GAM taps head of alts research in London

GAM Investments appointed Giovanni D’Alesio as head of research for its alternative investment solutions business earlier this month. From the $136 billion firm’s London office, Giovanni is now responsible for leading GAM’s external fund manager research team and managing portfolios that combine external managers and other investment exposures, including betas, factors and alternative risk premia. Previously, he was a partner and head of investment origination at Capital Generation Partners, a firm he worked at for eight years. He led a team focused on sourcing and monitoring active investment opportunities across equity, fixed-income, hedge funds and real assets for the multi-billion dollar business. He also spent nearly another eight years at Italian funds of hedge funds Unifortune Asset Management ultimately as head of research, where he was responsible for all research and due diligence on hedge funds across a wide spectrum of strategies. “Giovanni brings a wealth of experience in manager research and portfolio management and will be an excellent leader and addition to the team,” said Anthony Lawler, head of GAM Systematic and GAM Investment Solutions. He added that Giovanni’s expertise and knowledge in manager research and portfolio management will further strengthen GAM’s distinctive client offering. The team he is leading employs a disciplined and risk-focused process to identify and combine talented managers across asset classes and investment styles, blending high-conviction qualitative views with proprietary quantitative modelling tools, officials added.
