CAPITAL AND INCOME
FUND INC. (SCD)
Managed Distribution Policy: The Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has authorized a managed distribution plan pursuant to which the Fund makes monthly distributions
to shareholders at a fixed rate of $0.1130 per common share, which rate may be adjusted
from time to time by the Fund’s Board (the “Plan”). The Plan is intended to provide shareholders with a constant, but not guaranteed, fixed minimum rate of distribution each month.
The Fund is managed with a goal of generating as much of the distribution as possible
from net ordinary income and short-term capital gains that is consistent with the Fund’s investment strategy and risk profile. To the extent that sufficient distributable income is not
available on a monthly basis, the Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return
of capital in order to maintain its managed distribution rate. A return of capital may occur,
for example, when some or all of the money that was invested in the Fund is paid back
to shareholders. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income”. Even though the Fund may realize current year capital gains, such gains may be offset, in whole
or in part, by the Fund’s capital loss carryovers from prior years.
The Board may amend the terms of the Plan or terminate the Plan at any time without
prior notice to the Fund’s shareholders, however, at this time there are no reasonably foreseeable circumstances that might cause the termination of the Plan. The amendment or termination
of the Plan could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund’s common shares. The Plan is subject to the periodic review by the Board to determine if an adjustment
should be made.
Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the current distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s Plan. The Fund will send a Form 1099-DIV to shareholders for the calendar year that will describe
how to
report the Fund’s distributions for federal income tax purposes.
Fund objective
The Fund’s investment objective is total return with an emphasis on income.
The Fund may invest in a broad range of equity and fixed income securities of both
U.S. and foreign issuers. The Fund will vary its allocation between equity and fixed income
securities depending on the investment manager’s view of economic, market or political conditions, fiscal and monetary policy and security valuation.

LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc.
For the six months ended May 31, 2024, LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc. returned 14.45%
based on its net asset value (NAV)i and 21.28% based on its New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) market price per share. The Fund’s unmanaged benchmarks, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Indexii and the S&P 500 Indexiii, returned 2.12% and 16.35%, respectively. The Fund’s Composite Indexiv returned 11.24% over the same time frame.
The Fund has adopted a managed distribution policy (the “Managed Distribution Policy”). Pursuant to this policy, the Fund intends to make regular monthly distributions to
common shareholders at a fixed rate per common share, which rate may be adjusted from time
to time by the Fund’s Board of Directors. This policy has no impact on the Fund’s investment strategy and may reduce the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s manager believes the policy helps maintain the Fund’s competitiveness and may benefit the Fund’s market price and premium/discount to the Fund’s NAV.
During this six-month period, the Fund made distributions to shareholders totaling
$0.68 per share. As of May 31, 2024, the Fund estimates that 10% of the distributions were sourced
from net investment income and 90% constituted realized capital gains.* The performance table shows the Fund’s six-month total return based on its NAV and market price as of May 31, 2024. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

All figures represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future results.
Performance figures for periods shorter than one year represent cumulative figures and are not
annualized.
** Total returns are based on changes in NAV or market price, respectively. Returns
reflect the deduction of all Fund expenses, including management fees, operating expenses, and
other Fund expenses. Returns do not reflect the deduction of brokerage commissions or taxes that
investors may pay on distributions or the sale of shares.
† Total return assumes the reinvestment of all distributions, including returns of capital, if any, at NAV.
‡ Total return assumes the reinvestment of all distributions, including returns of capital, if any, in additional shares in accordance with the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

This estimate is not for tax purposes. The Fund will issue a Form 1099 with final
composition of the distributions for tax purposes after year-end. A return of capital is not taxable and results in
a reduction in the tax basis of a shareholder’s investment. For more information about a distribution’s composition, please refer to the Fund’s distribution press release or, if applicable, the Section 19 notice located in the
press release section of our website, www.franklintempleton.com.

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
RISKS: The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company designed primarily as a long-term investment and not as a trading vehicle. The Fund is not
intended to be a complete investment program and, due to the uncertainty inherent in all investments,
there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fund’s common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Similar to stocks, the Fund’s share price will fluctuate with market conditions and, at the time of sale, may be worth more or less than the
original investment. Shares of closed-end funds often trade at a discount to their net asset
value. Because the Fund is non-diversified, it may be more susceptible to economic, political
or regulatory events than a diversified fund. The Fund’s investments are subject to a number of risks such as stock market and equity securities risk, MLP risk, fixed income securities
risk, foreign investments risk, market events risk and portfolio management risk. Investments
in MLP securities are subject to unique risks. The Fund’s concentration of investments in energy-related MLPs subjects it to the risks of MLPs and the energy sector, including the risks of
declines in energy and commodity prices, decreases in energy demand, adverse weather conditions,
natural or other disasters, changes in government regulation, and changes in tax laws. MLP
distributions are not guaranteed and there is no assurance that all such distributions will be tax
deferred. Stock and bond prices are subject to fluctuation. As interest rates rise, bond prices
fall, reducing the value of the fixed income securities held by the Fund. Investing in foreign securities
is subject to certain risks not associated with domestic investing, such as currency
fluctuations and changes in political, social, and economic conditions. These risks are magnified in
emerging or developing markets. Emerging market countries tend to have economic, political, and
legal systems that are less developed and are less stable than those of more developed countries.
