1. Organization and significant accounting policies
Franklin Templeton Aggressive Model Portfolio (“Aggressive Model Portfolio”), Franklin Templeton Moderately Aggressive Model Portfolio (“Moderately Aggressive Model Portfolio”), Franklin Templeton Moderate Model Portfolio (“Moderate Model Portfolio”), Franklin Templeton Moderately Conservative Model Portfolio (“Moderately Conservative Model Portfolio”) and Franklin Templeton Conservative Model Portfolio (“Conservative Model Portfolio”) (collectively, the “Portfolios”) are separate diversified investment series of Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust, a Maryland statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Portfolios invest in insurance-dedicated mutual funds that have been selected by New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation (“NYLIAC”) as investment options for use with their variable annuity and variable universal life insurance policies, noninsurance-dedicated mutual funds and exchange traded funds (“Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds include funds managed by investment advisers that are not affiliated with Franklin Resources, Inc. (“Franklin Resources”) and funds managed by Franklin Resources affiliated investment advisers. Shares of the Portfolios are offered to variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts established by NYLIAC.
Shares of the Portfolios may only be purchased or redeemed through variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies issued by NYLIAC through their separate accounts.
The Portfolios follow the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolios and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including, but not limited to, ASC 946. Estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.
(a) Investment valuation.Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each Underlying Fund on the day of valuation. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. The valuations for fixed income securities (which may include, but are not limited to, corporate, government, municipal, mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities) and certain derivative instruments are typically the prices supplied by independent third party pricing services, which may use market prices or broker/dealer quotations or a variety of valuation techniques and methodologies. The independent third party pricing services typically use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar securities. Investments in open-end funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each fund on the day of valuation. When the Portfolios hold securities or other assets that are denominated in a foreign currency, the Portfolios will normally use the currency exchange rates as of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). If independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices for a portfolio investment, or if the prices supplied are deemed by the manager to be unreliable, the market price may be determined by the manager using quotations from one or more broker/dealers or at the transaction price if the security has recently been purchased and no value has yet been obtained from a pricing service or pricing broker. When reliable prices are not readily available, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before each Portfolio calculates its net asset value, the Portfolios value these securities as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Portfolios’ Board of Trustees (the Board).
Pursuant to policies adopted by the Board, the Portfolios’ manager has been designated as the valuation designee and is responsible for the oversight of the daily valuation process. The Portfolios’ manager is assisted by the Global Fund Valuation Committee (the Valuation Committee). The Valuation Committee is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the Portfolios’ pricing policies, and reporting to the Portfolios’ manager and the Board. When determining the reliability of third party pricing information for investments owned by the Portfolios, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of pricing vendors, monitors the daily change in prices and reviews transactions among market participants.
The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making fair value determinations. Examples of possible methodologies include, but are not limited to, multiple of earnings; discount from market of a similar freely traded security; discounted cash-flow analysis; book value or a multiple thereof; risk premium/yield analysis; yield to maturity; and/or fundamental investment analysis. The Valuation Committee will also consider factors it deems relevant and appropriate in light of the facts and circumstances. Examples of possible factors include, but are not limited to, the type of security; the issuer’s financial statements; the purchase price of the security; the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase; analysts’ research and observations from financial institutions; information regarding any transactions or offers with respect to the security; the existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting the security; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or

28
Franklin Templeton Model Portfolio Funds 2025 Semi-Annual Report

comparable companies; and the existence of a shelf registration for restricted securities. Additionally, if the closing net asset value per share for an Underlying Fund is not available on the day of valuation, the Valuation Committee may adjust the Underlying Fund’s last available net asset value per share to account for significant events that have occurred subsequent to the Underlying Fund’s last net asset value per share calculation but prior to the day of valuation.
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such back testing monthly and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board quarterly.
The Portfolios use valuation techniques to measure fair value that are consistent with the market approach and/or income approach, depending on the type of security and the particular circumstance. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to discount estimated future cash flows to present value.
GAAP establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolios’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Portfolios’ assets carried at fair value:

