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.

The Strategies of Piano Manufacturers: Crafts, Industry and Marketing
The Strategies of Piano Manufacturers: Crafts, Industry and Marketing Yuko Oki, Toyo University, Japan The IAFOR International Conference on Arts & Humanities – Hawaii 2017 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract The piano was invented at the beginning of the 18th century in Europe, and thereafter was developed chiefly in Great Britain during its Industrial Revolution. New manufacturers appeared in the latter half of the 19th century to challenge the older makers such as Bösendorfer of Vienna and Érard and Pleyel of France. The advent of these new makers—Bechstein, Blüthner and Steinway & Sons—led to expanding intense competition. With Steinway's technological innovation, however, the centre of piano manufacture shifted to the United States. In fact, Steinway pianos are still loved today by professional pianists. Meanwhile, the latecomer, Yamaha, adopted a system of mass-manufacturing using automated assembly-line production. Yamaha, enabled by its marketing strategies, soon became a pioneer in the market of Japan and abroad. It went on to become the largest maker of musical instruments in the world, in terms of production quantities. Yamaha has a broad fan base, and it has been to some extent a threat to the Steinway business. Steinway was established at a favorable time, when America's piano market was already expanding. Building on the piano manufacturing technologies already established in Germany, Steinway & Sons' technical innovations perfected the piano as a musical instrument, and the company successfully protected its patent rights. Yamaha, meanwhile, was founded when the piano was already a fully developed musical instrument, and the company successfully focused on how best to mimic manufacturing methods, and efficiently standardize and mass produce its products.

The 88Th Term Interim Report (PDF 519KB)
The 88th Term Interim Report April 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012 Index To Our Shareholders ………………… 1 Topics …………………………………… 3 Summary of Consolidated Financial Statements … 7 Information about NSSMC shares …… 9 Securities Code: 5401 010_0299302832412.indd 2 2012/12/07 17:17:44 To Our Shareholders We would like to thank you for your continued understanding and support. On October 1, 2012, Nippon Steel Corporation (hereinafter referred to as “the former Nippon Steel”) and Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “the former Sumitomo Metals”), have merged to become Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation (hereinafter referred to as “NSSMC”). The climate of the steel business is changing faster and more drastically than it has ever been. Facing this challenge, we will act speedily and decisively to raise our corporate value and achieve sustainable growth. (Overview of Business Operations and Performance for the First Half of Fiscal 2012) President & COO, Tomono (left) and Chairman & CEO, Muneoka (right) We would like to present the overview of business operations during the first half of fiscal 2012 (April 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012). The slowdown of the global economy intensified during the first half of fiscal 2012 due to recessive economic conditions in Europe and slowing growth in China and other emerging economies. The Japanese economy continued to gradually recover as consumer spending and private capital investment remained favorable despite being influenced by the persistently record-high yen and the slowdown in overseas economies. Under such an environment, domestic demand for steel remained relatively constant due to solid demand for construction and automobile manufacturing, despite a large decrease in demand for use in shipbuilding.
