Chief Investment Officer Appointment

Gibraltar Asset Management is pleased to announce the appointment of Millar Law as its new Chief Investment Officer. Millar brings an impressive set of skills and experience in institutional investment to the firm following an impressive 40+ year career in the financial markets, summarised below.

Following graduation in 1973 with an honours degree in Modern History and Economics from Brasenose College, Oxford University, Millar joined the Graduate Trainee Programme of Ivory & Sime Plc in Edinburgh. Millar was trained in all parts of the business, spending six months in their New York office. By the end of his ten-year tenure, he was the number 2 in their high-ranking UK pension fund team, responsible for UK investments. Millar then joined Lombard Odier as Director and Head of European Investments. During his five years stint in London, Millar created and launched two investment trusts on the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”) and developed their high-regarded investment team. In the late 1980s, Millar founded and managed Law, Dempsey & Company in London, an investment management company backed by AIG. Millar subsequently joined Voyageur Investment Managers as Investment Director where he created and launched the Voyageur European Smaller Companies Trust on the LSE. From there Millar became Head of International Equities at Colonial First State Investment Managers in Sydney, Australia where he recruited and led the firm’s investment team, which saw upper quartile performance in international equities. Millar then returned to Edinburgh joining ISIS Asset Management as their Director of European Equities and lead fund manager of European Asset Trust, a major investment trust listed on the LSE. This well-known trust was ranked number one in its category for three years in a row whilst Millar was at the helm.

His understanding of the markets and portfolios construction will allow us to seek every opportunity to boost returns and adapt to ever-changing market conditions. Millar will lead GAM’s Investment Committee, responsible for monitoring the various assets in our model portfolios as well as developing proposals for asset allocation, investment strategy and investment selection.

If you would like to meet Millar in person to discuss financial matters, please do not hesitate to contact him at millar.law@gam.gi.

GAM’s 25th Anniversary

This year is a historic one for Gibraltar Asset Management Limited. After celebrating the 10th Anniversary of our membership of the London Stock Exchange in April, we now are celebrating the Firm’s 25th Anniversary.

Twenty five years may not sound a lot to many but in this business, as you can imagine, even the last five years have seemed like a lifetime to the average stockbroker.

And things were no rosier in 1987 when the Firm was incorporated on the 19th of October. The following day, global stock markets promptly crashed. Our predecessors then spent the next several years trying to stop the exodus of clients. Happily, GAM survived and despite bubbles, recessions and crises, we have gone on to thrive.

In 1987, our office was unrecognisable from the one you see today. We were connected to the stock exchange through a Ceefax screen, a telephone and a fax machine! – a far cry from today’s electronic trading platforms. The way we interact with our clients has also changed. Contract notes, once hand-written onto a piece of paper, have long since been replaced by email confirmations, online dealing and online access that provides our clients with up-to-the-minute valuations of their portfolios. Only this year, we have revolutionised the way we communicate with our clients with the launch of a new website, a Facebook page and a Twitter service, that allow our clients to follow the markets and our investment recommendations in real time.

However, what has not changed over the last 25 years, and indeed, what sets us apart from our competitors, is our independence, our integrity and the trust that is established between our stockbrokers and investment managers and our clients. Indeed, the business has been built on the sound foundations of strong investment performance and excellent client service. This has seen the firm continue to go from strength to strength and has seen our client base double since 2007, a period which has been characterised by the most serious crisis since World War II.

To celebrate this milestone, we are pleased to be sponsoring the Gibraltar Philharmonic Society in a unique baroque concert where The European Baroque Players will be playing the works of such great composers as Handel, Bach, Vivaldi and Telemann. The event will take place on Monday 19th November at 8pm at the Convent Ballroom.
