Lazard Global Total Return and Income Fund earns a Hold rating due to underperformance versus SPY and unreliable growth alpha. LGI's active strategy fails to deliver consistent total return or defensive ballast, with payouts heavily reliant on capital appreciation. Despite double-digit yields and some tax advantages, LGI's income distributions pressure NAV and show significant return of capital in weak markets.

Lazard Global Total Return and Income Fund is a leveraged, global equity-driven CEF with distributions primarily from NAV growth and capital gains. LGI's 10% distribution rate is not income-driven; payouts fluctuate with market conditions and are often funded by realized gains rather than net investment income. Despite strong long-term NAV performance, LGI trades at a 5.64% discount due to market skepticism about equity-driven distributions.

LGIH's aggressive sales incentives sparked a short-term order surge, but high cancellation rates and shrinking home sizes signal ongoing affordability challenges. Despite historically low valuations, LGIH's deteriorating margins and inability to repurchase shares in Q3 make it less attractive than peers like CCS and TMHC.
