About LZESX
Lazard International Equity Select Portfolio Open Shares is a mutual fund that aims for long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies located outside the United States. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to large- and mid-cap equities across both developed and select emerging markets, with a focus on companies demonstrating financial productivity and attractive valuations. It employs a value-oriented, bottom-up stock selection process, seeking to identify businesses the managers believe are undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth. This approach may result in sector and country allocations that differ from standard international benchmarks, such as the MSCI EAFE Index. The portfolio is generally concentrated, holding between 30 to 45 stocks at any time, and spans a variety of sectors including technology, energy, industrials, healthcare, and financial services. The fund is designed for investors seeking international diversification and exposure to non-U.S. equities, while emphasizing capital preservation and disciplined risk management.
