Stockholm (NordSIP) – In our second unveiling of the IRRI survey 2019‘s “Nordic Cut”, which highlights the Nordic firms and individuals who stand out and who the Nordics choose globally, we are proud to announce which asset managers came on top.
The question survey participants were asked was: Which ASSET MANAGERS (FIRMS) contribute most to sustainable and responsible investment?
And the winners are…
The Nordics have chosen:
1 – Storebrand Asset Management / SPP Fonder
2 = Hermes Investment Management
2 = Impax Asset Management
2 = RobecoSAM
Unlike last week, when we were able to show you the top-ranking Nordic sales persons as chosen by the global participants, we are unable to present the same results for this category, as the number of Nordic asset managers mentioned by the survey participants was too low to make for a meaningful competition.
As mentioned in a previous IRRI results summary, only Norges Bank Investment Management made it into the top 10 of the global ranking, coming in 8th at the same position as Generation Investment Management. Storebrand / SPP still made it into the top 20, coming in 17th. The asset manager with the most votes globally was BlackRock, followed by BNP Paribas and Hermes Investment Management.
You can find all the global rankings on SRI-Connect of course, but for the rest of the Nordic Cut, you’ll have to watch out over the next few weeks, as we will continue to unveil a new category every week.
Meanwhile, you may check what the winner of this week’s category, Storebrand/SPP, has to say about their work on sustainability in the past year.
