What performance?

  

SYZ &  CO is committed to performance. But what exactly do we mean by "performance"?

An absolute performance objective

Our aim is not to outperform an abstract and sometimes arbitrary benchmark index, but rather to try and achieve a positive result regardless of the market trend. In practical terms, our aim is therefore to achieve a performance higher than the short-term interest rate.

Management which takes its responsibilities seriously

To achieve our aim, we therefore manage market risk by means of active and dynamic asset allocation. Our management style is guided by conviction; based on our economic scenarios, it may lead us to take positions significantly different from index weightings.

One priority: steady returns

Working on the principle that steady growth is more reassuring and satisfactory than returns which fluctuate up and down, our management style aims to minimize unnecessary volatility as much as possible. Of course, when the stock markets fall sharply, it is not always possible to deliver a positive short-term result. By contrast, our management philosophy means that your capital remains better protected, as is demonstrated by our results during bear markets.

A commitment to excellence highlighted by performance-based fees

To demonstrate its commitment to management performance, SYZ & CO offers to base its commission earnings on achieved management performance (“performance-based commission”). This principle enables the setting of clear management objectives and ensures a perfect convergence of interests between the bank and its client.

Our results

We offer tailored asset management and the levels of management performance therefore vary from client to client, depending on their individual profile, the time at which their funds were invested and the possible constraints.

Nevertheless you can assess our ability to attain high performances by checking on the results obtained by our public products :    
OYSTER Diversified EUR A diversified Luxembourg mutual fund comprising fixed-income investments, equities, structured and alternative products, which reflects our investment policy for a medium-risk portfolio.
ALTINA multi-strategy alternative investment company quoted on the Swiss and London stock exchanges.

Past performance is not a guide to future results.
