Notes to the Financial Statements as of 30 September 2010
1. Description of the Fund
Legg Mason Global Funds FCP (Luxembourg), (the ''Fund''), has been established in Luxembourg as an open-ended mutual investment fund under Luxembourg law.
The Fund is an Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) qualifying under Part I of the Luxembourg law of 20 December 2002.
The Fund is an umbrella fund insofar as the Fund is divided into different Sub-Funds, each representing a portfolio of assets (a ''Sub-Fund'').
Units in any particular Sub-Fund are divided into different classes to accommodate different subscription and redemption provisions and/or fees and charges to which they are subject to aswell as their availability to certain types of investors.
Class A Units which have an initial sales charge of up to 5% applied by the Intermediaries incur a lower management fee than Class B Units and Class C Units.
Class B Units which are not subject to any initial sales charge are subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (''CDSC'') (as described in the prospectus) and incur a higher managementfee than Class A Units. At the end of the period, no Class B Units have been issued.
Class C Units which have an initial sales charge of up to 2.5% applied by the Intermediaries incur a higher management fee than Class A Units.
Class I Units are only available to institutional investors and are not subject to any initial sales charges. They are subject to a management fee as determined by the Management Company.
Class M Units are not subject to any sales charges but incur a fee charged by the Administrator. Class M Units are specifically for use by Legg Mason Investment Managers, or at thediscretion of the Board of Directors of the Management Company.
Class P Units are available for investment at their Net Asset Value per unit with no initial sales charge and incur a lower management fee than Class A, B and C Units. However, investment inClass P is subject to a minimum subscription amount of USD 2 million or its near equivalent in any other freely convertible currency.
Each class may issue units with different distribution entitlements attached (''Sub-Class'': Ordinary Units or Distribution Units) and the units of each Sub-Class may be available forsubscription in different currencies (''Offering Currencies'').
As of 30 September 2010, the Fund is offering the following type of Investment Series, which is designed to meet different investors' needs. It provides several options that differ in terms ofrisk level and currency denomination.
The Equity Series is comprised of 3 Sub-Funds:
. Legg Mason Emerging Markets Equity Fund
The securities and other assets of the Fund are segregated from the assets of the Management Company and from the assets of other investment funds, which the Management Companymanages, and are managed by the Management Company in the interests of the Unitholders and on their behalf.
The Management Company may in the future create new Sub-Funds and Units classes.
The accounting year of the Fund ends on 31 March of each year. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Fund conform with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to investment funds. a) Foreign Currencies
The financial statements and accounting records of each Sub-Fund are expressed in the reference currency of the relevant Sub-Fund. Transactions in currencies other than the Sub-Fund'scurrency are translated into the Sub-Fund's currency based on the exchange rates in effect at the date of the transaction.
Assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Any resulting gains or losses are recognised in the Statement ofOperations and Changes in Net Assets under the heading ''Net realised gain / (loss) on sales of investments''.
Main exchange rates used as of 30 September 2010 are:
b) Investment Securities
Securities listed on an official exchange or dealt on another regulated market are valued on the basis of the last available price. If a security is quoted on different markets, the quotation ofthe main market for this security is used. Fixed income securities are valued on the basis of the latest available mid price on the relevant stock exchange or the mid price of last availablequotes from market makers that constitute the main market for such securities.
Non-listed securities and securities which are listed or dealt on a regulated market but in respect of which the last sales price is not representative of the fair value, are valued on the basis oftheir probable sales price as determined with prudence and in good faith by the Management Company.
Liquid assets, money market instruments and short term instruments (especially discount instruments) that have a maturity of less than 90 days are valued at their face value with interestaccrued or on an amortised cost basis. In the case of short term instruments (especially discount instruments) that have a maturity of less than 90 days, the value of the instrument based onthe net acquisition cost, is gradually adjusted to the repurchase price thereof while the investment return calculated on the net acquisition cost is kept constant. In the event of materialchanges in market conditions, the valuation basis of the investment is adjusted to the new market yields.
All other liquid assets are valued on the basis of their applicable market rates. Assets denominated in a currency other than the currency of denomination of a particular Sub-Class are re-valued using the applicable foreign exchange rate as set out in (a) above.
In the event of it being impossible or incorrect to carry out a valuation in accordance with the above rules owing to particular circumstances, such as hidden credit risk, the ManagementCompany is entitled to use other generally recognised valuation principles, which can be examined by the Auditor of the Fund in order to reach a proper valuation of the total assets of theFund.
