SYZ Capital will also incorporate Cédric Vuignier, who is in charge of alternative research and investments at SYZ Asset Management, and his team.

The team will retain the management of the OYSTER Alternative Uncorrelated fund and the OYSTER Alternative Multi Strategy fund along with a white label UCITS Alternative offering.

SYZ Capital CEO Marc Syz said: “Merging our liquid and illiquid offerings will enable our clients to access and benefit from a range of attractive investment solutions alongside our family.

“Alternatives will help investors navigate this difficult market environment, while uncovering uncorrelated sources of consistent alpha.

“Liquid alternatives, such as hedge funds, are recognised for their reduced correlation to traditional asset classes, which allow them to generate attractive returns across market cycles with low levels of volatility.”
