Asset management and financial advisory for institutional and private wealth clients in France
Lazard Frères Gestion is the French asset management subsidiary of the Lazard Group, operating within a 3,000-person global organization across 27 countries. The project backlog reveals a strong internal push toward ESG integration—spanning strategy, reporting, platform development, and client offerings—paired with active exploration of AI for tender automation. The hiring mix (skewed toward interns and entry-level roles across finance, sales, and marketing) and focus on process automation suggest the firm is scaling operational capacity in response to regulatory and client demand rather than fundamental product pivots.
Lazard Frères Gestion manages listed securities and financial advisory for both institutional and private wealth clients. The firm is the asset management arm of the broader Lazard Group, which oversees $217 billion in assets globally and maintains research teams of over 100 analysts. Operations are based in Paris with hiring concentrated in France. Core competencies include private wealth management (Gestion Privée), institutional asset management (Gestion Institutionnelle), financial advisory, and broader investment services. Current initiatives focus on ESG product expansion, regulatory compliance automation, and internal process efficiency.
