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.

(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.

Pursuant to policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, 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 of Trustees. 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 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 of Trustees, 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 of Trustees 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:
