Lazard Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Ken Jacobs said that while he wants to hold on to the company’s $240 billion asset-management division, he’d consider a sale if the price were right.
Jacobs said there are many similarities between Lazard Asset Management and OppenheimerFunds, a unit of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co. that’s being sold to Invesco Ltd. for about $5.7 billion. Lazard’s money-management business could attract bidders as well, he said.
