II		QS Asset Allocation Funds

Funds overview

QS Asset Allocation Funds (the “Asset Allocation Funds”) consists of four portfolio investment options (the “Funds”), each of which is a “fund of funds” that invests in other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The Asset Allocation Funds offer a mix of equity funds categorized according to average market capitalization (size), investing style (e.g., value, core or growth) and global exposure (e.g., U.S. and/or international stocks). The various options within the Asset Allocation Funds also offer a mix of bond asset classes, such as U.S. and foreign government debt, corporate bonds, high-yield debt and emerging market debt — each of which carries a varying degree of risk/reward potential. Each Fund is managed as an asset allocation program and seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its assets among the mutual funds and ETFs managed by the Funds’ manager, Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC, and its affiliates and ETFs managed by unaffiliated investment advisers (“underlying funds”). When selecting investments to fulfill a desired asset class exposure, the portfolio managers expect to allocate to Legg Mason-affiliated mutual funds and ETFs, provided that appropriate products are available.

Q. What were the overall market conditions during the Funds’ reporting period?

A.Trade tensions between the U.S. and China whipsawed markets and led to periods of increased volatility throughout 2019, and coronavirus fears led to a pullback in January 2020. Nevertheless, developed global equity markets returned 17.63% for the twelve-month reporting period ended January 31, 2020 as measured by the MSCI World Indexⁱ, with double digit returns in the U.S., Continental Europe and Japan. U.S. large capitalization stocks led the way, with the S&P 500 Indexⁱⁱ returning 21.68% for the reporting period.

2019 started off with a strong rebound in the first quarter, recovering most of the losses that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2018. Global equities across the board continued to rise during the second calendar quarter, but at a more tempered pace. Equity markets saw major selloffs in both May and August 2019, led by Chinese equities. Trade tensions between the U.S. and China remained elevated throughout the third calendar quarter, but improved prospects of a trade deal led to a Chinese equity surge in the fourth calendar quarter of 2019. In January 2020, global equity markets fell for the first time in five months — largely driven by the coronavirus outbreak, which led investors to a “risk off” sentiment. The U.S. and China signed the “phase one” trade deal during the month, but this had minimal impact on the markets as it had been announced in December of 2019.

Within the U.S., large cap equities strongly outperformed small cap equities for the reporting period, returning 21.68% versus 9.21%, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and Russell 2000 Indexⁱⁱⁱ, respectively. Large cap outperformance was driven by the rebound during the first quarter of 2019, when the S&P 500 Index returned 14%, one of its best quarterly performances in a decade. Abroad, developed markets outperformed emerging markets for the reporting period, returning 12.10% and 3.81% in the MSCI EAFE Index^iv and MSCI Emerging Markets Index^v, respectively. As noted, 2019 ended with a fourth quarter rally led by Chinese equities on the back of improved prospects of a trade deal with the U.S. Although U.S. economic data remained mixed, U.S. equities rose over 9% during the final quarter of 2019, as measured by both the S&P 500 Index and Russell 2000 Index, before the January 2020 downturn, when U.S. large cap equities were flat and small cap equities declined 3.21%.

Fixed income underperformed the global equity markets for the reporting period. Within that asset class, U.S. fixed income outperformed global fixed income, returning 9.64% and 6.58% as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index^vi and Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index^vii, respectively. The fixed income asset class was supported by the dovish activity of global central banks, which have been reducing interest rates. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”)viii cut interest rates by twenty-five basis pointsix twice in the third calendar quarter of 2019. In August 2019, the U.S.two-year toten-year yield differential inverted for the first time in over a decade, and the yield on the30-year Treasury dropped below 2% for the first time. The European Central Bankx announced additional stimulus in September 2019 and reduced the deposit rate to a record low of-0.5%. In October 2019, the Fed cut interest rates for the final time for the year and reduced its expectations of additional rate cuts. The Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index^xi rose 28.92% in 2019, largely driven by the decline in interest rates.

The yield on the U.S.ten-year Treasury fellforty-one basis points in January 2020 as a result of geopolitical tensions, the coronavirus outbreak and a weaker than expectednon-farm payrolls report. The month ended with the spread between the yields on the three-month Treasury andten-year Treasury again inverting.

