996.30 | | $ | 5.15 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,019.84 | | | 5.22 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratios of 0.83% and 1.03% 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 (183), and divided by 366. |

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 each of 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 lines representing the securities market indexes do not include any transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities in the indexes 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. investments are subject to currency fluctuations, social, economical 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. 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 Classes were 0.47% and 0.72%, respectively. Gross expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share classes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2007 and do not reflect fee waivers or reimbursements. These expenses include management fees, 12b-1 distribution fees (if any) and other expenses.
The net expense ratios for the Institutional and Financial Intermediary Classes were 0.47% and 0.72%, respectively. Net expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share classes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2007 and reflect contractual fee waivers and/or reimbursements. The Fund’s Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, deferred organizational expenses, brokerage and extraordinary expenses) until August 1, 2008 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 Class’s Distribution Plan to 0.25% of average net assets. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan for Financial Intermediary Class shares, the Board of Directors may authorize payment of up to 0.40% of average net assets without shareholder approval.

Annual Report to Shareholders
A year ago, the Federal Reserve Board’s (Fed)C predominant concern was that strong growth and a high level of resource utilization would sustain inflationary pressures. The financial crisis that erupted a few months later has defined the fixed-income landscape ever since. The period ended with the Fed not only focused on averting recession but struggling to unclog credit markets. The Ted spread (Ted) D, a measure of systemic risk, rose five-fold during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2008, to peak near 220 basis points (bps)E in November, and had only moderated slightly by period-end. Growing expectations for easing over the first half of the period were finally validated by the Fed’s decision to cut the funds rate by a total of 300 bps, including a surprise 75 bps reduction at an unscheduled Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in January. Additionally, the Fed, along with a number of government housing agencies, announced new lending facilities targeted directly at strained credit conditions, with a specific focus on the mortgage market. The yield on the two-year Treasury note declined 303 bps, driving a powerful rally in the Treasury market. All other risky asset classes suffered as a severe flight-to-safety forced spreads sharply higher. Home prices declined and the drag from the homebuilding sector alone detracted more than 1% from gross domestic product growth. Still, the economy continued to expand modestly thanks to a robust trade sector and a stubborn consumer. The price of oil breached the $100 per barrel threshold despite slower growth concerns. The U.S. dollar lost substantial value against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. Equity markets came under serious pressure in the final four months and finished marginally lower.
The impact of market conditions on the Fund’s performance was negative for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2008, with strategies producing negative results. For this period, the Fund’s Institutional Class’s total return of -1.88% underperformed its benchmark, the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index, which returned +7.67%. Overweight exposure to the mortgage-backed sector detracted significantly from returns as spreads widened and volatility increased. We had diversified into a number of select non-agency issues, which were particularly impacted and further negatively impacted performance. An emphasis on lower-quality credits was also a large negative as spreads trended higher in the wake of the subprime lending crisis, deteriorating liquidity conditions and slowing economic growth. On the positive side, a tactically driven duration posture contributed modestly to returns as bond yields rallied over the last 12 months. A curve-steepening strategy had a positive impact on performance as the spread between the two- and 10-year yields widened. Modest Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) exposure had a positive impact following a commodity-driven rise in headline inflation.

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 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.
C | | Federal Reserve Board (Fed) – is charged with, among other things, managing 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. |
D | | Ted Spread (Ted) – The price difference between three-month futures contracts for U.S. Treasuries and three-month contracts for euros having identical expiration months. |
E | | 100 basis points (bps) = 1% |

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 (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, 2007 and held through March 31, 2008.
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 if your shares were held for the entire 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 10/1/07 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/08 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/07 to 3/31/08 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 977.30 | | $ | 2.18 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.79 | | | 2.23 |
Financial Intermediary Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 976.00 | | $ | 3.42 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,011.40 | | | 3.50 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense 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 (183), and divided by 366. |

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.
Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit and inflation risk. Non-U.S. investments are subject to currency fluctuations, social, economical and political risk.

