Gam has promoted Greg Clerkson to lead its discretionary investment business.
Clerkson (pictured), who has been at the Swiss manager three years, will oversee the business management across the firm’s discretionary teams in fixed income, equity and real estate debt, partnering with Gam Systematic and Gam Investment Solutions boss Anthony Lawler.
He will step into the newly created role on 1 March 2020, reporting to CEO Peter Sanderson, and be based in Gam’s London office.
Sanderson said Clerkson’s decades of experience in investment strategy and consulting roles would help Gam strengthen its in-house investment capabilities to deliver good outcomes for clients.
Clerkson joined Gam back in 2017, starting out as global head of consultant relations before becoming global head of product strategy and solutions last year.
Prior to that he headed up global consultant relations for Edmond de Rothschild and Bluecrest Capital Management.
Clerkson also has 10 years’ experience on the buy side at Royal Bank of Canada and Russell Investments. He holds the CFA and CAIA designations.
