“This is an excellent appointment for Gartmore. Gil is an exceptional fund manager and we are delighted that he is going to join us” Mr. Chin said in a statement. “Investors in Gil’s portfolios will benefit from substantial added research and analytical support that our U.S. equities investment platform provides.”