Gold returned 19.94% for the reporting period, benefiting from the episodicrisk-off moments, most notably in the final month of the reporting period. Geopolitical concerns and dovish comments by the Fed supported the commodity.

Crude oil had a highly volatile 2019 and declined by 4.15% for the reporting period. The first half of 2019 saw oil prices on the upswing, driven by tighter global supply conditions, Venezuelan sanctions and outages, and escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran. Crude oil production declined during the third quarter of 2019, as drone attacks knocked out half of Saudi Arabia’s oil production, and prices continued to rise. 2019 ended with a 10.68% gain in crude oil prices during December 2019, as OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) and Russia agreed to production cuts, only to decline by 15.6% in January 2020; China is the world’s largest importer of crude oil, and the outlook for demand drastically declined due to the coronavirus.

Funds overview (cont’d)

Q. How did we respond to these changing market conditions?

A.For all four Funds, we employ a quantitative tactical strategy that over- and underweights certain allocations in the Funds in response to various market, economic and valuation conditions. These tactical views are updated on a quarterly basis. Throughout the reporting period we were generally overweight equities vs. investment grade fixed income as valuations measures and ourin-house index of leading economic indicators favored equities.

The Funds were also generally overweight high yield versus investment grade fixed income largely due to spread tightening and a consistently low equity volatility environment, which we believe favors high yield relative to investment grade bonds. Additionally, the Funds were generally overweight U.S. equities relative to investment grade bonds. This position was driven by relative valuation between the two asset classes and our view of leading economic indicators, which favored equities over fixed income.

QS Asset Allocation Funds 2020 Annual Report

QS Growth Fund

The Fund seeks capital appreciation. The Fund organizes its investments in underlying funds into two main asset classes: the equity class (equity securities of all types) and the fixed income class (fixed income securities of all types). The portfolio managers may invest across all asset classes and strategies. The portfolio managers will allocate between 70% to 100% of the Fund’s assets to underlying funds that invest in equity and equity-like strategies and between 0% to 30% of the Fund’s assets to underlying funds that invest in fixed income strategies. The portfolio managers may, however, allocate assets to any underlying funds in varying amounts in a manner consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund’s allocation to each asset class will be measured at the time of purchase and may vary thereafter as a result of market movements.

Performance review

For the twelve months ended January 31, 2020, Class A shares of QS Growth Fund, excluding sales charges, returned 10.09%. The Fund’s unmanaged benchmarks, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index and the Russell 3000 Index^xii, and the Growth Composite Benchmark^xiii returned 9.64%, 20.53% and 15.36%, respectively, over the same time frame. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Aggressive Growth Funds Category Average^xiv returned 13.93% for the same period.

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 and investment returns 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 recentmonth-end, please visit our website at www.leggmason.com/mutualfunds.

All share class returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions 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 portfolio managers periodically adjust the allocation of the Fund’s assets among different Legg Mason-affiliated mutual funds and ETFs and ETFs that are managed by unaffiliated investment advisers depending upon the portfolio managers’ outlook for the equity and bond markets in general, particular sectors of such markets and the performance outlook for the underlying funds. When selecting investments to fulfill a desired asset class exposure, the portfolio managers expect to allocate to Legg Mason-affiliated mutual funds and ETFs, provided that appropriate products are available. In assessing the equity and bond markets, the portfolio managers consider a broad range of market and economic trends and quantitative factors.

Total Annual Operating Expenses(unaudited)

As of the Fund’s current prospectus dated June 1, 2019, the gross total annual fund operating expense ratios for Class A, Class C, Class R and Class I shares were 1.28%, 1.96%, 2.18% and 0.99%, respectively.

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, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, to average net assets will not exceed 0.80% for Class A shares, 1.55% for Class C shares, 0.80% for Class R shares and 0.25% for Class I shares. Total annual fund operating expenses (after waiving fees and/or reimbursing expenses, as applicable) exceed the expense cap for each class as a result of acquired fund fees and expenses. These expense limitation arrangements cannot be terminated prior to December 31, 2021 without the Board of Trustees’ consent.

Funds overview (cont’d)

The manager is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class during the same fiscal year 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.

