Read MoreHide Full Article

Lazard, Inc. (LAZ - Free Report) reported a preliminary asset under management (“AUM”) balance of $232.9 billion for February 2025, a marginal decrease from $233 billion as of Jan. 31, 2025.

The downfall in AUM balance was due to net outflows of $0.8 billion. The AUM was impacted favorably by foreign exchange appreciation of $0.5 billion and market appreciation of $0.1 billion.

LAZ’s February AUM Breakdown

In February, Lazard’s equity assets decreased 0.8% from the prior month’s level to $180 billion.

Fixed-income assets increased 2.7% to $44.6 billion. Other assets grew 2.1% to $8.3 billion from the previous month.

The company’s high reliance on financial advisory fees for most of its revenues and continued net outflows are likely to affect Lazard’s top-line growth in the upcoming period. Nonetheless, cost-management efforts are expected to aid the company’s bottom line in the near term.

AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (AB - Free Report) announced AUM for February 2025. The company’s preliminary month-end AUM of $805 billion reflects a marginal decrease from the end of January 2025.