See Schedule of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.
(b) Fund of funds risk.The cost of investing in the Portfolios, as funds of funds, may be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that only invests directly in individual securities. An Underlying Fund may change its investment objective or policies without the Portfolios’ approval, which could force the Portfolios to withdraw their investments from such Underlying Fund at a time that is unfavorable to the Portfolios. In addition, one Underlying Fund may buy the same securities that another Underlying Fund sells. Therefore, the Portfolios would indirectly bear the costs of these trades without accomplishing any investment purpose.
(c) Security transactions and investment income.Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Net investment income distributions, if any, from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date as investment income. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Short-term and long-term capital gain distributions, if any, from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date as realized gains. The character of certain distributions received from the Underlying Funds may represent a return of capital. The Portfolios determine the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based on the actual tax character reported by the Underlying Funds. These distributions are recorded by adjusting the cost basis of the related Underlying Fund. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method.
(d) Distributions to shareholders.Distributions from net investment income and distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared at least annually. Distributions to shareholders of the Portfolios are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(e) Share class accounting.Investment income, common expenses and realized/unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated to the various classes of the Portfolios on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that share class.
(f) Compensating balance arrangements.The Portfolios had an arrangement with their custodian bank whereby a portion of the custodian’s fees was paid indirectly by credits earned on the Portfolios’ cash on deposit with the bank. Effective April 1, 2025, credits earned, if any, are recognized as income.
(g) Federal and other taxes.It is the Portfolios’ policy to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Portfolios intend to distribute their taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders in accordance with timing requirements imposed by the Code. Therefore, no federal or state income tax provision is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements.
Management has analyzed the Portfolios’ tax positions taken on income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of December 31, 2024, no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements.  The Portfolios’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
(h) Reclassification.GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassifiedto reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
2. Investment management agreement and other transactions with affiliates
Franklin Templeton Fund Adviser, LLC (FTFA) is each Portfolio’s investment manager. Franklin Advisers, Inc. (“Franklin Advisers”) is each Portfolio’s subadviser. Western Asset Management Company, LLC (“Western Asset”) manages the portion of each Portfolio’s cash and short-term instruments allocated to it. FTFA, Franklin Advisers and Western Asset are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Franklin Resources.
Under the investment management agreement, each Portfolio pays an investment management fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate that decreases as assets increase, as follows: 0.13% of assets up to and including $1 billion, 0.11% of assets over $1 billion and up to and including $1.5 billion, 0.09% of assets over $1.5 billion and up to and including

31
Franklin Templeton Model Portfolio Funds 2025 Semi-Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (cont’d)
$2 billion, 0.08% of assets over $2 billion and up to and including $3.5 billion, 0.07% of assets over $3.5 billion and up to and including $5 billion and 0.06% of assets over $5 billion. For purposes of determining the effective management fee rate, the net assets of each Portfolio are aggregated.
FTFA provides administrative and certain oversight services to the Portfolios. FTFA delegates to the subadviser the day-to-day portfolio management of the Portfolios, except for the management of the portion of each Portfolio’s cash and short-term instruments allocated to Western Asset. For its services, FTFA pays Franklin Advisers a fee monthly, at an annual rate equal to 70% of the net management fee it receives from each Portfolio. For Western Asset’s services to the Portfolios, FTFA pays Western Asset monthly 0.02% of the portion of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets that are allocated to Western Asset by FTFA.
The Portfolios indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses from the Underlying Funds. Since the Underlying Funds have varied expense levels and the Portfolios may own different proportions of the Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of expenses incurred indirectly by the Portfolios will vary.
As a result of expense limitation arrangements between the Portfolios and FTFA, the ratio of total annual fund operating expenses, other than interest, brokerage, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses (fees and expenses of Underlying Funds), to average net assets of Class I and Class II shares of Aggressive Model Portfolio, Moderately Conservative Model Portfolio and Conservative Model Portfolio did not exceed 0.23% and 0.48%, respectively. Additionally, the ratio of total annual fund operating expenses, other than interest, brokerage, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses (fees and expenses of Underlying Funds), to average net assets of Class I and Class II shares of Moderately Aggressive Model Portfolio and Moderate Model Portfolio did not exceed 0.21% and 0.46%, respectively. These expense limitation arrangements cannot be terminated prior to December 31, 2026 without the Board’s consent.
FTFA is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or expenses reimbursed to a class during the same fiscal year if the class’ total annual fund operating expenses have fallen to a level below the expense limitation (“expense cap”) in effect at the time the fees were earned or the expenses incurred. In no case will FTFA recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the Portfolios, in the class’ total annual fund operating expenses exceeding the expense cap or any other lower limit then in effect.
In addition, the Portfolios indirectly pay management and/or administration fees to certain FTFA affiliates as shareholders in FTFA affiliated Underlying Funds. These management and/or administration fees ranged from 0.45% to 0.68% of the average daily net assets of such FTFA affiliated Underlying Funds.
Franklin Distributors, LLC (“Franklin Distributors”) serves as the Portfolios’ sole and exclusive distributor. Franklin Distributors is an indirect, wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Franklin Resources. Franklin Templeton Investor Services, LLC (“Investor Services”) serves as the Portfolios’ shareholder servicing agent and acts as the Portfolios’ transfer agent and dividend-paying agent. Investor Services is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources. Each class of shares of the Portfolios pays transfer agent fees to Investor Services for its performance of shareholder servicing obligations. Investor Services charges account-based fees based on the number of individual shareholder accounts, as well as a fixed percentage fee based on the total account-based fees charged. In addition, each class reimburses Investor Services for out of pocket expenses incurred. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, each portfolio incurred transfer agent fees as reported on the Statements of Operations, of which $16 was earned by Investor Services, respectively.
All officers and one Trustee of the Trust are employees of Franklin Resources or its affiliates and do not receive compensation from the Trust.

