The fundamental investment objective of Lazard Global Balanced Income Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation and to generate income by investing primarily in the equity and debt securities of issuers based around the globe. By combining equity and debt and periodically readjusting allocations, the Fund seeks to create a lower volatility pattern of returns when compared to global equities.
Lazard employs a team based approach in the management of the Fund. Lazard's strategy is founded on the philosophy that an understanding of the current economic environment can be coupled with research into the drivers of (and risks to) outperformance in the strategies it utilizes to create a portfolio aligned with the current economic cycle.
