Investment objective
ClearBridge Large Cap Growth Select ETF (the “fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation through investing in large-capitalization companies with the potential for high future earnings growth.
Fees and expenses of the fund
The accompanying table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the fund. You may also be subject to additional fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and Example below. The management agreement between Legg Mason ETF Investment Trust (the “Trust”) and Franklin Templeton Fund Adviser, LLC (“FTFA” or the “manager”) (the “Management Agreement”) provides that the manager will pay all operating expenses of the fund, except interest expenses, taxes, brokerage expenses, future Rule 12b-1 fees (if any), acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses and the management fee payable to the manager under the Management Agreement. The manager will also pay all subadvisory fees of the fund.

| Other expenses | 0.00 | |
| Acquired fund fees and expenses | 0.01 | |
| Total annual fund operating expenses1 | 0.48 | |

Example:
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes:
| ● | You invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated |
| ● | Your investment has a 5% return each year and the fund’s operating expenses remain the same (except that any applicable fee waiver or expense reimbursement is reflected only through its expiration date) |
You may also incur usual and customary brokerage commissions and other charges when buying or selling shares of the fund, which are not reflected in the example.

Portfolio turnover. The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 38% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal investment strategies
Under normal circumstances, the fund seeks to meet its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any, in equity securities of U.S. large capitalization growth companies or other investments with similar economic characteristics.
For purposes of this investment policy, the subadviser considers various investment criteria in determining whether a company is a growth company including, but not limited to:
| ● | Higher earnings per share growth than the broader equity market |
| ● | Higher sales growth than the broader equity market |
These investment criteria may be assessed based on past history or forward-looking estimates. In addition, a company identified as a “growth company” by an independent third-party index or investment data provider will be considered a “growth company” for purposes of this investment policy. The subadviser defines large capitalization companies as those companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell 1000 Index (the “Index”).
The size of the companies in the Index changes with market conditions and the composition of the Index. As of March 31, 2026, the largest market capitalization of a company in the Index was approximately $4.461 trillion and the median market capitalization of a company in the Index was approximately $16.405 billion. The fund’s investment strategy focuses on consistent growth of capital while managing volatility.
The subadviser generally intends to maintain a more focused portfolio consisting of about 30 large capitalization growth company securities. The fund is a “non-diversified” fund, which means it generally invests a greater portion of its assets in the securities of one or more issuers and invests overall in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.
The fund emphasizes investments in equity securities or related instruments of U.S. large-capitalization growth companies; however, it may invest in equity securities of foreign issuers with similar characteristics.
The subadviser seeks to invest over the long term in select large-capitalization companies that are considered to be of high quality with sustainable competitive advantages as evidenced by
| ClearBridge Large Cap Growth Select ETF |
|

