On June 18, 2025, Syquant Capital, a leading player in alternative asset management in Europe, announced the appointment of Xavier Morin and Laurent Boscherel as Managing Directors. This decision reflects a clear commitment to continuity within the firm founded by Henri Jeantet, Executive Chairman.
Both have been with the firm for several years—serving as Co-CIO and CRO/CFO, respectively—and embody the company’s culture. Their appointment is part of a strategy to maintain an experienced management team that works closely with the teams and investment strategies. It reinforces a model based on stability, operational rigor, and the trust of institutional investors.
This smooth transition also accompanies the gradual withdrawal of Olivier Leymarie, who is stepping down from his executive roles while remaining a member of the Supervisory Board of Syquant Capital and the Board of Directors of the Helium funds. A sign of a seamless transition, without a change in direction.
In a market environment marked by volatility, Syquant reaffirms its unique positioning in the alternative investment universe, with rigorously managed arbitrage and event-driven strategies. The selection of two candidates from the core of the investment management team reflects a clear intent: to strengthen the connection between governance and the front lines, while ensuring the continuity of the firm’s performance and commitments.
Finally, this leadership transition is part of a broader effort to consolidate internal expertise, with a clear ambition: to continue Syquant’s European growth while remaining true to its DNA of independence, disciplined management, and transparency.
