When they set up Banque SYZ & CO SA in January 1996, Eric Syz, Alfredo Piacentini and Paolo Luban pooled their in-depth knowledge of traditional private banking to create a different kind of bank which responds to the real needs of investors.
Their combined professional careers, which encompass activities as diverse as selecting external managers, managing pension funds and investment funds, and heading up a financial analysis and investment strategy service, enabled them to develop a new style of bank: rich in tradition yet firmly geared to modern asset management, it draws on some of the most sophisticated techniques from the field of institutional investment.  | Eric Syz
Eric Syz began his financial career at Wall Street in 1981 before joining Geneva-based Lombard Odier & Cie in 1984, where he specialized in institutional asset management, mergers and acquisitions, engineering and promoting Group products, and analysing hedge funds, an area which he has followed closely since the 1980s.
A founding partner of Banque SYZ & CO SA and member of the Executive Committee, Eric Syz is Managing Director of the bank. Within the Group, he is primarily responsible for 3A SA, the alternative investment division, and for the bank’s offices in Zurich and Salzburg. |
Alfredo Piacentini
Alfredo Piacentini started out in 1981 in a company specializing in market surveys before joining Lombard Odier & Cie in Geneva in 1985, first as a financial analyst, and then as a specialist in the management of funds, mergers and acquisitions, and finally as an institutional asset management specialist in London.
A founding partner of Banque SYZ & CO SA and member of the Executive Committee, he is in charge of private and centralized asset management, as well as the Oyster investment funds division where he manages the Oyster Italian Opportunities fund. He is also responsible for the Group's bank in Nassau and vice-chairman of Banca Albertini Syz & C., the Group’s bank in Italy. |  |
 | Paolo Luban
Paolo Luban was assistant lecturer at the University of Geneva’s faculty of economic science and was scientific advisor for the Federal Office of Foreign Trade in Berne before joining Bordier & Cie in 1984, where he was responsible for the financial analysis and investment strategy department.
A founding partner of Banque SYZ & CO SA and a member of the Executive Committee, Paolo Luban heads up the financial analysis and macroeconomic department, which uses the quantitative forecasting models he developed ("fog-lights").