9. Redemption facility
The Portfolios, together with other U.S. registered and foreign investment funds (collectively, the “Borrowers”) managed by Franklin Resources or its affiliates, are borrowers in a joint syndicated senior unsecured credit facility totaling $2.995 billion (the “Global Credit Facility”). The Global Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the ability to meet future unanticipated or unusually large redemption requests. Unless renewed, the Global Credit Facility will terminate on January 30, 2026.
Under the terms of the Global Credit Facility, the Portfolios shall, in addition to interest charged on any borrowings made by the Portfolios and other costs incurred by the Portfolios, pay its share of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the implementation and maintenance of the Global Credit Facility, based upon its relative share of the aggregate net assets of all the Borrowers, including an annual commitment fee of 0.15% based upon the unused portion of the Global Credit Facility. These fees are reflected in the Statement of Operations. The Portfolios did not utilize the Global Credit Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
10. Deferred capital losses
As of December 31, 2024, Moderate Model Portfolio, Moderately Conservative Model Portfolio and Conservative Model Portfolio had deferred capital losses of $10,339,312, $12,976,956 and $14,036,561 respectively, which have no expiration date, that will be available to offset future taxable capital gains.
11. Operating segments
The Portfolios have adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The update is limited to disclosure requirements and does not impact the Portfolios’ financial position or results of operations.
The Portfolios operate as a single operating segment, which is an investment portfolio. The Portfolios’ Investment Manager serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), evaluating fund-wide results and performance under a unified investment strategy. The CODM uses these measures to assess fund performance and allocate resources effectively. Internal reporting provided to the CODM aligns with the accounting policies and measurement principles used in the financial statements.
For information regarding segment assets, segment profit or loss, and significant expenses, refer to the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the Statements of Operations, along with the related Notes to Financial Statements. The Portfolios’ Schedule of Investments provides details of the Portfolios’ investments that generate returns such as interest, dividends, and realized and unrealized gains or losses. Performance metrics, including portfolio turnover and expense ratios, are disclosed in the Financial Highlights.

