Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2020 |
WESTERN ASSET
CORE BOND FUND
Beginning in January 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund intends to no longer mail paper copies of the Fund’s shareholder reports like this one, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Fund or from your Service Agent or financial intermediary (such as a broker-dealer or bank). Instead, the reports will be made available on a website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically (“e-delivery”), you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. If you have not already elected e-delivery, you may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund electronically by contacting your Service Agent or, if you are a direct shareholder with the Fund, by calling 1-877-721-1926.
You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a Service Agent, you can contact your Service Agent to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. That election will apply to all Legg Mason Funds held in your account at that Service Agent. If you are a direct shareholder with the Fund, you can call the Fund at 1-877-721-1926, or write to the Fund by regular mail at Legg Mason Funds, P.O. Box 9699, Providence, RI 02940-9699 or by express, certified or registered mail to Legg Mason Funds, 4400 Computer Drive, Westborough, MA 01581 to let the Fund know you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. That election will apply to all Legg Mason Funds held in your account held directly with the fund complex.

Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report of Western Asset Core Bond Fund for the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2020. Please read on for Fund performance information during the Fund’s reporting period.
Special shareholder notice
On July 31, 2020, Franklin Resources, Inc. (“Franklin Resources”) acquired Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”) in an all-cash transaction. As a result of the transaction, Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC (“LMPFA”) and the subadviser(s) became indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Franklin Resources. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, consummation of the transaction automatically terminated the management and subadvisory agreements that were in place for the Fund prior to the transaction. The Fund’s manager and subadviser(s) continue to provide uninterrupted services with respect to the Fund pursuant to either new management and subadvisory agreements that were approved by Fund shareholders or interim management and subadvisory agreements that were approved by the Fund’s board for use while the Fund continues to seek shareholder approval of the new agreements.
Franklin Resources, whose principal executive offices are at One Franklin Parkway, San Mateo, California 94403, is a global investment management organization operating, together with its subsidiaries, as Franklin Templeton. As of June 30, 2020, after giving effect to the transaction described above, Franklin Templeton’s asset management operations had aggregate assets under management of approximately $1.4 trillion.

Performance review

The performance shown represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown above. Principal value, investment returns and yields will fluctuate and investors’ shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit our website at www.leggmason.com/mutualfunds.
All share class returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions, including returns of capital, if any, at net asset value and the deduction of all Fund expenses. Returns have not been adjusted to include sales charges that may apply or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions. If sales charges were reflected, the performance quoted would be lower. Performance figures for periods shorter than one year represent cumulative figures and are not annualized.
Fund performance figures reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, without which the performance would have been lower.
The 30-Day SEC Yields for the period ended, June 30, 2020 for Class A, Class C, Class C1, Class FI, Class R, Class I and Class IS shares were 1.27%, 0.64%, 0.88%, 1.33%, 1.02%, 1.68% and 1.71%, respectively. Absent fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the 30-Day SEC Yields for Class A shares and Class I shares would have been 1.26% and 1.61% respectively. The 30-Day SEC Yield, calculated pursuant to the standard SEC formula, is based on the Fund’s investments over an annualized trailing 30-day period, and not on the distributions paid by the Fund, which may differ.
| | |
Total Annual Operating Expenses (unaudited) |
As of the Fund’s current prospectus dated May 1, 2020, the gross total annual fund operating expense ratios for Class A, Class C, Class C1, Class FI, Class R, Class I and Class IS shares were 0.83%, 1.52%, 1.19%, 0.81%, 1.13%, 0.54% and 0.43%, respectively.
| | |
IV | | Western Asset Core Bond Fund |
Actual expenses may be higher. For example, expenses may be higher than those shown if average net assets decrease. Net assets are more likely to decrease and Fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile.
As a result of expense limitation arrangements, the ratio of total annual fund operating expenses, other than interest, brokerage commissions, taxes, extraordinary expenses, deferred organizational expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, to average net assets will not exceed 0.82% for Class A shares, 1.65% for Class C shares, 1.42% for Class C1 shares, 0.85% for Class FI shares, 1.15% for Class R shares, 0.45% for Class I shares and 0.42% for Class IS shares. In addition, the ratio of total annual fund operating expenses for Class IS shares will not exceed the ratio of total annual fund operating expenses for Class I shares. These expense limitation arrangements cannot be terminated prior to December 31, 2021 without the Board of Directors’ consent. In addition, the manager has agreed to waive the Fund’s management fee to an extent sufficient to offset the net management fee payable in connection with any investment in an affiliated money market fund. This management fee waiver is not subject to the recapture provision discussed below.
The manager is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class within two years after the fiscal year in which the manager earned the fee or incurred the expense if the class’ total annual operating expenses have fallen to a level below the expense limitation (“expense cap”) in effect at the time the fees were earned or the expenses incurred. In no case will the manager recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the Fund, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding the expense cap or any other lower limit then in effect.
As always, thank you for your confidence in our stewardship of your assets.
Sincerely,

RISKS: Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit and inflation risks. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, reducing the value of the Fund’s share price. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities involve additional risks, including prepayment and extension risks. Non-U.S. investments are subject to special risks including currency fluctuations and social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Emerging market countries tend to have economic, political and legal systems that are less developed and are less stable than those of more developed countries. The Fund may use derivatives, such as options, futures and swaps, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large

impact on Fund performance. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and the Fund’s investment strategies.
All investments are subject to risk including the possible loss of principal. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. All index performance reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Please note that an investor cannot invest directly in an index.
i | The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index is a broad-based bond index comprised of government, corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed issues, rated investment grade or higher, and having at least one year to maturity. |
ii | Lipper, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments. Returns are based on the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, including the reinvestment of all distributions, including returns of capital, if any, calculated among the 520 funds in the Fund’s Lipper category, and excluding sales changes, if any. |

