Following the Morningstar OBSR Analyst Ratings Meeting on 7th May 2014, we have awarded the Legg Mason ClearBridge US Aggressive Growth fund a Morningstar OBSR Analyst Rating™ of Silver. The fund is co-managed by Richard Freeman and Evan Bauman who form part of the US-based investment firm ClearBridge, a subsidiary of Legg Mason. Mr Freeman is among the industry’s longest-tenured managers and has managed the strategy since its inception in 1983. He was joined by Evan Bauman in 1996, initially as an analyst on the fund and since April 2009 as co-manager. The managers adopt a long-term buy-and-hold approach, focusing on companies with high earnings growth rates which they believe are sustainable over the long term. The unconstrained approach has delivered consistent outperformance over most time periods and we believe the fund is an attractive offering for investors seeking US large-cap growth equity exposure.
