[[AS_OF_DATE]] | All values in [[CURRENCY]] unless otherwise specified | Performance Inception: [[INCEPTION_DATE]]

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Fund performance fluctuates and currently may be lower than stated. 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 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. The performance figures shown above do not include the cost of insurance fees associated with variable annuities, if fees had been included, the results would be lower.

As of June 1, 2009, the Portfolio changed its name from Retirement US Small Cap Equity Portfolio and adopted the Portfolio’s current investment strategy which compares its performance to the Russell 2500 Index. Prior to June 1, 2009, the Portfolio focused on US small-cap companies and compared its performance to the Russell 2000 Index.
The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 2000/2500 Linked Index, is comprised of the Russell 2000 Index from inception to May 31,2009 and the Russell 2500 Index from June 1, 2009 to the present. The Russell 2000 Index is designed to represent the "small cap" market of US equity securities, composed of approximately 2,000 of the smallest securities in the Russell 3000 Index (The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest US companies, representing most of the investible US equity market.)
The Russell 2500 Index measures the performance of the small to mid-cap segment of the US equity universe, commonly referred to as "smid” cap. The Russell 2500 Index is a subset of the Russell 3000 Index, composed of approximately 2,500 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. (The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest US companies, representing most of the investible US equity market.) The index is unmanaged and has no fees. One cannot invest directly in an index.
Performance for periods shorter than one year has not been annualized.

Beta is a relative measure of the sensitivity of a fund's return to changes in the benchmark's return. The beta of the fund versus its benchmark is the amount (and direction) the fund has historically moved when the benchmark moved by one unit.

Standard deviation measures the dispersion or "spread" of individual observations around their mean. Standard deviation of returns measures a fund's historical volatility, where a higher number is evidence of greater volatility (i.e., higher risk).

Effective Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of a fund’s value to changes in interest rates and accounts for any option features embedded in the fund’s holdings.

Effective Maturity is a measure of the average expected maturity of a fund’s holdings and accounts for actual maturities as well as expected early redemptions.

Unless otherwise noted, characteristics are trailing 12 months.

Dividend yield (%) is calculated by dividing dividends paid by the Fund’s current holdings over the trailing 12 months by the Fund’s NAV.

Please consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. For more complete information about The Lazard Funds, Inc. and current performance, you may obtain a prospectus or summary prospectus by calling 800-823-6300 or going to www.lazardassetmanagement.com. Read the prospectus or summary prospectus carefully before you invest. The prospectus and summary prospectus contain investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses, and other information about the Portfolio and The Lazard Funds that may not be detailed in this document. The Lazard Funds are distributed by Lazard Asset Management Securities LLC.

Understanding Investment Risk
Equity securities will fluctuate in price; the value of your investment will thus fluctuate, and this may result in a loss. Small- and mid-capitalization stocks may be subject to higher degrees of risk, their earnings may be less predictable, their prices more volatile, and their liquidity less than that of large-capitalization or more established companies’ securities.
The Portfolio invests in stocks believed by Lazard to be undervalued, but that may not realize their perceived value for extended periods of time or may never realize their perceived value. The stocks in which the Portfolio invests may respond differently to market and other developments than other types of stocks.
The Portfolio’s investment strategy may involve high portfolio turnover. A portfolio turnover rate of 100%, for example, is equivalent to the Portfolio buying and selling all of its securities once during the course of the year. A high portfolio turnover rate (such as 100% or more) could result in high brokerage costs and an increase in taxable capital gains distributions to the Portfolio’s shareholders.
