Nordea Asset Management

Nordea Asset Management (NAM) is part of the Nordea Group. We are an active asset manager with a global business model, offering services to clients in Europe, the Americas and Asia. Our clients include a range of wholesale and retail fund distributors, as well as a wide diversity of institutional clients. We distribute our funds through banks, asset managers, independent financial advisors, insurance companies and family offices and work with many of the leading global wealth managers. We manage investments across the full spectrum of asset classes. Sustainability is deeply rooted in our Nordic corporate culture, business model and philosophy: returns and responsibility We launched our first ESG sector-screened funds in 1988, before the idea of “ESG” was on most investors’ radar, and we were an early signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) back in 2007. Over past 30 years, we’ve worked diligently to enhance our ESG offering, which now includes both equity and fixed income solutions that aim to have a positive impact while delivering attractive returns. To stay at the forefront of ESG investment, we have built an award-winning Responsible Investment team, one of the largest in Europe in terms of pure ESG analysts. The team’s efforts, including engagements, field trips and ongoing dialogues, were recently recognized at Sustainable Investment Awards 2020 where we won ‘ESG engagement initiative of the year’ for our long-term engagement with the pharmaceutical industry in India. We take sustainability matters seriously not only because we believe it is our duty to do so, but also because we are convinced this is good for the investments we manage on behalf of our clients.
