We are driven by an unwavering passion and pursuit for excellence. We harness the full breadth of resources – from our award-winning investment teams to our unparalleled network of industry experts – to deliver the best of Lazard to our clients.”

Our Approach

We are proud of the longstanding partnerships we have with clients across the globe, built upon the highest levels of excellence and integrity. They entrust us to help grow and preserve their assets and ultimately help them achieve their broader missions.

Our distinct and prominent role in the industry affords us opportunities to engage with key decision makers across businesses, governments, and institutions. We provide a specialized depth of knowledge and nuanced perspectives to help clients cut through the clutter and make more informed decisions.

We take a deliberate approach to investing in target markets where we believe differentiated research produces differentiated results. We deliberately do not offer everything to everyone. We focus on high-conviction strategies and partner with clients to deliver bespoke solutions designed to position our clients to achieve long-term value.

Our clients value the direct and ongoing access they have to those making decisions on their behalf—from portfolio managers to on-the-ground experts—ensuring transparency, trust and ongoing partnership every step of their investment journey.

Our investors are passionate about scouring global markets to identify investment opportunities. We value independence of thought, rigorous debate and autonomy of our investment teams –this limits bureaucracy and allows our experts to always invest in the best interests of our clients.
