The session featured Olivier Maurice, Managing Partner at Syz Capital, alongside Franz Gaul, and was moderated by Rodney Sullivan from CAIA Association. The event was organised by Dennis Vallone, Associate Business Development at Syz Capital.

During the webinar, speakers explored the fundamentals of Legal Assets, with a particular focus on litigation finance and legal credit (law-firm lending). The discussion highlighted how these strategies are driven by legal outcomes, contractual cash flows, and case-specific dynamics rather than traditional market cycles, resulting in low correlation to public equities and fixed income.

Key topics covered included the structural drivers supporting the growth of Legal Assets, the main return drivers and risk mitigants associated with each strategy, and how institutional investors are increasingly integrating these solutions into diversified alternative investment allocations. Portfolio construction considerations, duration profiles, and the importance of disciplined underwriting and risk management were also discussed.

The webinar concluded with an interactive Q&A session, reflecting strong engagement from the CAIA community and the broader investment audience.

Syz Capital would like to thank CAIA Association and Rodney Sullivan for their collaboration and for facilitating a high-quality discussion. Events such as this reflect Syz Capital’s ongoing commitment to investor education and to sharing insights on differentiated, uncorrelated alternative investment strategies.
