GAM Systematic’s co-head, Anthony Lawler, said: “We see continued strong interest in our product offering managed by GAM’s alternative risk premia team by Lars Jaeger.
“Our highly disciplined research approach, honed over many years, focuses on designing well-structured risk premia with a focus on low cost implementation.
