Fixed Income Portfolio Managers/Analysts participate actively in Lazard Frères Gestion’s proprietary ESG analysis process and integrate ESG criteria across all strategies. They make sure that fixed income portfolios include the most advanced issuers in terms of ESG practices and commitments, while ensuring that the spread remains attractive from a credit risk perspective.

To that end, the Fixed Income investment process excludes issuers considered as laggards in terms of ESG and limits exposure to average ESG performers. Moreover, SRI funds follow the strict requirements of the French SRI certification label. The team also initiates extensive dialogue and engages actively to promote the implementation of good ESG practices among issuers.

Copies of the full Prospectus, the relevant Key Investor Information Document (KIID) and the most recent Report and Accounts are available in English, and other languages where appropriate, on request from the address below or at www.lazardfreresgestion.fr. Investors and potential investors should read and note the risk warnings in the Prospectus and relevant KIID.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount you invested. Any yield quoted is gross and is not guaranteed. It is subject to fees, taxation (particularly where presented gross of fees and taxes, which is specifically relevant for retail clients with Belgian residence) and charges within the Fund and the investor will receive less than the gross yield. There can be no assurance that the Fund's objectives or performance target will be achieved. Any views expressed herein are subject to change. The returns from your investment may be affected by changes in the exchange rate between the Fund's base currency, the currency of the Fund's investments, your share class and your home currency. The information provided herein should not be considered a recommendation or solicitation to purchase, retain or sell any particular security. It should also not be assumed that any investment in these securities was or will be profitable. The tax treatment of each client will vary and you should seek professional tax advice. For any complaints, please contact the representative of the LFM, LAM, or LFG office for your country. The contents of this document are confidential and should not be disclosed other than to the person or persons for whom it is intended.

Emerging and developing markets: Emerging and developing markets can face significant political, economic or structural challenges. The portfolio may experience delays in buying, selling and claiming ownership of investments and there is an increased risk that the portfolio may not get back the money invested.

Fixed income: Yields from bonds reflect in part the risk rating of the bond issuer. Investment in lower rated bonds increases the risk of default on repayment and the risk to capital of the portfolio. High yielding assets may carry a greater risk of capital values falling or have limited prospects of capital growth or recovery. Investment in high yield securities involves a high degree of risk to both capital and income.

Derivatives: The portfolio invests in financial derivative instruments ("FDIs"). While the use of FDIs can be beneficial, they also involve risks different from, and in certain cases, greater than, the risks presented by more traditional investments. FDIs may be subject to sudden, unexpected and substantial price movements that are not always predictable. This can increase the volatility of the portfolio’s Net Asset Value. FDIs do not always totally track the value of the securities, rates or indices they are designed to track. The use of FDIs to gain greater exposure to securities, rates or indices than by a direct investment, increases the possibility for profit but also increases the risk of loss. The Fund is also subject to the risk of the insolvency or default of its counterparties to FDI investments. In such events the Fund may have limited recourse against the counterparty and may experiences losses.
