The company, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, already has offices in Paris, New York, Hong Kong and Cape Town. Its expansion comes as part of plans to bolster global assets under management. TOBAM manages $9 billion for investors across Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East.

The Zurich office will be managed by Beat Egger, managing director, business development for Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Liechtenstein. He will leverage his existing relationships in this region to promote TOBAM’s flagship Anti-Benchmark strategies to pension funds, fiduciary managers and wealth managers. Around 30 per cent of TOBAM’s assets under management are already sourced from this region.

The Dublin office will be managed by the company’s chief operations officer, David Bellaiche. TOBAM said it will aim to capitalise on Dublin’s qualities as a “technology hub” and a "gateway to the global funds industry”.

Meanwhile, the Toronto office will complement TOBAM’s four-strong New York team. The office will cater to TOBAM’s clients in Canada.

TOBAM managed more than $9 billion as of September 2016 across its Anti-Benchmark range, which aims at improving risk/return by enhancing diversification and avoiding the concentration of risk found in traditional market-cap weighted benchmarks.
