About LZEMX

Lazard Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio Institutional Shares is an open-end mutual fund designed to provide exposure to equities in emerging market countries. Managed by Lazard Asset Management, the fund primarily invests in non-U.S. companies whose principal activities are located in emerging markets and that are considered undervalued based on metrics such as earnings, cash flow, or asset values. The portfolio typically holds a diversified basket of common stocks across various industries, with a focus on large-value investment style, and the top sector allocations often include technology, financial services, and communication services. This fund aims to capture growth potential in dynamic and rapidly developing economies, offering investors access to regions that may be underrepresented in developed market indices. It features a moderate turnover rate and pays distributions on a semiannual basis. With a substantial asset base and institutional share class structure, the fund caters to larger investors seeking professionally managed exposure to emerging market equities as a component of global diversification strategies.