QS Asset Allocation Funds 2020 Annual Report

QS Moderate Growth Fund

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund organizes its investments in underlying funds into two main asset classes: the equity class (equity securities of all types) and the fixed income class (fixed income securities of all types). The portfolio managers may invest across all asset classes and strategies. The portfolio managers will allocate between 55% to 85% of the Fund’s assets to underlying funds that invest in equity and equity-like strategies and between 15% to 45% of the Fund’s assets to underlying funds that invest in fixed income strategies. The portfolio managers may, however, allocate Fund assets to any underlying funds in varying amounts in a manner consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund’s allocation to each asset class will be measured at the time of purchase and may vary thereafter as a result of market movements.

Q. What were the leading contributors to performance?

A.Taking into account the underlying fund returns and their weightings within the Funds, the leading contributor to absolute performance was in the U.S. large capitalization equities space. From an asset allocation perspective, an underweight to U.S. fixed income was the leading contributor.

In relative terms at the underlying manager level (i.e., relative to each underlying fund’s specific benchmark), the leading contributors to performance were Martin Curie Emerging Markets Fund, Western Asset Core Plus Bond Fund and Western Asset Macro Opportunities Fund.

Q. What were the leading detractors from performance?

A.On a relative return basis, the leading detractors from performance versus their respective benchmarks were QS Global Dividend Fund (which is designed with a lower beta^xxii and tends to underperform in up markets), QS Global Market Neutral Fund, BrandywineGLOBAL — Dynamic US Large Cap Value Fund, QS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund and ClearBridge Large Cap Growth Fund.

Q. Were there any significant changes to the Funds during the reporting period?

A.During the reporting period, we replaced BrandywineGLOBAL — Global Opportunities Bond Fund with BrandywineGLOBAL — Global Opportunities Bond Fund (USD Hedged).

Thank you for your investment in the QS Asset Allocation Funds. As always, we appreciate that you have chosen us to manage your assets and we remain focused on achieving the Funds’ investment goals.

RISKS: Equity securities are subject to market and price fluctuations. Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate, credit, inflation, and reinvestment risks. International investments are subject to certain risks of overseas investing including currency fluctuations, social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility; these risks are heightened for investments in emerging markets. Investments in small andmid-capitalization companies may involve a higher degree of risk and volatility than an investment in larger, more established companies. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls. High yield (“junk”) bonds are lower-rated issues and possess greater price volatility, illiquidity, and possibility of default than higher-rated, investment grade bonds. Each Fund, as anon-diversified fund, is permitted to invest a higher percentage of its assets in any one issuer than a diversified fund which may magnify the Fund’s losses from events affecting a particular issuer.

Each Fund is a fund of funds – it invests primarily in other funds – and is subject to the risks of the underlying funds in which it invests. There are additional risks and other expenses associated with investing in other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), rather than directly in portfolio securities. In addition to the Fund’s operating expenses, shareholders will indirectly bear the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. The Funds pay brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase and sale of shares of ETFs. In addition, each Fund indirectly bears its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying funds it invests in, including management fees and other expenses. These expenses are in addition to the expenses that each Fund bears directly in connection with its own operation. Certain underlying funds 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. Also, the portfolio managers may invest in underlying funds that have a limited performance history.

Because these Funds have exposure to both stocks and bonds through the underlying funds in which they invest, the Funds may underperform stock funds when stocks are in favor and underperform bond funds when bonds are in favor. Each underlying fund may engage in active and frequent trading, resulting in higher portfolio turnover and transaction costs. This may lead to the distribution of higher capital gains to shareholders, increasing their tax liability. Certain of the underlying funds may sell securities short. Unlike the possible loss on a security that is purchased, there is no limit on the amount of loss on an appreciating security that is sold short. Please see each Fund’s prospectus for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and the Funds’ 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.

The information provided is not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results or investment advice. Views expressed may differ from those of the firm as a whole.

Funds expenses(unaudited)

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, includingfront-end andback-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 August 1, 2019 and held for the six months ended January 31, 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 asfront-end orback-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.

Assumes the reinvestment of all distributions, including returns of capital, if any, at net asset value and does not reflect the deduction of the applicable sales charge with respect to Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) with respect to Class C shares. Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the total return for the year. 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.

³	Does not include fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests.

⁴

Expenses (net of compensating balance arrangements, fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) are equal to each class’ respective annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (184), then divided by 365.

The financial statements and financial highlights for the Underlying Funds are presented in a separate shareholder report for each respective Underlying Fund.

