GAM expands emerging markets equities team

Tuesday, January 08, 2019
Opalesque Industry Update - GAM Investments today announced the appointment of Rob Mumford as investment manager on its global emerging markets equities team. Rob is based in Hong Kong and will work with Tim Love and Joaquim Nogueira. The team manages in excess of USD 970 million, as at 30 November 2018.

Rob joins from MNP Advisers, a consultancy servicing asset managers and family offices, where he was managing partner. Rob brings with him a wealth of Asian emerging markets investment experience having spent ten years as an emerging markets equity portfolio manager at Credit Suisse, CQS and Silver Tree. He was formerly head of absolute return research Asia and head of Hong Kong and China research at Macquarie Bank and Société Générale HK, respectively.

Rob holds an MBA from the University of Manchester and is a CFA® charterholder.

Tim Love, investment director, said: "Rob brings more than 25 years of industry experience and extensive knowledge of Asian equities.

Rob's appointment represents our commitment to delivering the very best outcomes for our clients."
