GQG Partners was one of the fastest-growing investment boutiques of last year. The asset manager, which is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, grew assets under management by $30bn in 2020, despite the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, which dented inflows and performance for some of its largest rivals.

The business was founded in 2016 by former Vontobel co-CEO Rajiv Jain, who is GQG’s chair and chief investment officer of the firm, which now oversees $60bn across four main strategies — global, international, US and emerging markets.
