Valuation of Investments:

Net asset value per share for each Class of each Portfolio is determined by State Street Bank and Trust Company for The Lazard Funds, Inc. (the “Fund”) on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is open for business. Market values for securities listed on the NYSE, NASDAQ national market or other US or foreign exchanges or markets are generally based on the last reported sales price on the exchange or market on which the security is principally 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 most recent quoted bid price. The Fund values NASDAQ-traded securities at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not be the last reported sales price in certain instances. Swap agreements, such as credit default and interest rate swap agreements and swap agreements with respect to equity securities, are valued by an independent pricing service. Forward currency contracts are valued using quotations from an independent pricing service. Investments in money market funds are valued at the fund’s net asset value. Repurchase agreements are valued at the principal amounts plus accrued interest.

 

Bonds and other fixed-income securities that are not exchange-traded are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services which are based primarily on institutional trading in similar groups of securities, or by using brokers’ quotations or a matrix system which considers such factors as other security prices, yields and maturities. Debt securities maturing in 60 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”).

 

The Valuation Committee of Lazard Asset Management LLC (the “Investment Manager”), which meets periodically under the direction of the Board, may evaluate a variety of factors to determine the fair value of securities for which 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 also will be considered.

 

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 (including restricted or other illiquid securities such as certain derivative instruments), such securities will be valued at their fair value as determined by, or in accordance with procedures approved by, the Board. The fair value of non-US securities may be determined with the assistance of an independent pricing service using correlations between the movement of prices of such securities and indices of US securities and other appropriate indicators, such as closing market prices of relevant ADRs or futures contracts. Non-US securities may trade on days when a Portfolio is not open for business, thus affecting the value of the Portfolio’s assets on days when Portfolio shareholders may not be able to buy or sell Portfolio shares.

 

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 from 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 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, 2013:

Certain common stocks (See footnote (e)) included in Level 2 were valued based on reference to similar securities from the same issuers which were trading on active markets. The fixed-income securities included in Level 2 were valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. The forward currency contracts included in Level 2 were valued using quotations provided by an independent pricing service. The options included in Level 2 were valued at the last sales prices at the close of business of the exchanges on which they trade. The swap agreements included in Level 2 were valued by an independent pricing service. The short-term investment included in Level 2 (a money market fund) was valued at the fund’s net asset value. The repurchase agreements included in Level 2 were valued at the principal amounts plus accrued interest.

 

The fair value measurement process for the Level 3 preferred stock of Better Place, Inc., a company that was working to build the infrastructure to deliver a range of services relating to the use of electric vehicles, including battery charging and swap stations, includes significant unobservable inputs, including the recent bankruptcy filing of the company, which is reflected in its current valuation of zero.

 

In connection with the periodic implementation of fair value pricing procedures with respect to non-US securities, certain equity securities (other than those securities described in footnote (e)) in the Global Listed Infrastructure, International Equity, International Equity Select, International Strategic Equity, International Small Cap Equity, Emerging Market Equity, Developing Markets Equity, Emerging Markets Equity Blend, Emerging Markets Multi-Strategy, and Global Realty Equity Portfolios were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 as a result of fair value pricing procedure triggers being met and would revert to Level 1 when the fair value pricing procedure triggers are no longer met. There were no other transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the period ended September 30, 2013.

 

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, 2013:
