GAM expands distribution team

GAM Investments has announced appointment of Ryan Crewe as Manager – Key Accounts, responsible for developing GAM’s distribution efforts in the wealth advisory market in Australia.

Crewe will be reporting to Alex Zaika, Managing Director, Australia, and his appointment coincides with the expansion of GAM’s local product offering to include GAM Systematic Core Macro and Commodity Trade Finance. These differentiated strategies will complement GAM’s established local offerings, GAM Systematic Alternative Risk Premia and Insurance Linked Securities, which continue to see positive momentum.

Crewe’s appointment will further expand GAM’s local presence and deepen GAM’s relationships with Australian private wealth advisers.

He joins Pengana Capital, where he was lead business development manager for New South Wales (NSW) and New Zealand. Prior to that, Crewe worked at BlackRock, where he was responsible for distribution across NSW and the Australian Capital Territory.

Alex Zaika, Managing Director, Australia, said “Ryan’s appointment will further support GAM’s growth in the Australian wealth advisory market. He has an excellent reputation and has worked with sophisticated advisers who are demanding differentiated, institutional grade solutions.”