Fund expenses (unaudited)
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including front-end and back-end sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; service and/or distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2020 and held for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Actual expenses
The table below titled “Based on Actual Total Return” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information provided in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account, divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 ending account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period”.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below titled “Based on Hypothetical Total Return” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use the information provided in this table to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5.00% hypothetical example relating to the Fund with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or back-end sales charges (loads). Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Performance figures may reflect compensating balance arrangements, fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of compensating balance arrangements, fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. |

Western Asset Core Bond Fund
1 | If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
2 | The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |
3 | The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected loss (or profit) for the credit derivative had the notional amount of the swap agreement been closed/sold as of the period end. Decreasing market values (sell protection) or increasing market values (buy protection) when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |
† | Percentage shown is an annual percentage rate. |
(a) | Swap contract is valued using significant unobservable inputs (See Note 1). |
(b) | Swap contract is valued in good faith in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Directors (Note 1). |

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
1. Organization and significant accounting policies
Western Asset Core Bond Fund (the “Fund”) is a separate diversified investment series of Western Asset Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”). The Corporation, a Maryland corporation, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.
The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.
(a) Investment valuation. The valuations for fixed income securities (which may include, but are not limited to, corporate, government, municipal, mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities) and certain derivative instruments are typically the prices supplied by independent third party pricing services, which may use market prices or broker/dealer quotations or a variety of valuation techniques and methodologies. The independent third party pricing services use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar securities. Investments in open-end funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each fund on the day of valuation. Futures contracts are valued daily at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. When the Fund holds securities or other assets that are denominated in a foreign currency, the Fund will normally use the currency exchange rates as of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). If independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices for a portfolio investment, or if the prices supplied are deemed by the manager to be unreliable, the market price may be determined by the manager using quotations from one or more broker/dealers or at the transaction price if the security has recently been purchased and no value has yet been obtained from a pricing service or pricing broker. When reliable prices are not readily available, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Fund calculates its net asset value, the Fund values these securities as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the valuation process and has delegated the supervision of the daily valuation process to the Legg Mason North Atlantic Fund Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”). The Valuation Committee, pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board of Directors, is responsible for making fair value determinations,
| | |
92 | | Western Asset Core Bond Fund 2020 Semi-Annual Report |
evaluating the effectiveness of the Fund’s pricing policies, and reporting to the Board of Directors. When determining the reliability of third party pricing information for investments owned by the Fund, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of pricing vendors, monitors the daily change in prices and reviews transactions among market participants.
The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making fair value determinations. Examples of possible methodologies include, but are not limited to, multiple of earnings; discount from market of a similar freely traded security; discounted cash-flow analysis; book value or a multiple thereof; risk premium/yield analysis; yield to maturity; and/or fundamental investment analysis. The Valuation Committee will also consider factors it deems relevant and appropriate in light of the facts and circumstances. Examples of possible factors include, but are not limited to, the type of security; the issuer’s financial statements; the purchase price of the security; the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase; analysts’ research and observations from financial institutions; information regarding any transactions or offers with respect to the security; the existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting the security; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies; and the existence of a shelf registration for restricted securities.
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board of Directors, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such back testing monthly and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board of Directors quarterly.
The Fund uses valuation techniques to measure fair value that are consistent with the market approach and/or income approach, depending on the type of security and the particular circumstance. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to discount estimated future cash flows to present value.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) (cont’d)
GAAP establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
• | | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
• | | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value:

(b) Purchased options. When the Fund purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an investment on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the value of which is marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased. If the purchased option expires, the Fund realizes a loss equal to the amount of premium paid. When an instrument is purchased or sold through the exercise of
| | |
Western Asset Core Bond Fund 2020 Semi-Annual Report | | 95 |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) (cont’d)
an option, the related premium paid is added to the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from the proceeds of the instrument sold. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid.
(c) Written options. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability, the value of which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option written. If the option expires, the premium received is recorded as a realized gain. When a written call option is exercised, the difference between the premium received plus the option exercise price and the Fund’s basis in the underlying security (in the case of a covered written call option), or the cost to purchase the underlying security (in the case of an uncovered written call option), including brokerage commission, is recognized as a realized gain or loss. When a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium received is subtracted from the cost of the security purchased by the Fund from the exercise of the written put option to form the Fund’s basis in the underlying security purchased. The writer or buyer of an option traded on an exchange can liquidate the position before the exercise of the option by entering into a closing transaction. The cost of a closing transaction is deducted from the original premium received resulting in a realized gain or loss to the Fund.
The risk in writing a covered call option is that the Fund may forego 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 the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing an uncovered call option is that the Fund is exposed to the risk of loss if the market price of the underlying security increases. In addition, there is the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.
(d) Futures contracts. The Fund uses futures contracts generally to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in interest rates or gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in certain asset classes. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash or securities with a broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the ‘‘initial margin’’ and 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 certain futures, including foreign denominated futures, variation margin is not settled daily, but is recorded as a net variation margin payable or receivable. The daily changes in contract value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations and the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.
| | |
96 | | Western Asset Core Bond Fund 2020 Semi-Annual Report |
Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the amounts reflected in the financial statements. In addition, there is the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.
(e) Swap agreements. The Fund invests in swaps for the purpose of managing its 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 other portfolio transactions. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract (“OTC Swaps”) or centrally cleared (“Centrally Cleared Swaps”). Unlike Centrally Cleared Swaps, the Fund has credit exposure to the counterparties of OTC Swaps.
In a Centrally Cleared Swap, immediately following execution of the swap, the swap agreement is submitted to a clearinghouse or central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the CCP becomes the ultimate counterparty of the swap agreement. The Fund is required to interface with the CCP through a broker, acting in an agency capacity. All payments are settled with the CCP through the broker. Upon entering into a Centrally Cleared Swap, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities.
Swap contracts are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). The daily change in valuation of Centrally Cleared Swaps, if any, is recorded as a net receivable or payable for variation margin on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreement. 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. Securities posted as collateral for swap contracts are identified in the Schedule of Investments and restricted cash, if any, is identified on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks may exceed amounts recorded in the Statement 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.
OTC swap payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as a premium or deposit, respectively, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These upfront payments are amortized over the life of the swap and are recognized as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Fund are recognized as a realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund’s maximum exposure in the event of a defined credit event on a credit default swap to sell protection is the notional amount. As of June 30, 2020, the total notional value of all credit default swaps to sell protection was $3,082,844,339. This amount would be offset by the value of the swap’s reference entity, upfront premiums received on the swap and any amounts received from the settlement of a credit default swap where the Fund bought protection for the same referenced security/entity.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) (cont’d)
For average notional amounts of swaps held during the six months ended June 30, 2020, see Note 4.
Credit default swaps
The Fund enters into credit default swap (“CDS”) contracts for investment purposes, to manage its credit risk or to add leverage. CDS agreements involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate or sovereign issuers, on a specified obligation, or in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising a credit index. The Fund may use a CDS to provide protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Fund has exposure to an issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. As a seller of protection, the Fund generally receives an upfront payment or a stream of payments throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These amounts of potential payments will be partially offset by any recovery of values from the respective referenced obligations. As a seller of protection, the Fund effectively adds leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. As a buyer of protection, the Fund generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs.
Implied spreads are the theoretical prices a lender receives for credit default protection. When spreads rise, market perceived credit risk rises and when spreads fall, market perceived credit risk falls. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads and decreasing market values, when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. Credit spreads utilized in determining the period end market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issues are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for credit derivatives. For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values, particularly in relation to the notional amount of the contract as well as the annual payment rate, serve as an indication of the current status of the payment/performance risk.
| | |
98 | | Western Asset Core Bond Fund 2020 Semi-Annual Report |
The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, as the protection buyer, is the fair value of the contract (this risk is mitigated by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty). As the protection seller, the Fund’s maximum risk is the notional amount of the contract. Credit default swaps are considered to have credit risk-related contingent features since they require payment by the protection seller to the protection buyer upon the occurrence of a defined credit event.
Entering into a CDS agreement involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the related amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreement may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreement, and that there will be unfavorable changes in net interest rates.
Interest rate swaps
The Fund enters into interest rate swap contracts to manage its exposure to interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows based on a notional principal amount. The Fund may elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate, receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate, or pay and receive a floating rate, on a notional principal amount. Interest rate swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. When a swap contract is terminated early, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the original cost and the settlement amount of the closing transaction.
The risks of interest rate swaps include changes in market conditions that will affect the value of the contract or changes in the present value of the future cash flow streams and the possible inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the agreement. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.
(f) Swaptions. The Fund may purchase or write swaption contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or to enhance yield. The Fund may also purchase and write swaption contracts to manage exposure to an underlying instrument. Swaption contracts written by the Fund represent an option that gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a previously agreed upon swap contract at a future date. Swaption contracts purchased by the Fund represent an option that gives the Fund the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a previously agreed upon swap contract at a future date.
| | |
Western Asset Core Bond Fund 2020 Semi-Annual Report | | 99 |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) (cont’d)
When the Fund writes a swaption, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability, the value of which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the swaption written. If the swaption expires, the Fund realizes a gain equal to the amount of the premium received.
When the Fund purchases a swaption, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an investment on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the value of which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the swaption purchased. If the swaption expires, the Fund realizes a loss equal to the amount of the premium paid.
Swaptions are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers. Changes in the value of the swaption are reported as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations.
(g) Stripped securities. The Fund may invest in ‘‘Stripped Securities,’’ a term used collectively for components, or strips, of fixed income securities. Stripped Securities can be principal only securities (“PO”), which are debt obligations that have been stripped of unmatured interest coupons, or interest only securities (“IO”), which are unmatured interest coupons that have been stripped from debt obligations. The market value of Stripped Securities will fluctuate in response to changes in economic conditions, rates of prepayment, interest rates and the market’s perception of the securities. However, fluctuations in response to interest rates may be greater in Stripped Securities than for debt obligations of comparable maturities that pay interest currently. The amount of fluctuation may increase with a longer period of maturity.
The yield to maturity on IO’s is sensitive to the rate of principal repayments (including prepayments) on the related underlying debt obligation and principal payments may have a material effect on yield to maturity. If the underlying debt obligation experiences greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may not fully recoup its initial investment in IO’s.
(h) Securities traded on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis. The Fund may trade securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. In when-issued and delayed delivery transactions, the securities are purchased or sold by the Fund with payment and delivery taking place in the future in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price and yield to the Fund at the time of entering into the transaction.
Purchasing such securities involves risk of loss if the value of the securities declines prior to settlement. These securities are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities.
(i) Securities traded on a to-be-announced basis. The Fund may trade securities on a to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA transaction, the Fund commits to purchasing or selling securities which have not yet been issued by the issuer and for which specific
| | |
100 | | Western Asset Core Bond Fund 2020 Semi-Annual Report |
information, such as the face amount, maturity date and underlying pool of investments in U.S. government agency mortgage pass-through securities, is not announced. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Fund. Beginning on the date the Fund enters into a TBA transaction, cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid high-grade debt obligations are segregated in an amount equal in value to the purchase price of the TBA security. These securities are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities.
(j) Mortgage dollar rolls. The Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month, realizing a gain or loss, and simultaneously entering into contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities to settle on a specified future date.
The Fund executes its mortgage dollar rolls entirely in the TBA market, whereby the Fund makes a forward commitment to purchase a security and, instead of accepting delivery, the position is offset by a sale of the security with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase at a future date. The Fund accounts for mortgage dollar rolls as purchases and sales.
The risk of entering into mortgage dollar rolls is that the market value of the securities the Fund is obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a mortgage dollar roll files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds of the mortgage dollar roll may be restricted pending a determination by the counterparty, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities.
(k) Inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value or interest rate is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. As the index measuring inflation changes, the principal value or interest rate of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted accordingly. Inflation adjustments to the principal amount of inflation-indexed bonds are reflected as an increase or decrease to investment income on the Statement of Operations. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.
(l) Credit and market risk. Investments in securities that are collateralized by 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 the full amount of accrued interest and principal on these investments may be doubtful. Such market conditions may significantly impair the value and liquidity of these investments and may result in a lack of correlation between their credit ratings and values.