The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds 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.Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each Underlying Fund on the day of valuation. 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. 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 inopen-end funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each fund on the day of valuation. When the Funds hold securities or other assets that are denominated in a foreign currency, the Funds 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 each Fund calculates its net asset value, the Funds value these securities as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees.

The Board of Trustees 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 Trustees, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the Funds’ pricing policies, and reporting to the Board of Trustees. When determining the reliability of third party pricing information for investments owned by the Funds, 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. Additionally, if the closing net asset value per share for an Underlying Fund is not available on the day of valuation, the Valuation Committee may adjust the Underlying Fund’s last available net asset value per share to account for significant events that have occurred subsequent to the Underlying Fund’s last net asset value per share calculation but prior to the day of valuation.

QS Asset Allocation Funds 2020 Annual Report

Notes to financial statements (cont’d)

For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, 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 Trustees quarterly.

The Funds use 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.

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 Funds’ 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 Funds’ assets carried at fair value:

(b) Fund of funds risk.The cost of investing in the Funds, as funds of funds, may be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that only invests directly in individual securities. An Underlying Fund may change its investment objective or policies without the Funds’ approval, which could force the Funds to withdraw their investments from such Underlying Fund at a time that is unfavorable to the Funds. In addition, one Underlying Fund may buy the same securities that another Underlying Fund sells. Therefore, the Funds would indirectly bear the costs of these trades without accomplishing any investment purpose.

(c) Foreign investment risks.The Underlying Funds’ investments in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities may be denominated in foreign currencies, may require settlement in foreign currencies or pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Underlying Funds. Foreign investments may also subject the Underlying Funds to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments.

(d) Security transactions and investment income.Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Net investment income distributions, if any, from the Underlying Funds are recorded on theex-dividend date as investment income. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Short-term and long-term capital gain distributions, if any, from the Underlying Funds are recorded on theex-dividend date as realized gains. The character of certain distributions received from the Underlying Funds may represent a return of capital. The Funds determine the components of these distributions subsequent to theex-dividend date, based on the actual tax character reported by the Underlying Funds. These distributions are recorded by adjusting the cost basis of the related Underlying Fund. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method.

(e) Distributions to shareholders.The Growth and Moderate Growth Funds distribute net investment income and capital gains, if any, at least annually. The Conservative Growth and Defensive Growth Funds distribute net investment income quarterly and capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders of the Funds are recorded on theex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

(f) Share class accounting.Investment income, common expenses and realized/unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated to the various classes of each Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that share class.

(g) Compensating balance arrangements.The Funds have an arrangement with their custodian bank whereby a portion of the custodian’s fees is paid indirectly by credits earned on the Funds’ cash on deposit with the bank.

(h) Federal and other taxes.It is the Funds’ 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 Funds intend to distribute their 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 Funds’ financial statements.

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of January 31, 2020, no provision for income tax is 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.

Notes to financial statements (cont’d)

(i) 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. During the current year, the Funds had no reclassifications.

2. Investment management agreement and other transactions with affiliates

Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC (“LMPFA”) is each Fund’s investment manager and QS Investors, LLC (“QS Investors”) is each Fund’s subadviser. Western Asset Management Company, LLC (“Western Asset”) manages the portion of each Fund’s cash and short-term instruments allocated to it. LMPFA, QS Investors and Western Asset are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”). Under the investment management agreements, the Funds do not pay a management fee.

LMPFA provides administrative and certain oversight services to the Funds. LMPFA delegates to the subadviser theday-to-day portfolio management of the Funds, except for the management of the portion of each Fund’s cash and short-term instruments allocated to Western Asset.

As a result of expense limitation arrangements between the Funds and LMPFA, the ratio of total annual fund operating expenses, other than interest, brokerage, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, to average net assets of Class A, Class C, Class R and Class I shares of Growth Fund, Moderate Growth Fund and Conservative Growth Fund did not exceed 0.80%, 1.55%, 0.80% and 0.25%, respectively. Additionally, the ratio of total annual fund operating expenses, other than interest, brokerage, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, to average net assets of Class A, Class C, Class C1, Class R and Class I shares of Defensive Growth Fund did not exceed 0.80%, 1.55%, 1.25%, 0.80% and 0.25%, respectively. These expense limitation arrangements cannot be terminated prior to December 31, 2021 without the Board of Trustees’ consent.

