GAM Investments is pleased to announce the appointment of Alessandro Arrighi as Client Director, effective February 2026, reinforcing its commitment to the Italian market.
Arrighi is not new to GAM but is returning in a new and broader role. Alessandro has 30 years of experience in the sector. He was previously Senior Managing Director of Institutional Sales Italy at Edmond de Rothschild AM, after gaining significant experience at GAM as Head of Retail Distributors, where he was responsible for relations with the major intermediaries in the Italian market. Arrighi's past experiences include Country Head Italy at La Financière de L'Échiquier (now part of the LBPAM group), Ethenea (since 2012), where he was responsible for the launch of Ethenea Independent Investors in the Italian distribution market, and Carmignac (from 2007 to 2012).
“This appointment underscores the strategic importance of the Italian market for GAM and highlights the group's commitment to investing in the market and focusing on growth. We therefore extend a warm welcome to Alessandro Arrighi, whose high level of professionalism will undoubtedly contribute to the achievement of our objectives. Tim Rainsford, Group Chief Distribution & Product Officer of GAM, said, adding: “GAM aims to differentiate itself through its focus on innovative strategies and its commitment to delivering measurable outcomes for clients. We believe that Arrighi’s deep market knowledge and client expertise will be instrumental in strengthening our presence in Italy”.
Alessandro Arrighi, Client Director for the Italian market of GAM, commented: ”I am delighted to be returning to GAM and firmly believe that, in an increasingly globalized and highly competitive industry, it is more important than ever to demonstrate the quality of management and a strong corporate DNA—one that conveys professional expertise and is clearly associated with a distinctive investment style. I am convinced that GAM reflects these qualities, backed by strong investment expertise and a proven ability to deliver differentiated strategies for our clients.”
