Nicolas Walewski, the manager of Syz & Co’s Oyster European Opportunities fund, has left to help set up Vauban Asset Management in London. Mr Walewski played a major role in attracting nearly SFr2 billion ($1.5 billion) assets to Syz’s Oyster fund, one of the largest funds managed by the Geneva-based asset management firm. Vauban Asset Management was launched earlier this year and currently employs three managers. Vauban will concentrate on European investments. “We have just launched a new Luxembourg SICAV, and have the support of many investors,” Mr Walewski told Le Temps, the Geneva-based newspaper.
