The banking group, SYZ & CO, has launched a new fund: OYSTER Multi-Manager Tail & Trading, a sub-fund of its Luxembourg Part II SICAV 3A Alternative Funds. The fund is aimed at an institutional client base.
Devised by SYZ Asset Management, this new fund aims to provide investors with protection in the current environment. It combines CTA funds with an active management strategy to hedge against extreme risks (“tail risk”). The majority of its assets are allocated to CTA funds (combining short-term, medium-term and macro systematic approaches) and supplemented with an active risk management strategy.
By having low correlation with the financial markets and other alternative strategies, it aims to improve maximum drawdown and volatility characteristics, thereby improving the risk profile of traditional portfolios.
The fund is designed to provide improved transparency and weekly liquidity and is available in USD, CHF, EUR, GBP and JPY. It invests exclusively in the products based on the managed accounts platform developed through the cooperation between SYZ Asset Management and UBS Investment Bank.
