  • Fined £9.1m on 29 March 2022
    The Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) has decided to impose a financial penalty on GAM International Management Limited (“GIML”) of £9,103,523.   The reason for this action is because:   Between 28 November 2014 and 25 October 2017, GIML did not conduct its business with due skill care and diligence, by failing to ensure that its systems and controls for the identification, management and prevention of conflicts of interest operated effectively, thereby breaching Principle 2 of the FCA’s Principles for Businesses.   Between 20 October 2016 and 8 March 2018, GIML did not manage conflicts of interest fairly between itself and its customers and different customers by failing to adequately manage conflicts of interest arising from three specific investments made by one of their investment teams, thereby breaching Principle 8 of the FCA’s Principles for Businesses. The FCA’s action took effect on 29 March 2022 and a copy of the Final Notice, which sets out the reason for the action, is displayed on the FCA's website and can be accessed.
