Despite challenging conditions and persistent macroeconomic headwinds, the Group also increased its net profit from CHF 7.6 m (2024) to CHF 7.7 m. All three divisions, Syz Bank, Syz Asset Management and Syz Capital, recorded higher AuMs, reflecting strong client engagement and client centric product and service offering. The Group’s CET1 ratio remained substantially above the regulatory requirement at a robust 24.6%, underscoring Syz Group’s financial resilience and long-term stability.
These strong results reflect the Group’s efforts of continuous strategic evolution towards a more dynamic, diversified, and innovation-led offering across all lines of business.
Commenting on the announcement, Christoph Raninger, CFO of Syz Group said:
“2025 was a strong year for the Group in a challenging environment. We continued to evolve our core offering across Group entities, thereby strengthening our platform based on a clear value proposition and by driving innovation. Our demonstrated growth momentum is a sign of client trust and our performance reflects the collective commitment of our teams in a demanding market environment.”
“In a complex and uncertain world, clients continue to choose Syz. That confidence is built on the strength of our teams, our diversified offering and the quality of our long-term mindset connected to a human-centric relationship management.”
Performance drivers
Syz Bank saw AuM rise to CHF 15.2 bn, representing a 6.7% increase, supported by positive net new money. Despite a challenging market environment of lower interest rates and a weaker US dollar, the Bank delivered solid results. Supported by higher fee income, which mitigated the impact of decreasing rates on net interest income, the Bank reported a solid net profit of CHF 7.6 m, alongside a robust CET1 ratio of 27.6%.
2025 also marked a year of investment for the Bank, as it strategically strengthened the organisation to enhance agility and long-term profitability through a leaner, more client-focused structure. The CIO function was reinforced with key senior appointments, including a new chief economist and head of discretionary portfolio management, positioning the Bank for enhanced performance. The private banking team was also bolstered by targeted hires in the MENA region, including additional bankers on the external asset managers team in early 2026, and a head of digital assets.
Syz Asset Management continued to deliver strong and consistent investment performance, accompanied by meaningful client inflows. The fixed income boutique remains a cornerstone for Swiss institutional investors, driven by stable teams and a long-term investment philosophy. In an increasingly competitive landscape, the platform continues to stand out through its performance, consistency and conviction.
Syz Capital also reported a solid year, broadening its platform in response to sustained demand for uncorrelated returns. In private equity, Syz Capital continued to provide clients with access to high-quality opportunities, while its litigation finance strategy completed the closing of its second vintage, offering investors a diversified source of return in the current market environment. The year also saw renewed interest in hedge fund strategies and the successful launch of a bitcoin-denominated fund of crypto hedge funds, the BTC Alpha Fund.
Commenting on the future direction, Group CEO Eric Syz added:
“As we look ahead to 2026, we do so with renewed momentum. The year will be especially meaningful as Syz Group celebrates its 30th anniversary. This milestone invites both reflection and forward looking ambition, reminding us of the entrepreneurial spirit, independence and client centric values that have defined us from the beginning.
“The nomination of my son, Nicolas Syz, as the CEO of Syz Bank, has also ushered in a new phase of leadership that builds on our strengths while embracing the opportunities ahead. With a clear strategic direction and a deep commitment to serving our clients with excellence, we are well placed to continue evolving and performing in a world that demands resilience, clarity and long term vision.”
