Valuation of Investments:

Market values for securities are generally based on the last reported sales price on the principal exchange or market on which the security is traded, generally as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each valuation date. Any securities not listed, for which current over-the-counter market quotations or bids are readily available, are valued at the last quoted bid price or, if available, the mean of two such prices. Securities listed on foreign exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price except as described below; securities listed on foreign exchanges that are not traded on the valuation date are valued at the last quoted bid price. Forward currency contracts are valued at the current cost of offsetting the contracts.

Bonds and other fixed-income securities that are not exchange-traded are valued on the basis of prices provided by pricing services which are based primarily on institutional trading in similar groups of securities, or by using brokers’ quotations.

If a significant event materially affecting the value of securities occurs between the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded and the time when Lazard Global Total Return & Income Fund, Inc.’s (the “Fund”) net asset value is calculated, or when current market quotations otherwise are determined not to readily available or reliable, such securities will be valued at their fair values as determined by, or in accordance with procedures approved by, the Board of Directors. The Valuation Committee of Lazard Asset Management LLC (the “Investment Manager”) may evaluate a variety of factors to determine the fair value of securities for which current market quotations are determined not to be readily available or reliable. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the value of comparable securities, observations from financial institutions and relevant news events. Input from the Investment Manager’s analysts will also be considered.

Fair Value Measurements:

Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset, or would pay to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the date of measurement. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures provisions of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) also establish a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement that is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer, broadly, to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

 

Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

 

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including unadjusted quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

 

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities.

Effective March 31, 2010, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820). The ASU amends GAAP to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosure about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for investments that fall in either Levels 2 or 3 fair value hierarchy. Additionally, the ASU amends disclosures about providing purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis relating to Level 3 measurements. The ASU guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. There were no significant transfers into and out of Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the period ended September 30, 2010.

(b) There were no changes to the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Registrant’s most recent fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
