European equity fund manager trio Niall Gallagher, Chris Sellers and Chris Legg (pictured left-to-right) have completed their move to Jupiter Asset Management from GAM Investments.
The team, who announced their departure from GAM in November 2024, led the firm’s European equities franchise for 15 years.
Gallagher has been at GAM since 2009, while Sellers joined in 2014 and Legg became part of the team in 2017. The team’s funds included the GAM Star Continental European Equity fund and GAM Star European Equity fund.
The hire comes as part of Jupiter’s efforts to scale up its active management capabilities in ‘strategic areas’ of investor demand.
Kiran Nandra, head of equities at Jupiter, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Niall, Chris and Chris to Jupiter. Their highly disciplined, research-led and nimble approach, consistent outperformance, and strong alignment with client objectives make them exactly the kind of active investors we want at the core of our platform.
“Their arrival significantly enhances our European equities capability and lays the foundation for a refreshed, best-in-class offering – at a time when the outlook for European equities is particularly compelling.”
The move follows Adrian Gosden and Chris Morrison’s move from GAM to Jupiter along with the UK equity fund in early 2024.
