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.

The latest survey also saw clients highlighting an 'exceptional' platform and 'world-class custody solutions'. Strong performance was also recorded across fixed income, swaps, and research, alongside cost effective pricing.
