Best Fund Provider – Emerging Market Equity
James Donald
Managing Director, Portfolio Manager/Analyst and Head of Emerging Markets
“We are delighted to be recognised as the Best Fund Provider – Emerging Market Equity by Asian Private Banker. This accolade, following last year’s Portfolio Manager of the Year award, is another testament to the robustness of our emerging markets platform.
“As an emerging markets investment leader with over 35 years of experience, our team has effectively navigated the complexities of this dynamic asset class through various economic cycles, different investment styles, and unique solutions to meet our clients’ specific needs.
“We constantly strive to ensure that our disciplined and differentiated approach will continue to help clients capitalise on opportunities in emerging markets.”

“While it is fair to say that emerging markets equities have not been in favour with U/HNW clientele in recent years, the Lazard Emerging Markets Equity Fund has done a stellar job in terms of delivering long-term outperformance at a lower level of volatility than its benchmark,” said Daniel Shane, editor of Asian Private Banker and head of the Judging Panel at the Asset Management Awards for Excellence 2025.
“Key to this success has been the astute and disciplined approach of portfolio manager James Donald and his team, who have repeatedly proved their mettle when it comes to finding companies in the emerging markets space that offer strong financial productivity at a reasonable valuation. The team have also shown they are not afraid to make big calls, such as an underweight holding of emerging Asia and an overweight tilt towards emerging Latin America.
“Asian Private Banker would like to congratulate everyone at Lazard Asset Management on their success in the competitive Best Fund Provider – Emerging Market Equity category at the Asset Management Awards for Excellence 2025.”
