GAM, the troubled Zurich-based asset manager, suffered a 10% drop in its share price this morning after a damning analyst note from Credit Suisse slashed its target price and predicted outflows from key funds.

The asset manager, which has suffered a share price fall of more than 50% since the start of the year, has experienced a turbulent month following the suspension of fund manager Tim Haywood in late July.
