Risk Factors: Fluctuations in exchange rates can affect the value of the Fund and the income from it. The Fund may invest in 'non-investment grade' bonds, which carry a higher degree of default risk than 'investment grade' bonds and may have an increased potential to erode capital. Please refer to the Simplified Prospectus and Prospectus documentation for Legg Mason Institutional Funds plc, which describe the full risk factors associated with this Fund.
On 1 October, the above sub-fund changed from using the abbreviation 'WA' in the fund name (e.g. 'WA Emerging
Market Debt Fund') to 'Western Asset' (e.g. 'Western Asset Emerging Market Debt Fund').
The current prospectus in effect for France still refers to the old fund name, but will be updated shortly.
