Portfolios of Investments (continued)

Valuation of Investments:

Market values for securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), NASDAQ national market or other U.S. exchanges or markets are generally based on the last reported sales price on the principal exchange or market on which the security is traded, generally as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each valuation date; securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the closing bid price. The Lazard Funds, Inc. (the “Fund”) values NASDAQ-traded securities at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not be the last reported sales price in certain instances. Any securities not listed, for which current over-the-counter market quotations or bids are readily available, are valued at the last quoted bid price or, if available, the mean of two such prices. Except as described below, securities listed on foreign exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price; securities listed on foreign exchanges that are not traded on the valuation date are valued at the last quoted bid price. Options on stock and stock indices traded on national securities exchanges are valued as of the close of options trading on such exchanges (which is normally 4:10 p.m. Eastern time). Swap agreements on equity assets are valued at the equity basket price as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on each valuation date. Forward currency contracts are valued at the current cost of offsetting the contracts.

Bonds and other fixed-income securities that are not exchange-traded are valued on the basis of prices provided by pricing services which are based primarily on institutional trading in similar groups of securities, or by using brokers’ quotations. Debt securities maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, except where to do so would not accurately reflect their fair value, in which case such securities are valued at fair value as determined by, or in accordance with procedures approved by, the Board of Directors (the “Board”).

If a significant event materially affecting the value of securities occurs between the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded and the time when a Portfolio’s net asset value is calculated, or when current market quotations otherwise are determined not to be readily available or reliable, such securities will be valued at their fair values as determined by, or in accordance with procedures approved by, the Board. The Valuation Committee of Lazard Asset Management LLC (the “Investment Manager”) may evaluate a variety of factors to determine the fair value of securities for which current market quotations are determined not to be readily available or reliable. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the value of comparable securities, observations from financial institutions and relevant news events. Input from the Investment Manager’s analysts will also be considered. The fair value of foreign securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service, using correlations between the movement of prices of such securities and indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as closing market prices of relevant ADRs or futures contracts. The effect of using fair value pricing is that the net asset value of a Portfolio will reflect the affected securities’ values as determined in the judgment of the Board, or its designee, instead of being determined by the market. Using a fair value pricing methodology to price securities may result in a value that is different than the most recent closing price of a security and from the prices used by other investment companies to calculate their portfolios’ net asset values.

Fair Value Measurements:

Fair value is defined as the price that a Portfolio would receive to sell an asset, or would pay to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the date of measurement. The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures provisions of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) also establish a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement that is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer, broadly, to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

 

 

 

Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

 

 

 

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including unadjusted quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

 

 

 

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities.

The following tables summarize the valuation of the Portfolios’ investments by each fair value hierarchy level as of September 30, 2010:

* Other financial instruments are derivative instruments which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instruments.

Following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value during the period ended September 30, 2010:

Effective March 31, 2010, the Portfolios adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820). The ASU amends GAAP to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosure about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for investments that fall in either Levels 2 or 3 fair value hierarchy. Additionally, the ASU amends disclosures about providing purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis relating to Level 3 measurements. The ASU guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. There were no significant transfers into and out of Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the period ended September 30, 2010.



Item 2. Controls and Procedures.

(a) The Registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded, based on their evaluation of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this report, that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant on Form N-Q is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in the reports that it files or submits on Form N-Q is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) There were no changes to the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Registrant’s most recent fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 3. Exhibits.

          Certifications of principal executive and principal financial officers as required by Rule 30a-2(a) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 are attached as Exhibit 99.CERT.