Annual Report to Shareholders
A year ago, the Federal Reserve Board’s (Fed)C predominant concern was that strong growth and a high level of resource utilization would sustain inflationary pressures. The financial crisis that erupted a few months later has defined the fixed-income landscape ever since. The period ended with the Fed not only focused on averting recession but struggling to unclog credit markets. The Ted spread (TED) D, a measure of systemic risk, rose five-fold during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2008, to peak near 220 basis points (bps)E in November, and had only moderated slightly by period-end. Growing expectations for easing over the first half of the period were finally validated by the Fed’s decision to cut the funds rate by a total of 300 bps, including a surprise 75 bps reduction at an unscheduled Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in January. Additionally, the Fed, along with a number of government housing agencies, announced new lending facilities targeted directly at strained credit conditions, with a specific focus on the mortgage market. The yield on the two-year Treasury note declined 303 bps, driving a powerful rally in the Treasury market. All other risky asset classes suffered as a severe flight-to-safety forced spreads sharply higher. Home prices declined and the drag from the homebuilding sector alone detracted more than 1% from gross domestic product growth. Still, the economy continued to expand modestly thanks to a robust trade sector and a stubborn consumer. The price of oil breached the $100 per barrel threshold despite slower growth concerns. The U.S. dollar lost substantial value against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. Equity markets came under serious pressure in the final four months and finished marginally lower.
The impact of market conditions on the Fund’s performance was negative for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2008, with strategies producing negative results. The Fund’s Institutional Class’s total return of -0.72% underperformed the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index’s return of +7.67%. Overweight exposure to the mortgage-backed sector detracted significantly from returns as spreads widened and volatility increased. We had diversified into a number of select non-agency issues, which were particularly impacted and further negatively impacted performance. An emphasis on lower-quality credits was also a large negative as spreads trended higher in the wake of the subprime lending crisis, deteriorating liquidity conditions and slowing economic growth. A modest exposure to international bonds in other advanced economies had a negative impact as the flight-to-safety outside the U.S. has been minimal relative to U.S. Treasury markets. On the positive side, a tactically-driven duration posture contributed modestly to returns as bond yields rallied over the last 12 months. A curve-steepening strategy had a positive impact on performance as the spread between the two- and 10-year yields widened. Modest Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) exposure had a positive impact following a commodity-driven rise in headline inflation.

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 use derivatives, such as options and futures, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on Fund performance.
C | | Federal Reserve Board (Fed) – is charged with, among other things, managing 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. |
D | | Ted Spread (Ted) – The price difference between three-month futures contracts for U.S. Treasuries and three-month contracts for euros having identical expiration months. |
E | | 100 basis points (bps) = 1% |

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, 2007, and held through March 31, 2008.
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 if your shares were held for the 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.

Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.84 | | | 2.18 |
Financial Intermediary Class | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 985.20 | | $ | 3.38 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,021.59 | | | 3.45 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratios of 0.43% and 0.68% 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 (183), and divided by 366. |

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 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 expense ratio for the Institutional Class was 0.61% and represents the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share class for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2007. These expenses include management fees and other expenses. The Fund’s Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, deferred organizational expenses, brokerage and extraordinary expenses) until August 1, 2008 to limit total annual operating expenses of the Institutional Class to 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the Institutional Class.
A | | The Fund’s Institutional Class inception date is September 28, 2001. Since-inception index returns are for periods beginning September 30, 2001. 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, and total return performance of non-investment grade, fixed rate, publicly placed, dollar-denominated, and non-convertible debt registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The index limits the maximum exposure to any one issuer to 2%. |

