Opalesque Industry Update - SYZ Asset Management (SYZ AM), the institutional asset management arm of the SYZ Group, has expanded its offering of quantitative solutions through the launch of OYSTER Equity Premia Global. This new offering builds on the strong success of the OYSTER Market Neutral Europe fund and will similarly seek to deliver alpha-rich returns while aiming to maintain a near zero equity beta over time. In order to support initial asset growth and reward early investors, a one-year discount of 50% on the management fees will be offered.
SYZ AM risk premia delivers returns and strong risk control Commenting on the strategy, Guido Bolliger, Portfolio Manager and Co-Head of Quantitative Investment Solutions, said: "Our solution focuses on premia present in equity markets and seeks to offer the prospect of stable, alpha-rich returns disconnected from broader market behaviour. Benoît Vaucher, Portfolio Manager added "The fund aims to offer an alternative source of returns in an environment of low-rates and stretched valuations". The three-member strong team, which includes Mr. Bolliger, Mr. Vaucher and Co-Head of Quantitative Investment Solutions, Mr. Claude Cornioley, achieved a net return of +5.24% for the OYSTER Market Neutral Europe, placing it among the top quartile of its peer group.
Consistent performance over market cycles
Stable returns in uncertain markets Katia Coudray, CEO of SYZ Asset Management remarked, "The result of our investment in this new investment strategy, which represents an added expertise among our product range, has been quite satisfying." She added, "Our dedicated quantitative investment team is delivering performance consistent with our DNA of alpha-generation - but in this case, through a long/short, beta-neutral approach rather than long-only". The OYSTER Equity Premia Global fund is registered in 8 European countries: Luxembourg, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, France, Austria, and will be later available in other European countries. In order to support initial asset growth and reward early investors, a one-year discount of 50%[3] on the management fees will be offered. |