(m) Counterparty risk and credit-risk-related contingent features of derivative instruments. The Fund may invest in certain securities or engage in other transactions, where the Fund is exposed to counterparty credit risk in addition to broader market risks. The Fund may invest in securities of issuers, which may also be considered counterparties as trading partners in other transactions. This may increase the risk of loss in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty or if the counterparty otherwise fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Fund’s subadviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. Market events and changes in overall economic conditions may impact the assessment of such counterparty risk by the subadviser. In addition, declines in the values of underlying collateral received may expose the Fund to increased risk of loss.
With exchange traded and centrally cleared derivatives, there is less counterparty risk to the Fund since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, the credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, the Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default of the clearing broker or clearinghouse.
The Fund has entered into master agreements, such as an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement, with certain of its derivative counterparties that govern over-the-counter derivatives and provide for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral posting terms, netting provisions in the event of default or termination and credit related contingent features. The credit related contingent features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in the Fund’s net assets or NAV over a specified period of time. If these credit related contingent features were triggered, the derivatives counterparty could terminate the positions and demand payment or require additional collateral.
Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. However, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the terms of the ISDA Master Agreements do not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between the Fund and the applicable counterparty. The enforceability of the right to offset may vary by jurisdiction.
Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearinghouse for exchange traded derivatives while
| | |
102 | | Western Asset Core Bond Fund 2020 Semi-Annual Report |
collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter traded derivatives. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, for the same purpose are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
As of June 30, 2020, the Fund held OTC written options with credit related contingent features which had a liability position of $24. If a contingent feature in the master agreements would have been triggered, the Fund would have been required to pay this amount to its derivative counterparties.
At June 30, 2020, the Fund held non-cash collateral from Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. in the amount of $62,105. This amount could be used to reduce the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty in the event of default.
(n) Security transactions and investment income. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income (including interest income from payment-in-kind securities), adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method. To the extent any issuer defaults or a credit event occurs that impacts the issuer, the Fund may halt any additional interest income accruals and consider the realizability of interest accrued up to the date of default or credit event.
(o) Distributions to shareholders. Distributions from net investment income of the Fund are declared each business day to shareholders of record and paid monthly. Distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared at least annually. Distributions to shareholders of the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(p) Share class accounting. Investment income, common expenses and realized/ unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated to the various classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that share class.
(q) Compensating balance arrangements. The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby a portion of the custodian’s fees is paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank.
(r) Federal and other taxes. It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Fund intends to distribute its taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders in accordance with timing requirements imposed by the Code. Therefore, no federal or state income tax provision is required in the Fund’s financial statements.
| | |
Western Asset Core Bond Fund 2020 Semi-Annual Report | | 103 |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) (cont’d)
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of December 31, 2019, no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.
(s) Reclassification. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
2. Investment management agreement and other transactions with affiliates
Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC (“LMPFA”) is the Fund’s investment manager. Western Asset Management Company, LLC (“Western Asset”) and Western Asset Management Company Limited in London (“Western Asset London”) are the Fund’s subadvisers. LMPFA, Western Asset and Western Asset London are wholly owned subsidiaries of Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”). As of July 31, 2020, LMPFA and Western Asset are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Franklin Resources, Inc. (“Franklin Resources”).
LMPFA provides the Fund with management and administrative services for which the Fund pays a fee calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.450% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $500 million, 0.425% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of the next $500 million and 0.400% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. For their services, LMPFA pays Western Asset and Western Asset London monthly all of the management fee that LMPFA receives from the Fund.
As a result of expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and LMPFA, the ratio of total annual fund operating expenses, other than interest, brokerage commissions, taxes, extraordinary expenses, deferred organizational expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, to average net assets of Class A, Class C, Class C1, Class FI, Class R, Class I and Class IS shares did not exceed 0.82%, 1.65%, 1.42%, 0.85%, 1.15%, 0.45% and 0.42%, respectively. In addition, the ratio of total annual fund operating expenses for Class IS shares did not exceed the ratio of total annual fund operating expenses for Class I shares. These expense limitation arrangements cannot be terminated prior to December 31, 2021 without the Board of Directors’ consent. In addition, the manager has agreed to waive the Fund’s management fee to an extent sufficient to offset the net management fee payable in connection with any investment in an affiliated money market fund (the “affiliated money market fund waiver”). The affiliated money market fund waiver is not subject to the recapture provision discussed below.
| | |
104 | | Western Asset Core Bond Fund 2020 Semi-Annual Report |
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed amounted to $3,962,011, which included an affiliated money market fund waiver of $301,266.
LMPFA is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class within two years after the fiscal year in which LMPFA earned the fee or incurred the expense if the class’ total annual operating expenses have fallen to a level below the expense limitation (“expense cap”) in effect at the time the fees were earned or the expenses incurred. In no case will LMPFA recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the Fund, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding the expense cap or any other lower limit then in effect.
Pursuant to these arrangements, at June 30, 2020, the Fund had remaining fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements subject to recapture by LMPFA and respective dates of expiration as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Legg Mason Investor Services, LLC (“LMIS”), a wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Legg Mason, serves as the Fund’s sole and exclusive distributor. As of July 31, 2020, LMIS is an indirect, wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Franklin Resources.
There is a maximum initial sales charge of 4.25% for Class A shares. There is a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% on Class C shares and Class C1 shares, which applies if redemption occurs within 12 months from purchase payment. In certain cases, Class A shares have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within 18 months from purchase payment. This CDSC only applies to those purchases of Class A shares, which, when combined with current holdings of other shares of funds sold by LMIS, equal or exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate. These purchases do not incur an initial sales charge.

