high - the performance of LZESX is closely tied to global economic conditions, as stronger GDP growth typically leads to higher equity valuations and increased investor appetite for risk.
Rising interest rates can negatively impact equity valuations, leading to reduced inflows as investors may seek fixed-income alternatives. Additionally, higher rates can increase the cost of capital for companies, potentially affecting earnings growth.
minimal - the fund does not have significant direct credit exposure, but broader credit market conditions can influence equity market sentiment.
growth - investors seeking capital appreciation through international equity exposure and willing to accept market volatility.
moderate - historical volatility is influenced by equity market fluctuations, but the fund's diversified approach helps mitigate extreme movements.
