PRESS RELEASE
SYZ Asset Management strengthens its presence in Germany with the opening of a
Munich office
Geneva, 8 December 2016 - SYZ Asset Management, the international asset
management arm of the SYZ Group, has opened an office in Munich on 1 December
2016, thus strengthening its presence in Germany and its ability to provide
services into Austria, whilst availing of the EEA passport to do so under the
Markets in Financial Instruments Directive ("MIFID"). This development follows
on from the opening of the Italian office branch in Milan and several hiring and
specific product launches, which confirm SYZ Asset Management's commitment and
growing success in Europe.
A branch of the London headquarters of SYZ Asset Management (Europe) Ltd, the
Munich office can offer a focused range of funds from the OYSTER Luxembourg
SICAV, as well as discretionary mandates for institutional clients seeking
active and flexible management. The sales' activity is led by Michael Kenichi
Schlieper, as Region Head for Germany and Austria, reporting to Florent Guy-
Ducrot, Head of Sales and Business Development.
Germany and Austria represent a very sizeable and important part of the European
asset management market. Thus, the opening of the Munich office, which follows
the opening of its Milan Branch at the beginning of 2016, fits within the
framework of SYZ Asset Management's strategy of expansion in Europe, where a
number of priority markets for growth have been identified.
SYZ has developed a recognised expertise in managing high conviction equity
portfolios, unconstrained fixed income strategies and Multi-Asset portfolios,
with the strengthening of its investment teams over the last three years in
these strategies.
«Germany and Austria are strategic markets for SYZ Asset Management, therefore
opening an office in Munich is an essential step in our development strategy
towards clients seeking positive yield. I'm happy to have entrusted in Michael's
hands the distribution of our investment solutions and the enhancement of the
reputation of our brand at a time of strategic growth of our business»,
commented Katia Coudray, CEO of SYZ Asset Management.
«After spending more than 6 years working out of SYZ Asset Management's Zurich
office, I am delighted to be opening our Munich branch and being closer to our
clients. Our local presence will allow us to offer a focused range of funds and
mandates covering our core expertise of high conviction equities, multi-asset
and unconstrained fixed income», explained Michael Kenichi Schlieper.