Board Approval of Management and
Subadvisory Agreements (unaudited)
Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Trust
 — Franklin Templeton Aggressive Model Portfolio
At an in-person meeting of the Board of Trustees of Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Trust (the “Trust”) held on May 6-7, 2025, the Board, including the Trustees who are not considered to be “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), approved for an annual period the continuation of the management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between the Trust and Franklin Templeton Fund Adviser, LLC (the “Manager”) with respect to Franklin Templeton Aggressive Model Portfolio, a series of the Trust (the “Fund”), and the sub-advisory agreement pursuant to which Franklin Advisers, Inc. (“Franklin Advisers”) provides day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio, and the sub-advisory agreement pursuant to which Western Asset Management Company, LLC (“Western Asset” and, together with Franklin Advisers, the “Sub-Advisers”) provides day-to-day management of the Fund’s cash and short-term instruments allocated to it by the Manager. The management agreement and sub-advisory agreements are collectively referred to as the “Agreements.”
Background
The Board received extensive information in advance of the meeting to assist it in its consideration of the Agreements and asked questions and requested additional information from management. Throughout the year the Board (including its various committees) had met with representatives of the Manager and the Sub-Advisers, and had received information relevant to the renewal of the Agreements. Prior to the meeting the Independent Trustees met with their independent legal counsel to discuss and consider the information provided and submitted questions to management, and they considered the responses provided. The Board received and considered a variety of information about the Manager and the Sub-Advisers, as well as the management and sub-advisory arrangements for the Fund and other funds overseen by the Board, certain portions of which are discussed below. The information received and considered by the Board both in conjunction with the May 2025 meeting and throughout the year was both written and oral. The contractual arrangements discussed below are the product of multiple years of review and negotiation and information received and considered by the Board during those years.
The information provided and presentations made to the Board encompassed the Fund and all funds for which the Board has responsibility. The discussion below covers both the advisory and the administrative functions being rendered by the Manager, both of which functions are encompassed by the Management Agreement, as well as the advisory functions rendered by the Sub-Advisers pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
Board approval of management agreement and sub-advisory agreements
The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Manager and Sub-Advisers were present. The Independent Trustees considered the Management Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement separately in the course of their review. In doing so, they noted the respective roles of the Manager and the Sub-Advisers in providing services to the Fund.
In approving the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered a variety of factors, including those factors discussed below. No single factor reviewed by the Board was identified by the Board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements. Each Trustee may have attributed different weight to the various factors in evaluating the Management Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement.
After considering all relevant factors and information, the Board, exercising its business judgment, determined that the continuation of the Agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and approved the continuation of each such agreement for another year.
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the management agreement and sub-advisory agreements
The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Manager and the Sub-Advisers under the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, respectively,

during the past year. The Board noted information received at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by the Manager in its management of the Fund’s affairs and the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Fund’s other service providers. The Board’s evaluation of the services provided by the Manager and the Sub-Advisers took into account the Board’s knowledge gained as Trustees of funds in the fund complex overseen by the Trustees, including knowledge gained regarding the scope and quality of the investment management and other capabilities of the Manager and the Sub-Advisers, and the quality of the Manager’s administrative and other services. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Manager and the Sub-Advisers, and of the undertakings required of the Manager and Sub-Advisers in connection with those services, including maintaining and monitoring their own and the Fund’s compliance programs, liquidity risk management programs, derivatives risk management programs, cybersecurity programs and valuation-related policies, had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other developments. The Board also noted that on a regular basis it received and reviewed information from the Manager regarding the Fund’s compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board also considered the risks associated with the Fund borne by the Manager and its affiliates (such as entrepreneurial, operational, reputational, litigation and regulatory risk), as well as the Manager’s and each Sub-Adviser’s risk management processes.
The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the Manager’s and each Sub-Adviser’s senior personnel and the team of investment professionals primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. The Board also considered, based on its knowledge of the Manager and the Manager’s affiliates, the financial resources of Franklin Resources, Inc., the parent organization of the Manager and the Sub-Advisers. The Board recognized the importance of having a fund manager with significant resources.
The Board considered the division of responsibilities among the Manager and the Sub-Advisers and the oversight provided by the Manager. The Board also considered the policies and practices of the Manager and the Sub-Advisers regarding the selection of brokers and dealers and the execution of portfolio transactions. The Board considered management’s periodic reports to the Board on, among other things, its business plans, any organizational changes and portfolio manager compensation.
The Board received and considered performance information for the Fund as well as for a group of funds (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, based on classifications provided by Thomson Reuters Lipper (“Lipper”). The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used to determine the similarity of the Fund with the funds included in the Performance Universe. It was noted that while the Board found the Broadridge data generally useful, they recognized its limitations, including that the data may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection of the peer group and its composition over time. The Board also noted that it had received and discussed with management information throughout the year at periodic intervals comparing the Fund’s performance against its benchmark and against the Fund’s peers. The Board also considered the Fund’s performance in light of overall financial market conditions.
The information comparing the Fund’s performance to that of its Performance Universe, consisting of funds (including the Fund) classified as mixed-asset target allocation aggressive growth funds underlying variable insurance products by Lipper, showed, among other data, that the performance of the Fund’s Class I shares for the 1- and 3-year periods ended December 31, 2024 and the period since the Fund’s inception (April 15, 2020) through December 31, 2024 was above the median performance of the funds in the Performance Universe for each period.
The Board concluded that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided), including performance, under the Management Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement were sufficient for renewal.
Management fees and expense ratios
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee payable by the Fund to the Manager (the “Contractual Management Fee”) and the actual management fees paid by the Fund to the Manager after giving effect to breakpoints and waivers, if any (the “Actual Management Fee”), in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management and sub-advisory services provided by the Manager and the Sub-Advisers, respectively. The Board also noted that the compensation paid to the Sub-Advisers is the responsibility and expense of the Manager, not the Fund. The Board also considered that fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements are currently in place for the Fund.

