GAM has appointed Matthew Beesley as head of equities.
Beesley, former head of global equities at Henderson, will work with all of the GAM equity teams to optimise performance and risk management, ensure strong links with sales, marketing and operations and also drive information collaboration across teams.
Beesley has more than 19 years of investment experience. He starts on 6 March 2017 and will be based in London.
GAM fund managers benefit from the freedom to follow their own investment philosophy and processes, with active conviction investment styles that are not wedded to benchmarks.
Group CEO Alexander S Friedman (pictured) says: “We are excited to welcome Matthew Beesley, a world class head of equities, to the group. His experience and success in developing and managing investment strategies will add great value to our differentiated equity investment offerings.”
