Asia-Pacific is a core part of Lazard CL’s global platform, with teams based in Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, and Melbourne.

The region is the world's fastest-growing private capital market, reflecting the accelerating maturity of the local institutional capital base.

Local market dynamics require specialist insight: sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and insurers across Japan, Korea, Singapore, Australia and Greater China each operate under distinct regulatory regimes, currency considerations and allocation frameworks, with capital increasingly directed toward infrastructure, real assets and private credit strategies.

Our Asia-Pacific presence works in close coordination with our North American and European teams, giving clients raising capital or exploring secondary and GP capital solutions direct access to the region's institutional investors — including many of Asia-Pacific's largest sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, and asset managers — as part of a single, globally coordinated process.
