Operations

Best for our clients 

The business strategy is to focus on value add and therefore the firm operates an outsource platform where possible.

The firms resources are focused on the funds business as well as provide support to GAM’s sales and marketing activities. For example, the IT infrastructure and investment management/accounting platform is entirely outsourced to local providers who themselves apply industry best practices and are certified by the relevant regulatory body – FINMA. For the funds business the organization has automated links into the GAM Dublin fund platform and its dedicated global custodian bank network. This ensures focus is towards managing the business and where necessary exception based processes.
