“GAM Star European Equity invests in a broadly diversified equity universe and seeks opportunities for returns wherever they exist. A highly qualified and experienced management team actively manages the fund on the basis of a fundamental valuation approach,” said Twinkle Sparta, associate editor, Asian Private Banker.

“The scope of the strategy is to invest in European equities with a goal of achieving +300 bps of outperformance per annum, gross of fees, from managing a concentrated portfolio of high conviction ideas that are highly researched and constructed into a portfolio in an intelligent fashion.”

“The investment philosophy of the strategy has remained unchanged over eighteen plus years and has been successfully applied at GAM for the last 13 years. A good example of this is the positions in European semiconductor equipment manufacturers. The team believed that low levels of automotive end production, significant semiconductor content growth in automotive and industrial applications as well as low starting valuations made for attractive sector fundamentals.”