borrowings under the Redemption Facility will bear interest at current market rates as set forth in the credit agreement.

10. Other matters
The outbreak of the respiratory illness COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has continued to rapidly spread around the world, causing considerable uncertainty for the global economy and financial markets. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. The COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, impair the Fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Fund’s performance. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the Fund by its service providers.
* * *
The Fund’s investments, payment obligations, and financing terms may be based on floating rates, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate, or “LIBOR,” which is the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. Plans are underway to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There remains uncertainty regarding the nature of any replacement rate and the impact of the transition from LIBOR on the Fund’s transactions and the financial markets generally. As such, the potential effect of a transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or the Fund’s investments cannot yet be determined.

Board approval of new management and
new subadvisory agreements (unaudited)
On February 18, 2020, Franklin Resources, Inc., a global investment management organization operating, together with its subsidiaries, as Franklin Templeton (“Franklin Templeton”), and Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”) announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) for Franklin Templeton to acquire Legg Mason in an all-cash transaction. As part of this transaction, the Fund’s manager, Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC (the “Manager”), and the Fund’s subadvisers, Western Asset Management Company, LLC (“Western Asset”) and Western Asset Management Company Limited in London (“WAML” and, together with Western Asset, the “Subadvisers” and, collectively with the Manager, the “Advisers”), each currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Legg Mason, would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Templeton (the “Transaction”). The Transaction is subject to approval by Legg Mason’s shareholders and customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory approvals. Subject to such approvals and the satisfaction of the other conditions, the Transaction is expected to be consummated in the latter part of 2020. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), consummation of the Transaction will result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s current management agreement with the Manager (the “Current Management Agreement”) and the current sub-advisory agreements between the Manager and each of the Subadvisers (the “Current Sub-advisory Agreements” and, collectively, the “Current Agreements”).
Therefore, at a meeting of the Board of Directors of Western Asset Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”) held on April 14, 20201, the Board, including the Directors who are not considered to be “interested persons” of the Corporation (the “Independent Directors”) under the 1940 Act, approved a new management agreement (the “New Management Agreement”) between the Corporation and the Manager with respect to the Fund, a series of the Corporation, and new sub-advisory agreements (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreements” and, collectively, the “New Agreements”) between the Manager and the Subadvisers with respect to the Fund. The Board also authorized the Fund’s officers to submit the New Agreements to Fund shareholders for their approval. Fund shareholders were sent notice of the shareholder meeting and a proxy statement in April, 2020. In the event the Fund’s shareholders do not approve the New Agreements and the Transaction is completed, the Directors have also approved an interim investment management agreement between the Manager and the Fund (the “Interim Management Agreement”) and interim sub-advisory agreements between the Manager and the Subadvisers (the “Interim Sub-advisory Agreements” and, collectively, the “Interim Agreements”) that will take effect upon
1 | This meeting was held telephonically in reliance on an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2020. Reliance on the exemptive order is necessary and appropriate due to circumstances related to current or potential effects of COVID-19. All Directors participating in the telephonic meeting were able to hear each other simultaneously during the meeting. Reliance on the exemptive order requires Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, to ratify actions taken pursuant to the exemptive order by vote cast at the next in-person meeting. |