Annual Report to Shareholders
A year ago, the Federal Reserve Board’s (Fed)D predominant concern was that strong growth and a high level of resource utilization would sustain inflationary pressures. The financial crisis that erupted a few months later has defined the fixed-income landscape ever since. The period ended with the Fed not only focused on averting recession but struggling to unclog credit markets. The Ted Spread (Ted) E, a measure of systemic risk, rose five-fold during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2008, to peak near 220 basis points (bps)F in November, and had only moderated slightly by period-end. Growing expectations for easing over the first half of the period were finally validated by the Fed’s decision to cut the funds rate by a total of 300 bps, including a surprise 75 bps reduction at an unscheduled Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in January. Additionally, the Fed, along with a number of government housing agencies, announced new lending facilities targeted directly at strained credit conditions, with a specific focus on the mortgage market. The yield on the two-year Treasury note declined 303 bps, driving a powerful rally in the Treasury market. All other risky asset classes suffered as a severe flight-to-safety forced spreads sharply higher. Home prices declined and the drag from the homebuilding sector alone detracted more than 1% from gross domestic product growth. Still, the economy continued to expand modestly thanks to a robust trade sector and a stubborn consumer. The price of oil breached the $100 per barrel threshold despite slower growth concerns. The U.S. dollar lost substantial value against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. Equity markets came under serious pressure in the final four months and finished marginally lower.
For the 12-month period ending March 31, 2008, the Portfolio underperformed its benchmarks returning -5.88% versus -3.48% for the Lehman High Yield Index, 2% Issuer Constrained (Index). Negative returns for the high yield asset class stand in stark contrast to U.S. Treasuries, which returned 12.21% for the same period. Underperformance relative to Treasuries resulted in significant spread widening. The option-adjusted spread (OAS)G for the Index increased to 768 basis points from 275 basis points at the beginning of the period.
The primary reason for the Portfolio’s underperformance is attributable to its overweight to lower rated high yield issues. In general, issues rated CCC and lower returned -10.48% versus -0.64% and -2.33% for BB and B rated issues, respectively. Our overweight position to lower quality was based on our view that the generous yields available more than offset the increased risk given the supportive fundamental backdrop. While earnings, liquidity and leverage statistics were very solid, the technicals overwhelmed in the broad market flight to quality trade. The fact that the default rate fell during the period is evidence that fundamentals remained positive. The Fund’s outflows of almost 15% also hurt performance.
Issue selection aided relative performance as seven of the Fund’s top 10 overweights outperformed index returns. These overweights included DAE Aviation, which returned 9.18% and Belden & Blake, which returned 6.82%. The Fund also maintained an underweight to one of the worst-performing issuers, Rescap, which returned -29.85%.
Subsector allocation aided relative performance. The Fund benefited from overweights to utilities and capital goods, which returned 4.73% and -1.52% as well as from underweights to communications and consumer cyclical, which returned -8.43% and -7.61%, respectively.

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.
D | | Federal Reserve Board (Fed) – is charged with, among other things, managing 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 | | Ted Spread (Ted) – The price difference between three-month futures contracts for U.S. Treasuries and three-month contracts for euros having identical expiration months. |
F | | 100 basis points (bps) =1% |
G | | OAS measures the yield spread that is not directly attributable to the security’s characteristics and is mainly used for fixed-income products. |

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, 2007, and held through March 31, 2008.
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 if your shares were held during the entire 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 10/1/07 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/08 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/07 to 3/31/08 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 944.50 | | $ | 2.83 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.09 | | | 2.94 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.58% multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (183), and divided by 366. |

The graph compares the Fund’s total returns to that of two appropriate broad-based securities market indexes. 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 indexes do not include any transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities in the indexes 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.
Growth of a $1,000,000 Investment—Institutional Class

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.

Annual Report to Shareholders
A year ago, the Federal Reserve Board’s (Fed)D predominant concern was that strong growth and a high level of resource utilization would sustain inflationary pressures. The financial crisis that erupted a few months later has defined the fixed-income landscape ever since. The period ended with the Fed not only focused on averting recession but struggling to unclog credit markets. The Ted spread (TED) E, a measure of systemic risk, rose five-fold during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2008, to peak near 220 basis points (bps)F in November, and had only moderated slightly by period-end. Growing expectations for easing over the first half of the period were finally validated by the Fed’s decision to cut the funds rate by a total of 300 bps, including a surprise 75 bps reduction at an unscheduled Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in January. Additionally, the Fed, along with a number of government housing agencies, announced new lending facilities targeted directly at strained credit conditions, with a specific focus on the mortgage market. The yield on the two-year Treasury note declined 303 bps, driving a powerful rally in the Treasury market. All other risky asset classes suffered as a severe flight-to-safety forced spreads sharply higher. Home prices declined and the drag from the homebuilding sector alone detracted more than 1% from gross domestic product growth. Still, the economy continued to expand modestly thanks to a robust trade sector and a stubborn consumer. The price of oil breached the $100 per barrel threshold despite slower growth concerns. The U.S. dollar lost substantial value against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. Equity markets came under serious pressure in the final four months and finished marginally lower.
The impact of market conditions on the Fund’s performance was positive for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2008. The Fund’s Institutional Class’s total return of +12.77% outperformed the Lehman U.S. Treasury Inflation Notes Index’s return of +12.21%. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) outperformed nearly every other asset class, driven by a major flight to safety in the wake of the financial turmoil. TIPS further benefited from soaring commodity prices and aggressive easing by the Federal Reserve. The Fund’s diversification away from TIPS and into mortgage-backed securities as well as the credit sector had a negative impact on returns. These sectors were severely impacted by rising financial tensions and were a significant drag on the Fund’s performance.

