LAZARD GLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS PLC Lazard Global Investment Funds plc Financial period ended 30 September 2020 5 Investment Manager’s Report Lazard Global Convertibles Recovery Fund Investment Review Over the period from inception 17 August 2020 to 30 September 2020, the Lazard Global Convertibles Recovery Fund (the “Fund”) returned -1.10% in US dollar terms 1. Market Review Since inception to September 2020, global equity markets receded, as investor optimism wavered due to new uncertainties. Despite economic headwinds, world stock markets have trended upward since March, thanks largely to the willingness of investors to look beyond discouraging developments and instead focused on the months ahead, when they hoped that corporate earnings will recover and a vaccine will be found for the coronavirus. The ultra-accommodative monetary policy stances adopted by key central banks, combined with the massive amounts of fiscal stimulus supplied by governments, have served as a backstop for the world economy and buoyed market confidence. In September, however, investors were confronted with a new set of worries, leading to the first decline for global equity markets since March. In the US, September proved to be a volatile, risk-off month, due largely to growing anxiety about the possibility of a contested presidential election result and signs that political dysfunction will impede the enactment of another coronavirus relief bill. Investors were also worried that after five consecutive months of gains, US stock prices had grown too expensive. Despite the market sell-off in the month, the solid gain recorded by the S&P 500 Index in the third quarter marked the best back-to-back quarterly performance for the benchmark since 2009. Across the Atlantic, European equity markets pulled back as the rising number of coronavirus cases across the continent, uncertainty about the future availability of credit from the European Central Bank, and the renewed possibility that the UK might leave the European Union without a trade agreement in place all weighed on risk sentiment. Portfolio Review What Contributed to Returns: • The positions in the transportation sector, in particular cruise operators, contributed positively during the period as booking for 2021 remain on a solid footing • Our exposure to healthcare added to performance as some issuers published encouraging data on key products pipeline • Our selection in North America was additive, generating positive performance on the backdrop of declining US equities prices during the period What Detracted from Returns: • Our positions in the communication sector detracted, in particular in China were competition in the social network and short video space intensified • Our exposure to industrials, in particular in Europe, detracted to performance due to a mix of company specific news and overall sector weakness • Finally, the exposure to energy, and in particular to US Oil and Gas, detracted as oil prices declined globally Outlook We currently observe a high convexity within the asset class, which makes it particularly relevant during volatile times. Convertible bonds have the potential to offer investors a way to participate in rebounds in the equity market while benefiting from a reduced chance of capital impairment, thanks to their bond component. Currently, we observe many undervalued convertible bonds from an equity and/or credit standpoint and expect a continued equity recovery during the coming months. While we believe that the equity recovery will continue, we expect intermittent cycles of sector rotations. These rotations will be especially pronounced between companies involved in cloud computing and e-commerce, as well as those that have

  • Market Monitor
    MARKET MONITOR M&A and financing update 1st Quarter 2020 “There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen” said Vladimir Lenin Indeed for many of us, the last few weeks of “interesting times” seemed undoubtedly like decades. We are hearing “unprecedented” as often as “coronavirus”. An increasingly common sentiment is that “this time is different.” Lately, the comparisons to past events such as the Great Recession, September 11th, and Black Monday have been questioned. But, relatively little attention has been given to the oil price shock that may have more significant long-term economic implications than COVID-19. The lack of precedent, or our ability to recognize precedent where it’s relevant, will test leadership at all levels of the U.S. economy as monetary, fiscal, and regulatory policy levers are being pulled to create a baseline and a path forward. From February 11th to March 12th, the Dow Industrial average dropped 28%, sending the U.S. into a bear market. On March 9th the stock market experienced its first trading halt when the S&P 500 declined 7%. The capital markets took notice and continued forward. On March 12th when the second trading halt occurred the gravity of the situation intensified and the capital markets began to pause. By noon, almost every M&A sale process was stopped due to the very real threat of COVID-19 on the U.S. economy as the hospitality industry closed its doors, social gathering was restricted by local governments, and employers quickly shifted to work from home models.