the closing of the Transaction to enable the Manager and Subadvisers to serve as investment managers of the Fund following the termination of the Current Agreements and pending shareholder approval of the New Agreements.
On March 9, 2020, during a telephonic meeting, the Directors discussed with Legg Mason management and certain Franklin Templeton representatives the Transaction and Franklin Templeton’s plans and intentions regarding the Legg Mason funds and Legg Mason’s asset management business, including the preservation and continued investment autonomy of the investment advisory businesses conducted by the Subadvisers and the combination of Legg Mason’s and Franklin Templeton’s distribution resources.
On April 8, 2020, the Independent Directors met with representatives of Legg Mason to discuss the Transaction and the New Agreements. In addition, the Independent Directors met separately, with the assistance of their independent legal counsel, to discuss and evaluate the information provided and to consider what additional information was desired.
The Independent Directors considered, among other things, whether it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the New Agreements, and the anticipated impacts of the Transaction on the Fund and its shareholders. To assist the Directors in their consideration of the New Agreements, Franklin Templeton provided materials and information about Franklin Templeton, including its financial condition and asset management capabilities and organization, and Franklin Templeton and Legg Mason provided materials and information about the proposed Transaction between Legg Mason and Franklin Templeton.
Before or during the April 14, 2020 meeting, the Directors sought additional information as they deemed necessary and appropriate. In connection with the Directors’ consideration of the New Agreements, the Independent Directors worked with their independent legal counsel to prepare requests for information that were submitted to Franklin Templeton and Legg Mason. The Directors requested information relevant to the consideration of the New Agreements, distribution arrangements, and other anticipated impacts of the Transaction on the Fund and its shareholders. Franklin Templeton and Legg Mason provided documents and information in response to the request for information. Following their review of this information, the Independent Directors submitted supplemental due diligence requests for additional information to Franklin Templeton and Legg Mason. Franklin Templeton and Legg Mason provided further information in response to this supplemental diligence request, which the Directors reviewed. Senior management representatives from Franklin Templeton and Legg Mason participated in a portion of the meeting and addressed various questions raised by the Directors.
At the April 14, 2020 meeting, representatives of Legg Mason (including representatives of the Advisers) and Franklin Templeton made presentations to, and responded to questions

