Overview

Capital Gearing Asset Management (CGAM) is a UK-based investment manager best known for managing Capital Gearing Trust plc (lON: CGT), a long-established investment trust listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. The firm has built a strong reputation among private and professional investors for its disciplined, long-term approach to capital preservation and steady wealth creation.

CGAM’s core philosophy is to protect investors’ capital first, then seek to grow it steadily over time, particularly through different market cycles. Rather than relying on a single asset class, the team runs a diversified, multi-asset strategy, investing across equities, index-linked bonds, conventional bonds, cash and specialist assets. This diversification is designed to reduce risk and volatility while still providing exposure to long-term growth opportunities.

The firm is known for its cautious, valuation-led investment style, with a strong focus on risk management and inflation protection. By remaining flexible in its asset allocation and avoiding short-term market noise, Capital Gearing Asset Management aims to deliver resilient returns across a wide range of economic environments, making it a long-standing choice for investors seeking a defensive, capital-preserving approach.
