GAM hires former Marshall Wace partner
GAM, the asset manager owned by Julius Baer, has taken on a senior manager who previously worked for hedge fund Marshall Wace Asset Management.
Mark Hawtin joins the London office on October 1, to manage a global long/short equity mandate which will invest in a wide range of themes with an emphasis on innovation and change. He will report to group chief executive David Solo.
He was previously at Marshall Wace Asset Management where he was a partner and portfolio manager. He left the firm in 2007 since when he has been advising several listed companies.
Hawtin said: “GAM’s greatest attraction is its philosophy to allow in-house managers freedom to invest according to their own strategy and without the constraints of an Investment Committee or Chief Investment Officer. The supporting infrastructure and resources also mean that GAM’s Fund Managers can focus entirely on managing their portfolios.”
