This is a financial promotion and is not intended to constitute investment advice.

The Lazard Managed Balanced Fund is a sub-fund of Lazard Investment Funds, a UK-authorised Open Ended Investment Company (“OEIC”) and UCITS.

Investors are reminded that the value of shares and the income from them can fall as well as rise due to stock market and currency movements. When you sell your investment you may get back less than you originally invested. Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the currency in which shares are denominated and currency of investment may have the effect of causing the value of investment to diminish or increase.

**50% of the annual management charge is deducted from the capital of the fund. This will increase the income from the fund but may constrain or erode potential capital growth. The increased income will lead to increased potential income tax liability.

The information provided should not be considered as a recommendation or solicitation to purchase, sell or hold these securities. It should also not be assumed that any investment in these securities was or will be, profitable.

The Authorised Corporate Director of the fund is Lazard Fund Managers Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (“FSA”) and is a member of IMA.
