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.
