Legg Mason Value Trust


Investment Objective:

Long-term growth of capital.

Investments:
The Fund invests primarily in large-cap equity securities. The Adviser follows a value discipline in selecting securities, and therefore seeks to purchase securities at large discounts to its assessment of the companies' intrinsic values. The Adviser takes a long-term approach to investing, generally characterized by long holdings periods and low portfolio turnover.
Inception Date:  
Institutional:December 1, 1994
Financial Intermediary:March 23, 2001

Performance Benchmark: S&P 500 Index

Total Fund Assets: $4.1 billion (as of 6/30/09)

Ticker Symbol:  
Institutional:LMNVX
Financial Intermediary:LMVFX
Investment Risks:
The value approach to investing involves the risk that those stocks deemed to be undervalued by the portfolio manager may remain undervalued. The Fund expects to hold a limited number of securities, and a decline in the value of these investments would cause the Fund's overall value to decline to a greater degree than a less concentrated portfolio. The Fund may focus investments in certain regions or industries, thereby increasing the potential vulnerability to market volatility.
