Lazard Global Total Return and Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE: LGI) has confirmed a monthly distribution of $0.15340 per share on its outstanding common stock, payable Sept. 22, 2026, to shareholders of record as of Sept. 10, 2026.

According to a press release, the distribution is sourced from net investment income (31%), net realized long-term capital gains (38%), and return of capital (31%). No short-term capital gains contributed to the current distribution.

For the fiscal year to date, cumulative distributions total $1.22720 per share, with return of capital accounting for 52%, long-term capital gains for 36%, and net investment income for 12%.

The fund's annualized current distribution rate, expressed as a percentage of net asset value as of July 31, 2026, stands at 10.04%. The average annual total return in relation to NAV for the five-year period ending July 31, 2026, was 5.77%. The cumulative total return for the fiscal year through July 31, 2026, was 5.86%.

The fund noted that it estimates it has distributed more than its net investment income and net realized capital gains, meaning a portion of the distribution may represent a return of capital. The fund cautioned that distribution amounts should not be used to draw conclusions about investment performance.

Lazard Asset Management, an indirect subsidiary of Lazard, Inc. (NYSE: LAZ), serves as the fund's investment manager. As of July 31, 2026, Lazard Asset Management and affiliated companies managed $286.9 billion in client assets.
