???? ??? ???? ??????? ?????? ???? ?? ???????? ??? Laz Partners.
??We delivered 36% year-on-year revenue growth, despite a challenging backdrop across many parts of the market
??Nearly 60% of revenue (and 40% of placements) now coming from outside the UK
??We made meaningful upgrades across processes, technology, and operating discipline, driving significantly more efficiency
??We worked in close partnership - mostly on a fully exclusive or retained basis - with some of the most sophisticated alternative managers, asset managers, hedge funds, sell-side institutions, and insurers globally
The business itself has developed a lot since day one.
When I originally started Laz Partners after pivoting out of macro sales, the focus was firmly on multi-asset portfolio management and strategy.
Over time, and very deliberately, that coverage has evolved significantly, and today our primary coverage spans portfolio management, research, structuring, solutions, and quant talent across:

This evolution has been driven by client demand, market structure, and where we believe we can add the most value at the very highest level.
A huge thank you to our clients for the trust they continue to place in us, and to the Laz Partners team for the commitment, judgment, and intensity they bring to the work every day. We operate in highly technical markets, and the learning curve never stops - which is exactly what makes the work so rewarding.
Looking ahead, there is a lot to be excited about.
A key focus next year will be expanding our team, while doubling down on our insurance expertise, alongside our traditional core specialisations.
One thing I want to acknowledge openly - and with gratitude - is that one of the hardest parts of this job is only being able to directly help a small percentage of the people who reach out to us. The volume of messages, emails, and WhatsApps we receive is humbling, even if it means we cannot respond to everyone as quickly or as often as we would like.
One of our goals next year is to add more value at scale through high-quality, original (non AI-generated) content and market insight - aimed at both candidates and clients - even where we cannot immediately work together.
To everyone in our network - thank you for the support, trust, and engagement throughout the year.
And to the Laz Partners team - thank you for all the hard work you have put in. Let’s make 2026 a big one!
