About LZSCX

Lazard US Small Cap Equity Select Portfolio Institutional Shares is an open-end mutual fund specializing in U.S. small-cap equities. Managed by Lazard Asset Management LLC since its inception in 1991, the fund’s primary objective is long-term capital appreciation through investment in common stocks of small-cap companies, typically aligning with the market capitalization range of the Russell 2000 Index. At least 80% of its assets are allocated to U.S. small- and mid-cap equities, offering exposure to a broad spectrum of industries and sectors across the U.S. economy. The portfolio employs a blend strategy, aiming for a balance between growth and value stocks and using bottom-up, fundamental analysis to select investments. With a diversified portfolio—typically holding over 70 securities—the fund represents a focused approach to capturing the growth potential of emerging and established small-cap U.S. businesses. It is benchmarked against indices like the Russell 2000 and Russell 2500, and is structured for institutional investors seeking an actively managed, research-driven approach to the small-cap segment of the equity market.
