Global Multi-Sector Income and Global Opportunistic Fixed Income Win 2015 Asia Asset Management Awards

Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc. (NYSE: LM), announced today that the Brandywine Global Multi-Sector Income Strategy, managed by Gary Herbert, Regina Borromeo, Tracy Chen, and Brian Kloss, received the Best of the Best 3-Year Performance Award for Global Bonds, and the Brandywine Global Opportunistic Fixed Income Strategy, managed by David Hoffman, Steve Smith, and Jack McIntyre, received the Best of the Best 20-Year Performance Award for Global Bonds from Asia Asset Management.

Asia Asset Management’s performance awards recognize the most outstanding players in the fund management business in Asia. The performance awards are dedicated to measuring the accomplishments of each company based on the performance statistics of funds being managed. The top performer among each category is awarded for the last 3-, 10- and 20-year periods.

“We are very proud to have received this recognition of our macroeconomic research and ability to seek out value in the global fixed income market,” said David Hoffman, managing director and portfolio manager. “It speaks to the merit of our philosophy and strategies.”

Global Multi-Sector Income is a flexible fixed income strategy that targets consistent income levels while aiming to protect principal and seek modest total return. The Global Credit team adds rigorous bottom-up, proprietary credit research to their global fixed income investment process. As an example of this research, please feel free to read How Much is a Revolver Worth? on the Brandywine Global “Around the Curve” blog.

The Global Opportunistic Fixed Income strategy seeks global bond investments offering the best combination, in our view, of high real yield and attractive fundamentals given our macroeconomic outlook. This value-based strategy maintains a primary focus on sovereign debt with a goal of unlocking the potential performance benefits of mean-reversion tendencies in interest rates and currency valuations.
