Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE? For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, Class A shares of BrandywineGLOBAL - Corporate Credit Fund returned 8.73%. The Fund compares its performance to the ICE BofA U.S. Corporate & High Yield Index and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) plus 3% annual risk premium, which returned 3.47% and 5.97%, respectively, for the same period. PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS Top contributors to performance: ↑ Selection in financial services, focused on non-bank issuers, with an overweight allocation relative to the index. ↑ Selection in energy and consumer goods, driven by active involvement with management around corporate restructuring and consolidation. ↑ Relative underweight duration position during a period where treasury yields rose significantly. Top detractors from performance: ↓ Negative selection in the leisure sector related to idiosyncratic risks in gaming. ↓ Negative selection in telecommunications as some issuers deal with near-term stresses. ↓ Selection within CCC & below rated credits, as the Fund did not own credits in the lowest decile portion of the high yield market, which was the strongest performing credit segment. | |