The Fund may invest in lower-rated high-yield bonds or “junk bonds”, which are subject to greater liquidity and credit risk (risk of default) than higher-rated obligations. The repositioning
of the
LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc.
Fund’s portfolio may increase a shareholder’s risk of loss associated with an investment in the Fund’s shares. Funds that invest in securities related to the real estate industry are subject to the risks of real estate markets, including fluctuating property values, changes in interest
rates and other mortgage-related risks. The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures,
which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large
impact on Fund performance. Leverage may result in greater volatility of NAV and the market
price of common shares and increases a shareholder’s risk of loss. Dividends are not guaranteed, and a company may reduce or eliminate its dividend at any time. Distributions are not guaranteed
and are subject to change. The market values of securities or other assets will fluctuate,
sometimes sharply and unpredictably, due to changes in general market conditions, overall economic
trends or 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, investor sentiment, the global and domestic
effects of a pandemic, and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security
or other asset. The market values of securities or other assets will fluctuate, sometimes sharply
and unpredictably, due to changes in general market conditions, overall economic trends
or 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, investor sentiment, the global and domestic
effects of a pandemic, and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security
or other asset. The Fund may also invest in money market funds, including funds affiliated with the Fund’s manager and subadviser.
All investments are subject to risk including the possible loss of principal. Past
performance is no guarantee of future results. All index performance reflects no deduction for fees,
expenses or taxes. Please note that an investor cannot invest directly in an index.
i
Net asset value (NAV) is calculated by subtracting total liabilities, including liabilities
associated with financial leverage (if any), from the closing value of all securities held by the Fund (plus
all other assets) and dividing the result (total net assets) by the total number of the common shares outstanding. The
NAV fluctuates with changes in the market prices of securities in which the Fund has invested. However, the price
at which an investor may buy or sell shares of the Fund is the Fund’s market price as determined by supply of and demand for the Fund’s shares.
ii
The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index is a broad-based bond index comprised of government,
corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed issues, rated investment grade or higher, and having at least one
year to maturity.
iii
The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of the stocks of 500 leading companies, and
is generally representative of the performance of larger companies in the U.S.
iv
The Composite Index reflects the blended rate of return of the following underlying
indices: 65% S&P 500 Index and 35% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index.

LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc. 2024 Semi-Annual Report
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
1. Organization and significant accounting policies
LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland on November 12, 2003, and is registered as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Board of Directors authorized 100 million shares of $0.001 par value common stock. The Fund’s investment objective is total return with an emphasis on income.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to maximize total return by investing
at least 80% of its Managed Assets in a broad range of equity and fixed income securities
of both U.S. and foreign issuers. The Fund will vary its allocation between equity and
fixed income securities depending on ClearBridge’s view of economic, market or political conditions, fiscal and monetary policy and security valuation.
The Fund follows 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 Fund 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. 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 Fund holds securities or other assets that
are denominated in a foreign currency, the Fund 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
LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc. 2024 Semi-Annual Report
security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange
or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Fund calculates its net
asset value, the Fund values these securities as determined in accordance with procedures
approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors.
Pursuant to policies adopted by the Board of Directors, the Fund’s manager has been designated as the valuation designee and is responsible for the oversight of the daily
valuation process. The Fund’s 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 Fund’s pricing policies, and reporting to the Fund’s manager and the Board of Directors. When determining the reliability of third party pricing information for investments owned by the Fund, 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.
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted
by the Board of Directors, 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 Directors
quarterly.
The Fund uses 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.
LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc. 2024 Semi-Annual Report
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) (cont’d)
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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s assets carried at fair value:

(b) Business development companies. The Fund may invest in securities of closed-end investment companies that have elected to be treated as a business development company
under the 1940 Act. The Fund may purchase a business development company to gain exposure to the securities in the underlying portfolio. The risks of owning a business
development company generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities.
Business development companies have expenses that reduce their value.
(c) Master limited partnerships. The Fund may invest without limit in the securities of both energy and non-energy Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), so long as no more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets are invested in MLPs that are treated for U.S. federal tax purposes as qualified publicly traded partnerships. This 25% limitation applies generally
to MLPs that focus on commodity and energy-related industries. Entities commonly referred
to
LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc. 2024 Semi-Annual Report
as “MLPs” are generally organized under state law as limited partnerships or limited liability companies. To be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
an MLP whose units are traded on a securities exchange must receive at least 90% of its
income from qualifying sources such as interest, dividends, real estate rents, gain
from the sale or disposition of real property, income and gain from mineral or natural resources
activities, income and gain from the transportation or storage of certain fuels, and,
in certain circumstances, income and gain from commodities or futures, forwards and options
with respect to commodities. Mineral or natural resources activities include exploration,
development, production, processing, mining, refining, marketing and transportation
(including pipelines) of oil and gas, minerals, geothermal energy, fertilizer, timber
or industrial source carbon dioxide. An MLP consists of a general partner and limited
partners (or in the case of MLPs organized as limited liability companies, a managing member
and members). The general partner or managing member typically controls the operations
and management of the MLP and has an ownership stake in the partnership. The limited partners or members, through their ownership of limited partner or member interests,
provide capital to the entity, are intended to have no role in the operation and management
of the entity and receive cash distributions. The MLPs themselves generally do not
pay U.S. federal income taxes. Thus, unlike investors in corporate securities, direct MLP investors
are generally not subject to double taxation (i.e., corporate level tax and tax on
corporate dividends). Currently, most MLPs operate in the energy and/or natural resources sector.
