GAM appoints new Group Head of Distribution
* Tim Rainsford, previously Global Co-Head of Sales and Marketing at Man
Group, will join GAM on 1 January 2017
* Rainsford will have Group-wide responsibility for distribution, marketing
and product development
Today GAM announced the appointment of Tim Rainsford as its new Group Head of

roles globally, as well as in Asia and Europe. His latest role at Man was Global
Co-Head of Sales and Marketing.
Alexander Friedman, Group CEO at GAM, said: "Tim Rainsford is a world-class
investment management executive, with deep experience in the leadership of
global distribution teams, and with a proven business development track record
across different geographies and client segments. Tim's expertise in selling and
marketing sophisticated investment solutions, including quantitative strategies,
will be invaluable to our ambitious growth efforts, especially following our
recent acquisition of Cantab Capital Partners and the launch of our GAM
Systematic platform. Tim is taking over a great team that will benefit from his
experience and market access, and we look forward to having him on board."
Tim Rainsford, incoming Group Head of Distribution at GAM, said: "I am thrilled
to be joining GAM. Alex and his team are in the midst of an incredibly exciting
re-positioning of the company, and the opportunity to join them in this role is
a very compelling one."
Craig Wallis, GAM's current Group Head of Distribution and Operations and member
of GAM's Group Management Board (GMB), will step down from his day-to-day
responsibilities and the GMB on 31 December 2016, following a transition period
and the implementation of the new target operating model initiated in August
2015. He will leave the company in early 2017.
Alexander Friedman: "I would like to thank Craig Wallis for having built our
excellent distribution capability over the past 11 years, and for his engaged
leadership in the transformation of our operating model, a project he will
continue to oversee until its completion. We wish him the very best for his
future endeavours."