During the year ended January 31, 2020, fees waived and/or reimbursed were as follows:


Growth Fund	$	425
Moderate Growth Fund		488
Conservative Growth Fund		291
Defensive Growth Fund		1,040

LMPFA is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class during the same fiscal year 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 Funds, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding the expense cap or any other lower limit then in effect.

The Funds indirectly pay management and/or administration fees to LMPFA and other wholly-owned subsidiaries of Legg Mason as a shareholder in the Underlying Funds. These management and/or administration fees ranged from 0.40% to 1.15% of the average daily net assets of the Underlying Funds.

Legg Mason Investor Services, LLC (“LMIS”), a wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Legg Mason, serves as the Funds’ sole and exclusive distributor.

For Growth Fund, Moderate Growth Fund and Conservative Growth Fund, there is a maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% for Class A shares. For Defensive Growth Fund, there is a maximum initial sales charge of 4.25% for Class A shares. Class C and Class C1 shares of the Funds have a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”), which applies if redemption occurs within 12 months from purchase payment. In certain cases, Class A shares of the Funds 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 the funds sold by LMIS, equal or exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate. These purchases do not incur an initial sales charge.

For the year ended January 31, 2020, sales charges retained by and CDSCs paid to LMIS and its affiliates, if any, were as follows:


	Sales Charges		CDSCs
	Class A		Class A		Class C
Growth Fund		$192,102		$1,483		$197

10. Recent accounting pronouncement

The Funds have adopted the disclosure provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards UpdateNo. 2018-13,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement(“ASU2018-13”) which introduces new fair value disclosure requirements as well as eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements.ASU 2018-13 would be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years; however, management has elected to early adopt ASU2018-13. The impact of the Funds’ adoption was limited to changes in the Funds’ financial statement disclosures regarding fair value, primarily those disclosures related to transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

(“Legg Mason”) announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement for Franklin Resources to acquire Legg Mason in anall-cash transaction. As part of this transaction, the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Manager”), currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Legg Mason, would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources. 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 later this year.

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of the Funds’ investment management contract with the Manager, and any relatedsub-advisory contract(s), where applicable. Therefore, the Funds’ Board is expected to be asked to approve a new investment management contract between each Fund and the Manager (and a newsub-advisory contract(s), if applicable). If approved by the Board, the new investment management contract (and the newsub-advisory contract(s), if applicable) is expected to be presented to the shareholders of each Fund for their approval.

QS Asset Allocation Funds 2020 Annual Report

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

To the Board of Trustees of Legg Mason Partners Equity Trust and Shareholders of QS Growth Fund, QS Moderate Growth Fund, QS Conservative Growth Fund and QS Defensive Growth Fund

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of QS Growth Fund, QS Moderate Growth Fund, QS Conservative Growth Fund and QS Defensive Growth Fund (four of the funds constituting Legg Mason Partners Equity Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of January 31, 2020, the related statements of operations for the year ended January 31, 2020, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of January 31, 2020, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The financial statements of the Funds as of and for the year ended January 31, 2017 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to January 31, 2017 (not presented herein, other than the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 17, 2017 expressed unqualified opinions on those financial statements and financial highlights.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent of the investee funds. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

QS Asset Allocation Funds 2020 Annual Report

Board approval of management and

subadvisory agreements (unaudited)

QS Growth Fund

At a meeting of the Trust’s Board of Trustees, the Board considered there-approval for an annual period of the management agreement pursuant to which Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC (the “Manager”) provides the Fund with investment advisory and administrative services, thesub-advisory agreement pursuant to which QS Investors, LLC (“QS Investors”) providesday-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio, and thesub-advisory agreement pursuant to which Western Asset Management Company, LLC (“Western Asset” and, together with QS Investors, the“Sub-Advisers”) providesday-to-day management of the Fund’s cash and short-term instruments allocated to it by the Manager. (The management agreement andsub-advisory agreements are collectively referred to as the “Agreements.”) The Manager and theSub-Advisers are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Legg Mason, Inc. The Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”)) of the Fund were assisted in their review by Fund counsel and independent legal counsel and met with independent legal counsel in executive sessions separate from representatives of the Manager and theSub-Advisers. The Independent Trustees requested and received information from the Manager and theSub-Advisers they deemed reasonably necessary for their review of the Agreements and the performance of the Manager and theSub-Advisers. Included was information about the Manager, theSub-Advisers and the Fund’s distributor, as well as the management,sub-advisory and distribution arrangements and services provided to the Fund and other funds overseen by the Board. This information was initially reviewed by a special committee of the Independent Trustees and then by the full Board.

