Our read on TEKY
CLazard's 2025 entry into the crowded AI aisle: a worldwide next-gen tech portfolio run without a tracking index, priced under the typical fee in its peer group. Still small and thinly traded.
The Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity and equity-related securities of or related to next-generation technology companies worldwide, including companies involved in artificial intelligence and automation.
Why people hold it
- 0.60% expense ratio, below the median fee for its AI-theme peer group.
- No declared index. The mandate is at least 80% of net assets in next-gen tech equities worldwide, including AI and automation, with the picks left to Lazard.
- What it owns lines up closely with what it says it does, and it sits in the upper half of its AI-theme cohort.
Worth knowing
- Thin trading and a modest asset base mean the gap between buy and sell prices can be wider than at the giants in this category.
- Cheaper shelf-mates exist: XAIX at 0.35% and QTUM at 0.40% both undercut it.
- Launched in 2025, so the track record is short. Distributions come once or twice a year, not monthly.
