Lazard Global Total Return & Income Fund, Inc.

Investment Overview

 

 

Dear Stockholders,

We are pleased to present this report for Lazard Global Total Return & Income Fund, Inc. (“LGI” or the “Fund”), for the quarter ended September 30, 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 third quarter of 2010, the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) performance lagged its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI®) World® Index (the “Index”), in a period of global market strength. However, we are pleased with LGI’s favorable NAV performance since inception. We believe that LGI’s investment thesis remains sound and 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 September 30, 2010)

For the third quarter of 2010, the Fund’s NAV increased 13.1%, underperforming the Index gain of 13.8%. Similarly, the year-to-date NAV loss of 1.9% lagged the Index gain of 2.6%. However, the Fund’s NAV performance has outperformed the Index for the three- and five-year periods and, since inception, has returned 4.6% (annualized) versus 3.7% (annualized) for the Index. Shares of LGI ended the third quarter of 2010 with a market price of $14.93, representing a 7.4% discount to the Fund’s NAV of $16.12.

The Fund’s net assets were $154.8 million as of September 30, 2010, with total leveraged assets of $200.4 million, representing a 22.7% leverage rate. This leverage rate was in line with that at the end of the second quarter.

Within the global equity portfolio, stock selection in the energy and information technology sectors helped performance during the third quarter. However, an overweight exposure to the information technology sector and an underweight exposure to the consumer discretionary sector each detracted from performance, as did stock selection within the consumer discretionary sector. The smaller, short-duration1 emerging market currency and debt portion of the Fund, which rebounded in September, has added value for the year-to-date, and remains a positive contributor to performance for the Fund since inception.

As of September 30, 2010, 67.7% of the Fund’s total leveraged assets consisted of global equities and 25.6% consisted of emerging market currency and debt instruments, while the remaining 6.7% consisted of cash and other net assets.

Declaration of Distributions

Pursuant to LGI’s Level Distribution Policy, the Fund declares, monthly, a distribution equal to 6.25% (on an annualized basis) of the Fund’s NAV on the last business day of the previous year. The current distribution rate per share of $0.08995 is based on the Fund’s NAV of $17.27 on December 31, 2009 and is equal to, on an annualized basis, 7.2% of the Fund’s $14.93 market price as of the close of trading on the NYSE on September 30, 2010. It was estimated that $0.4857 of the $0.8095 distributed per share as of September 30, 2010 may represent a return of capital.

Please note that, available on www.LazardNet.com, are frequent updates on the Fund’s performance, press releases, distribution information, and a monthly fact sheet that provides information about the Fund’s major holdings, sector weightings, regional exposures, and other characteristics, including the notices required by Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Message from the Portfolio Managers

Global Equity Portfolio
(67.7% of total leveraged assets)

The Fund’s 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; Canon Inc., a Japanese manufacturer and distributor of network digital multifunction devices (MFDs), copying machines, printers and cameras; 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 September 30, 2010, 48.5% of these stocks were based in North America, 23.3% were based in Continental Europe (not including the United Kingdom), 15.7% were from the United Kingdom, 6.5% were from Japan, and 6.0% were from the rest of Asia (not including Japan). The global equity portfolio is similarly diversified across a number of industry sectors. The top two sectors, by weight, at September 30, 2010, were information technology (20.2%), which includes computer software, technology hardware, semiconductors, and services companies, and health care (18.5%), which includes health care equipment & services and pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences companies. Other sectors in the portfolio include consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, industrials, materials, financials, and telecommunication services. The average dividend yield on the securities held in the global equity portfolio was approximately 2.8% as of September 30, 2010.

Global Equity Markets Review
Global stock markets rebounded strongly during the third quarter. The Index returned double digits on a U.S. dollar basis, which brought the year-to-date total return into positive territory. This was largely driven by a series of very strong quarterly earnings results. The Index performed particularly well in September, partly fueled by a calmer market environment, as fears of a sovereign default in Europe and a double-dip recession lessened. The market also benefited from cash-rich companies–many of which are in the information technology sector–engaging in merger activities, instituting and raising dividends, and share buybacks.

On a more cautious note, concerns about Ireland’s economy and its banking system increased as the country’s second quarter GDP declined by 1.2%. The U.S. economy remained fragile, as the unemployment rate continued to stagnate and home sales remained weak. The U.S. Federal Reserve announced, late in September, that they were prepared to provide additional support to the economy, if needed, and noted that inflation was somewhat below the desired level. This boosted speculation that it would buy more Treasuries later this year.

Asian markets, with the exception of Japan, performed strongly in the third quarter as investors became more optimistic of a global recovery. Japanese stocks were hurt by worries about the rising yen, which could endanger the recovery of its export-led economy. In response to the yen’s increase, the government intervened in the currency markets for the first time in six years, attempting to depreciate the currency.

Each sector in the Index rose during the third quarter. Telecom services performed well, as the market continued to invest in smartphone adoption and looked for dividend yield. More cyclical sectors, such as materials and energy, also performed well. Sectors that experienced the lowest returns included traditionally defensive sectors such as health care and utilities, while information technology also experienced lower returns due to concerns over the strength of IT spending going forward.

