Wednesday, June 19, 2019

The new Lazard U.S. Systematic Equity team comprised of Oren Shiran, Philip Summe, Stefan Tang, and Seavan Sternheim, focuses on capturing fundamental insights within a quantitative framework.

The team joins LAM from Baylight Capital, which they founded in 2013. Each team member brings with them diverse knowledge and experience across disciplines, including financial markets, mathematics, and computer science.

Their differentiated approach and unique perspectives will enhance our global investment platform and add value for our clients," said Nathan Paul, Chief Business Officer of LAM.
