Spear’s Review

‘Syz Capital is run by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs,’ co-founder and managing partner Marc Syz says. 

‘First and foremost, we are principal investors,’ he explains. ‘We only offer qualified clients access to private equity, private debt and real estate opportunities where we would be comfortable to be the lead investor. We’re searching for niche opportunities – overlooked areas and rough diamonds that we believe can be nurtured to provide the very best risk-adjusted returns.’

Syz started out at Credit Suisse and UBP before spending several years in equity markets, where he realised the importance of dynamic boards and long-term planning over short-term quarterly results. In 2018, he founded Syz Capital, which backs small to mid-market family-owned and visionary businesses.