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.
D | | Federal Reserve Board (Fed) – is charged with, among other things, managing 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. |

Annual Report to Shareholders
Expense Example
Western Asset Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Portfolio
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees on Financial Intermediary Class shares, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2007, and held through March 31, 2008.
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 if your shares were held for the entire 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.

The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratios of 0.25% and 0.48% for the Institutional and Financial Intermediary Class, respectively, multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (183), and divided by 366 . |

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.

Western Asset Intermediate Bond Portfolio: | | | | | | | | | | |
Institutional Class | | +0.11% | | +3.77% | | +4.48% | | +5.88% | | +6.47% |
Lehman Brothers Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit IndexB | | +3.00% | | +8.88% | | +4.37% | | +5.91% | | +6.41% |
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 0.46%. Gross expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2007 and do not reflect fee waivers or reimbursements. These expenses include management fees and other expenses.
The net expense ratio for the Institutional Class was 0.45%. Net expenses are the Institutional Class’s total annual operating expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2007 and reflect contractual fee waivers and/or reimbursements. The Fund’s Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, deferred organizational expenses, brokerage and extraordinary expenses) until August 1, 2008 to limit total annual operating expenses of the Institutional Class to 0.45% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the Institutional Class.

Annual Report to Shareholders
A year ago, the Federal Reserve Board’s (Fed)C predominant concern was that strong growth and a high level of resource utilization would sustain inflationary pressures. The financial crisis that erupted a few months later has defined the fixed-income landscape ever since. The period ended with the Fed not only focused on averting recession but struggling to unclog credit markets. The Ted spread (TED)D, a measure of systemic risk, rose five-fold during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2008, to peak near 220 basis points (bps)E in November, and had only moderated slightly by period-end. Growing expectations for easing over the first half of the period were finally validated by the Fed’s decision to cut the funds rate by a total of 300 bps, including a surprise 75 bps reduction at an unscheduled Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in January. Additionally, the Fed, along with a number of government housing agencies, announced new lending facilities targeted directly at strained credit conditions, with a specific focus on the mortgage market. The yield on the two-year Treasury note declined 303 bps, driving a powerful rally in the Treasury market. All other risky asset classes suffered as a severe flight-to-safety forced spreads sharply higher. Home prices declined and the drag from the homebuilding sector alone detracted more than 1% from gross domestic product growth. Still, the economy continued to expand modestly thanks to a robust trade sector and a stubborn consumer. The price of oil breached the $100 per barrel threshold despite slower growth concerns. The U.S. dollar lost substantial value against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. Equity markets came under serious pressure in the final four months and finished marginally lower.
The impact of market conditions on the Fund’s performance was negative for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2008, with strategies producing negative results. The Fund’s Institutional Class had a total return of +3.77%, which underperformed the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index’s return of +8.88%. Overweight exposure to the mortgage-backed sector detracted significantly from returns as spreads widened and volatility increased. We had diversified into a number of select non-agency issues, which were particularly impacted and further negatively impacted performance. An emphasis on lower-quality credits and the financial sector was also a large negative as spreads trended higher in the wake of the subprime lending crisis, deteriorating liquidity conditions and slowing economic growth. On the positive side, a tactically-driven duration posture contributed modestly to returns as bond yields rallied over the last 12 months. A curve-steepening strategy had a positive impact on performance as the spread between the two- and 10-year yields widened. Modest Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) exposure had a positive impact following a commodity-driven rise in headline inflation.
Western Asset Management Company
April 21, 2008
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.
C | | Federal Reserve Board (Fed) – is charged with, among other things, managing 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. |
D | | Ted Spread (Ted) – The price difference between three-month futures contracts for U.S. Treasuries and three-month contracts for euros having identical expiration months. |
E | | 100 basis points (bps) = 1% |

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, 2007, and held through March 31, 2008.
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 if your shares were held for the entire 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.

Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |

Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.74 | | | 2.28 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.45% multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (183), and divided by 366. |

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. Performance figures for periods shorter than one year represent cumulative figures and are not annualized.

Annual Report to Shareholders
A year ago, the Federal Reserve Board’s (Fed)C predominant concern was that strong growth and a high level of resource utilization would sustain inflationary pressures. The financial crisis that erupted a few months later has defined the fixed-income landscape ever since. The period ended with the Fed not only focused on averting recession but struggling to unclog credit markets. The Ted spread (TED)D, a measure of systemic risk, rose five-fold during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2008, to peak near 220 basis points (bps)E in November, and had only moderated slightly by period-end. Growing expectations for easing over the first half of the period were finally validated by the Fed’s decision to cut the funds rate by a total of 300 bps, including a surprise 75 bps reduction at an unscheduled Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in January. Additionally, the Fed, along with a number of government housing agencies, announced new lending facilities targeted directly at strained credit conditions, with a specific focus on the mortgage market. The yield on the two-year Treasury note declined 303 bps, driving a powerful rally in the Treasury market. All other risky asset classes suffered as a severe flight-to-safety forced spreads sharply higher. Home prices declined and the drag from the homebuilding sector alone detracted more than 1% from gross domestic product growth. Still, the economy continued to expand modestly thanks to a robust trade sector and a stubborn consumer. The price of oil breached the $100 per barrel threshold despite slower growth concerns. The U.S. dollar lost substantial value against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. Equity markets came under serious pressure in the final four months and finished marginally lower.
The impact of market conditions on the Fund’s performance was negative for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2008, with strategies producing negative results. The Fund’s Institutional Class had a total return of +2.35%, which underperformed the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index’s return of +8.88%. Overweight exposure to the mortgage-backed sector detracted significantly from returns as spreads widened and volatility increased. We had diversified into a number of select non-agency issues, which were particularly impacted and further negatively impacted performance. An emphasis on lower-quality credits and the financial sector was also a negative as spreads trended higher in the wake of the subprime lending crisis, deteriorating liquidity conditions and slowing economic growth. A modest exposure to international bonds in other advanced economies had a negative impact as the flight-to-safety outside the U.S. has been minimal relative to U.S. Treasury markets. On the positive side, a tactically-driven duration posture contributed modestly to returns as bond yields rallied over the last 12 months. A curve-steepening strategy had a positive impact on performance as the spread between the two- and 10-year yields widened. Modest Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) exposure had a positive impact following a commodity-driven rise in headline inflation.

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.
C | | Federal Reserve Board (Fed) – is charged with, among other things, managing 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. |
D | | Ted Spread (Ted) – The price difference between three-month futures contracts for U.S. Treasuries and three-month contracts for euros having identical expiration months. |
E | | 100 basis points (bps) = 1% |

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, 2007, and held through March 31, 2008.
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 if your shares were held for the entire 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 10/1/07 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/08 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/01/07 to 03/31/08 |
Intermediate Plus Bond Portfolio: | | | | | | | | | |
Institutional Class | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,008.30 | | $ | 2.27 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.74 | | | 2.28 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.45% multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (183), and divided by 366. |

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. investments are subject to currency fluctuations, social, economic and political risk.

| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended 3/31/08 | | | | Average Annual Total Returns |
| | One Year | | Three Years | | Since InceptionA |
Western Asset Limited Duration Bond Portfolio: | | | | | | | | |
Institutional Class | | -4.33% | | -4.72% | | +1.24% | | +1.36% |
Merril Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury IndexB | | +2.98% | | +9.00% | | +5.41% | | +3.76% |
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 0.58%. Gross expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2007 and do not reflect fee waivers or reimbursements. These expenses include management 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2007 and reflect contractual fee waivers and/or reimbursements. The Fund’s Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, deferred organizational expenses, brokerage and extraordinary expenses) until August 1, 2008 to limit total annual operating expenses of the Institutional Class to 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the Institutional Class.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance—Continued
A year ago, the Federal Reserve Board’s (Fed)C predominant concern was that strong growth and a high level of resource utilization would sustain inflationary pressures. The financial crisis that erupted a few months later has defined the fixed-income landscape ever since. The period ended with the Fed not only focused on averting recession but struggling to unclog credit markets. The Ted Spread (Ted),D a measure of systemic risk, rose five-fold during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2008, to peak near 220 basis points (bps)E in November, and had only moderated slightly by period-end. Growing expectations for easing over the first half of the period were finally validated by the Fed’s decision to cut the funds rate by a total of 300 bps, including a surprise 75 bps reduction at an unscheduled Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in January. Additionally, the Fed, along with a number of government housing agencies, announced new lending facilities targeted directly at strained credit conditions, with a specific focus on the mortgage market. The yield on the two-year Treasury note declined 303 bps, driving a powerful rally in the Treasury market. All other risky asset classes suffered as a severe flight-to-safety forced spreads sharply higher. Home prices declined and the drag from the homebuilding sector alone detracted more than 1% from gross domestic product growth. Still, the economy continued to expand modestly thanks to a robust trade sector and a stubborn consumer. The price of oil breached the $100 per barrel threshold despite slower growth concerns. The U.S. dollar lost substantial value against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. Equity markets came under serious pressure in the final four months and finished marginally lower.
The impact of market conditions on the Fund’s performance was negative for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2008, with strategies producing negative results. For this period, the Fund’s Institutional Class had a total return of -4.72%, which underperformed its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index with a return of +9.00%. Agency mortgage exposure was a large negative with spreads widening significantly as volatility spiked and extension risk rose. Non-agency structured securities also underperformed heavily, and a further deleveraging from REITS, hedge funds and investment banks led to massive forced selling, causing non-agency mortgage-backed securities to decline dramatically in price. Investment grade credit corporate debt suffered on the flight to the safety of U.S. Treasuries following the eruption of the financial crisis. An emphasis on the financial sector was a further detractor as losses were heaviest in this area. Duration and curve strategies resulted in modest gains in performance.

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, 2007 and held through March 31, 2008.
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 if your shares were held for the entire 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 10/1/07 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/08 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/07 to 3/31/08 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 946.40 | | $ | 1.95 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.99 | | $ | 2.03 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.40% multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (183), and divided by 366. |

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.
Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit and inflation risk. Non-U.S. investments are subject to currency fluctuations, social, economical and political risk.

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, 2008, are presented below:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended 3/31/08 | | | | Average Annual Total Returns |
| | One Year | | Three Years | | Five Years | | Since InceptionA |
Western Asset Non-U.S. Opportunity Bond Portfolio: | | | | | | | | | | |
Institutional Class | | +0.10% | | +2.11% | | +3.77% | | +5.66% | | +6.65% |
Citigroup World Government ex-U.S. Bond Index (Hedged)B | | +2.14% | | +6.15% | | +4.86% | | +4.30% | | +5.50% |
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 0.64%. Gross expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2007 and do not reflect fee waivers or reimbursements. These expenses include management 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus dated August 1, 2007 and reflect contractual fee waivers and/or reimbursements. The Fund’s Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, deferred organizational expenses, brokerage and extraordinary expenses) until August 1, 2008 to limit total annual operating expenses of the Institutional Class to 0.55% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the Institutional Class.
A year ago, the Federal Reserve Board’s (Fed)C predominant concern was that strong growth and a high level of resource utilization would sustain inflationary pressures. The financial crisis that erupted a few months later has defined the fixed-income landscape ever since. The period ended with the Fed not only focused on averting recession but struggling to unclog credit markets. The Ted Spread (Ted),D a measure of systemic risk, rose five-fold during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2008, to peak near 220 basis points (bps)E in November, and had only moderated slightly by period-end. Growing expectations for easing over the first half of the period were finally validated by the Fed’s decision to cut the funds rate by a total of 300 bps, including a surprise 75 bps reduction at an unscheduled Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in January. Additionally, the Fed, along with a number of government housing agencies, announced new lending facilities targeted directly at strained credit conditions, with a specific focus on the mortgage market. The yield on the two-year Treasury note declined 303 bps, driving a powerful rally in the Treasury market. All other risky asset classes suffered as a severe flight-to-safety forced spreads sharply higher. Home prices declined and the drag from the homebuilding sector alone detracted more than 1% from gross domestic product growth. Still, the economy continued to expand modestly thanks to a robust trade sector and a stubborn consumer. The price of oil breached the $100 per barrel threshold despite slower growth concerns. The U.S. dollar lost substantial value against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. Equity markets came under serious pressure in the final four months and finished marginally lower.
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 | | An index encompassing an all-inclusive universe of institutionally traded bonds, including all fixed rate bonds with remaining maturities of one year or longer and with amounts outstanding of at least the equivalent of $25 million U.S. dollars. This Index excludes the U.S. and is currency-hedged as a means of achieving low-risk interest rate diversification. |

