GAM Systematic Unit Battling Losses (Nov 18)
A computerized trading unit snapped up by GAM two years ago reportedly faces heavy losses. The downbeat news adds to the asset manager's wider fight.
Cantab is down 31.4 percent this year, according to «Financial News» (behind paywall), which cites hedge fund data from investment bank HSBC.
The systematic trading unit's flagship fund fell by more than 6 percent last month alone, the trade publication reported. A spokeswoman for GAM declined to comment.

Did anyone notice the one of the voices was like Jony Ive from Apple?
Video was great.
