Fund Objective
The Fund will invest in listed companies which we consider have an “economic franchise”, meaning companies which we believe have a higher degree of earnings forecastability. The Fund may also invest in initial public offerings, that meet our definition of an economic franchise and which are expected to be listed within 3 months from the date of purchase. The number of securities will generally range from 25 to 50 which means Lazard makes active investment decisions as to which securities the Fund holds.
