GAM Group CEO Peter Sanderson said: “This has been an encouraging first quarter for GAM with net positive inflows for the firm overall.

“I am pleased that, despite pressure on the level of assets under management in the current market environment, our Investment Management business continues to improve with net inflows across a range of strategies and reduced outflows from our larger fixed income strategies.”

The money manager added that the market environment will remain challenging in 2022 due to geopolitical tensions and increase in interest rates among others.
