Founded in 1983, GAM has earned a reputation for excellence in managing equity, fixed income, multi-asset, and alternative investments and is well-known for delivering sophisticated and varied strategies across global markets.

Alejandro Moreno, has relocated to South Florida to establish the Miami office, GAM’s second US office, and lead GAM’s US International clients distribution team based there. Miami’s vibrant financial district has become an important hub for Latin American, European and US financial institutions serving international clients.

Charissa, with 20 years of experience in the asset management sector, joins GAM from Alliance Bernstein, bringing a wealth of knowledge and understanding of international clients and their needs and has created strong relationships with key distributors in the region.

Leveraging our well-established, institutional-grade global investment platform, our focus is directed at addressing the investment needs of our clients by providing strategies that aim to diversify portfolios and surpass standard benchmarks. We are now more committed than ever to meeting the future needs of our investors by offering what we deem to be unique and benchmark-beating investment strategies.
