GAM Holding AG is a Switzerland-based holding company specializing in active asset management, headquartered in Zurich. Founded in 1983 as Global Asset Management by Gilbert de Botton, it pioneered the open architecture model, empowering independent investment professionals to deliver tailored strategies without a uniform house style. The firm manages CHF 12.7 billion in assets across fixed income, equity, multi-asset solutions, systematic approaches, and ESG-integrated products, serving institutional clients, financial intermediaries, private investors, and wholesale channels. GAM operates in 15 countries with offices in key hubs like London, New York, Hong Kong, and Singapore, supported by 281 employees whose average industry experience exceeds 14 years. Complemented by brands like Julius Baer in the past and prior private labelling services now transferred to Carne Group, it emphasizes investment leadership, rigorous risk management, transparency, innovation, and responsible stewardship. Listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange since 2009 as part of the Swiss Performance Index, GAM focuses on niche, hard-to-access markets to generate differentiated returns, fostering diversity, inclusion, and positive societal impact through UN PRI signatory commitments. With a history of strategic acquisitions enhancing its capabilities, GAM upholds high professional standards in the global asset management industry.
