About WLEAAX
The Lazard EAFE Small Cap Equity Advantage Fund is a mutual fund focused on international equity investments, specifically targeting small-cap companies based in developed markets across Europe, Australasia, and the Far East (EAFE). The fund's primary objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of smaller, non-U.S. firms that are considered to have growth potential and may be undervalued relative to their peers. By emphasizing small-cap equities, the fund provides exposure to companies that are often at an earlier stage of development compared to large-cap counterparts, offering different risk and return profiles and diversification benefits to investors. Managed by Lazard Asset Management, the fund combines rigorous bottom-up security selection with a disciplined investment process, seeking to generate total returns above its benchmark over a full market cycle. This fund can play a significant role in broadening global diversification for portfolios, as small-cap stocks in international markets may react differently to economic cycles and offer opportunities that are not always available in domestic or large-cap international strategies. As part of a global asset allocation, the Lazard EAFE Small Cap Equity Advantage Fund serves investors aiming to enhance portfolio diversification and capture the growth potential of under-researched international small-cap companies.
