Investment Philosophy
Lazard's investment philosophy is founded on stock selection, with our dedicated portfolio management teams typically drawing upon investment ideas generated by our global research platform. Our style enables us to add value to clients' portfolios by evaluating companies in the same way company management teams measure their own performance. We focus on financial productivity and long-term sustainability of returns, analysing each company as an enterprise, gauging the strengths and weaknesses of management, the company, competitors and the industry.
