**INFORMATION STATEMENT**

**July 3, 2025**

**WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY**

**AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.**

**<u>INTRODUCTION</u>**

This Information Statement is furnished to the shareholders of Thornburg Emerging Markets Managed Account Fund (the "Fund"), a non-diversified, open-end series of Thornburg Investment Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, to inform shareholders of the approval of a change in the Fund's fundamental investment policy with respect to industry concentration.

Under §13(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), no registered investment company shall, unless authorized by the vote of a majority of its outstanding securities, deviate from its policy in respect of concentration of investments in any particular industry, or group of industries. The right to vote the majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund is held by Thornburg Investment Management, Inc., which serves as the Fund's investment advisor ("Thornburg" or the "Advisor"). **The Advisor will, by written consent, approve changing the Fund's industry concentration policy, effective as of July 23, 2025.**

For purposes of this shareholder vote, "majority" of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund means the lesser of (i) 67% of the shares of the Fund present in person or by proxy at a meeting of the holders of more than 50% of the Fund's outstanding shares, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The change in the Fund's industry concentration policy will be included in a supplement to the registration statement of the Fund, which will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). This change will be effective July 23, 2025.

As discussed in more detail in this Information Statement, at a meeting of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board") held on May 14, 2025, the Board approved the approved a change in the Fund's fundamental investment policy with respect to industry concentration. Additionally, the Advisor, as the holder of the right to vote a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities as of July 1, 2025 (the "Record Date") will approve the revised fundamental policy with respect to industry concentration via written consent.

This Information Statement is being sent to shareholders of the Fund on or about July 3, 2025 to fulfill the notice requirement to the Fund's shareholders of record as of the Record Date. This Information Statement describes the approved change to the Fund's industry concentration policy. As of the Record Date, there were 107,198.74 issued and outstanding Class SMA shares of the Fund. Since the Advisor, on behalf of the shareholders with a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund will vote to approve the changes, the remaining shareholders of the Fund are not required to, nor entitled to vote on these matters.

**The Fund's most recent semi-annual report, including financial statements and schedules, is available at no charge by calling 1-800-847-0200.** 

**<u>NO SHAREHOLDER VOTE WILL BE TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THE MATTER DESCRIBED IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT. THE TRUST IS NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE NOT REQUESTED TO SEND US A PROXY.</u>**

**Change to the Fund's Fundamental Policy Regarding Industry Concentration**

The Fund's current fundamental policy with respect to industry concentration is as follows:

*The Fund may invest 25% or more of its total assets in particular industries.*

Concentration in an industry may subject the Fund to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries.

 

The Advisor believes that the modification of the Fund's fundamental policy so that it cannot invest more than 25% of its net assets in a particular industry or industry group will enhance the Fund's ability to pursue its investment objective of long term capital appreciation and will not adversely affect other aspects of the Fund's investment strategies.

The Board determined that it was advisable that the Fund's fundamental policy be changed so that it cannot invest more than 25% of its net assets in a particular industry or industry group. The proposed new fundamental policy with respect to industry concentration is as follows:

 

*The Fund may not, purchase any security if, as a result of such purchase 25% or more of the Fund's total assets (taken at current value) would be invested in securities of issuers in a single industry or group of industries.*

In determining whether an issuer should be classified in a particular industry for purposes of applying the fundamental investment limitation on industry concentration described above, the Advisor may rely on its own analysis of the issuer or on available third-party industry classifications. When using third-party industry classifications for this purpose, the Advisor currently looks to classifications provided by Bloomberg. Securities of the U.S. Government and its agencies and instrumentalities are not considered to represent industries for purposes of the Fund's industry concentration policy.

<br> At a board meeting held on May 14, 2025, the Trustees unanimously approved the above change to the Fund's fundamental policy regarding industry concentration, subject to shareholder approval. The holder(s) of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities as of the Record Date will approve the change in the Fund's fundamental policy with respect to concentration by written consent. The revised fundamental policy will take effect no sooner than 20 calendar days after this Information Statement was sent to shareholders, which is anticipated to be on or about July 23, 2025.