(d) Cash flow information. The Fund invests in securities and distributes dividends from net investment income and net realized gains, which are paid in cash and may be reinvested at the discretion of shareholders. These activities are reported in the
Statements of Changes in Net Assets and additional information on cash receipts and cash payments
is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows.
(e) Foreign currency translation. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based upon
prevailing exchange rates on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment
securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into U.S. dollar amounts based upon prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates
of such transactions.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising
from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies,
including gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts, currency gains or
losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the
difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes
LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc. 2024 Semi-Annual Report
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) (cont’d)
recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes
in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, on the
date of valuation, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and
risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated transactions as a result
of, among other factors, the possibility of lower levels of governmental supervision and
regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic
instability.
(f) Foreign investment risks. The Fund’s investments in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities may be denominated in
foreign currencies, may require settlement in foreign currencies or may pay interest or dividends
in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the
U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Fund. Foreign
investments may also subject the Fund to foreign government exchange restrictions,
expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of
which affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments.
(g) Security transactions and investment income. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income (including interest income from payment-in-kind
securities) is recorded on the accrual basis. Amortization of premiums and accretion
of discounts on debt securities are recorded to interest income over the lives of the
respective securities, except for premiums on certain callable debt securities, which are amortized
to the earliest call date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends
received in cash and/or securities. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date or as soon as practicable after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend
declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. The cost of investments sold
is determined by use of the specific identification method. To the extent any issuer
defaults or a credit event occurs that impacts the issuer, the Fund may halt any additional interest
income accruals and consider the realizability of interest accrued up to the date
of default or credit event.
(h) Return of capital estimates. Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital and distributions received
from the Fund’s investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) generally are comprised of income, realized capital gains and return of capital. The Fund records
investment income, realized capital gains and return of capital based on estimates
made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on historical information
available from each MLP or REIT and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from the MLPs and REITs after
their tax reporting periods are concluded.
LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc. 2024 Semi-Annual Report
(i) Partnership accounting policy. The Fund records its pro rata share of the income (loss) and capital gains (losses), to the extent of distributions it has received,
allocated from the underlying partnerships and accordingly adjusts the cost basis of the underlying
partnerships for return of capital. These amounts are included in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
(j) Distributions to shareholders. Distributions from net investment income by the Fund, if any, are declared and paid on a monthly basis. The actual source of the Fund’s current fiscal year distributions may be from net investment income, return of capital or
a combination of both. Shareholders will be informed of the tax characteristics of the
distributions after the close of the fiscal year. The Fund intends to distribute all
of its net investment income earned each month and any cash received during the month from its
investments in MLPs and REITs. The Fund intends to distribute the cash received from
MLPs and REITs even if all or a portion of that cash may represent a return of capital
to the Fund. The Fund may distribute additional amounts if required under the income tax regulations.
Distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared at least annually. Pursuant
to its Managed Distribution Policy, the Fund intends to make regular monthly distributions
to shareholders at a fixed rate per common share, which rate may be adjusted from time
to time by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Under the Fund’s Managed Distribution Policy, if, for any monthly distribution, the value of the Fund’s net investment income and net realized capital gain is less than the amount of the distribution, the difference will be distributed
from the Fund’s net assets (and may constitute a “return of capital”). The Board of Directors may modify, terminate or suspend the Managed Distribution Policy at any time, including
when certain events would make part of the return of capital taxable to shareholders.
Any such modification, termination or suspension could have an adverse effect on the market
price of the Fund’s shares. Distributions to shareholders of the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which
may differ from GAAP.
(k) Compensating balance arrangements. The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank whereby a portion of the custodian’s fees is paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank.
(l) Federal and other taxes. It is the Fund’s 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 Fund intends to distribute
its 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 Fund’s financial statements.
The Fund may invest without limit in the securities of MLPs, so long as no more than
25% of its total assets are invested in MLPs that are treated as qualified publicly traded
partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a limited partner in the MLPs,
the
LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc. 2024 Semi-Annual Report
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) (cont’d)
Fund reports its allocable share of the MLP’s taxable income in computing its own taxable income. The distributions paid by the MLPs generally do not constitute income for
tax purposes. Each MLP may allocate losses to the Fund which are generally not deductible
in computing the Fund’s taxable income until such time as that particular MLP either generates income to offset those losses or the Fund disposes of units in that MLP. This may
result in the Fund’s taxable income being substantially different than its book income in any given year. As a result, the Fund may have insufficient taxable income to support its distributions
paid resulting in a return of capital to shareholders. A return of capital distribution
is generally not treated as taxable income to shareholders and instead reduces a shareholder’s basis in their shares of the Fund.