Board Approval of Management and
Subadvisory Agreements (unaudited) (cont’d)
The Board received and considered information provided by Broadridge comparing the Contractual Management Fee and the Actual Management Fee and the Fund’s total actual expenses with those of funds in both the relevant expense group and a broader group of funds, each selected by Broadridge based on classifications provided by Lipper. It was noted that while the Board found the Broadridge data generally useful, they recognized its limitations, including that the data may vary depending on the selection of the peer group. The Board also reviewed information regarding fees charged by the Manager and/or the Sub-Advisers to other U.S. clients investing primarily in an asset class similar to that of the Fund, noting that there were none.
The Manager reviewed with the Board the differences in services provided to these different types of accounts, noting that the Fund is provided with certain administrative services, office facilities, and Fund officers (including the Fund’s chief executive, chief financial and chief compliance officers), and that the Manager coordinates and oversees the provision of services to the Fund by other Fund service providers. The Board considered the fee comparisons in light of the differences in management of these different types of accounts, and the differences in the degree of entrepreneurial and other risks borne by the Manager in managing the Fund and in managing other types of accounts.
The Board considered the overall management fee, the fees of each of the Sub-Advisers and the amount of the management fee retained by the Manager after payment of the sub-advisory fees, in each case in light of the services rendered for those amounts. The Board also received an analysis of complex-wide management fees provided by the Manager, which, among other things, set out a framework of fees based on asset classes.
The Board also received and considered information comparing the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee as well as its actual total expense ratio with those of a group of eight mixed-asset target allocation aggressive growth funds of funds underlying variable insurance products (including the Fund) selected by Broadridge to be comparable to the Fund (the “Expense Group”), and a broader group of funds selected by Broadridge consisting of mixed-asset target allocation aggressive growth funds of funds underlying variable insurance products (including the Fund) (the “Expense Universe”). This information showed that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee was approximately equivalent to the median of management fees payable by the funds in the Expense Group and that the Fund’s Actual Management Fee was approximately equivalent to the median of management fees paid by the funds in the Expense Group and approximately equivalent to the median of management fees paid by the funds in the Expense Universe. This information also showed that the Fund’s actual total expense ratio was below the median of the total expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Group, before including underlying fund expenses, and below the median of the actual total expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Universe, after including underlying fund expenses. The Board also considered that the current limitation on the Fund’s expenses is expected to continue until and expire on December 31, 2026.
Taking all of the above into consideration, as well as the factors identified below, the Board determined that the management fee and the sub-advisory fees for the Fund were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
Manager profitability
The Board received and considered an analysis of the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Board also received profitability information with respect to the Legg Mason Funds complex as a whole. The Board received information with respect to the Manager’s allocation methodologies used in preparing this profitability data. It was noted that the allocation methodologies had been reviewed by an outside consultant. The profitability of the Manager and its affiliates was considered by the Board not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund.
Economies of scale
The Board received and discussed information concerning whether the Manager realizes economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund as the Fund’s assets grow. The Board noted that the Manager had previously agreed to institute breakpoints in the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee, reflecting the potential for reducing the blended rate of the Contractual Management Fee as the Fund grows. The Board considered whether the breakpoint fee structure was a reasonable means of sharing with Fund investors any economies of scale or other efficiencies that might accrue from increases in the Fund’s asset levels. The Board noted that the Fund had not reached the specified asset level at which a breakpoint to its Contractual Management Fee would be triggered.

