The BYZ team is a hive mind.

In a world of increasing correlation, true performance comes from thinking differently.

Our Foundation

A tradition of excellence. A future of innovation.

BYZ Partners was founded by two complementary individuals, Marc Syz and Richard Byworth, combining deep heritage in finance with a forward-looking approach to capital allocation.

Marc Syz

Marc Syz represents a multi-generational Swiss entrepreneurial and banking legacy, with a strong track record in alternative investments, private markets, and building institutional-quality platforms. His experience spans private equity, hedge funds, and real assets, with a consistent focus on uncovering differentiated, uncorrelated opportunities.

Richard Byworth

Richard Byworth is a recognised innovator in digital assets and alternative investment strategies. As one of the early architects of institutional crypto hedge fund platforms and Bitcoin-denominated investment solutions, he has been at the forefront of integrating new avenues for alpha into institutional portfolios.

Together, Byworth & Syz founded BYZ Partners to create a new type of investment firm, one that combines:

Institutional discipline
Entrepreneurial agility
Innovation at the core of capital allocation

What drives us

The standards we hold.

Excellence

We pursue excellence in everything we do. From investment decisions to client service, holding ourselves to the highest institutional standards.

Every member of BYZ is accountable to this standard, striving for exceptional performance with the agility of an entrepreneurial firm.

Integrity

Judge a man not by his words, but by his actions.

Because trust is earned through consistency, not promises. At BYZ, integrity is a daily discipline, guiding every decision, every relationship, and every commitment we make.

We invest our own capital alongside our clients, making decisions with a long-term perspective

Fairness

We treat our investors as partners, our team as family, and our collaborators as extensions of our firm. Built on respect, ethics, and transparency, we believe fairness is essential to achieving enduring, shared success.

At BYZ Partners

We view our clients and business relationships as true partners. Our model is built on alignment of interests, long-term relationships, and shared success, working together to build capital that endures across generations