The Fund, and entities in which the Fund invests, may be subject to audit by the Internal
Revenue Service or other applicable tax authorities. The Fund’s taxable income or tax liability for prior taxable years could be adjusted if there is an audit of the Fund,
or of any entity that is treated as a partnership for tax purposes in which the Fund holds an
equity interest. The Fund may be required to pay a fund-level tax as a result of such an
adjustment or may pay a “deficiency dividend” to its current shareholders in order to avoid a fund-level tax associated with the adjustment. The Fund could also be required to pay interest
and penalties in connection with such an adjustment.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of November 30, 2023, no provision for income
tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s 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.
Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest,
dividends and capital gains at various rates.
(m) Reclassification. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified to 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 the Fund’s investment manager. ClearBridge Investments, LLC (“ClearBridge”), Western Asset Management Company, LLC (“Western Asset”) and Western Asset Management Company Limited (“Western Asset London”) are the Fund’s subadvisers. FTFA, ClearBridge, Western Asset and Western Asset London are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Franklin Resources, Inc. (“Franklin Resources”).
FTFA provides administrative and certain oversight services to the Fund. The Fund
pays an investment management fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of
0.85%
LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc. 2024 Semi-Annual Report
of the Fund’s average daily net assets plus the proceeds of any outstanding borrowings used for leverage and any proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock (“Managed Assets”).
FTFA delegates to the subadvisers the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
ClearBridge provides investment advisory services to the Fund by both determining
the allocation of the Fund’s assets between equity and fixed income investments and performing the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investments in equity securities. Western Asset provides advisory services to the Fund by performing the day-to-day
management of the Fund’s fixed income investments. For its services, FTFA pays the subadvisers monthly 70% of the net management fee it receives from the Fund. This
fee will be divided on a pro rata basis, based on assets allocated to each subadviser.
Western Asset London provides certain advisory services to the Fund relating to currency
transactions and investments in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities. Western Asset
London does not receive any compensation from the Fund. In turn, Western Asset pays
Western Asset London monthly a subadvisory fee of 0.30% on the assets managed by Western Asset London.
During periods in which the Fund utilizes financial leverage, the fees paid to FTFA
will be higher than if the Fund did not utilize leverage because the fees are calculated as
a percentage of the Fund’s assets, including those investments purchased with leverage.
All officers and one Director of the Fund are employees of Franklin Resources or its
affiliates and do not receive compensation from the Fund.
During the six months ended May 31, 2024, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:

5. Loan
The Fund has a Margin Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”) that allows the Fund to borrow up to an aggregate amount of $80,000,000 and renews daily for a 179-day term unless notice to the contrary is given
to the Fund. The Fund pays interest on borrowings calculated based on SOFR plus applicable
margin. The Fund pays a commitment fee on the unutilized portion of the loan commitment
amount at an annual rate of 0.10% except that the commitment fee is 0.07% when the
aggregate outstanding balance of the loan is equal to or greater than 50% of the maximum
commitment amount. To the extent of the borrowing outstanding, the Fund is required
to maintain collateral in a special custody account at the Fund’s custodian on behalf of BofA. The Fund’s Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, may limit the Fund’s ability to pay distributions in certain circumstances, incur additional debt, change its fundamental investment policies and engage in certain transactions, including
mergers and consolidations, and require asset coverage ratios in addition to those
required by the 1940 Act. In addition, the Credit Agreement may be subject to early termination
under certain conditions and may contain other provisions that could limit the Fund’s ability to utilize borrowing under the agreement. Interest expense related to the Credit Agreement
for the six months ended May 31, 2024 was $2,063,284. For the six months ended May
31, 2024, the Fund incurred commitment fees of $4,859. For the six months ended May 31,
2024, based on the number of days during the reporting period that the Fund had a
loan balance outstanding, the average daily loan balance was $66,344,262 and the weighted
average interest rate was 6.12%. At May 31, 2024, the Fund had $67,000,000 of borrowings
outstanding.
6. Distributions subsequent to May 31, 2024
The following distributions have been declared by the Fund’s Board of Directors and are payable subsequent to the period end of this report:
7. Stock repurchase program
On November 16, 2015, the Fund announced that the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) had authorized the Fund to repurchase in the open market up to approximately 10% of
the Fund’s outstanding common stock when the Fund’s shares are trading at a discount to net asset value. The Board has directed management of the Fund to repurchase shares of
common stock at such times and in such amounts as management reasonably believes may
enhance stockholder value. The Fund is under no obligation to purchase shares at any
specific discount levels or in any specific amounts.
LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc. 2024 Semi-Annual Report
During the six months ended May 31, 2024, the Fund did not repurchase any shares.
During the year ended November 30, 2023, the Fund repurchased and retired 1.49% of its common
shares outstanding under the repurchase plan. The weighted average discount per share
on these repurchases was 13.27% for the year ended November 30, 2023. Shares repurchased
and the corresponding dollar amount are included in the Statement of Changes in Net
Assets. The anti-dilutive impact of these share repurchases is included in the Financial
Highlights.
