SYW to adapt flagship to institutional market
SYW Capital Management, a New York-based long/short hedge fund manager with a macro overlay, is constructing a new launch for an institutionally oriented fund, according to an investor letter.
The offering, called the SYW Global Long/Short Equity fund, will adapt the strategy of the flagship fund, SYW LP, into an institutional framework, attempting to lower the overall volatility by utilising lower exposure limits and tighter portfolio and security level constraints. It will invest in a variety of sectors and industries and has a capacity of $500m.
SYW was started by Chris Wang, formerly a trader at Catus Capital. Last year the SYW LP fund returned 14.89%.
HFMWeek previously reported that in October, SYW invested in Article One Partners through a special purpose investment vehicle (SPV). The SPV, SYW Private Investment, invested $3m in the special
situations hedge fund, the maximum amount it was able to allocate.
