LEGG MASON CLEARBRIDGE
US AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND
Richard Freeman
Managing director,
Portfolio manager
Evan Bauman
Managing director,
Portfolio manager
The fund seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation by investing in the
securities of US companies of any market capitalisation that the sub-investment
manager believes are experiencing, or have potential to experience, aboveaverage growth of earnings and/or cash flow.
Why the fund is different
With a strategy that has been in place for over 30 years and managed by the same
portfolio management team, the fund offers exceptional manager continuity,
which has proven successful across many different market cycles. Through a
bottom-up, fundamental-driven stock selection process, the fund invests in a
concentrated portfolio of US companies that the manager believes can grow
earnings and cash flow.

NEUBERGER BERMAN
US LONG SHORT EQUITY FUND
By using a flexible, fundamentally-driven approach to long-short investing, the
fund seeks to achieve equity-like returns with a focus on capital preservation.
Charles C. Kantor
Managing director
and senior portfolio manager
Why the fund is different
The fund seeks to outperform on both long and short positions and is
unconstrained by market capitalisation, sector or style. The portfolio is diversified
across 50+ long positions and 30+ individual short positions, with any unwanted
residual market risk hedged using futures. Overall, the fund typically retains a
long bias of between +30% and +60% net exposure and historically exhibited
around half the volatility of the equity market. The fund has daily liquidity and no
performance fees.
