**Associate Private Capital Advisory - Secondaries**

Lazard Private Capital Advisory (“PCA”) is a global business with 9 offices across the U.S., Europe and Asia. The team is comprised of over 80 professionals across two core markets: primary fundraising and secondary advisory. PCA clients include a broad of range of leading private equity, real estate, debt and infrastructure managers and investors who pursue investment opportunities within these alternative investment spaces. Lazard PCA is a recognised leader in these markets and one of the longest tenured firms operating in the space.

**Secondary Advisory**: Lazard advises (i) institutional investors (“LPs”) seeking to generate liquidity from their alternative investment portfolios and (ii) sponsors across private equity, real estate, credit, etc. (“GPs”) seeking to return liquidity to their investors in the form of GP led secondary solutions. Lazard advises our clients on these transactions through, amongst other things, the preparation of materials, financial modelling, new investor / buyer outreach and interaction, process management, etc.

**Primary Fundraising**: Lazard advises private equity, real estate, debt and infrastructure investment fund managers globally in capital raising transactions for the manager’s investment vehicles. This combines advisory / investment banking activity (deal origination, due diligence, strategic and financial advice, structuring, execution) with capital markets functions (sales, distribution).

- The preparation of presentation materials and pitches for prospective clients
