Investment Overview |
|
Dear Stockholders,
We are pleased to present this first quarter report for Lazard Global Total Return & Income Fund, Inc. (LGI or the Fund), for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. LGI is a diversified, closed-end management investment company that began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on April 28, 2004. Its ticker symbol is LGI.
For the first quarter of 2010, the Funds net asset value (NAV) performance was slightly ahead of the benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI®) World® Index (the Index), in a period of global market strength. We are also pleased with LGIs favorable NAV performance since inception. We believe that the Fund has provided investors with an attractive yield and diversification, backed by the extensive experience, commitment, and professional management of Lazard Asset Management LLC (the Investment Manager or Lazard).
Portfolio Update (as of March 31, 2010)
For the first quarter of 2010, the Funds NAV increased 3.3%, slightly outperforming the Index gain of 3.2%. Over the one-year period ended March 31, 2010, the NAV gain of 51.6% was slightly behind the Index return of 52.4%. The Funds NAV performance has outperformed the Index for the three- and five-year periods and, since inception, has returned 5.9% (annualized) versus 4.1% (annualized) for the Index. Shares of LGI ended the first quarter of 2010 with a market price of $15.51, representing a 11.7% discount to the Funds NAV of $17.56.
The Funds net assets were $168.7 million as of March 31, 2010, with total leveraged assets of $219.3 million, representing a 23.1% leverage rate. This leverage rate was a moderate decrease from the 2009 year end level of 28.5%, and still below the Funds historical level since inception (of approximately 30%).
We believe that LGIs investment thesis remains sound, as demonstrated by the Funds favorable relative performance since inception.
Within the global equity portfolio, an underweight exposure to the utilities sector and stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector helped performance during the first quarter. However, stock selection in the financials, healthcare, and consumer staples sectors detracted from performance. The smaller, short-duration1 emerging market currency and debt portion of the Fund continued to perform strongly in the first quarter of 2010, as it did in 2009. This portfolio has also been a positive contributor to performance for the Fund since inception.
As of March 31, 2010, 70.1% of the Funds total leveraged assets consisted of global equities and 25.1% consisted of emerging market currency and debt instruments, while the remaining 4.8% consisted of cash and other net assets.
Declaration of Distributions
Pursuant to LGIs Level Distribution Policy, the Fund declares, monthly, a distribution equal to 6.25% (on an annualized basis) of the Funds NAV on the last business day of the previous year. The current distribution rate per share of $0.08995 is based on the Funds NAV of $17.27 on December 31, 2009 and is equal to, on an annualized basis, 7.0% of the Funds $15.51 market price as of the close of trading on the NYSE on March 31, 2010. It is currently estimated that $0.12683 of the $0.26985 distributed per share as of March 31st may represent a return of capital.

