Our history
In 2009 Julius Baer decided that the interests of its shareholders, clients, employees and other stakeholders would be best served by the separation of its private banking and asset management businesses into two independent groups of companies, both listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange.
Julius Baer Group Ltd now focuses on private banking while GAM Holding AG concentrates exclusively on asset management.
* GAM Holding AG retains a 27.9% holding in the total equity of Artio Global Investors Inc.
GAM
GAM is a specialist asset manager, delivering active, discretionary investment management services to a broad range of clients.
GAM specialises in the active management of long equity, alternative and fixed income investments. GAM's funds and strategies cover a broad range of asset classes, currencies and market conditions.
The acquisition of London-based Augustus Asset Managers Ltd in 2009 further strengthened GAM's investment expertise in specialised fixed income and currency-related investments.
GAM accounts for CHF 51 billion, or approximately 41%, of the total assets under management of GAM Holding AG*.