The difference between the cost of securities and their market value on the balance sheet date is recognised in the Statement of Net Assets under the heading ''Unrealised appreciation /(depreciation)''.
Any change in the difference arising between the cost of securities held at the end of the period and their market value at that date is recognised in the Statement of Operations andChanges in Net Assets under the heading ''Net change in unrealised appreciation / (depreciation) on investments''.
Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Purchases of securities are recorded at cost including brokerage commissions.
Shares or units in underlying open-ended investment funds shall be valued at their latest available Net Asset Value, reduced by any applicable charges. c) Interest Income
Interest income includes interest applied to bonds and interest applied to bank accounts. It is accrued gross on a daily basis. Withholding tax is paid out of the gross income. d) Dividend Income
Dividends are accounted for on an ex-dividend basis net of any irrecoverable withholding tax. e) Realised Gains and Losses on Sales of Investments
Realised gains and losses comprise the profit or loss arising from disposal of securities during the period and differences arising on the revaluation of other assets and liabilities denominatedin foreign currencies.
Capital gains or losses are determined on the basis of the weighted average cost of the securities sold. f) Derivatives
Financial derivative instruments listed on an official exchange or dealt on another Regulated Market are valued on the basis of the last available price.
Financial derivative instruments which are not listed on any official stock exchange or traded on any other Regulated Market are valued in a reliable and verifiable manner on a daily basis inaccordance with market practice. Forward foreign exchange contracts
Outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts, if any, are valued at the closing date by reference to the forward exchange rate applicable to the outstanding life of the contract.
The unrealised appreciation or depreciation on open forward foreign exchange contracts is calculated as the difference between the contract rate and the forward rate at the close ofbusiness on valuation day. The unrealised appreciation or depreciation on such contracts is disclosed in the Statement of Net Assets under the heading ''Net unrealised appreciation /(depreciation) on forward foreign exchange contracts''.
The realised gain / (loss) on forward foreign exchange contracts is disclosed in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets under the heading ''Net realised gain / (loss) onforward foreign exchange contracts''. Future contracts
Outstanding future contracts, if any, are valued at the close of business market prices or the last available market price of the instruments.
The unrealised appreciation or depreciation on future contracts is included in the Statement of Net Assets under the heading ''Net unrealised appreciation / (depreciation) on futurecontracts''. All margins accounts are included in ''Futures margins and options deposits''.
The realised gain / (loss) on future contracts is disclosed in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets under the heading ''Net realised gain / (loss) on future contracts''. Option contracts
Outstanding option contracts, if any, are valued at the close of business market prices or the last available market price of the instruments.
The market value of option contracts is included in the Statement of Net Assets under the heading ''Options at market value''. All deposits accounts are included in ''Futures margins andoptions deposits''.
The realised gain / (loss) on option contracts is disclosed in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets under the heading ''Net realised gain / (loss) on option contracts''. Swap agreements
Outstanding swap agreements, if any, are valued at the close of business market prices or the last available market price of the instruments.
The unrealised appreciation or depreciation on swap agreements is included in the Statement of Net Assets under the heading ''Net unrealised appreciation / (depreciation) on swapagreements''. All accrued interest is included in ''Accrued interest on swap agreements''.
The realised gain / (loss) on swap agreements is disclosed in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets under the heading ''Net realised gain / (loss) on swap agreements''. g) Combined Figures
The combined Statement of Net Assets and the combined Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets are expressed in United States dollars (''USD'') and are presented forinformation purposes only.
For this purpose, the corresponding statements of each Sub-Fund have been translated into USD at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. h) Mortgage Related Securities - To Be Announced Securities (TBAs)
TBA positions refer to the common trading practice in the mortgage-backed securities market in which a security is to be bought from a mortgage pool (Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or FreddieMac) for a fixed price at a future date. At the time of purchase the exact security is not known, but the main characteristics of it are specified. Although the price has been established at thetime of purchase, the principal value has not been finalised.
Although a Sub-Fund will generally enter into TBA purchase commitments with the intention of acquiring securities, a Sub-Fund may also dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if it isdeemed appropriate to do so. Proceeds of TBA sales are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverablesecurities, or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment (deliverable on or before the sale commitment date), are held as cover for the transaction.
