Mutual Fund · Currency in USD · Last updated Jul 15, 2026

The ClearBridge International Growth Fund (LMGNX) is a mutual fund that invests in non-U.S. companies with solid growth potential in both developed and emerging markets. The fund seeks out companies with both secular and cyclical growth potential while also including a smaller allocation of companies in a transformative stage. The fund employs a research process focusing on valuation, high active share, and a long-term investment horizon.

LMGNX's Sharpe Ratio of 0.50 indicates that for each unit of volatility, it generates 0.50 units of excess return above the risk-free rate. The ratio is calculated using historical daily returns over the past 12 months (as of Jul 15, 2026).

Sharpe uses total volatility (standard deviation) which includes both upside and downside price movements, making it useful for comparing risk-adjusted returns across different assets. For how to read this number and when it can mislead, see Sharpe Ratio Explained.