Message from the Portfolio Managers
Global Equity Portfolio
(70.1% of total leveraged assets)
The Funds global equity portfolio is invested primarily in equity securities of large, well-known global companies with strong financial productivity at attractive valuations. Examples include GlaxoSmithKline, a global research-based pharmaceutical company based in the United Kingdom; Bank of New York Mellon, a U.S.-based company that provides financial products and services for institutions and individuals worldwide; Nokia Corp., a Finland-based manufacturer of mobile telephones; and Total SA, a French energy supplier that explores for, produces, refines, transports, and markets oil and natural gas.
Companies held in the global equity portfolio are all based in developed-market regions around the world. As of March 31, 2010, 41.6% of these stocks were based in North America, 29.9% were based in Continental Europe (not including the United Kingdom), 18.6% were from the United Kingdom, 6.7% were from Japan, and 3.2% were from the rest of Asia (not including Japan). The global equity portfolio is similarly well diversified across a number of industry sectors. The top two sectors, by weight, at March 31, 2010, were financials (19.8%), which includes banks, insurance companies, and financial services companies, and information technology (18.9%), which includes computer software, technology hardware, semiconductors, and services companies. Other sectors in the portfolio include consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, health care, industrials, materials, and telecommunication services. The average dividend yield on the securities held in the global equity portfolio was approximately 2.7% as of March 31, 2010.
Global
Equity Markets Review
Global stock markets were volatile, but finished the first
quarter of 2010 slightly higher amid the continuing global economic recovery.
During the period, investors witnessed many developments, including
intensifying sovereign default risk in Europe, tightening credit conditions in
China, monetary policy tightening in Australia and India, proposals to overhaul
the financials sector, and landmark health care legislation in the United
States.
European markets declined amid continuing concerns over the possible repercussions of the debt crisis in Greece, despite the European Unions proposed solution. Furthermore, concerns remained about possible contagion should the situation in Greece deteriorate. Overall, U.S. equities performed well amid the improving economic outlook, while most Asian markets were also higher on continued economic resilience. Australian markets benefited from the strong demand for raw materials, and Japan, which ramped up its quantitative easing measures, also rose during the period.
Industrials was the best-performing sector during the quarter, thanks to positive manufacturing data that pointed toward an industrial recovery. Consumer discretionary and financials were also among the betterperforming sectors, benefiting from the continued economic recovery. The traditionally defensive utilities and telecom services sectors, however, were among the worst performers, as investors favored more cyclical sectors during the quarter.
In currency markets, the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to European currencies due to the relative strength in the U.S. economy and the deteriorating situation in Greece. The U.S. dollar, however, weakened relative to the Australian dollar due to the increasing interest rate differential.

What Helped and What Hurt LGI
The Fund benefited from an underweight exposure in the utilities sector, which
continued to suffer from an oversupply of capacity and declined as investors
rotated into more cyclical industries. Stock selection in the consumer
discretionary sector also helped returns; Home Depot performed well, as its
restructuring initiatives paid off and economic conditions improved.
Conversely, stock selection in the financials sector hurt returns, as Societe Generale and Nomura underperformed due to concerns on regulation, taxes, and Greek sovereign debt. Within the health care sector, an overweight exposure to pharmaceutical stocks, in spite of attractive valuations, hurt relative performance, as markets rotated away from traditionally defensive sectors towards more cyclical areas.
Emerging Market Currency and Debt Portfolio
(25.1% of total leveraged assets)
The Fund also seeks enhanced income through investing in primarily high-yielding, short-duration emerging market forward currency contracts and local currency debt instruments. As of March 31, 2010, this portfolio consisted of forward currency contracts (56.7%), sovereign debt obligations (41.9%) and foreign currency (1.4%). The average duration of the emerging market currency and debt portfolio decreased slightly from approximately 8 months to approximately 7 months during the quarter, with an average yield of 5.2%2 as of quarter end.
Emerging
Market Currency and Debt Market Review
The first quarter of 2010
saw a continuation of the buoyant mood in markets that began in the second
quarter of 2009. Once again, various indicators of risk appetite, such as the
TED spread (the spread between interbank loans and short-term U.S. government
debt) and the Volatility S&P 500® Index, pointed to sustained
positive sentiment. Commodities such as gold, copper, and oil rallied, as did
the stock markets in the United States and emerging markets.
The differentiated performance of the U.S. dollar against major currencies, such as the euro and the Japanese yen, on the one hand, and emerging market currencies on the other, continued. The euro suffered, as Greeces fiscal woes were reflected in the widening credit default swaps; these concerns spilled over into Portugal and Spain as well.
The fact that many markets in Asia, Latin America, and even Eastern Europe performed strongly, in spite of the increasing noise surrounding Greece, is a sign of their vastly improved macroeconomic fundamentals. Impressive growth and industrial production numbers only confirmed the robustness of the revival and steady upturn in global trade. With China taking some steps to ease off from its rapid loan and fixed investment drive, it remains to be seen how well policymakers globally manage the shift to the next phase of the recovery. In the meantime, emerging markets are seeing inflation, and other issues that come with an economic recovery, come through sooner and in a more pronounced fashion. This means that monetary policy tightening through regulations, tolerance for currency strength, or through rate hikes (India, Israel, Malaysia) has already begun in emerging markets, in sharp contrast to developed markets.
What Helped
and What Hurt LGI
Currency appreciation and inflation-linked bond positions in
Turkey benefited performance, as capital flows held up despite political noise
in February. The Mexican peso also appreciated sharply during the quarter,
driven by improving U.S. growth/sentiment and perceived peso undervaluation.
European exposure, specifically to Poland (due to regional growth
outperformance, strong outlook for privatization, and other capital inflows)
and Hungary, where the bond market rallied on the back of fiscal consolidation
efforts under IMF auspices, were strong contributors, exhibiting no spillover
effects from the debt situation in Greece. Asia was the top regional
contributor, led by South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, and India.

