About the Investment Strategy

    The assets of the Legg Mason Western Asset Cash Trust are managed on a sub-advisory basis by Western Asset Management Company Pty Ltd ("Western Asset"), a subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc. and an affiliate of Legg Mason Australia.

    The investment process aims to provide a total return equivalent to at least the return of the UBS Australian Bank Bill Index. The portfolio is designed to ensure that:

    • deposits are readily accessible;
    • investments are highly liquid and low risk; and
    • returns have limited volatility.

This structure ensures that client portfolios benefit from consensus shaped by the expertise of all the team members.
