Thematic Thoughts: The Upshot of 4.3 billion People
08 September 2023

At GAM Investments, our purpose is to protect and enhance our clients’ financial future. As part of this, we are constantly challenging ourselves to think beyond the obvious. In the Thematic Thoughts series, we highlight emerging sustainability ideas and themes that could present investment opportunities.

Our Thinking

Distinctive by design

Our business continues to attract original and independent thinkers, bringing their distinctive, and often unique, styles. Here at GAM, our investment professionals are encouraged to develop their ideas, leveraging our global operations and risk framework to bring rigour to each approach.  Our strategies showcase the personality, passion and expertise of our investment managers and partners. We do not try to compete in all markets but rather we focus on the hard-to-access, niche areas where specialist expertise and strong conviction can have a real impact. This has helped us curate a collection of highly-differentiated, active investment strategies for clients to use alongside their core portfolios.