Board approval of new management and
new subadvisory agreements (unaudited) (cont’d)
from, the Directors. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials provided, the Independent Directors met in executive session with their counsel to consider the New Agreements.
The Directors’ evaluation of the New Agreements reflected the information provided specifically in connection with their review of the New Agreements, as well as, where relevant, information that was previously furnished to the Board in connection with the most recent renewal of the Current Agreements at in-person meetings held in November 2019 and at other prior Board meetings.
Among other things, the Directors considered:
(i) | the reputation, experience, financial strength and resources of Franklin Templeton and its investment advisory subsidiaries; |
(ii) | that Franklin Templeton has informed the Directors that it intends to maintain the investment autonomy of the Legg Mason investment advisory subsidiaries; |
(iii) | that Franklin Templeton and Legg Mason have informed the Directors that, following the Transaction, there is not expected to be any diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Fund and its shareholders by the Advisers, including compliance and other non-advisory services, and have represented that there are not expected to be any changes in the portfolio management personnel managing the Fund as a result of the Transaction; |
(iv) | that Franklin Templeton and Legg Mason have informed the Directors regarding transition plans, including Legg Mason’s provision of retention incentives for certain Legg Mason corporate personnel until the transaction closes, and Franklin Templeton’s provision of long-term retention mechanisms for certain personnel following the closing; |
(v) | that there are not expected to be any changes to the Fund’s custodian or other service providers as a result of the Transaction; |
(vi) | that Franklin Templeton has informed the Directors that it has no present intention to alter currently effective expense waivers and reimbursements after their expiration, and, while it reserves the right to do so in the future, it would consult with the Directors before making any changes; |
(vii) | that Franklin Templeton does not expect to propose any changes to the investment objective of the Fund or any changes to the principal investment strategies of the Fund as a result of the Transaction; |
(viii) | the potential benefits to Fund shareholders from being part of a combined fund family with Franklin Templeton-sponsored funds and access to a broader array of investment opportunities; |
| | |
116 | | Western Asset Core Bond Fund |
(ix) | that Franklin Templeton’s distribution capabilities, particularly with respect to retail investors, and significant network of intermediary relationships may provide additional opportunities for the Fund to grow assets and lower expense ratios by spreading expenses over a larger asset base; |
(x) | that Franklin Templeton and Legg Mason will each derive benefits from the Transaction and that, as a result, they have a financial interest in the matters that were being considered; |
(xi) | the fact that the Fund’s contractual management fee rates will remain the same and will not increase by virtue of the New Agreements; |
(xii) | the terms and conditions of the New Agreements, including that each New Agreement is identical to its corresponding Current Agreement except for their respective dates of execution, effectiveness and termination; |
(xiii) | the support expressed by the current senior management team at Legg Mason for the Transaction and Legg Mason’s recommendation that the Directors approve the New Agreements; |
(xiv) | that the Current Agreements are the product of multiple years of review and negotiation and information received and considered by the Directors in the exercise of their business judgment during those years, and that within the past year the Directors had performed a full review of and approved the Current Agreements as required by the 1940 Act and had determined in the exercise of the Directors’ business judgment that each applicable Adviser had the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the services provided to the Fund, and that the management and subadvisory fees paid by or in respect of the Fund represented reasonable compensation to the Advisers in light of the services provided, the costs to the applicable Adviser of providing those services, the fees and other expenses paid by similar funds, and such other matters as the Directors considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment, and represented an appropriate sharing between Fund shareholders and the Advisers of any economies of scale in the management of the Fund at current and anticipated asset levels; |
(xv) | that the Current Agreements were considered and approved in November 2019; |
(xvi) | that the Fund will not bear the costs of obtaining shareholder approval of the New Agreements, including proxy solicitation costs, legal fees and the costs of printing and mailing the proxy statement, regardless of whether the Transaction is consummated; and |
(xvii) | that under the Transaction Agreement Franklin Templeton has acknowledged that Legg Mason had entered into the Transaction Agreement in reliance upon the benefits and |
| | |
Western Asset Core Bond Fund | | 117 |
Board approval of new management and
new subadvisory agreements (unaudited) (cont’d)
| protections provided by Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act, and that, in furtherance of the foregoing, Franklin Templeton represented to the Directors that it would conduct its business such that (a) for a period of not less than three years after the closing of the Transaction no more than 25% of the members of the Board shall be “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any investment adviser for a Fund, and (b) for a period of not less than two years after the closing, neither Franklin Templeton nor any of its affiliates shall impose an “unfair burden” (within the meaning of the 1940 Act, including any interpretations or no-action letters of the Securities and Exchange Commission) on the Fund as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto. |
Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below.
In their deliberations, the Directors considered information received in connection with the most recent Board approval/continuation of each Current Agreement in addition to information provided by Franklin Templeton and Legg Mason in connection with their evaluation of the terms and conditions of the New Agreements. The Directors noted that, although Western Asset’s business is operated through separate legal entities, such as WAML, its business is highly integrated and senior investment personnel at Western Asset have supervisory oversight responsibility over the investment decisions made by WAML. Therefore, in connection with their deliberations noted below, the Directors primarily focused on the information provided by Western Asset when considering the approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and WAML with respect to the Fund in addition to the information provided by Franklin Templeton in connection with their evaluation of the New Agreements. The Directors also noted that the Fund does not pay any management fees directly to Western Asset or to WAML because the Manager pays the Subadvisers for services provided to the Fund out of the management fee the Manager receives from the Fund. In connection with the most recent approval/continuation of each Current Agreement, and in connection with their review of each New Agreement, the Directors did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weights to the various factors.
The information provided and presentations made to the Directors encompassed the Fund and all other funds for which the Directors have responsibility. The discussion below covers both the advisory and the administrative functions rendered by the Manager, both of which functions are encompassed by the New Management Agreement, as well as the advisory functions rendered by the Subadvisers pursuant to the New Sub-Advisory Agreements.
The Independent Directors were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the
| | |
118 | | Western Asset Core Bond Fund |
proposed approval of the New Management Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Independent Directors also reviewed the proposed approval of the New Management Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreements in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Manager and Subadvisers were present. The Independent Directors considered the New Management Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreements separately in the course of their review. In doing so, they noted the respective roles of the Manager and the Subadvisers in providing services to the Fund.
The Directors received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Manager and the Subadvisers under the Current Agreements. In evaluating the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Advisers under the New Agreements, the Directors considered, among other things, the expected impact, if any, of the Transaction on the operations, facilities, organization and personnel of each Adviser, and that Franklin Templeton and Legg Mason have advised the Board that, following the Transaction, there is not expected to be any diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Fund and its shareholders by the Advisers, including compliance and other non-advisory services, and that there are not expected to be any changes in portfolio management personnel as a result of the Transaction. The Directors have received information at regular meetings throughout the past year related to the services rendered by the Manager in its management of the Fund’s affairs and the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Fund’s other service providers. The Directors’ evaluation of the services provided by the Manager and the Subadvisers took into account the Directors’ knowledge gained as Directors of funds in the Legg Mason fund complex, including knowledge gained regarding the scope and quality of the investment management and other capabilities of the Manager and the Subadvisers, and the quality of the Manager’s administrative and shareholder support services. In addition, the Directors reviewed the quality of the Manager’s and the Subadvisers’ services with respect to compliance with the investment policies of the Fund and conditions that might affect the Manager’s or a Subadviser’s ability to provide high quality services to the Fund in the future under the New Agreements, including its business reputation, financial condition and operational stability. The Directors observed that the scope of services provided by the Manager and the Subadvisers, and the undertakings required of the Manager and Subadvisers in connection with those services, including maintaining and monitoring their own and the Fund’s compliance programs, liquidity management programs and cybersecurity programs, had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other developments. The Directors also noted that on a regular basis they received and reviewed information from the Manager and the Subadvisers regarding the Fund’s compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act, and took that information into account in their evaluation of the New Agreements. The