In voting to approve the Agreements, the Independent Trustees considered whether the approval of the Agreements would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders, an evaluation based on several factors including those discussed below.

Nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the fund under the management agreement andsub-advisory agreements

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Manager and theSub-Advisers under the Management Agreement andSub-Advisory Agreements, respectively, during the past year. The Trustees also considered the Manager’s supervisory activities over theSub-Advisers. In addition, the Independent Trustees received and considered other information regarding the administrative and other services rendered to the Fund and its shareholders by the Manager. The Board noted information received at regular meetings throughout the 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 theSub-Advisers and the Fund’s other service providers. The Board’s evaluation of the services provided by the Manager and theSub-Advisers took into account the Board’s knowledge and familiarity gained as Trustees of funds in the Legg Mason fund complex, including the scope and quality of the investment management and other capabilities of the Manager and theSub-Advisers and the quality of the Manager’s administrative and other services. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Manager had expanded over time as a result of regulatory and other developments, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the Fund’s compliance programs. The Board reviewed information received from the Manager and the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding the Fund’s compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule38a-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the Fund’s senior personnel and the portfolio management team primarily responsible for theday-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. The Board considered the services provided to the Legg Mason fund complex and the Manager’s commitment to continue to provide effective and efficient investment management and shareholder services. The Board also considered, based on its knowledge of the Manager and the Manager’s affiliates, the financial resources available to the Manager’s parent organization, Legg Mason, Inc.

The Board considered the division of responsibilities among the Manager and theSub-Advisers and the oversight provided by the Manager. The Board also considered the brokerage policies and practices of the Manager and QS Investors, the standards applied in seeking best execution, their policies and practices regarding soft dollars, and the existence of quality controls applicable to brokerage allocation procedures. In addition, management also reported to the Board on, among other things, its business plans, recent organizational changes, portfolio manager compensation plan and policy regarding portfolio managers’ ownership of fund shares.

QS Asset Allocation Funds

The Board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) under the respective Agreement by the Manager and theSub-Advisers.

Fund performance

The Board received and reviewed performance information for the Fund and for all retail and institutional mixed-asset target allocation aggressive growth funds (i.e., funds that maintain at least 80% of assets in equity securities, with the remainder invested in bonds, cash and cash equivalents) (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology Broadridge used to determine the similarity of the Fund with the funds included in the Performance Universe. The Trustees noted that they also had received and discussed with management at periodic intervals information on the investment performance of the Fund in comparison to similar mutual funds and benchmark performance indices. The information comparing the Fund’s performance to that of the Performance Universe was for theone-, three-, five- andten-year periods ended June 30, 2019. The Fund performed below the median performance of the funds in the Performance Universe for each period. The Board reviewed performance information provided by the Manager for periods ended September 30, 2019, which showed that the Fund’s performance was below the Broadridge category average during the third quarter. The Board also reviewed information prepared by Broadridge comparing the Fund’s annualized total return for the three-year period ended June 30, 2019 in relation to the Fund’s standard deviation to that of the funds in the Performance Universe. The Trustees then discussed with representatives of management the portfolio management strategy of the Fund’s portfolio managers and the reasons for the Fund’s underperformance versus the Performance Universe during the periods under review. The Trustees noted that the Manager and QS Investors were committed to providing the resources necessary to assist the Fund’s portfolio managers. Based on its review, the Board determined to continue to evaluate the Fund’s performance and directed the Independent Trustees’ performance committee to continue to periodically review Fund performance with the Manager and report to the full Board.

Expense ratios

The Board noted that the Fund bears indirectly its pro rata share of the expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests, including management fees payable by such underlying funds to the Manager or its affiliates. The Board noted that there is no management fee payable by the Fund to the Manager orsub-investment advisory fees payable by the Fund to theSub-Advisers.

