Gam launches multi-index fund with Barclays Capital
Share
Asset manager Gam has launched a fund offering exposure to Barclays Capital’s quantitative indices.
The two organisations have joined forces to create the GAM Star Barclays Dynamic Multi-Index Allocation fund, which is a Ucits IV vehicle. It has been approved by the Irish regulator and can be passported into other European jurisdictions, subject to regulatory approval.
The fund’s ordinary share class has a minimum investment of $10,000 (£6,341) or currency equivalent and carries an annual management charge of 1.2%.
Barclays Capital has more than 4,000 investable indices. The fund will be actively managed across them, offering investors access to multi-strategy, multi-asset investments.
Gam and Barclays Capital say investing in quantitative indices has become a more mainstream strategy over recent years, as it allows investors to complement their alternative investment portfolios with index allocations.
Antti Suhonen, managing director of equity and funds structured markets at Barclays Capital, says: “Clients will now have the opportunity to invest in the widely recognised liquid and transparent Barclays Capital quantitative indices while benefiting from the investment management expertise of the Gam multi-manager team.”
