Lazarus Capital Partners

What Lazarus Capital Partners does

Lazarus Capital Partners is an Australian boutique prime brokerage firm established in 2016 and headquartered in Sydney, with a secondary office in Melbourne via its subsidiary Lazarus Capital (VIC) Pty Ltd. The firm serves institutional clients including hedge funds, asset managers, family offices, broker dealers, proprietary trading firms, and institutional traders, providing a single point of entry to a multi-asset service platform spanning outsourced execution, custody, securities borrow, margin financing, physical FX, collateral management, and reporting across Australian, Asian, European, and US markets.

The firm's underlying technology includes multi-asset prime brokerage infrastructure with integrated execution, clearing, settlement, collateral management, and reporting capabilities, combined with leading electronic trading platforms, algorithmic trade strategies, Direct Market Access (DMA), and FIX protocol connectivity across Cash Equities and Equity Derivatives. Foreign Exchange services are delivered via fully automated end-to-end FX solutions integrated into tier-one investment banks. Lazarus Securities Pty Ltd holds Australian Financial Services Licence 502758, the regulatory foundation enabling the firm to operate as a prime broker and capital markets provider.

Revenue is generated through transaction fees on capital markets execution and FX, recurring fees on prime brokerage services, and likely interest-related revenue from margin financing and securities borrow, with bespoke pricing arrangements for institutional clients rather than standardized published rates. The go-to-market motion is exclusively direct institutional sales through dedicated relationship managers and senior advisors, supplemented by industry award recognition (Global Custodian Prime Brokerage Surveys 2021, 2022, 2025; Hedgeweek reports) and community partnerships. The senior leadership team averages 15-30+ years of capital markets experience drawn from bulge-bracket institutions including JP Morgan and Macquarie, positioning the firm as a senior-relationship-led boutique alternative to traditional prime brokerage providers.
