LEGG MASON QS MV ASIA PACIFIC EX JAPAN EQUITY GROWTH AND INCOME FUND

The fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies of emerging Asian countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan and Sri Lanka across broadly diversified industries.
Christopher Floyd Portfolio manager
Why the fund is different An actively-managed fund that targets market beating long-term returns with below market risk using a managed volatility investment strategy. The expected benefits of the managed-volatility process include relatively favourable returns in down markets and better long-term, risk-adjusted returns compared to higher volatility strategies across different market environments. The fund’ s investment strategy of providing capital growth, income generation, and inflation protection, all in a volatility-controlled manner, can make it an attractive addition to a wide variety of investment portfolios.
