EFG Asset Management (EFGAM) has launched the New Capital Global Equity Conviction Fund, an open-ended equity fund that will typically invest in 40 to 60 global stocks across all market capitalisations.

EFG Asset Management is the asset management arm of EFG International, a global private banking group headquartered in Zurich and with strong Singapore and Hong Kong offices serving the Asian region.

Robin Milway, a highly experienced London-based equity fund manager who joined EFGAM in 2012, will manage the Fund. Robin will combine his expertise in bottom-up stock selection with EFGAM’s top-down geographic and sector analysis, without the constraints of a benchmark or specific investment style.

Prior to joining EFGAM, Robin spent nine years at Cooper Investors in Melbourne Australia where he managed the CI Global Equities Fund. During his tenure at the firm, the fund returned 8.5% annualised over seven years, outperforming the MSCI by 5.6% annualised.

EFGAM has over 125 investment professionals based in London, Geneva, Zurich, Hong Kong, Singapore and Miami.
