BAM is an independent alternative asset manager and advisor based in London and regulated by the Financal Conduct Authority (FRN 747038).
The firm offers investments and advice to professional clients and eligible counterparties including banks and pension funds.
We specialise in sustainable or ESG (Economic, Social and corporate Governance) investments which are based on a quantitative approach and use highly sophisticated market technology. We employ Artificial Intelligence ('AI') techniques and 'Big Data' to provide dynamic risk adjusted investment strategies.
BAM was founded by Dr. Richard D. Bateson a former CIO affiliated with Man Group plc with over 25 years successful experience in trading and investing in financial markets at blue-chip institutions. Richard was recently a member of the Research Committee of the Oxford-Man Institute at Oxford University and was formerly a physicist at Cambridge, CERN and several other World leading physics research labs.
BAM believes sustainable or ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment considerations are critical to address the world's challenges such as climate change, increasing population and environmental destruction over the next few decades.
BAM invests in highly rated and improving ESG companies and avoids speculating in commodities where they are detrimental to the environment and have social implications for local producers and consumers.
BAM specialises in applying quantitative and computer driven hedge fund techniques to ESG investing. These strategies include Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence ('AI') algorithms for ranking ESG companies, predicting market patterns and to target enhanced risk/adjusted returns.
The strategies are designed to produce stable long-term capital growth in all market environments and apply to a wide range of liquid asset classes including equities, bonds, FX and credit.
BAM currently offers two investment programs for professional investors:
BAM Generation: An AI driven long/short equity program that invests using alternative data sources such as news, social media, analyst ratings and ESG signals.
BAM Lexicon: A systematic 'commodity free' CTA specialising in intraday trading using Machine Learning with a high risk-adjusted return.
Investments are offered in the form of portfolio managed accounts ('PMAs') to institutional and professional investors. PMAs offer position-level transparency for investors, high liquidity and an extremely competitive fee structure. Clients have a choice of high quality brokers and custodians to remove counterparty risk and to provide security.
White labeled and customised investment solutions are available for institutional client portfolios.
