  • Lazard Japanese Strategic Equity Fund Monthly Commentary
    Lazard Japanese Strategic Equity Fund AUG Commentary 2021 Market Overview Markets were on the weak side for the rst few weeks of the month due to concerns that rapidly increasing delta variant cases around the world would side-track the current global economic recovery following pandemic period lows. However, the market made a strong recovery in the last week-and-a-half, with the TOPIX Total Return index nishing the month up a solid 3.2% in yen terms. Tokyo managed to host a reasonably successful Olympics and Japan even produced a strong showing in the medal count, particularly in gold medals. Portfolio Review During the month, the portfolio underperformed the TOPIX Total Return Index which returned 3.2% in yen terms. Being underweight and stock selection in consumer discretionary, and stock selection in the materials and utilities sectors were top contributors to performance. Being underweight and stock selection in health care, stock selection in communication services, and being underweight and stock selection in information technology sectors were negative. During the month, the top positive contributors to relative performance included: • Nippon Steel, Japan’s largest steel manufacturer, was strong after reporting better-than-expected rst-quarter earnings and raising its full-year guidance. • Mitsui O.S.K.Lines, a leading shipping company, continued to rise due to stronger-than-expected earnings and a better-than- expected dividend increase. • Makita, a leading global manufacturer of power tools, raised full-year guidance as its rst-quarter saw continued strong demand globally. • Dai-ichi Life Holdings, a leading life insurance company, rose as the yield on 10-year U.S.
