Square Mile Investment Consulting has evicted the Lazard Emerging Markets Core Equity fund from its ratings academy following significant investor redemptions.
During February 2021, the fund s assets fell from $100m to $11m. Square Mile said the fund is based on a much larger overall strategy to which Lazard remains committed, and it is managed by lead portfolio manager Stephen Russell using a well-established investment process. However, at the current size, the analysts felt the fund was too small to continue to support within the Academy of Funds.
