Lazard Ltd. (LAZ - Free Report) recorded a 5.5% fall in preliminary assets under management (AUM) as of Jan 31, 2022, from the previous month’s reading. The total AUM balance aggregated $258.7 billion, marking a decrease from the prior month’s $273.74 billion.
The January AUM entailed a market depreciation of $9.5 billion, a negative foreign-exchange impact of $1.5 billion and net outflows of $4.1 billion.

Nonetheless, Lazard can capitalize on its forte of organic growth, highlighted by a robust revenue growth trend, which is getting support from a solid AUM balance. Also, LAZ’s prowess in the Financial Advisory and Asset Management segments plus cost-containment measures will help it withstand any headwind that might occur due to economic uncertainties.
The stock’s decline of 7.5% in the past year has been wider than the 5.2% decline witnessed by the industry.
Currently, Lazard carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
