The acquisition increases LAM’s wealth management AUM across the globe, including assets handled by the company’s European wealth management division to around $22bn.
It also sees the creation of Lazard Family Office Partners, which will manage nearly $8bn assets in total, including LAM’s current private client business in the US.
Lazard Family Office Partners will offer advice and investment services to both public and private markets.
The entity will further deliver its advice services across various segments, comprising wealth transfer, tax planning and philanthropy in addition to operational solutions, cash flow, and liquidity planning.
