GIAM is an active manager which follows a risk-cautious, fundamentals-based approach in order to generate consistent, long-term, low volatility returns and protect invested capital. The firm combines top-down and bottom-up analysis provided by in-house research teams. They first analyze macroeconomic indicators and the general political environment to evaluate their potential impact on the main financial markets. Dedicated committees decide on the strategic asset allocation and provide short-term forecasts on equity and fixed-income markets driving tactical allocation to be implemented by the portfolio managers who select securities based on inputs from proprietary bottom-up securities analysis, ESG screening and quantitative models.

GAS leverages both internal and external expertise, the latter through boutiques that the firm has acquired, invested in or created, and in which the company holds a majority share.