The Board received an analysis of complex-wide management fees provided by the Manager, which, among other things, set out a framework of fees based on asset classes. Management also discussed with the Board the Fund’s distribution arrangements, including how amounts received by the Fund’s distributor are expended, and the fees received and expenses incurred in connection with such arrangements by affiliates of the Manager.

Additionally, the Board received and considered information comparing the Fund’s overall expense ratio with those of a group of institutional affiliated funds of funds consisting of ten mixed-asset target allocation aggressive growth funds selected by Broadridge as comparable to the Fund (the “Expense Group”), and a broader group of funds selected by Broadridge consisting of all institutional affiliated mixed-asset target allocation aggressive growth funds of funds (the “Expense Universe”). This information showed that the Fund’s total expense ratio was slightly lower than the median, before including underlying fund expenses, and was higher than the median, after including underlying fund expenses, of the total expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Group and was slightly lower than the median, after including underlying fund expenses, of the total expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Universe.

Manager profitability

The Board received and considered a profitability analysis of the Manager and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Board also received profitability information with respect to the Legg Mason fund complex as a whole. In addition, the Board received information with respect to the Manager’s allocation methodologies used in preparing this profitability data as well as a report from an outside consultant that had reviewed the Manager’s methodology. The Board noted the profitability percentage ranges determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment companies. The Board determined that the Manager’s profitability was not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund.

Economies of scale

The Board received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund as the Fund’s assets grow, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund were being passed along to the shareholders.

The Board noted that to the extent the Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund and its shareholders should realize economies of scale as certain expenses, such as fixed fund fees, become a smaller percentage of overall assets. The Board noted that it appeared that the benefits of any economies of scale also would be appropriately shared with shareholders through increased investment in fund management and administration resources.

Taking all of the above into consideration, the Board determined that the Fund’s expense ratio was reasonable in light of the comparative performance and expense information and the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Agreements.

Other benefits to the manager

The Board considered other benefits received by the Manager and its affiliates, including theSub-Advisers, as a result of the Manager’s relationship with the Fund, including the opportunity to offer additional products and services such as 529 College Savings Plans and retail managed accounts.

In light of the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Fund and the Manager’s ongoing commitment to the Fund, the profits and other ancillary benefits that the Manager and its affiliates received were considered reasonable.

Based on their discussions and considerations, including those described above, the Trustees approved the Management Agreement and theSub-Advisory Agreements to continue for another year.

No single factor reviewed by the Board was identified by the Board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Management Agreement and theSub-Advisory Agreements.

(“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology Broadridge used to determine the similarity of the Fund with the funds included in the Performance Universe.

The information comparing the Fund’s performance to that of the Performance Universe was for theone-, three-, five- andten-year periods ended June 30, 2019. The Fund performed better than the median performance of the funds in the Performance Universe for theten-year period, but performed below the median performance of the funds in the Performance Universe for theone-, three- and five-year periods, respectively. The Board reviewed performance information provided by the Manager for periods ended September 30, 2019, which showed that the Fund’s performance was below the Broadridge category average during the third quarter. The Board also reviewed information prepared by Broadridge comparing the Fund’s annualized total return for the three-year period ended June 30, 2019 in relation to the Fund’s standard deviation to that of the funds in the Performance Universe. The Trustees then discussed with representatives of management the portfolio management strategy of the Fund’s portfolio managers and the reasons for the Fund’s underperformance versus the Performance Universe during certain of the periods under review. The Trustees noted that the Manager and QS Investors were committed to providing the resources necessary to assist the Fund’s portfolio managers. Based on its review, the Board generally was satisfied with the Fund’s long-term performance record. The Board determined to continue to evaluate the Fund’s performance and directed the Independent Trustees’ performance committee to continue to periodically review Fund performance with the Manager and report to the full Board.

Expense ratios

Additionally, the Board received and considered information comparing the Fund’s overall expense ratio with those of a group of institutional affiliated funds of funds consisting of 14 mixed-asset target allocation growth funds selected by Broadridge as comparable to the Fund (the “Expense Group”), and a broader group of funds selected by Broadridge consisting of all institutional affiliated mixed-asset target allocation growth funds of funds (the “Expense Universe”). This information showed that the Fund’s total expense ratio was lower than the median, before including underlying fund expenses, and was slightly higher than the median, after including underlying fund expenses, of the total expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Group and was slightly lower than the median, after including underlying fund expenses, of the total expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Universe.