Since the commencement of the stock repurchase program through May 31, 2024, the Fund
repurchased 845,536 shares or 4.70% of its common shares outstanding for a total amount
of $11,447,947.
8. Recent accounting pronouncement
In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The amendments in the ASU clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of
account of the equity security and, therefore, should not be considered in measuring fair value.
The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2023, with the option of early adoption. Management has reviewed the requirements
and believes that the adoption of the ASU will not have a material impact on the financial
statements.
LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc. 2024 Semi-Annual Report
Board approval of management and
subadvisory agreements (unaudited)
Background
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”), including a majority of its members who are not considered to be “interested persons” under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”) voting separately, approve on an annual basis the continuation of the investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between the Fund and the Fund’s manager, Franklin Templeton Fund Adviser, LLC (formerly, Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC) (the “Manager”), and the sub-advisory agreements (individually, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) with the Manager’s affiliates, ClearBridge Investments, LLC (“ClearBridge”), Western Asset Management Company, LLC (“Western Asset”) and Western Asset Management Company Limited (“Western Asset London,” and with ClearBridge and Western Asset, collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”), with respect to the Fund.
At an in-person meeting (the “Contract Renewal Meeting”) held on May 20-21, 2024, the Board, including the Independent Directors, considered and approved the continuation
of each of the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements for an additional
one-year period. To assist in its consideration of the renewal of each of the Management
Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board received and considered extensive
information (together with the information provided at the Contract Renewal Meeting,
the “Contract Renewal Information”) about the Manager and the Sub-Advisers, as well as the management and sub-advisory arrangements for the Fund and the other closed-end funds
in the same complex under the Board’s purview (the “Franklin Templeton Closed-end Funds”), certain portions of which are discussed below.
A presentation made by the Manager and the Sub-Advisers to the Board at the Contract
Renewal Meeting in connection with the Board’s evaluation of each of the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements encompassed the Fund and other Franklin
Templeton Closed-end Funds. In addition to the Contract Renewal Information, the Board
received performance and other information throughout the year related to the respective
services rendered by the Manager and the Sub-Advisers to the Fund. The Board’s evaluation took into account the information received throughout the year and also reflected
the knowledge and experience gained as members of the Boards of the Fund and other Franklin
Templeton Closed-end Funds with respect to the services provided to the Fund by the
Manager and the Sub-Advisers. The information received and considered by the Board
(including its various committees) in conjunction with both the Contract Renewal 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 each of those years.
LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc.
At a meeting held on April 26, 2024, the Independent Directors, in preparation for
the Contract Renewal Meeting, met in a private session with their independent legal counsel
to review the Contract Renewal Information regarding the Franklin Templeton Closed-end
Funds, including the Fund, received to date. No representatives of the Manager or
the Sub-Advisers participated in this meeting. Following the April 26, 2024 meeting, the Independent Directors submitted certain questions and requests for additional information
to Fund management. The Independent Directors also met in private sessions with their
independent legal counsel to consider the Contract Renewal Information and Fund management’s responses to the Independent Directors’ questions and requests for additional information in advance of and during the Contract Renewal Meeting. The
discussion below reflects all of these reviews.
The Manager provides the Fund with investment advisory and administrative services
pursuant to the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisers together provide the Fund
with investment sub-advisory services pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreements. The
discussion below covers both the advisory and administrative functions being rendered
by the Manager, each such function being encompassed by the Management Agreement, and
the investment sub-advisory functions being rendered by the Sub-Advisers pursuant
to the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
Board Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements
The Independent Directors were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout
the process. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors received a memorandum discussing
the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Management
Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Independent Directors considered the
Management Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement separately during 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 continuation of the Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Directors, 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 continuation of the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements. Each Director may have attributed different weight to the various factors in evaluating
the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
After considering all relevant factors and information, the Board, exercising its
reasonable business judgment, determined that the continuation of the Management Agreement and
Sub-Advisory Agreements were in the best interests of the Fund’s stockholders and approved the continuation of each such agreement for an additional one-year period.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services under the Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements
The Board received and considered Contract Renewal 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 provided by the Manager in its management of the Fund’s affairs and the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Sub-Advisers and the Fund’s other service providers. 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 respective
compliance programs as well as the Fund’s compliance programs 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 and the Sub-Advisers
regarding the Fund’s compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board also considered the risks borne by the Manager, the
Sub-Advisers and their respective affiliates on behalf of the Fund, including entrepreneurial,
operational, reputational, litigation and regulatory risks, as well as the Manager’s and the Sub-Advisers’ risk management processes.
The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds, and responsibilities of the Manager’s senior personnel and the Sub-Advisers’ portfolio management teams primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. The Board also considered, based
on its knowledge of the Manager and its 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 between the Manager and the
Sub-Advisers under the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, respectively, including the Manager’s coordination and oversight of the services provided to the Fund by the Sub-Advisers and other fund service providers and Western Asset’s coordination and oversight of the services provided to the Fund by Western Asset London.
