GAM Investments has repositioned the GAM Global Diversified fund as the GAM Disruptive Growth, managed by Mark Hawtin, effective from 31 January.

The fund’s strategy and holdings will reflect the GAM Disruptive Growth fund.

The Disruptive Growth strategy, launched in 2011, seeks to identify those companies both within and beyond the technology sector, that are innovating  and changing the way we live and work.

GAM focuses on active stock selection to identify growth opportunities and disruptive themes in areas such as software, cloud infrastructure, social media, advertising, retail, and transportation.

In doing so, GAM seeks to position the portfolio to benefit from the generational changes that are occurring globally. As part of these changes, the GAM Disruptive Growth fund will also move to midday pricing, effective 23 February.

Rob Bailey, head of UK distribution at GAM, said: “We have seen strong demand for our Disruptive Growth strategy in the UK, which has delivered strong returns for clients, and I am excited to offer it as an OEIC.

“This is the first of a series of enhancements we plan to make to our UK fund range. We are committed to growing our presence in the UK market and the evolution of our UK offering to meet our clients’ needs is an important step towards doing so.”
