ClearBridge Large Cap Value Strategy seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in high-quality, durable franchises with robust balance sheets, attractive cash generation, and disciplined valuations across full market cycles. During the third quarter of 2026, the strategy generated positive absolute returns but lagged the benchmark Russell 1000 Value Index. Relative performance was impaired by stock selection headwinds within information technology, health care, and materials, which outweighed positive selection in industrials and financials alongside favorable underweight sector allocations in real estate and consumer staples. Performance was additionally challenged by an index rebalance that drove a narrow, low-quality rally in speculative artificial intelligence and high-beta cyclical shares. In response, the portfolio management team rebalanced exposures toward higher-quality franchises, initiating positions in Nvidia and Coca-Cola, augmenting holdings in ExxonMobil, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft, while divesting from Chevron, PepsiCo, and Roche, maintaining valuation discipline across broader macro volatility.
Seek outperformance across full market cycles by investing in high-quality, durable franchises with defensible moats, strong balance sheets, and proven management teams purchased at disciplined valuations.
Management believes the current combination of narrow leadership, speculative momentum, and rapid multiple expansion among cyclical AI beneficiaries will not persist indefinitely. Whether economic growth accelerates or softens, the strategy is well-positioned: an accelerating economy will help durable franchises compound earnings and narrow their valuation discounts, while a slowing economy will highlight their balance-sheet strength, defensive earnings resilience, and downside protection.
