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.