Negative positions reflect the Sub-Fund's sale commitments of TBAs. i) Repurchase Agreements and Reverse Repurchase Agreements
A repurchase agreement is an agreement under which, on payment of the purchase price, the Fund receives (purchases) securities from a seller who agrees to repurchase them at or within aspecified time at a specified price. A repurchase agreement is similar in effect to a loan by the Fund to the seller collateralised by the securities. The Fund does not record the purchase of thesecurities received but does record the repurchase agreement as if it were a loan. Because a repurchase agreement between the two specific parties involved is generally for a relatively shorttime and is not transferable, it has no ready market. The Fund carries repurchase agreements at cost, which, combined with accrued interest, approximates market value. j) Securities Lending
In accordance with the provisions set forth in CSSF Circular 08/356, each Sub-Fund may, in order to reduce risk, reduce cost and generate additional income enter into securities lendingtransactions through a standardised lending system organised by a recognised securities clearing institution or through a lending system organised by financial institution subject toprudential supervision rules considered by the CSSF as equivalent to those prescribed by Community law and that is specialised in this type of transaction. When entering into lendingtransactions, the Sub-Fund must receive a collateral of a value which is, during the lifetime of the agreement, at least equal to the global valuation of the securities lent given in the form ofliquid assets or in the form of securities issued or guaranteed by an OECD Country or by their local authorities or by supranational institutions and undertakings with EU, regional or world-wide scope and blocked in favour of the Sub-Fund until expiry of the securities lending transaction. The Sub-Fund may also receive as collateral shares issued by a first class issuer, included ina major local index and listed or dealt in a regulated market in a Member State of the EU or a stock exchange of a Member State of the OECD or any other eligible securities pursuant to theCSSF Circular 08/356. Securities lending transactions may not exceed 50% of the aggregate market value of the securities in the Sub-Fund. This limit shall not apply where the Sub-Fund hasthe right at any time to terminate the contract and obtain restitution of the securities lent. Securities lending transactions may not exceed a period of 30 days. The Sub-Fund may not lendsecurities which serve as underlying instruments linked to derivative financial instruments or which have been accepted within the framework of reverse repos. Securities used to providecover in respect of derivatives on an exchange rate or currency are not regarded as being linked to the said derivative. Cash collateral received by the Sub-Fund in relation to thesetransactions is reinvested.
Any incremental incomes arising from securities lending transactions entered into are accrued solely to the Sub-Funds which lent the securities.
As of 30 September 2010 the market value of the securities on loan is as follows:
Market Value of Securities on Sub-Fund Loan (USD) 19,594,511 3. Pooling and Co-Management of Assets
The Management Company may invest and manage all or any part of the portfolio of assets by using joint investment management techniques for the purpose of efficient portfoliomanagement. A Sub-Fund using joint investment management techniques transfers all or part of its assets to the pool (or Joint Investment Account) of assets, subject to such assets beingappropriate in respect of the investment policy of the pool concerned. In return, the Sub-Fund receives the notional pool units representing a certain pro rata of the pool's assets andliabilities. As of 30 September 2010, the investment holdings in the pools have been allocated to the Sub-Funds based on each Sub-Fund's ownership percentage in the pools at that date. Allquantities (securities holdings) are rounded to the nearest unit. In instances where quantities are shown as 0, a Sub-Fund's percentage allocation of a security may result in a fractional valueof less than 0.5.
For profit and loss purposes, the notional pool units held by the Sub-Fund determine the proportional allocation of the results, revenues and expenses of the pool on each net asset valuedate. The profit and loss allocation is recorded in the accounting records for the Sub-Fund. Co-managed assets are only co-managed with assets intended to be invested pursuant toinvestment objectives identical to those applicable to the co-managed assets in order to ensure that investment decisions are fully compatible with the investment policy of the Sub-Funds. Co-managed assets are only co-managed with assets for which the Custodian Bank is also acting as depository in order to ensure that the Custodian Bank is able, with respect to the Fund orSub-Funds, to fully carry out its functions and responsibilities pursuant to the law of 20 December 2002 on undertakings for collective investment. The Custodian Bank keeps at all times theFund's assets segregated from the assets of other co-managed entities and is therefore able at all times to identify the assets of the Fund and of each Sub-Fund. Since co-managed entitiesmay have investment policies, which are not strictly identical to the investment policy of a Sub-Fund, it is possible that, as a result, the common policy implemented may be more restrictivethan that of that Sub-Fund.
The Management Company may decide at any time and without notice, to terminate the co-management arrangement. 4. Custody, Transfer Agent and Administration Fees
An all-inclusive annual fee up to 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets is paid in relation to custody, transfer agency, registrar and administration services provided by CitibankInternational plc (Luxembourg Branch). The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly in arrears. 5. Management Fees