|
high returns on capital, strong balance sheets, and capable management teams that allocate capital in an efficient manner. The subadviser seeks to invest in leadership companies where the portfolio managers believe the market price underestimates the magnitude of future growth. Leadership may be assessed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The subadviser seeks to select securities of companies that are category leaders with characteristics to sustain that position and grow market share consistently. The subadviser performs rigorous analysis to understand company fundamentals, key competitive dynamics and industry structure with the belief that the best business models win over time. The subadviser seeks to identify social or economic trends that will have an impact on the economy as a whole to support multi-year investment opportunities, allowing for compounding of earnings and cash flow. The subadviser seeks companies with self-funding business models with significant recurring revenue and businesses with the ability to generate superior free cash flow over time. In addition, the subadviser takes a disciplined approach to valuation and stress tests the sustainability of profitability and growth. The subadviser will also consider emerging companies with promising future prospects that may not yet have demonstrated substantial profitability.
The subadviser will utilize fundamental analysis to identify investment candidates with these attributes, and evaluate industry dynamics, the strength of the business model and management skill. Valuation will be carefully examined using a variety of techniques that depend on the type of company being researched. Methods typically used are discounted cash flow analysis, market implied growth and returns relative to the subadviser’s expectations, multiple comparisons and scenario analysis.
The subadviser will sell a security if the issuer no longer meets its financial criteria. In addition, the subadviser will seek to replace securities when the company’s risk/reward profile is no longer favorable due to price appreciation or if the company’s investment fundamentals have deteriorated meaningfully relative to original expectations. Securities may also be sold to permit investment in an issuer considered by the subadviser to be a more attractive alternative.
As of March 31, 2026, the top sector represented by the fund’s underlying investments was information technology. This sector may change over time.
Principal risks
Risk is inherent in all investing. The value of your investment in the fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly. You may lose part or all of your investment in the fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any bank or government agency. The following is a list of the principal risks of investing in the fund. The relative significance of the risks of investing in the fund may change over time. The descriptions appear in alphabetical order, not order of importance.
Asset class risk. Securities or other assets in the fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to the general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes.
Authorized Participant concentration risk. Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. “Authorized Participants” are broker-dealers that are permitted to create and redeem shares directly with the fund and who have
4 |
ClearBridge Large Cap Growth Select ETF |
entered into agreements with the fund’s distributor. A limited number of institutions act as Authorized Participants in respect of the fund. To the extent that these institutions exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the fund and no other Authorized Participant steps forward to create or redeem, in either of these cases, fund shares may trade at a premium or discount to net asset value and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.
Cybersecurity risk. Like other funds and business enterprises, the fund, the manager, the subadvisers, Authorized Participants, the relevant listing exchange and their service providers are subject to the risk of cyber incidents occurring from time to time. Cybersecurity incidents, whether intentionally caused by third parties or otherwise, may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to fund assets, fund or customer data (including private shareholder information) or proprietary information, cause the fund, the manager, the subadvisers, Authorized Participants, the relevant listing exchange and/or their service providers (including, but not limited to, fund accountants, custodians, sub-custodians, transfer agents and financial intermediaries) to suffer data breaches, data corruption or loss of operational functionality, or prevent fund investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares, receiving distributions or receiving timely information regarding the fund or their investment in the fund. The fund, the manager, and the subadvisers have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cybersecurity incidents affecting third party service providers, and such third party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the fund, the manager, and/or the subadvisers. Cybersecurity incidents may result in financial losses to the fund and its shareholders, and substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent or mitigate any future cybersecurity incidents. Issuers of securities in which the fund invests are also subject to cybersecurity risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cybersecurity incidents.
Because technology is frequently changing (including the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning), new ways to carry out cyber attacks continue to develop. There is a chance that some risks have not been identified or prepared for, or that an attack may not be detected, which puts limitations on the fund’s ability to plan for or respond to a cyber attack. The rapid development and increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence technologies could increase the effectiveness of cyber attacks and exacerbate the risks.
Growth investing risk. The fund’s growth-oriented investment style may increase the risks of investing in the fund. Growth securities typically are very sensitive to market movements because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations will not be met, the prices of growth securities typically fall. Growth securities may also be more volatile than other investments because they often do not pay dividends. The values of growth securities tend to go down when interest rates rise because the rise in interest rates reduces the current value of future cash flows. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market while the market favors value stocks.
Illiquidity risk. Some assets held by the fund may be or become impossible or difficult to sell and some assets that the fund wants to invest in may be impossible or difficult to purchase, particularly during times of market turmoil or due to adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer. These illiquid assets may also be difficult to value. Markets may become illiquid quickly. Markets may become illiquid when, for instance, there are few, if any, interested buyers or sellers or when dealers are unwilling or unable to make a market for certain securities.

|

|
If the fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, or to try to limit losses, the fund may be forced to sell at a substantial loss or may not be able to sell at all. The fund may not receive its proceeds from the sale of certain securities for an extended period (for example, several weeks or even longer).
Information technology sector risk. Companies in the rapidly changing field of information technology face special risks. Additionally, companies in this field are dependent upon consumer and business acceptance as new technologies evolve (including with respect to artificial intelligence and machine learning). Information technology companies face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence. They are also heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by the loss or impairment of, or inability to enforce, those rights.
Issuer risk. The market price of a security held by the fund can go up or down more than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole due to factors specifically relating to the security’s issuer, such as disappointing earnings reports by the issuer, unsuccessful products or services, loss of major customers, changes in management, corporate actions, negative perception in the marketplace, or major litigation or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or the competitive environment. An individual security may also be affected by factors relating to the industry or sector of the issuer or the securities markets as a whole, and conversely an industry or sector or the securities markets may be affected by a change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer. The fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on an individual security.
Large capitalization company risk. Large capitalization companies may fall out of favor with investors based on market and economic conditions. In addition, larger companies may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies and may be less capable of responding quickly to competitive challenges and industry changes. As a result, the fund’s value may not rise as much as, or may fall more than, the value of funds that focus on companies with smaller market capitalizations.
Market events risk. The market values of securities or other assets will fluctuate, sometimes sharply and unpredictably, due to factors such as economic events, governmental actions or intervention, actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks, market disruptions caused by trade disputes or other factors, political developments, armed conflicts, economic sanctions and countermeasures in response to sanctions, major cybersecurity events, the global and domestic effects of widespread or local health, weather or climate events, and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, public health events, terrorism, wars, natural disasters and other circumstances in one country or region could have profound impacts on global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries or markets directly affected, the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments may be negatively affected. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future geopolitical or other events or conditions. Furthermore, events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect one industry, such as the financial services industry, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds, have in the past and may in the future lead
6 |
ClearBridge Large Cap Growth Select ETF |
to market-wide liquidity problems, may spread to other industries, and could negatively affect the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments.
Ongoing or threatened armed conflicts throughout the world have caused and could continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility. The hostilities and sanctions resulting from those hostilities could have a significant adverse impact on certain investments of the fund as well as the fund’s performance and liquidity.
Market trading risk. The fund faces numerous market trading risks, including the potential lack of an active market for fund shares, losses from trading in secondary markets, periods of high volatility and disruptions in the creation/redemption process. Any of these factors, among others, may lead to the fund’s shares trading at a premium or discount to net asset value.
Absence of active market. Although shares of the fund are listed for trading on one or more stock exchanges, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will develop or be maintained by market makers or Authorized Participants. Authorized Participants are not obligated to execute purchase or redemption orders for Creation Units. In periods of market volatility, market makers and/or Authorized Participants may be less willing to transact in fund shares. The absence of an active market for the fund’s shares may contribute to the fund’s shares trading at a premium or discount to net asset value.
Shares of the fund may trade at prices other than net asset value. Shares of the fund trade on stock exchanges at prices at, above or below the fund’s most recent net asset value. The net asset value of the fund is calculated at the end of each business day and fluctuates with changes in the market value of the fund’s holdings. The trading price of the fund’s shares fluctuates continuously throughout trading hours based on both market supply of and demand for fund shares and the underlying value of the fund’s portfolio holdings or net asset value. As a result, the trading prices of the fund’s shares may deviate significantly from net asset value during periods of market volatility, including during periods of high redemption requests or other unusual market conditions. ANY OF THESE FACTORS, AMONG OTHERS, MAY LEAD TO THE FUND’S SHARES TRADING AT A PREMIUM OR DISCOUNT TO NET ASSET VALUE.
Non-diversification risk. The fund is classified as “non-diversified,” which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. To the extent the fund invests its assets in a smaller number of issuers, the fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers than a diversified fund.
Portfolio management risk. The value of your investment may decrease if the subadviser’s judgment about the attractiveness or value of, or market trends affecting, a particular security, industry, sector or region, or about market movements, is incorrect or does not produce the desired results, or if there are imperfections, errors or limitations in the models, tools and data used by the subadviser. In addition, the fund’s investment strategies or policies may change from time to time. Those changes may not lead to the results intended by the subadviser and could have an adverse effect on the value or performance of the fund.
Stock market and equity securities risk. The stock markets are volatile and the market prices of equity securities held by the fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Equity securities may include exchange-traded and over-the-counter common stocks, preferred stock, depositary receipts, trust certificates, limited partnership interests, warrants, rights,

