The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in stocks, securities convertible into stocks, and other securities, such as warrants and stock rights, whose value is based on stock prices. The Fund typically invests most of its assets in securities of U.S. companies, but may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), including emerging market securities. The Fund may use futures contracts for hedging or investment purposes as a substitute for investing directly in securities. Use of derivatives by the Fund may create investment leverage. The Fund may at times have significant exposure to one or more industries or sectors. The Fund may hold a portion of its assets in cash or cash equivalents. Brandywine Global employs a bottom-up, value-based investment approach in selecting securities for the Fund. Brandywine Global invests in securities that meet its value criteria, primarily, price-to-earnings, price-to-book, price momentum, and share change and quality, based on both quantitative and fundamental analysis. Brandywine Global expects to hold approximately 175 250 stocks under normal market conditions. Brandywine Global invests in securities of companies that meet its value criteria based on both quantitative and fundamental analysis. Brandywine Globals investment process begins with a valuation screen that identifies large-capitalization stocks with favorable financial ratios. A quantitative deselection process is then applied to eliminate equities that have poor price momentum or high share issuance. Finally Brandywine Global performs a thorough fundamental analysis which seeks to identify and eliminate (de-select) companies with deteriorating fundamentals, anticipated earnings declines, or material write-offs. Brandywine Global may also consider additional factors in its selection process. Brandywine Global typically sells a security of a company when Brandywine Global believes it is no longer a large-capitalization value company, if the companys fundamentals deteriorate, when an investment opportunity arises that Brandywine Global believes is more compelling, or in order to realize gains or limit potential losses. However, Brandywine Global may retain securities of companies that no longer meet its initial purchase criteria. Show less
