LGI: Decent But Imperfect Way To Play The Strength In Foreign Markets
LGI offers high income (10.86% yield) and global equity exposure, appealing to income-focused investors seeking better yields than major indices or bonds. Despite strong yield and decent international diversification, LGI's NAV has declined YTD and it underperformed global benchmarks on a price-return basis. The fund is underweight to the United States relative to the MSCI World Index, which is nice given that foreign markets are outperforming domestic ones.

LGI: A Double-Digit Yield From Global Equity Exposure
Lazard Global Total Return and Income Fund offers a high dividend yield of 11.3%, making it attractive for income-focused investors, despite limited price growth since inception. The fund's strategy includes global equities, emerging market currencies, and leverage, with significant exposure to tech, industrials, and financials sectors. LGI trades at a discount to NAV, but its reliance on net realized gains makes it vulnerable during market downturns and interest rate hikes.