Annual Report to Shareholders
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance—Continued
The Fund’s performance fell short of the benchmark over the last 12 months. The Fund’s return was +2.11% compared to the return of the benchmark (Citigroup World Government ex-U.S. Bond Index) of +6.15%. The key strategies for the portfolio over the year remained largely intact. We had a bias to build a position in the non-government sectors with a particular focus on European financials. These positions underperformed as credit spreads widened dramatically across all asset classes. As the U.S. housing market continued to exhibit weakness, concerns mounted over the location and extent of possible losses within the markets. This lead to a round of risk aversion, which escalated through market sectors as time went on and market liquidity dried up. The Fund looked to partially hedge this exposure via a tactical long duration position. This was largely held within Europe, which underperformed the U.S. government bond market as inflation concerns remained in play and European Central Bank rhetoric continued to highlight their bias toward tightening once market stresses eased. An overweight duration position in intermediate bonds helped offset some of the underperformance as yields fall and curves steepened in most western bond markets. Within currency markets, a long exposure in the Japanese yen worked as a hedge during the ongoing period of market stress. As investors’ appetites for risk fell, the key carry trades that had been in place were largely unwound, which led to something of the bid for the Japanese yen. A new position was initiated to overweight the U.S. dollar against the euro, but as short-end interest rates continued to diverge, the euro rallied strongly.

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, 2007, and held through March 31, 2008.
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 if your shares were held for the entire 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 10/1/07 | | Ending Account Value 3/31/08 | | Expenses PaidA During the Period 10/1/07 to 3/31/08 |
Institutional Class: | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,011.30 | | $ | 2.77 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,022.24 | | $ | 2.79 |
A | | These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.55% multiplied by the average value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (183), and divided by 366. |

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.
Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit and inflation risk. Non U.S. investments are subject to currency fluctuations, social, economic, and political risk.

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.

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, 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 shareholder servicing expenses, and certain other 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 Absolute Return, Core Plus, High Yield, Inflation Indexed, Intermediate Plus and Non-U.S., where a security is traded on more than one market, which may include foreign markets, the securities are generally valued on the market considered by the Funds’ adviser to be the primary market. The Funds will value their foreign securities in U.S. dollars on the basis of the then-prevailing exchange rates.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are 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, 2008, security transactions (excluding short-term investments) were:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Purchases | | Proceeds From Sales |
| | U.S. Gov’t Securities | | Other | | U.S. Gov’t Securities | | Other |
Absolute Return | | $ | 1,840,707,844 | | $ | 230,071,702 | | $ | 1,674,233,324 | | $ | 42,376,580 |

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 priced daily by vendors or advisor models 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
238
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 December 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.
Credit and Market Risk
Investments in structured securities collateralized by residential real estate mortgages are subject to certain credit and liquidity risks. When market conditions result in an increase in default rates of the underlying mortgages and the foreclosure values of underlying real estate properties are materially below the outstanding amount of these underlying mortgages, collection of accrued interest and principal on these investments may be doubtful. Such market conditions may significantly impair the value of these investments resulting in a lack of correlation between their credit ratings and values.
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 comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to registered investment companies. Accordingly, the Funds intend to distribute substantially all of their taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders each year. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
��
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of March 31, 2008, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.
Reclassifications:
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require 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:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | (Over)/Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Accumulated Net Realized Gain/(Loss) | | | Paid-in Capital | |
Absolute Return | | A | | $ | 125,529 | | | — | | | $ | (125,529 | ) |

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 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.