42
Franklin Templeton Model Portfolio Funds

The Board determined that the management fee structure for the Fund, including breakpoints, was reasonable.
Other benefits to the manager and the sub-advisers
The Board considered other benefits received by the Manager, the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including the opportunity to offer additional products and services to Fund shareholders, including the appointment of an affiliate of the Manager as the transfer agent of the Fund.
In light of the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Fund and the ongoing commitment of the Manager and the Sub-Advisers to the Fund, the Board considered that the ancillary benefits that the Manager, the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates received were reasonable.

The information received and considered by the Board both in conjunction with the May 2025 meeting and throughout the year was both written and oral. The contractual arrangements discussed below are the product of multiple years of review and negotiation and information received and considered by the Board during those years.
The information provided and presentations made to the Board encompassed the Fund and all funds for which the Board has responsibility. The discussion below covers both the advisory and the administrative functions being rendered by the Manager, both of which functions are encompassed by the Management Agreement, as well as the advisory functions rendered by the Sub-Advisers pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
Board approval of management agreement and sub-advisory agreements
The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Manager and Sub-Advisers were present. The Independent Trustees considered the Management Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement separately in the course of their review. In doing so, they noted the respective roles of the Manager and the Sub-Advisers in providing services to the Fund.
In approving the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered a variety of factors, including those factors discussed below. No single factor reviewed by the Board was identified by the Board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements. Each Trustee may have attributed different weight to the various factors in evaluating the Management Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement.
After considering all relevant factors and information, the Board, exercising its business judgment, determined that the continuation of the Agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and approved the continuation of each such agreement for another year.
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the management agreement and sub-advisory agreements
The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Manager and the Sub-Advisers under the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, respectively,

during the past year. The Board noted information received at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by the Manager in its management of the Fund’s affairs and the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Fund’s other service providers. The Board’s evaluation of the services provided by the Manager and the Sub-Advisers took into account the Board’s knowledge gained as Trustees of funds in the fund complex overseen by the Trustees, including knowledge gained regarding the scope and quality of the investment management and other capabilities of the Manager and the Sub-Advisers, and the quality of the Manager’s administrative and other services. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Manager and the Sub-Advisers, and of the undertakings required of the Manager and Sub-Advisers in connection with those services, including maintaining and monitoring their own and the Fund’s compliance programs, liquidity risk management programs, derivatives risk management programs, cybersecurity programs and valuation-related policies, had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other developments. The Board also noted that on a regular basis it received and reviewed information from the Manager regarding the Fund’s compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board also considered the risks associated with the Fund borne by the Manager and its affiliates (such as entrepreneurial, operational, reputational, litigation and regulatory risk), as well as the Manager’s and each Sub-Adviser’s risk management processes.
The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the Manager’s and each Sub-Adviser’s senior personnel and the team of investment professionals primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. The Board also considered, based on its knowledge of the Manager and the Manager’s affiliates, the financial resources of Franklin Resources, Inc., the parent organization of the Manager and the Sub-Advisers. The Board recognized the importance of having a fund manager with significant resources.
The Board considered the division of responsibilities among the Manager and the Sub-Advisers and the oversight provided by the Manager. The Board also considered the policies and practices of the Manager and the Sub-Advisers regarding the selection of brokers and dealers and the execution of portfolio transactions. The Board considered management’s periodic reports to the Board on, among other things, its business plans, any organizational changes and portfolio manager compensation.
The Board received and considered performance information for the Fund as well as for a group of funds (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, based on classifications provided by Thomson Reuters Lipper (“Lipper”). The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used to determine the similarity of the Fund with the funds included in the Performance Universe. It was noted that while the Board found the Broadridge data generally useful, they recognized its limitations, including that the data may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection of the peer group and its composition over time. The Board also noted that it had received and discussed with management information throughout the year at periodic intervals comparing the Fund’s performance against its benchmark and against the Fund’s peers. The Board also considered the Fund’s performance in light of overall financial market conditions.
The information comparing the Fund’s performance to that of its Performance Universe, consisting of funds (including the Fund) classified as mixed-asset target allocation moderate funds underlying variable insurance products by Lipper, showed, among other data, that the performance of the Fund’s Class I shares for the 1- and 3-year periods ended December 31, 2024 and the period since the Fund’s inception (April 15, 2020) through December 31, 2024 was above the median performance of the funds in the Performance Universe for each period.
The Board concluded that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided), including performance, under the Management Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement were sufficient for renewal.
Management fees and expense ratios
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee payable by the Fund to the Manager (the “Contractual Management Fee”) and the actual management fees paid by the Fund to the Manager after giving effect to breakpoints and waivers, if any (the “Actual Management Fee”), in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management and sub-advisory services provided by the Manager and the Sub-Advisers, respectively. The Board also noted that the compensation paid to the Sub-Advisers is the responsibility and expense of the Manager, not the Fund. The Board also considered that fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements are currently in place for the Fund.

