ClearBridge Investments, LLC claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). ClearBridge Investments, LLC ("ClearBridge") is a wholly- owned indirect subsidiary of Franklin Templeton, Inc. ("Franklin"), which acquired ClearBridge's former parent, Legg Mason, Inc., in July 2020. The firm's foundation and claim of GIPS compliance date back to January 1997 through predecessor firms associated with Citigroup Asset Management, which was acquired in 2005. Since combining its institutional and retail businesses into a single GIPS firm in June 2008, ClearBridge has expanded through the integration of Global Currents Investment Management (April 2013), ClearBridge, LLC ( January 2016), ClearBridge Investments Limited (May 2020), and the Equity Teams of Franklin Bissett Asset Management (January 2024). Most recently, the firm announced the integration of Martin Currie (MC) in 2025. For GIPS purposes, the business was organized into three distinct Strategies, MC Emerging Markets, MC Australian Equities, and MC UK Equities. MC Emerging Markets was completed in November 2025, MC UK Equities was completed in March 2026, and MC Australian Equities was completed in June 2026. GIPS compliance was claimed and ported individually for each MC team, where applicable.
