History
GHP GROUP was founded in 2012 following Mark Garber and Ian Hannam leading a management buy
out of the Russian office of Fleming Family & Partners (FF&P), an international financial group. GHP
GROUP is focused on emerging markets, as well as those of Europe and the UK. The main shareholders
of GHP Group are Mark Garber (Senior Partner and Chairman of the Board) and Ian Hannam (Senior
Partner and Board Member).
Cooperation between Mark Garber (formerly Chairman of the Board at Robert Fleming & Co) and the
Fleming family dates back to 1995 when Mark in cooperation with Hans-JoergRudloff (former CEO
of Credit Suisse and Chairman of the Executive Committee at Barclays Capital since 1998) established
United Capital Bank (UCB). In 1998, UCB was bought out by global investment house Robert Fleming
& Co, then headed by its Chairman, Roderick D. Fleming. That was the starting point for close
cooperation which lasted 14 years. This period was marked by several important events including the
sale of the investment banking division of Robert Fleming & Co to Chase Manhattan for $7.7 bn and the
establishment in 2000 of Fleming Family & Partners (FF&P) a new financial group, by Roderick D.
Fleming and Mark Garber. .
Since 2000, Fleming Family & Partners has acted as an adviser to some of Russia’s leading companies
including GMK Norilsk Nickel (developing the structure of its gold-mining business which later
materialized in the establishment of Polyus Gold), Rosneft, Gazprombank and SUAL.
In 2003, FF&P began investing directly in the Russian economy with the establishment of gold extraction
company Highland Gold Mining and its subsequent listing on the London Stock Exchange and the
expansion of iron ore mining company AricomPlc by taking advantage of being its majority shareholder
at that time.
In 2003, the Russian division of FF&P Group headed by Mark Garber created FF&P Russia Real Estate
Limited, the first Russia-based international investment fund specialising in the real estate sector. The
fund attracted capital of $120 mn from a wide range of foreign institutional investors wishing to allocate
money to the high-yielding office and warehousing segments. The second fund under management,
FF&P Russia Real Estate Development Ltd was established in 2006 and attracted over $150 mn for
investment in property development projects in Russia. The aggregate value of real estate assets pooled
under FF&P’s management in Russia, exceeded $500 mn.
In 2008, FF&P incorporated asset management company Fleming Family & Partners in Russia (assets
under management exceeded about $700 mn in 2012).
In 2012, Mark Garber and Ian Hannam took a decision to buy out the Russian division from FF&P. Its
new name (GHP GROUP) is derived from the names of its key partners, Mark Garber and Ian Hannam
(Garber Hannam Partners).
In November 2012 GHP GROUP Wealth Management has won the SPEAR's Russia ASSET
MANAGEMENT FIRM of the Year 2012 Award.
Ian Hannam is one of the world’s most prominent bankers. Over the course of his 30-year career, he has
executed about 300 deals in the investment and banking sectors in 40 countries worldwide, including the
creation of BHP Billiton, a takeover of Canadian Falconbridge by Xstrata and a merger of Xstrata and
Glencore. In 2012, The Guardian dubbed Ian Hannam the «king of mining M&A». Mark and Ian worked
together at Robert Fleming and Co until in 2000, Ian left for JP Morgan and was at the helm of JP Morgan
Cazenove and JP Morgan Capital Markets.
