(Difficult market conditions demand a pragmatic approach f...)
Difficult market conditions demand a pragmatic approach from portfolio managers. Guillaume Rambourg, the former star long/short equity manager who partnered Roger Guy at Gartmore, knows this and has moulded his team at Paris-based Verrazzano Capital with this quality upper most in mind. In what is among the most successful launches so far in 2012, Verrazzano has already succeeded in raising $400 million for its first two European long/short equity funds. Yet Verrazzano’s pragmatism isn’t just confined to its investment style, but also applies to relations with investors and how the firm is likely to expand. Named after the bridge in New York City where Rambourg grew up, and which provides the start point for the marathon in which he often competes, the new firm has similarly well anchored foundations. Central to this is Verrazzano’s high level advisory board which features Guy who is also an investor.

Rambourg was born on January 8, 1971, in Ottawa, Canada, to French parents. His father, Michel Rambourg, was a United Nations diplomat, and his mother, Nicole, was a history and geography professor. He spent much of his childhood in New York City before his family moved to France in 1985. He attended the prestigious Lycée Henri-IV and later graduated from the École Supérieure des Sciences Économiques et Commerciales (ESSEC)
Guillaume Rambourg studied Economics and holds a Master’s degree in Economics and Finance from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. This academic background laid the foundation for his successful career in finance and investments.
Rambourg began his career in asset management in 1995, becoming one of the principal managers and shareholders at the British firm Gartmore Group. He was instrumental in shaping the company's investment strategies and influenced the organization considerably. However, in 2010, Gartmore suspended Rambourg for internal rule violations concerning order transmission practices. The suspension caused a 31% drop in the company’s stock price. Despite the controversy, Rambourg was later cleared by the UK Financial Services Authority (FSA) in 2011.
In 2011, after 18 years in London’s financial sector,[9] Rambourg launched Verrazzano Capital[10][11], a hedge fund he led until his retirement from finance in January 2018.[12]
Philanthropy
Following his departure from finance, Rambourg focused on philanthropy through the Rambourg Foundation, which he founded to promote education, the arts, sports, and cultural preservation, particularly in Tunisia. The foundation plays a significant role in supporting initiatives to foster social and cultural development in underserved communities.
In addition to his work with the foundation, Rambourg has also supported young athletes, including tennis players such as American Coco Gauff from 2015 to 2018 and Greek player Stefanos Tsitsipas, offering one of his first sponsorship deals.