The Management Agreement permits the Manager to delegate certain of its responsibilities, including its investment advisory duties thereunder, provided that
the Manager, in each case, will supervise the activities of the delegee.
In reaching its determinations regarding continuation of the Management Agreement
and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board took into account that Fund stockholders, in
pursuing their investment goals and objectives, may have purchased their shares of
the
LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc.
Fund based upon the reputation and the investment style, philosophy and strategy of
the Manager and the Sub-Advisers, as well as the resources available to the Manager and
the Sub-Advisers.
The Board concluded that, overall, the nature, extent, and quality of the management
and other services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Fund, under the Management
Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements were satisfactory.
The Board received and considered information regarding Fund performance, including
information and analyses (the “Broadridge Performance Information”) for the Fund, as well as for a group of comparable funds (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent third-party provider of investment company data. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology Broadridge
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 Performance Information
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 Board members had received and discussed with the Manager and the Sub-Advisers information throughout the year at periodic intervals comparing the Fund’s performance against its benchmark and against the Fund’s peers. In addition, the Board considered the Fund’s performance in view of overall financial market conditions.
The Broadridge Performance Information comparing the Fund’s performance to that of its Performance Universe, consisting of the Fund and all leveraged closed-end income and
preferred stock funds, regardless of asset size, showed, among other data, that based
on net asset value per share, the Fund’s performance was above the median for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ended December 31, 2023. The Board noted the explanations from
the Manager and the Sub-Advisers regarding the Fund’s relative performance versus the Performance Universe for the various periods.
Based on the reviews and discussions of Fund performance and considering other relevant
factors, including those noted above, the Board concluded, under the circumstances,
that continuation of the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements for an additional one-year period would be consistent with the interests of the Fund and
its stockholders.
Management and Sub-Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee (the “Contractual Management Fee”) and the actual management fee (the “Actual Management Fee”)
LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc.
Board approval of management and
subadvisory agreements (unaudited) (cont’d)
payable by the Fund to the Manager under the Management Agreement and the sub-advisory fees (the “Sub-Advisory Fees”) payable by the Manager to the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreements in view of the nature, extent and overall quality of the
management, investment advisory and other services provided by the Manager and the
Sub-Advisers, respectively. The Board noted that the Sub-Advisory Fees payable to
ClearBridge and Western Asset under their Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Manager
are paid by the Manager, not the Fund, and, accordingly, that the retention of ClearBridge
and Western Asset does not increase the fees or expenses otherwise incurred by the Fund’s stockholders. Similarly, the Board noted that the Sub-Advisory Fee payable to Western
Asset London under its Sub-Advisory Agreement with Western Asset are paid by Western
Asset, not the Fund, and, accordingly, that the retention of Western Asset London
does not increase the fees or expenses otherwise incurred by the Fund’s stockholders.
In addition, the Board received and considered information and analyses prepared by
Broadridge (the “Broadridge Expense Information”) comparing the Contractual Management Fee and the Actual Management Fee and the Fund’s total actual expenses with those of funds in an expense group (the “Expense Group”), as well as a broader group of funds, each selected and provided by Broadridge. The comparison was based upon the constituent
funds’ latest fiscal years. It was noted that while the Board found the Broadridge Expense Information generally useful, they recognized its limitations, including that the
data may vary depending on the selection of the peer group.
The Broadridge Expense Information showed that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee was above the median. The Broadridge Expense Information also showed that the Fund’s Actual Management Fee was below the median based on common share assets and above
the median based on leveraged assets. The Broadridge Expense Information also showed
that the Fund’s actual total expenses were below the median based on both common share assets and leveraged assets. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses and noted the limited size of the Expense Group.
The Board also reviewed Contract Renewal 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, including, where applicable, institutional and separate
accounts. 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, and that the Fund is subject not only
to heightened regulatory requirements relative to institutional clients but also to requirements
for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, 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 view of the different services provided in managing
these other types of clients and funds.
LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc.
The Board considered the overall management fee, the fees of the Sub-Advisers and
the amount of the management fee retained by the Manager after payment of the subadvisory
fees in each case in view 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.
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 were reasonable in view
of the nature, extent and overall quality of the management, investment advisory and
other services provided by the Manager and the Sub-Advisers to the Fund under the Management
Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, respectively.
The Board, as part of the Contract Renewal Information, received an analysis of the
profitability to the Manager and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund
for the Manager’s fiscal years ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022. The Board also received profitability information with respect to the Franklin Templeton fund complex
as a whole. In addition, the Board received Contract Renewal Information with respect to
the Manager’s revenue and cost allocation methodologies used in preparing such profitability data. It was noted that the allocation methodologies had been reviewed by an outside
consultant. The profitability to each of the Sub-Advisers was not considered to be
a material factor in the Board’s considerations since the Sub-Advisory Fee is paid by the Manager in the case of ClearBridge and Western Asset and by Western Asset in the case
of Western Asset London, not the Fund, although the Board noted the affiliation of the
Manager with the Sub-Advisers. The profitability of the Manager and its affiliates
was considered by the Board to be reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality
of services provided to the Fund.
