Syz Group, a Swiss financial group, has launched a private markets investment unit that will tap investment opportunities in those areas of private markets that often get less exposure owing to small size or complexity.
Dubbed Syz Capital, the new unit will serve as the fourth business of the group. It will offer thematic funds and co-investment vehicles, advisory services and capital structuring solutions.
