Equity-like returns.
Less equity market risk.
Global equities balanced by an allocation to gold —
built to preserve and grow capital in real terms across market cycles.
ABOUT US
Oyat Advisors is a FINMA-licensed portfolio manager based in Zürich, Switzerland, that has been managing client capital since 2015. The Company acts as the portfolio manager of the Oyat Investment Fund.
Our objective is to achieve equity-like returns with meaningfully less exposure to equity market risk, in order to preserve and grow capital in real terms across market cycles.
We strive to be prudent stewards of capital by following a structured investment process that emphasizes risk control and the intelligent bearing of risk in pursuit of investment returns.
The Oyat founding family is one of the largest investors in the Oyat Investment Fund, and Oyat's employees are also personally invested in the Fund alongside clients.
OUR STRATEGY
A core of high-quality global equities, complemented by an allocation to gold.
We invest predominantly in a concentrated collection of productive assets, taking the form of high-quality companies. Our investment strategy also has exposure to precious metals, predominantly via physical gold.
Physical gold serves as a permanent stabilizer and counterbalance to our portfolio — a hard currency held in reserve that can be exchanged for other assets as opportunities arise, as well as a hedge against the monetary, financial, and geopolitical risks that periodically undermine conventional portfolios.
Historically, this combination of global equities and gold has resulted in a portfolio meaningfully less sensitive to market fluctuations than a traditional portfolio. The evidence is documented on our Fund & Resources page.
