Lazard Asset Management is pleased to announce that Sean
Gallagher has joined the firm as Global Head of Lazard’s Small Cap
Equity platform. Based in New York, Mr. Gallagher will have
oversight of Lazard’s small cap strategies and will be responsible
for leading the business through its next phase of growth. Scott
Kolar also joins Lazard’s US Small Cap Equity Select team as a
Portfolio Manager/Analyst.
“We see significant opportunities for active management across
the small cap universe and believe clients will be seeking more
exposure to this asset class going forward,” said Evan Russo, CEO
of Lazard Asset Management. “Today, we are investing in our
platform and expanding our capabilities to take advantage of the
opportunities ahead. We are bringing on skilled investors, and with
Sean, we are getting an experienced leader who has a track record
of building and scaling strategies. These additions further
strengthen our small cap platform and help us best serve our
clients.”
Mr. Gallagher joins Lazard from Connacht Asset Management, where
he was founder and Chief Investment Officer since 2019. Prior to
launching Connacht, he was a Partner at Goldman Sachs Asset
Management (GSAM), spending nearly 18 years in various leadership
roles, including as CIO of GSAM’s Value Equity business, and later
as Co-CIO of GSAM’s US Equity team.
Mr. Gallagher will have oversight of Lazard’s International
Small Cap Equity, European Small Cap Equity, US Small Cap Equity
Select, and Global Small Cap Equity strategies. Leveraging his
experience and leadership skills, he will work with the Portfolio
Managers of each of these strategies to ensure that the teams can
generate the best investment results for clients, while growing the
overall business. Lazard manages approximately $3bn across its four
small cap strategies.
Mr. Kolar also joins from Connacht, and will serve as a
Portfolio Manager/Analyst on Lazard’s US Small Cap Equity Select
strategy, which continues to be led by Janice Davies. Mr. Kolar has
spent the majority of his career at GSAM, where in addition to a
portfolio management role, he was responsible for the firm’s team
of global technology analysts, and later ran its US Growth Equity’s
Non-Large Cap business.
“As clients look for more ways to diversify their portfolios and
generate alpha, small cap strategies offer unique opportunities to
take advantage of market inefficiencies,” said Sean Gallagher.
“Lazard has a strong investment philosophy and process in place to
help clients benefit from small cap strategies and is well
positioned to grow. I am excited about the opportunity at Lazard
Asset Management and look forward to working with the team.”
These additions are the latest senior level hires for Lazard.
Over the last year, Lazard Asset Management has made several
strategic hires to help strengthen its operational structure,
distribution capabilities, and investment platform, as the firm
extends its capabilities to meet evolving client needs.
