Lazard International Dynamic Equity ETF (IDEQ)
IDEQ is an active ETF designed to capitalize on a diversified portfolio of international equities—where geographic exposure meets strategic opportunity.
An Advantage in International Equities
When international equity markets have faced sustained headwinds—from geopolitical uncertainty to currency depreciation—IDEQ’s systematic, bottom-up process has navigated volatility to deliver consistent excess returns relative to both its benchmark and the broader peer universe.

ETF performance fluctuates and currently may be lower than stated. An investor may obtain standardized performance and data current to the most recent month-end online at www.LazardAssetManagement.com. The investment return and principal value of the Portfolio will fluctuate; an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns of certain share classes reflect reimbursement of expenses as described in the prospectus. Had expenses not been reimbursed, returns would have been lower and the expense ratio would have been higher. IDEQ gross expense ratio is 0.40%.

- We avoid overexposure to any one factor to ensure consistent performance and avoid style swings.

Forward-looking figures represent expected returns. Expected returns do not represent a promise or guarantee of future results and are subject to change.
Equity securities will fluctuate in price; the value of your investment will thus fluctuate, and this may result in a loss. Securities in certain nondomestic countries may be less liquid, more volatile, and less subject to governmental supervision than in one’s home market. The values of these securities may be affected by changes in currency rates, application of a country’s specific tax laws, changes in government administration, and economic and monetary policy. Emerging markets securities carry special risks, such as less developed or less efficient trading markets, a lack of company information, and differing auditing and legal standards. The securities markets of emerging markets countries can be extremely volatile; performance can also be influenced by political, social, and economic factors affecting companies in emerging markets countries.

The MSCI All Country World ex-US Index (ACWI ex-US) is a free-float-adjusted, market capitalization–weighted index designed to measure the performance of developed and emerging equity markets outside the United States. The index is unmanaged and has no fees. One cannot invest directly in an index.
