The future of AT1s: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”
05 January 2026 | Romain Miginiac

The European Central Bank’s latest recommendations have rekindled debate over Additional Tier 1 (AT1) bonds. While authorities may question AT1s’ effectiveness in absorbing losses in times of market stress, legislative practicalities and the need to maintain AT1s’ market viability could limit the scope for change. With significant reforms unlikely, investors may instead focus on managing volatility, risk and opportunity in an environment of historically tight spreads in AT1 Contingent Convertible Bonds.

Distinctive by design

Our business continues to attract original and independent thinkers, bringing their distinctive, and often unique, styles. Here at GAM, our investment professionals are encouraged to develop their ideas, leveraging our global operations and risk framework to bring rigour to each approach.  Our strategies showcase the personality, passion and expertise of our investment managers and partners. We do not try to compete in all markets but rather we focus on the hard-to-access, niche areas where specialist expertise and strong conviction can have a real impact. This has helped us curate a collection of highly-differentiated, active investment strategies for clients to use alongside their core portfolios.
