Ten of OYSTER’s flagship sub-funds have been registered in the UK and are now approved for public distribution. OYSTER is the investment fund family of the Swiss banking group SYZ & CO. This move underlines the expansion of the group’s activities in the UK.
The Group’s London office has developed strong investment competencies, notably in European equities. London-based Eric Bendahan and William Sharp are the investment advisors for the OYSTER European Opportunities flagship fund and the OYSTER European Small Cap fund respectively.
The sub-funds registered in the UK illustrate the diversity of OYSTER in terms of the strategies offered. These funds are either top-performing long-only funds with a very strong track-record, such as OYSTER European Opportunities, OYSTER European Small Cap, OYSTER LatAm Opportunities, OYSTER Japan Opportunities, OYSTER US Value and OYSTER European Corporate Bonds; or so-called “Newcits” funds, such as OYSTER Credit Opportunities, 3A Dynamic UCITS Fund (GBP), OYSTER ForExtra Yield (EUR) and OCEANO Absolute Return Institutional A GBP, that belong to the “new generation” of funds and take full advantage of the flexibility provided by UCITS III regulations to provide strategies with asymmetrical risk/return profiles.

Xavier Guillon, CEO of OYSTER Funds, said: “We see strong demand in the UK for top-performing and innovative products such as the funds we’ve registered in the UK. After establishing a strong track-record with institutional mandates, we are now broadening our offering with funds that are available to a wider audience.”