In currency markets, the U.S. dollar weakened against most other major currencies, including the euro and Japanese yen, as it was weighed down by the prospect

of additional asset purchases by the U.S. Federal Reserve. In contrast, the euro strengthened against most other currencies this quarter, as parts of Northern Europe exhibited economic strength.

What Helped and What Hurt LGI
Stock selection in the energy and information technology sectors was a strong driver of performance. Halliburton contributed to positive stock selection within the energy sector having rallied after reporting stronger than expected earnings. Onshore natural gas activity continued to rebound, which enhanced revenues and margins.

In contrast, a high exposure to the information technology sector detracted from returns. As a sector, information technology lagged due to weakness in the consumer-exposed segments and due to volatility in the semiconductor space caused by temporary oversupply. A low exposure, and stock selection, in the consumer discretionary sector, which performed well on improved demand from consumers, also detracted from performance. Comcast underperformed the industry, as it was hit by concerns over regulation.

Emerging Market Currency and Debt Portfolio
(25.6% 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 September 30, 2010, this portfolio consisted of forward currency contracts (77.3%) and sovereign debt obligations (22.7%). The average duration of the emerging market currency and debt portfolio decreased from approximately 5 months to approximately 4 months during the third quarter, with an average yield of 5.2%2 as of September 30, 2010.

Emerging Market Currency and Debt Market Review
Emerging markets’ economic trends continued to outperform during the third quarter, and the record pace of inflows prompted policymakers to take action. While the tightening cycle, interrupted by the risk aversion bout in the second quarter, resumed for countries like India, Chile, and others, emerging markets also had to deal increasingly with large capital inflows generated by their attractive yields and growth prospects. The flow of funds out of developed markets into emerging markets was further exacerbated by headlines of further quantitative easing by the Fed.

Global policy action appeared increasingly uncoordinated and fraught with tension, as the United States increased pressure on China to allow the renminbi to appreciate faster, and the Bank of Japan, after a six-year gap, unilaterally intervened (unsuccessfully) to weaken the yen. With intervention in the currency market proceeding at a frenetic pace, the Brazilian finance minister summed up the situation towards the end of the quarter by talking about a “currency war.”

What Helped and What Hurt LGI
Exposure to emerging markets countries characterized by strong, domestic demand-oriented growth, including Poland, Brazil, and Turkey, helped performance. Similarly, the Fund, through exposure to India and the Philippines, benefited from this theme. In the Philippines, resilient inflows from its overseas work-force continue to support a robust domestic consumption dynamic, impressive economic growth, and a favorable balance of payments outlook. The record emerging markets fund flows since the beginning of the year were directed toward emerging market countries with index representation and deep, liquid capital markets. The highest yielding ones were amongst the biggest beneficiaries of the rotation of global investment flows into emerging markets, most notably Brazil, South Africa, Turkey, and Indonesia. Reduced exposure to Malaysia and Indonesia and a lack of exposure to Taiwan also helped performance. Mexico’s inclusion in the Citibank World Government Bond Index (WGBI), coupled with its central bank’s less interventionist foreign currency exchange stance buoyed the peso, which aided performance. And in South Korea, the current account surplus, foreign inflows, improving economic data, as well as correlated appreciation with the Chinese renminbi’s increased flexibility, generated won “catch-up” gains.

Finally, exposure to frontier and less liquid markets in Zambia, Ghana, and Romania were noteworthy contributors during the third quarter.

 

Russian non-deliverable currency forward exposure hurt performance during the third quarter, owing to ruble depreciation on the back of September’s rapid rise in U.S. dollar demand locally. We had previously reduced exposure to Russia into second quarter’s strength, but took the opportunity offered by the weakness in September to increase our position, given the hefty current account surplus, incipient privatizations, and impressive central bank reserve coverage. A lack of exposure to solid gains realized in Thailand, South Africa, Colombia, and Singapore resulted in missed upsides in those markets.

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 Fund’s 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 “Board”). 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 Manager’s 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 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.

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. 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.

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 Fund’s 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 stock’s 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, 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.

(1)

Each Director also serves as a Director of The Lazard Funds, Inc., Lazard Retirement Series, Inc. and Lazard World Dividend & Income Fund, Inc. (collectively, with the Fund, the “Lazard Funds”). All of the Independent Directors, except Mr. Lieberman, are also board members of Lazard Alternative Strategies Fund, L.L.C., a privately-offered fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and advised by an affiliate of the Investment Manager.

 

 

(2)

It is possible that Mr. Davidson could be deemed to be an affiliate of a company that has an indirect ownership interest in a broker-dealer that the Investment Manager may use to execute portfolio transactions for clients other than the Fund, and thus an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund. However, due to the structure of Mr. Davidson’s relationship with the company and the remote nature of any deemed affiliation with the broker-dealer, Mr. Davidson is not identified as an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund. Mr. Davidson participates in Fund Board meetings as if his status were that of an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act).