| | |
Western Asset Core Bond Fund | | 119 |
Board approval of new management and
new subadvisory agreements (unaudited) (cont’d)
Directors also considered the risks associated with the Fund borne by the Manager and its affiliates (such as entrepreneurial, operational, reputational, litigation and regulatory risk), as well as the Manager’s and the Subadvisers’ risk management processes.
The Directors considered information provided by Franklin Templeton regarding its business and operating structure, scale of operation, leadership and reputation, distribution capabilities, and financial condition.
The Directors also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the Manager’s and the Subadvisers’ senior personnel and the team of investment professionals primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. The Directors considered the experience of each Adviser’s personnel in providing the types of services that the Adviser is responsible for providing to the Fund; the ability of each Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel; the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of the Subadvisers; the capability and integrity of each Adviser’s senior management and staff; and the level of skill required to provide the applicable services to the Fund. The Directors also considered the financial resources of Legg Mason and Franklin Templeton and the importance of having a Fund manager with, or with access to, significant organizational and financial resources. The Directors considered the benefits to the Fund of being part of a larger combined organization with greater financial resources following the Transaction, particularly during periods of market disruptions and volatility. The Directors also considered the policies and practices of the Manager and the Subadvisers regarding the selection of brokers and dealers and the execution of portfolio transactions for the Fund. In addition, the Directors considered management’s periodic reports to the Directors on, among other things, its business plans and any organizational changes. Based on the foregoing, the Directors concluded that the Subadvisers’ investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to the Fund given the Fund’s investment objectives and policies, and that the Manager and each Subadviser would be able to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.
In reviewing the quality of the services provided to the Fund, the Directors received and considered performance information for the Fund as well as for a group of funds (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, based on classifications provided by Thomson Reuters Lipper (“Lipper”). The Directors were provided with a description of the methodology used to determine the similarity of the Fund with the funds included in the Performance Universe. It was noted that while the Directors found the Broadridge data generally useful they recognized its limitations, including that the data may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection of the peer group and its composition over time. The Directors also noted that they had received and discussed with management information throughout
| | |
120 | | Western Asset Core Bond Fund |
the year at periodic intervals comparing the Fund’s performance against its benchmark and against the Fund’s peers. In addition, the Directors considered the Fund’s performance in light of overall financial market conditions.
The Directors noted that the performance of the Fund exceeded its peer group’s average performance for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2019. With respect to the Fund, the Directors considered the factors involved in the Fund’s performance relative to the performance of its investment benchmark and peer group.
Based on their review of the materials provided and the assurances received from Franklin Templeton and Legg Mason, the Directors determined that the Transaction was not expected to affect adversely the nature, extent and quality of services provided by each Adviser and that the Transaction was not expected to have an adverse effect on the ability of the Manager and Subadvisers to provide those services, and the Directors concluded that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided, including performance, under the New Agreements were sufficient for approval.
The Directors considered that they had reviewed the Fund’s management fee and total expense ratio at the 2019 contract renewal meetings. The Directors considered that the New Agreements do not change the Fund’s management fee rate or the computation method for calculating such fees, and that there is no present intention to alter expense waiver and reimbursement arrangements that are currently in effect.
The Directors also considered the management fee payable by the Fund to the Manager, the total expenses payable by the Fund and the fact that the Manager pays to the Subadvisers the entire management fee it receives from the Fund. They reviewed information concerning management fees paid to investment advisers of similarly managed funds, as well as fees paid by the Subadvisers’ other clients, including separate accounts managed by either Subadviser. The Directors observed that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Manager was slightly lower than the average of the combined advisory and administration fees paid by funds in its peer group and that total expenses for the Fund were higher than the average of the funds in its peer group. The Directors noted that the management fee paid by the Fund was generally higher than the management fees paid by other clients of the Subadvisers for accounts with similar investment strategies, but that the administrative and operational responsibilities of the Subadvisers with respect to the Fund were also relatively higher. In light of this difference, the Directors concluded that the management fee paid by the Fund relative to the fees paid by the Subadvisers’ other clients was reasonable.
In evaluating the costs of the services to be provided by the Manager and Subadvisers under the New Agreements, the Directors considered, among other things, whether management fees or other expenses would change as a result of the Transaction. Based on
| | |
Western Asset Core Bond Fund | | 121 |
Board approval of new management and
new subadvisory agreements (unaudited) (cont’d)
their review of the materials provided and the assurances they had received from Franklin Templeton and Legg Mason, the Directors determined that the Transaction would not increase the total fees payable by the Fund for management services.
Taking all of the above into consideration, as well as the factors identified below, the Directors determined that the management fee and the subadvisory fees for the Fund were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund under the New Agreements.
The Directors received and considered an analysis of the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Directors also received profitability information with respect to the Legg Mason fund complex as a whole. In addition, the Directors received information with respect to the Manager’s allocation methodologies used in preparing this profitability data. It was noted that the allocation methodologies had been previously reviewed by an outside consultant. The profitability of the Manager and its affiliates was considered by the Directors not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund. The Directors noted that Western Asset does not have soft dollar arrangements.
The Directors considered, in light of the profitability information provided by the Manager and Western Asset, the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by the Advisers as the assets of the Fund grow. They further concluded that the 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, and noted that fee breakpoints had been implemented to capture a portion of any economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s shareholders. The Directors determined that the management fee structure for the Fund is reasonable.
The Directors noted that Franklin Templeton and Legg Mason are expected to realize cost savings from the Transaction based on synergies of operations, as well as to benefit from possible growth of the Fund resulting from enhanced distribution capabilities. However, they noted that other factors could also affect profitability and potential economies of scale, and that it was not possible to predict with any degree of certainty how the Transaction would affect the Advisers’ profitability from their relationship with the Fund, nor to quantify at this time any possible future economies of scale. The Directors noted they will have the opportunity to periodically re-examine such profitability and any economies of scale going forward.
The Directors further evaluated the benefits of the advisory relationship to the Manager and the Subadvisers, including, among others, the profitability of the relationship to the Manager and the Subadvisers, the direct and indirect benefits that the Manager and each Subadviser may receive from its relationship with the Fund, including any “fallout benefits,” such as reputational value derived from serving as investment manager or adviser to the
| | |
122 | | Western Asset Core Bond Fund |
Fund; and the affiliations between the Manager, the Subadvisers and certain service providers for the Fund. The Directors considered other benefits received by the Manager, the Subadvisers and their affiliates as a result of the opportunity to offer additional products and services to Fund shareholders.
In light of the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Fund and the ongoing commitment of the Manager and the Subadvisers to the Fund, the Directors considered that the ancillary benefits that the Manager and its affiliates received are reasonable. In evaluating the fall-out benefits to be received by the Manager and Subadvisers under the New Agreements, the Directors considered whether the Transaction would have an impact on the fall-out benefits received by virtue of the Current Agreements. The Board considered that Franklin Templeton may derive reputational and other benefits from its ability to use the Legg Mason investment affiliates’ names in connection with operating and marketing the Fund. The Board also considered that the Transaction, if completed, would significantly increase Franklin Templeton’s assets under management and expand Franklin Templeton’s investment capabilities.
Based upon their review, the Directors, including all of the Independent Directors, determined, in the exercise of their business judgment that they were generally satisfied with the quality of services being provided by the Manager and the Subadvisers, but they would continue to closely monitor the performance of the Manager and the Subadvisers. After consideration of all the factors and information, and in the exercise of their business judgment, the Directors, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the New Agreements, including the fees payable thereunder, were fair and reasonable and that entering into the New Agreements for the Fund was in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders and approved the New Agreements and recommended that shareholders approve the New Agreements.