The Board received and considered information provided by Broadridge comparing the Contractual Management Fee and the Actual Management Fee and the Fund’s total actual expenses with those of funds in both the relevant expense group and a broader group of funds, each selected by Broadridge based on classifications provided by Lipper. It was noted that while the Board found the Broadridge data generally useful, they recognized its limitations, including that the data may vary depending on the selection of the peer group. The Board also reviewed information regarding fees charged by the Manager and/or the Sub-Advisers to other U.S. clients investing primarily in an asset class similar to that of the Fund, noting that there were none.
The Manager reviewed with the Board the differences in services provided to these different types of accounts, noting that the Fund is provided with certain administrative services, office facilities, and Fund officers (including the Fund’s chief executive, chief financial and chief compliance officers), and that the Manager coordinates and oversees the provision of services to the Fund by other Fund service providers. The Board considered the fee comparisons in light of the differences in management of these different types of accounts, and the differences in the degree of entrepreneurial and other risks borne by the Manager in managing the Fund and in managing other types of accounts.
The Board considered the overall management fee, the fees of each of the Sub-Advisers and the amount of the management fee retained by the Manager after payment of the sub-advisory fees, in each case in light of the services rendered for those amounts. The Board also received an analysis of complex-wide management fees provided by the Manager, which, among other things, set out a framework of fees based on asset classes.
The Board also received and considered information comparing the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee as well as its actual total expense ratio with those of a group of nine mixed-asset target allocation moderate funds of funds underlying variable insurance products (including the Fund) selected by Broadridge to be comparable to the Fund (the “Expense Group”), and a broader group of funds selected by Broadridge consisting of mixed-asset target allocation moderate funds of funds underlying variable insurance products (including the Fund) (the “Expense Universe”). This information showed that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee was below the median of management fees payable by the funds in the Expense Group and that the Fund’s Actual Management Fee was approximately equivalent to the median of management fees paid by the funds in the Expense Group and approximately equivalent to the median of management fees paid by the funds in the Expense Universe. This information also showed that the Fund’s actual total expense ratio was approximately equivalent to the median of the total expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Group, before including underlying fund expenses, and below the median of the actual total expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Universe, after including underlying fund expenses. The Board also considered that the current limitation on the Fund’s expenses is expected to continue until and expire on December 31, 2026.
Taking all of the above into consideration, as well as the factors identified below, the Board determined that the management fee and the sub-advisory fees for the Fund were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
Manager profitability
The Board received and considered an analysis of the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Board also received profitability information with respect to the Legg Mason Funds complex as a whole. The Board received information with respect to the Manager’s allocation methodologies used in preparing this profitability data. It was noted that the allocation methodologies had been reviewed by an outside consultant. The profitability of the Manager and its affiliates was considered by the Board not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund.
Economies of scale
The Board received and discussed information concerning whether the Manager realizes economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund as the Fund’s assets grow. The Board noted that the Manager had previously agreed to institute breakpoints in the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee, reflecting the potential for reducing the blended rate of the Contractual Management Fee as the Fund grows. The Board considered whether the breakpoint fee structure was a reasonable means of sharing with Fund investors any economies of scale or other efficiencies that might accrue from increases in the Fund’s asset levels. The Board noted that the Fund had reached the specified asset level at which a breakpoint to its Contractual Management Fee would be triggered.

50
Franklin Templeton Model Portfolio Funds

The Board determined that the management fee structure for the Fund, including breakpoints, was reasonable.
Other benefits to the manager and the sub-advisers
The Board considered other benefits received by the Manager, the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including the opportunity to offer additional products and services to Fund shareholders, including the appointment of an affiliate of the Manager as the transfer agent of the Fund.
In light of the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Fund and the ongoing commitment of the Manager and the Sub-Advisers to the Fund, the Board considered that the ancillary benefits that the Manager, the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates received were reasonable.

