Role of the prime broker

We offer a comprehensive suite of services, including execution, clearing and settlement, collateral management, and reporting. Our state-of-the-art trading platform enables clients to execute trades with speed and efficiency, while our clearing and settlement services ensure that all trades are settled promptly and accurately. Our collateral management services provide clients with the flexibility to manage their collateral in a way that meets their specific needs, and our reporting and analytics tools offer insight into their trades, positions, and performance.

In addition to our core prime brokerage services, we also offer a range of value-added services, including market intelligence and research, risk management support, and customised reporting. Our market intelligence and research services provide clients with up-to-date information on market conditions and trends, while our risk management support helps clients to manage their exposure to risk. Our customized reporting options enable clients to view their trades, positions, and performance data in the format that best suits their needs.

The Lazarus difference

Lazarus has been recognised in several leading industry publications, including the Global Custodian Prime Brokerage Survey 2021, Hedgeweek’s Lazarus Rising 2022 report, and the Prime Brokerage in Focus report, and most recently the Global Custodian Prime Brokerage Survey 2025. Survey results continue to highlight a clear contrast in client satisfaction between traditional and boutique prime brokerage providers, with Lazarus consistently outperforming the peer average across the majority of categories. In 2025, the firm recorded its strongest results to date, achieving an overall score of 6.59.

The latest survey also saw Capital Introduction and Asset Safety achieve perfect scores, with clients highlighting an 'exceptional' platform and 'world-class custody solutions'. Strong performance was also recorded across Fixed Income, Swaps, and Research, alongside Very Good pricing. The Hedgeweek reports further emphasise the advantages of boutique prime brokerage for emerging fund managers, with a focus on high-touch client service and transparency as key differentiators.
