1 A LONG-TERM CASE FOR EMERGING MARKETS An Extraordinary Long-Term Opportunity Emerging markets have displayed significant evolution in terms of economic development and capital markets deepening in the last twenty-five years. After a few years of underperformance, emerging markets have regained strength in 216. Going forward, we believe this area of global capital markets is a compelling opportunity for investors.
2 Increasing Share of Global Wealth A Growth Opportunity Emerging Markets in a Global Context Over the last quarter century emerging markets have evolved to command an increasing share of global wealth. Today, emerging markets represent 85% of the world s population, 57% of its GDP, and 38% of its exports. However, their capital markets are still in development: Emerging markets equity and debt indices represent approximately 1% and 3% of global benchmarks, respectively.

3 Demographics and Economic Growth Although there has been a global slowdown in economic growth following the financial crisis, emerging markets are still expected to outpace developed countries in terms of real GDP growth. As emerging markets continue to rebalance their economies over the next few years, we expect this growth to pick up. We believe that, along with demographics, faster economic growth can be a favorable secular trend. Populations in the emerging world are young in most countries, and are in a so-called demographic sweet spot. That is, the dependency ratio (i.e., the ratio of those outside the age range to those aged years) is still in a downward trend for many large emerging countries, such as India, Mexico, Indonesia, and Brazil. In essence, since they have a low dependency ratio, these emerging markets countries will have less government expenditures on social security, health care, and education services used by the youngest and oldest citizens.

4 Growth of the Middle Class In 29, the middle class represented 27% of the world s total population and is expected to reach 42% and 58% by 22 and 23, respectively. With this growth comes an increase in spending power. China and India, with their large populations and economic growth, will not only jump into the top ten, but by 22, will have the top and thirdlargest middle class consumption in the world. By 23, emerging markets will represent six of the top ten countries with the highest middle class consumption.

5 Emerging Markets Have Less Debt than the United States, United Kingdom, and Euro Zone Superior EM Debt/GDP Trajectory Superior EM Debt-to-GDP Ratio While US dollar-denominated debt has increased in many emerging countries, emerging markets debt-to-gdp is still less than half that of the United States and lower than the United Kingdom and euro zone.

Source: IMF 221E Financial Productivity (ROE) at a Discount Emerging markets equities continue to trade at a greater than 3% discount to developed markets equities (as represented by the MSCI World Index). Historically, low valuations for the asset class have proven to be attractive entry points for subsequent long-term performance. After peaking in 211 from years of overinvestment and capital misallocation, return on equity (ROE) in the emerging markets has steadily declined, crossing below developed markets ROE levels in 214. Emerging markets ROE recently regained its superiority to developed markets as emerging countries continue to go through the adjustment and rebalancing cycle.

6 A Case for Active Many investors often choose to enter emerging markets through passive vehicles. We believe this approach to emerging markets has several drawbacks. In our view, two of the most prominent are: Passive products track popular benchmarks, which limit the opportunity set; and The cap-weighted nature of benchmarks may lead to unwanted country and sector exposure Passive Investing Can Introduce Unwanted Biases Nearly 5% of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is composed of financials and technology companies More than 5% of the index is made up of Asian economies, namely China, Korea, and Taiwan Almost 65% of the index consists of large-cap stocks Concentration by sector or country can be even more pronounced from a regional perspective. The MSCI EM Index is Heavily Concentrated in Certain Sectors and Regions Regional Divergence Countries and Sectors LatAm EMEA EM Asia More than 8% represented by 2 countries 4 countries 4 countries 3 largest sectors represent 64% 72% 63% As of 31 December 215 Data are based on MSCI regional indices. Countries LatAm: Mexico, Brazil; EMEA: South Africa, Turkey, Russia, Poland; EM Asia: China, Korea, Taiwan, India. Sectors LatAm: financials, consumer staples, materials; EMEA: financials, energy, consumer discretionary; EM Asia: information technology, financials, consumer discretionary. Source: MSCI
7 Active Management Provides Access to a Wider Opportunity Set Those passive mutual funds tracking emerging markets benchmarks are by extension limited to a narrow subset of emerging companies. More than a decade ago, this may not have been as problematic, as the MSCI Emerging Markets Index included slightly more than one-half of all companies in the opportunity set (MSCI EM Investable Market Index). Today, this figure has dwindled to approximately 3% in other words, passive investing excludes nearly 7% of the emerging markets universe. The EM Opportunity Set Is Significantly Larger than Just the MSCI EM Index Securities 2,8 2,1 1, , , , , ,795 1,813 1, , MSCI EM Index MSCI EM IMI Index 5% As of 31 December 215 Source: MSCI

Lazard is committed to giving our investment professionals the autonomy to develop their own investment views, which are informed by a robust exchange of ideas throughout the firm. Important Information Equity securities will fluctuate in price; the value of your investment will thus fluctuate, and this may result in a loss. Securities in certain non-domestic 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 market 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 market countries can be extremely volatile; performance can also be influenced by political, social, and economic factors affecting companies in emerging market countries.
