About BlueBox

BlueBox Asset Management SA

BBAM was formed in 2018 as a partnership between Blue Box Wealth Management and William de Gale, having just left BlackRock after 20 years investing technology equities and a decade running BlackRock's offshore global technology fund, BGF World Technology. The BlueBox Global Technology Fund was launched in March 2018, continuing William's very successful strategy of focusing principally on companies that are enabling the direct connection of computer systems to the real world - this Direct Connection lies behind everything that is currently exciting in technology. As the Fund grows, the company does too.

BlueBox has since doubled in size and launched two more funds: Islamic Global Technology and Precision Medicine. We continue to fulfil our vision of offering our clients the best long-term thematic investment funds.

“The team at BlueBox is proving that a good idea combined with top talent, strong discipline and hard work brings great results.”