Prior to the meeting the Independent Trustees met with their independent legal counsel to discuss and consider the information provided and submitted questions to management, and they considered the responses provided. The Board received and considered a variety of information about the Manager and the Sub-Advisers, as well as the management and sub-advisory arrangements for the Fund and other funds overseen by the Board, certain portions of which are discussed below. The information received and considered by the Board both in conjunction with the May 2025 meeting and throughout the year was both written and oral. The contractual arrangements discussed below are the product of multiple years of review and negotiation and information received and considered by the Board during those years.
The information provided and presentations made to the Board encompassed the Fund and all funds for which the Board has responsibility.

It was noted that while the Board found the Broadridge data generally useful, they recognized its limitations, including that the data may vary depending on the selection of the peer group. The Board also reviewed information regarding fees charged by the Manager and/or the Sub-Advisers to other U.S. clients investing primarily in an asset class similar to that of the Fund, noting that there were none.
The Manager reviewed with the Board the differences in services provided to these different types of accounts, noting that the Fund is provided with certain administrative services, office facilities, and Fund officers (including the Fund’s chief executive, chief financial and chief compliance officers), and that the Manager coordinates and oversees the provision of services to the Fund by other Fund service providers. The Board considered the fee comparisons in light of the differences in management of these different types of accounts, and the differences in the degree of entrepreneurial and other risks borne by the Manager in managing the Fund and in managing other types of accounts.
The Board considered the overall management fee, the fees of each of the Sub-Advisers and the amount of the management fee retained by the Manager after payment of the sub-advisory fees, in each case in light of the services rendered for those amounts. The Board also received an analysis of complex-wide management fees provided by the Manager, which, among other things, set out a framework of fees based on asset classes.
The Board also received and considered information comparing the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee as well as its actual total expense ratio with those of a group of ten mixed-asset target allocation conservative funds of funds underlying variable insurance products (including the Fund) selected by Broadridge to be comparable to the Fund (the “Expense Group”), and a broader group of funds selected by Broadridge consisting of mixed-asset target allocation conservative funds of funds underlying variable insurance products (including the Fund) (the “Expense Universe”). This information showed that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee was below the median of management fees payable by the funds in the Expense Group and that the Fund’s Actual Management Fee was approximately equivalent to the median of management fees paid by the funds in the Expense Group and approximately equivalent to the median of management fees paid by the funds in the Expense Universe. This information also showed that the Fund’s actual total expense ratio was approximately equivalent to the median of the total expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Group, before including underlying fund expenses, and approximately equivalent to the median of the actual total expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Universe, after including underlying fund expenses. The Board also considered that the current limitation on the Fund’s expenses is expected to continue until and expire on December 31, 2026.
Taking all of the above into consideration, as well as the factors identified below, the Board determined that the management fee and the sub-advisory fees for the Fund were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
Manager profitability
The Board received and considered an analysis of the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Board also received profitability information with respect to the Legg Mason Funds complex as a whole. The Board received information with respect to the Manager’s allocation methodologies used in preparing this profitability data. It was noted that the allocation methodologies had been reviewed by an outside consultant. The profitability of the Manager and its affiliates was considered by the Board not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund.
Economies of scale
The Board received and discussed information concerning whether the Manager realizes economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund as the Fund’s assets grow. The Board noted that the Manager had previously agreed to institute breakpoints in the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee, reflecting the potential for reducing the blended rate of the Contractual Management Fee as the Fund grows. The Board considered whether the breakpoint fee structure was a

reasonable means of sharing with Fund investors any economies of scale or other efficiencies that might accrue from increases in the Fund’s asset levels. The Board noted that the Fund had not reached the specified asset level at which a breakpoint to its Contractual Management Fee would be triggered. The Board also noted the size of the Fund.
The Board determined that the management fee structure for the Fund, including breakpoints, was reasonable.
Other benefits to the manager and the sub-advisers
The Board considered other benefits received by the Manager, the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including the opportunity to offer additional products and services to Fund shareholders, including the appointment of an affiliate of the Manager as the transfer agent of the Fund.
In light of the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Fund and the ongoing commitment of the Manager and the Sub-Advisers to the Fund, the Board considered that the ancillary benefits that the Manager, the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates received were reasonable.
