Following the announcement of his departure from GAM, Hans Ulrich Jost (pictured) has resurfaced at derivatives boutique Divas Asset Management, Citywire Switzerland has learned.[/size]
Jost is Citywire AA-rated and previously managed both the GAM Multistock Euroland Value Equity fund and the GAM Euroland Value Focus fund.
He joined Divas AM on 1 March, and is in the process of transferring the GAM Euroland Value Focus fund from GAM to the boutique. It will be renamed the DIVAS Eurozone Value Focus fund and Jost will continue to manage it.
‘I wanted to see where I could best develop opportunities and use my know-how,’ he told Citywire Switzerland. ‘In a big company, you go in, sit there and lean back. Divas offers a very dynamic and entrepreneurial environment, where you can create whatever you think makes the most sense. I’ve seen a lot and done a lot over the past 30 years, and for my last 10 years I’d like to enjoy myself and focus on performance and client service.’