The Board received and discussed Contract Renewal Information concerning whether the
Manager realizes economies of scale if the Fund’s assets grow. The Board noted that because the Fund is a closed-end fund it has limited ability to increase its assets.
The Board determined that the management fee structure was appropriate under the circumstances.
For similar reasons as stated above with respect to the Sub-Advisers’ profitability and the costs of the Sub-Advisers’ provision of services, the Board did not consider the potential for economies of scale in the Sub-Advisers’ management of the Fund to be a material factor in the Board’s consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
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
LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc.
Board approval of management and
subadvisory agreements (unaudited) (cont’d)
additional products and services to the Fund’s stockholders. In view 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 and its affiliates, including the Sub-Advisers, were reasonable.

Dividend reinvestment plan (unaudited)
Unless you elect to receive distributions in cash (i.e., opt-out), all dividends,
including any capital gain dividends and return of capital distributions, on your Common Stock will
be automatically reinvested by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as agent for the stock-
holders (the “Plan Agent”), in additional shares of Common Stock under the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”). You may elect not to participate in the Plan by contacting the Plan Agent. If you do not participate, you will receive all cash distributions
paid by check mailed directly to you by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as dividend paying
agent.
If you participate in the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock you will receive
will be determined as follows:
(1) If the market price of the Common Stock (plus $0.03 per share commission) on the
payment date (or, if the payment date is not a NYSE trading day, the immediately preceding trading day) is equal to or exceeds the net asset value per share of the
Common Stock at the close of trading on the NYSE on the payment date, the Fund will
issue new Common Stock at a price equal to the greater of (a) the net asset value
per share at the close of trading on the NYSE on the payment date or (b) 95% of the market price per share of the Common Stock on the payment date.
(2) If the net asset value per share of the Common Stock exceeds the market price
of the Common Stock (plus $0.03 per share commission) at the close of trading on the
NYSE on the payment date, the Plan Agent will receive the dividend or distribution
in cash and will buy Common Stock in the open market, on the NYSE or elsewhere, for your account as soon as practicable commencing on the trading day following the payment date and terminating no later than the earlier of (a) 30 days after the dividend or distribution payment date, or (b) the payment date for the next succeeding
dividend or distribution to be made to the stockholders; except when necessary to
comply with applicable provisions of the federal securities laws. If during this period:
(i) the market price (plus $0.03 per share commission) rises so that it equals or
exceeds the net asset value per share of the Common Stock at the close of trading
on the NYSE on the payment date before the Plan Agent has completed the open market purchases or (ii) if the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full amount eligible to
be reinvested in open market purchases, the Plan Agent will cease purchasing Common Stock in the open market and the Fund shall issue the remaining Common Stock at a
price per share equal to the greater of (a) the net asset value per share at the close
of trading on the NYSE on the day prior to the issuance of shares for reinvestment or
(b) 95% of the then current market price per share.
Common Stock in your account will be held by the Plan Agent in non-certificated form.
Any proxy you receive will include all shares of Common Stock you have received under
the Plan. You may withdraw from the Plan (i.e., opt-out) by notifying the Plan Agent in
writing at P.O. Box 43006, Providence, RI 02940-3078 or by calling the Plan Agent at 1-888-888-0151.
Such withdrawal will be effective immediately if notice is received by the Plan Agent
not less than ten business days prior to any dividend or distribution record date; otherwise
such withdrawal will be effective as soon as practicable after the Plan Agent’s investment of the most recently declared dividend or distribution on the Common Stock.
LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc.
Plan participants who sell their shares will be charged a service charge (currently
$5.00 per transaction) and the Plan Agent is authorized to deduct brokerage charges actually
incurred from the proceeds (currently $0.05 per share commission). There is no service charge
for reinvestment of your dividends or distributions in Common Stock. However, all participants
will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the Plan Agent when
it makes open market purchases. Because all dividends and distributions will be automatically
reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock, this allows you to add to your investment
through dollar cost averaging, which may lower the average cost of your Common Stock
over time. Dollar cost averaging is a technique for lowering the average cost per
share over time if the Fund’s net asset value declines. While dollar cost averaging has definite advantages, it cannot assure profit or protect against loss in declining markets.
Automatically reinvesting dividends and distributions does not mean that you do not
have to pay income taxes due upon receiving dividends and distributions. Investors will be
subject to income tax on amounts reinvested under the Plan.
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan if, in the judgment of
the Board of Directors, the change is warranted. The Plan may be terminated, amended or supplemented by the Fund upon notice in writing mailed to stockholders at least 30
days prior to the record date for the payment of any dividend or distribution by the Fund
for which the termination or amendment is to be effective. Upon any termination, you will be
sent cash for any fractional share of Common Stock in your account. You may elect to notify
the Plan Agent in advance of such termination to have the Plan Agent sell part or all
of your Common Stock on your behalf. Additional information about the Plan and your account
may be obtained from the Plan Agent at P.O. Box 43006, Providence, RI 02940-3078 or by
calling the Plan Agent at 1-888-888-0151.

