GAM’s fund offering and consistent outperformance of benchmarks reflect its commitment to providing excellent investment solutions.”
Our investment performance is strong, with 79% and 88% of GAM’s invested assets under management beating their benchmark over three-year and five-year periods, respectively*. GAM focuses on meeting the future needs of our investors across Equities, Fixed Income, Multi-Asset and Alternatives – by offering distinctive and benchmark-beating investment strategies.