Annual Report to Shareholders
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. |
The option is closed through a closing sale transaction | | Realize a gain or loss depending on whether the proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. |
The Fund exercises a call option | | The cost of the security purchased through the exercise of the option will be increased by the premium originally paid to purchase the option. |
The Fund exercises a put option | | Realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security. The proceeds of that sale will be reduced by the premium originally paid to purchase the put option. |
| |
Written option: | | Impact on the Fund: |
The option expires | | Realize a gain equal to the amount of the premium received. |
The option is closed through a closing purchase transaction | | Realize a gain or loss without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security and eliminate the option liability. The Fund will realize a loss in this transaction if the cost of the closing purchase exceeds the premium received when the option was written. |
A written call option is exercised by the option purchaser | | Realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security. The proceeds of that sale will be increased by the premium originally received when the option was written. |
A written put option is exercised by the option purchaser | | The amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security that the Fund purchased when the option was exercised. |
The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid. Options written by a Fund involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the option value reflected in the statement of 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 Absolute Return, Core Plus, Inflation Indexed, Intermediate Plus, and Non-U.S. Opportunity, 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 the value of 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, 2008 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 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 and in certain instances, take delivery of the securities. 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. If a fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the particular swap agreement, the fund will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional value of the swap and in certain instances, take delivery of the security.
Interest rate swap contracts involve the exchange of commitments to pay and receive interest based on a notional principal amount.
Commodity swaps are agreements to exchange cash flows at specified intervals to gain investment exposure to the relevant spread of commodity reference prices. Total return swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the index exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, the Fund 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 Fund’s custodian in compliance with the terms of the 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.
As of March 31, 2008, the one-and three-month London Interbank Offered Rates were 2.70% and 2.69%, respectively. The Lehman Brothers US ABS AAA Floating Home Equities Index was 3.05%. The 28 day Mexican Interbank Deposit Rate was 7.93%.

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. FIN 48 became effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2006. Effective April 1, 2007, the Fund adopted FIN 48. There was no material impact to the Financial Statements or disclosure there to as a result of this adoption.
In September 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. Management has evaluated the implications of FAS 157 and does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will materially impact the amounts recorded in the financial statements, however, additional disclosure will be required in subsequent reports.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about a fund’s derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on a fund’s financial position, performance and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the Funds’ financial statements and related disclosures.

Annual Report to Shareholders
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of Western Asset Funds, Inc. and to the 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, 2008, 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, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report to Shareholders
Board Consideration of the Management and Advisory Agreements
The Executive and Contracts Committee of the Board of Directors considered the Investment Management Agreements between the Corporation and LMFA, the Investment Advisory Agreements between LMFA and Western Asset and the Investment Advisory Agreements between LMFA and WAML (collectively, the “Agreements”) with respect to each Fund (other than the Absolute Return Portfolio) at meetings held on September 11, 2007, October 11, 2007 and October 27, 2007. At a subsequent meeting held on November 6, 2007, 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 Funds’ 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 Funds, and Western Asset’s and WAML’s ability to provide high quality investment management services to the Funds. The Directors considered the experience of LMFA’s personnel in providing the types of services that LMFA is responsible for providing to the Funds; 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 Funds. 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 Funds; 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 Fund. 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 Funds and conditions that might affect LMFA or an Adviser’s ability to provide high quality services to the Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds, the Directors also reviewed comparisons of the performance of the Funds 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 ended August 31, 2007 (as applicable). In that connection, the Directors noted that although the performance of most of the Funds for the one-year period was below their peer groups, the performance of most of the Funds over most of the periods was above the average of their respective investment benchmarks and peer groups. With respect to each of the Funds, the Directors considered the factors involved in its performance relative to the performance of its investment benchmark and peer groups.
The Directors also considered the management fees payable by the Funds to LMFA, the total expenses payable by the Funds and the fact that LMFA pays to the Advisers the entire management fee it receives from each Fund. 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 each of the Funds other than Absolute Return, Core Bond, Core Plus Bond and High Yield were below the median of the funds in their respective peer groups. The Directors also observed that total expenses for each Fund except Core Bond were below the average of the funds in its respective peer group (and Core Bond’s expenses were close to the average). The Directors noted that the management fees paid by the Funds 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 Funds 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.

Annual Report to Shareholders
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 Funds, 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 Funds grow. They further concluded that, where a Fund’s assets were currently at a level at which the Advisers potentially may realize economies of scale from any future growth in the Fund, fee breakpoints had been implemented to capture a portion of any economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’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.
