Vontobel's US Asset Management Boutique (VAMUS) ready for the next level of growth

 

Driven by the excellent track record of VAMUS quality growth products, particular in emerging markets and global equities, VAMUS Asset under Management passed USD 36 bn by the end of 2012.

 

To align business growth and business stability, VAMUS will further invest in its franchise. Rajiv Jain, Head of Investments of VAMUS and Morningstar’s 2012 International-Stock Fund Manager of the Year for the U.S. says: "I am committed to grow our investment platform. We will nominate Co-Portfolio managers for our European and Far-Eastern products. The ability to promote from within assures the stability and consistency  of our investment process. In addition, we will expand our global equity and add sub-strategies to fulfil the demands from our global clients, particular Australia and the Middle East."

 

Axel Schwarzer, Head of Vontobel Asset Management adds: "I am convinced, with Rajiv leading the investment team and our additional investment strategies, we meet client and consultant demands and prepare the ground for our next level of growth."

 

"As interest from US and global investors in US Equities is picking up, VAMUS will market more actively its US Equity product which has an excellent track record as well", comments Henry Schlegel, CEO of VAMUS.
