Composite Description
The composite returns represent the total returns of all fully discretionary, fee-paying, separately
managed account (SMA) portfolios with an International Equity Select with Emerging Markets
ADR - SMA investment mandate and a minimum of $25,000 in assets under management.
Performance presented prior to April 1, 2006 represents the historical track record of Lazard’s
existing International Equity Select with Emerging Markets GIPS compliant composite. This
prior performance is considered supplemental for this separately managed account composite
and also excludes accounts that Lazard historically considered to be non-discretionary. Net of
fee composite performance returns are calculated using a 3.0% total fee assumption and is
presented before taxes. Actual SMA composite results from April 1, 2006 and forward contain
all accounts with bundled fees. Gross of fee results from April 1, 2006 and forward are presented supplemental to compliant net of fee results, as no trading costs are included. Lazard
International Equity Select with Emerging Markets ADR – SMA seeks to generate strong relative
returns over a market cycle by investing in companies with strong and/or improving financial productivity at attractive valuations. The strategy typically invests in securities of non-US companies,
including those from emerging markets, with a market capitalization generally of $5 billion or
greater. The emerging markets equity allocation is implemented by investing in individual securities. The product may invest in issuers’ US denominated equity securities and ordinary shares,
but only if these issuers have US denominated equity securities.
Calculation of Performance Returns
Lazard’s account inclusion policy is the first full month or the end of the month in which the
account is fully invested. The International Equity Select with Emerging Markets ADR - SMA
composite includes accounts that invest in US denominated equity securities of non-US companies. The returns of the individual portfolios within the composite are time-weighted, use trade
date accounting, are based upon monthly portfolio valuations, and include the reinvestment
of all earnings as of the payment date. The composite returns are asset-weighted based upon
beginning period market values. Additional information regarding policies for valuing portfolios,
calculating performance, and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request.
Composite returns are shown before the deduction of taxes and custody fees (except for mutual
funds which includes all fees). The composite and benchmark returns are reported net of foreign
withholding taxes on dividends, interest and capital gains. The composite returns presented
represent past performance and is not a reliable indicator of future results, which may vary. As of
January 1, 2007, this composite was renamed International Equity Select with Emerging Markets
ADR - SMA from International Equity Select with Emerging Markets SMA. Prior to March 2006,
the composite had been named AC International Equity Select - SMA.
Fee Schedule

Select with Emerging Markets ADR - SMA accounts is 0.75%. All-inclusive SMA fee schedules
for each plan sponsor vary and are available through the plan sponsor. A complete list and
description of all Lazard composites is available upon request.

Important Information
Published on 22 January 2015.
Equity securities will fluctuate in price; the value of your investment will thus fluctuate, and this may result in a loss. Securities in certain non-domestic countries may be less liquid, more volatile,
and less subject to governmental supervision than in one’s home market. The values of these securities may be affected by changes in currency rates, application of a country’s specific tax laws,
changes in government administration, and economic and monetary policy. Small- and mid-capitalization stocks may be subject to higher degrees of risk, their earnings may be less predictable,
their prices more volatile, and their liquidity less than that of large-capitalization or more established companies’ securities. Emerging-market securities carry special risks, such as less developed
or less efficient trading markets, a lack of company information, and differing auditing and legal standards. The securities markets of emerging-market countries can be extremely volatile; performance can also be influenced by political, social, and economic factors affecting companies in emerging-market countries.
