GAM manages more than $33.6 billion of clients' assets from 10 offices around the world.
Established in 1983 by its visionary founder, Gilbert de Botton, GAM has been owned by
UBS AG since 1999 though it continues to have a distinctive style and culture. GAM’s
investment philosophy is focused on managing Hedge funds which it claims provide better
long term returns than straight equity funds over the long run.
GAM specializes in multi-manager funds, where GAM locates long term winners in the
market place managed by professionals and with special expertise in a particular
investment technique or a geographical area. GAM’s own fund managers enjoy greater
freedom than currently offered by their competitors – managers can decide what will be
the equity mix, exposure to currencies, cash management in their fund without the direct
influence of an investment comity. This policy encourages free thinking and more
innovative management and has proved very successful.
