SYZ AM risk premia solutions are designed to deliver returns while adopting strong risk control.
While investing in equity premia is nothing new, SYZ AM seeks to ‘harvest’ inefficiencies in equity markets by adopting a highly liquid, long/short approach, while aiming to maintain a near-zero equity market beta. The Quantitative Investment Solutions team have drawn on their years of investment and academic experience to create robust equity premia, which are the key building blocks of any risk premia strategy.
Targeting consistent performance over market cycles…
By actively and dynamically allocating among a pre-defined universe of equity premia, SYZ AM’s strategy aims to provide stable, alpha-rich returns over market cycles. With risk management at the core of the investment process, the fund’s systematic approach supports the strategy’s heavy reliance on data analysis, which is expected to generate both performance and control risk.
…and stable returns in uncertain markets
In a world where finding stable, diversified sources of return is challenging, the SYZ AM risk premia strategy can represent a very compelling proposition. The flexibility offered by equity premia can provide investors with diversification, a lower correlation to broader equity markets and the potential to generate attractive alpha, all of which can serve an important role in a portfolio, in particular during periods when equity drawdowns are significant.