(a)(3): As of May 31, 2024 : Investment Professional Compensation
Conflicts of Interest
The Subadviser has adopted compliance policies
and procedures to address a wide range of potential conflicts of interest that could directly impact client portfolios. For example, potential
conflicts of interest may arise in connection with the management of multiple portfolios (including portfolios managed in a personal capacity).
These could include potential conflicts of interest related to the knowledge and timing of a portfolio’s trades, investment opportunities
and broker selection. Portfolio managers are privy to the size, timing, and possible market impact of a portfolio’s trades.
It is possible that an investment opportunity may
be suitable for both a portfolio and other accounts managed by a portfolio manager, but may not be available in sufficient quantities
for both the portfolio and the other accounts to participate fully. Similarly, there may be limited opportunity to sell an investment
held by a portfolio and another account. A conflict may arise where the portfolio manager may have an incentive to treat an account preferentially
as compared to a portfolio because the account pays a performance-based fee or the portfolio manager, the Subadviser or an affiliate has
an interest in the account. The Subadviser has adopted procedures for allocation of portfolio transactions and investment opportunities
across multiple client accounts on a fair and equitable basis over time. Eligible accounts that can participate in a trade generally share
the same price on a pro-rata allocation basis, taking into account differences based on factors such as cash availability, investment
restrictions and guidelines, and portfolio composition versus strategy.
With respect to securities transactions, the Subadviser
determines which broker or dealer to use to execute each order, consistent with their duty to seek best execution of the transaction.
However, with respect to certain other accounts (such as pooled investment vehicles that are not registered investment companies and other
accounts managed for organizations and individuals), the Subadviser may be limited by the client with respect to the selection of brokers
or dealers or may be instructed to direct trades through a particular broker or dealer. In these cases, trades for a portfolio in a particular
security may be placed separately from, rather than aggregated with, such other accounts. Having separate transactions with respect to
a security may temporarily affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the possible detriment
of a portfolio or the other account(s) involved. Additionally, the management of multiple portfolios and/or other accounts may result
in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each portfolio and/or other account. The Subadviser’s
team approach to portfolio management and block trading approach seeks to limit this potential risk.
The Subadviser also maintains a gift and entertainment
policy to address the potential for a business contact to give gifts or host entertainment events that may influence the business judgment
of an employee. Employees are permitted to retain gifts of only a nominal value and are required to make reimbursement for entertainment
events above a certain value. All gifts (except those of a de minimis value) and entertainment events that are given or sponsored by a
business contact are required to be reported in a gift and entertainment log which is reviewed on a regular basis for possible issues.
Employees of the Subadviser have access to transactions
and holdings information regarding client accounts and the Subadviser’s overall trading activities. This information represents
a potential conflict of interest because employees may take advantage of this information as they trade in their personal accounts. Accordingly,
the Subadviser maintains a Code of Ethics that is compliant with Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act
to address personal trading. In addition, the Code of Ethics seeks to establish broader principles of good conduct and fiduciary responsibility
in all aspects of the Subadviser’s business. The Code of Ethics is administered by the Legal and Compliance Department and monitored
through the Subadviser’s compliance monitoring program.
The Subadviser may also face other potential conflicts
of interest with respect to managing client assets, and the description above is not a complete description of every conflict of interest
that could be deemed to exist. The Subadviser also maintains a compliance monitoring program and engages independent auditors to conduct
a SOC1/ISAE 3402 audit on an annual basis. These steps help to ensure that potential conflicts of interest have been addressed.
Investment Professional Compensation
With respect to the compensation of the Fund’s
investment professionals, the Subadviser’s compensation system assigns each employee a total compensation range, which is derived
from annual market surveys that benchmark each role with its job function and peer universe. This method is designed to reward employees
with total compensation reflective of the external market value of their skills, experience and ability to produce desired results. Standard
compensation includes competitive base salaries, generous employee benefits and a retirement plan.
In addition, the Subadviser’s employees are
eligible for bonuses. These are structured to closely align the interests of employees with those of the Subadviser, and are determined
by the professional’s job function and pre-tax performance as measured by a formal review process. All bonuses are completely discretionary.
The principal factor considered is an investment professional’s investment performance versus appropriate peer groups and benchmarks
(e.g., a securities index and with respect to the Fund, the benchmark set forth in the Fund’s Prospectus to which the Fund’s
average annual total returns are compared or, if none, the benchmark set forth in the Fund’s annual report). Performance is reviewed
on a 1, 3 and 5 year basis for compensation—with 3 and 5 years having a larger emphasis. The Subadviser may also measure an investment
professional’s pre-tax investment performance against other benchmarks, as it determines appropriate. Because investment professionals
are generally responsible for multiple accounts (including the Fund) with similar investment strategies, they are generally compensated
on the performance of the aggregate group of similar accounts, rather than a specific account. Other factors that may be considered when
making bonus decisions include client service, business development, length of service to the Subadviser, management or supervisory responsibilities,
contributions to developing business strategy and overall contributions to the Subadviser’s business.
Finally, in order to attract and retain top talent,
all investment professionals are eligible for additional incentives in recognition of outstanding performance. These are determined based
upon the factors described above and include long-term incentives that vest over a set period of time past the award date.
