Manager John McClain's abrupt July 2025 exit for another opportunity lessens but does not erase the long-term appeal of BrandywineGlobal High Yield. In many ways over the years, this team has benefited from its tight-knit setup, but this arrangement also leaves the strategy especially vulnerable to personnel changes. In response, we have lowered its People and Process ratings to Above Average from High.