Ugandan exposure hurt returns, as the central bank continued its intervention efforts aimed towards building foreign currency reserves and weakening the home currency on a trade-weighted basis; these actions steered the shilling down significantly. Weakness in the banking sector in Serbia was another detractor from performance.

Valuation of Investments:
Market values for securities 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. 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. Securities listed on foreign exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price except as described below; securities listed on foreign exchanges that are not traded on the valuation date are valued at the last quoted bid price. 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.
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 the Funds net asset value is calculated, or when current market quotations otherwise are determined not to 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 of Directors. The Valuation Committee of 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 Managers analysts will also be considered.
Fair Value Measurements:
Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund 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. 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 Funds 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 investments 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 Funds 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.

Effective March 31, 2010, the Fund 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.

Lazard Global Total Return & Income Fund, Inc. |
Dividend Reinvestment Plan |
(unaudited) |
|
Unless you elect to receive distributions in cash (i.e., opt-out), all dividends, including any capital gain distributions, on your Common Stock will be automatically reinvested by Computershare, Inc., as dividend disbursing agent (the Plan Agent), in additional Common Stock under the Funds Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the Plan). You may elect not to participate in the Plan by contacting the Plan Agent. If you do not participate, you will receive all distributions in cash, paid by check mailed directly to you by the Plan Agent.
Under the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock you will receive will be determined on the dividend or distribution payment date, as follows:
|
|
(1) |
If the Common Stock is trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at a price equal to the greater of (i) net asset value per Common Share on that date or (ii) 95% of the Common Stocks market price on that date. |
|
|
(2) |
If the Common Stock is trading below net asset value at the time of valuation, the Plan Agent will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and will purchase Common Stock in the open market, on the NYSE or elsewhere, for the participants accounts. It is possible that the market price for the Common Stock may increase before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases. Therefore, the average purchase price per share paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the purchase of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in Common Stock issued by the Fund. The Plan Agent will use all dividends and distributions received in cash to purchase Common Stock in the open market within 30 days of the valuation date. Interest will not be paid on any uninvested cash payments. |
You may withdraw from the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Plan Agent. If you withdraw or the Plan is terminated, you will receive whole shares in your account under the Plan and you will receive a cash payment for any fraction of a share in your account. If you wish, the Plan Agent will sell your shares and send you the proceeds, minus an initial $15 service fee plus $0.12 per share being liquidated (for processing and brokerage expenses).
The Plan Agent maintains all stockholders accounts in the Plan and gives written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information you may need for tax records. Shares of Common Stock in your account will be held by the Plan Agent in non-certificated form. Any proxy you receive will include all Common Stock you have received under the Plan.
There is no brokerage charge for reinvestment of your dividends or distributions in newly-issued shares of Common Stock. However, all participants will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the Plan Agent when it makes open market purchases.
Automatically reinvesting dividends and distributions does not mean that you do not have to pay income taxes due upon receiving dividends and distributions.
If you hold your Common Stock with a brokerage firm that does not participate in the Plan, you will not be able to participate in the Plan and any dividend reinvestment may be effected on different terms than those described above. Consult your financial advisor for more information.
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan if, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, the change is warranted. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan (other than the service charge when you direct the Plan Agent to sell your Common Stock held in a dividend reinvestment account); however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Additional information about the Plan may be obtained from the Plan Agent at P.O. Box 43010, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-3010.