|
7 |
|
securities convertible into equity securities, and shares of other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, and of real estate investment trusts. Equity securities may have greater price volatility than other asset classes, such as fixed income securities. The market price of a security may fluctuate based on overall market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions or trends, tariffs and trade disruptions, inflation, substantial economic downturn or recession, changes in interest rates, or adverse investor sentiment. Changes in market conditions will not typically have the same impact on all types of securities. If the market prices of the equity securities owned by the fund fall, the value of your investment in the fund will decline. If the fund holds equity securities in a company that becomes insolvent, the fund’s interests in the company will be subordinated to the interests of debtholders and general creditors of the company, and the fund may lose its entire investment.
Trading issues risk. Trading in fund shares on NASDAQ may be halted in certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that the requirements of NASDAQ necessary to maintain the listing of the fund will continue to be met.
Valuation risk. The sales price the fund could receive upon the sale of any particular portfolio investment may differ from the fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. These differences may increase significantly and affect fund investments more broadly during periods of market volatility. Authorized Participants who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the fund had not fair-valued securities or had used a different valuation methodology. The fund’s ability to value its investments may be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third party service providers. The valuation of the fund’s investments involves subjective judgment.
These and other risks are discussed in more detail in the Prospectus or in the Statement of Additional Information.

Management
Investment manager: Franklin Templeton Fund Adviser, LLC (“FTFA”)
Subadviser: ClearBridge Investments, LLC (“ClearBridge”)
Portfolio managers: Primary responsibility for the day-to-day management of the fund lies with the following portfolio managers.
| Portfolio manager | Title | Portfolio manager of the fund since | ||
| Erica Furfaro | Director and Portfolio Manager of ClearBridge |

Purchase and sale of fund shares
The fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). Individual shares of the fund are listed on a national securities exchange and are redeemable only by Authorized Participants in aggregated blocks of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”).
Individual shares of the fund may only be purchased and sold in the secondary market through a broker-dealer at market prices. Because fund shares trade at market prices rather than at net asset value, fund shares may trade at a price greater than net asset value (a premium) or less than net asset value (a discount).
When buying or selling shares in the secondary market, you may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the fund (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the fund (ask) (the “bid-ask spread”).
The fund will only issue or redeem Creation Units to Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with the fund’s distributor. The fund generally will issue or redeem Creation Units in return for a designated portfolio of securities (and an amount of cash) that the fund specifies each day.

You may access recent information, including information on the fund’s net asset value, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, on the fund’s website at www.franklintempleton.com/prospectus.
Tax information
The fund’s distributions are generally taxable and will be taxed as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged account, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account, in which case your distributions may be taxed when withdrawn from such tax-advantaged account.
Payments to broker/dealers and other financial intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), FTFA or other related companies pay the intermediary for marketing activities and presentations, educational training programs, conferences, the development of technology platforms and reporting systems or other services related to the sale or promotion of the fund. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
