Nordea Asset Management Introduces a Fresh Sustainable Equity Investment
In a move that aligns with the growing trend of conscious consumerism, Nordea Asset Management has announced the launch of a new equity fund with a focus on sustainable investments and social impact. The fund, while not yet identified by its exact name in the available documentation, shares many characteristics of a Global Climate and Social Impact Strategy.
The fund, in part, invests in stocks of companies that offer solutions for social and environmental themes, making it an appealing investment opportunity for those seeking to make a positive impact while growing their wealth. To ensure the fund's investments are well-researched and sustainable, the portfolio managers will collaborate closely with the Nordea research team for sustainable investments.
Compliance with Article 8 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) ensures that the investment approach promotes environmental and social characteristics. This means that the fund considers principal adverse impacts on sustainability factors, offering a diversified portfolio of securities suitable for wealth accumulation and pension savings.
It is worth noting that the fund may be exposed to currencies other than its base currency and may invest in regulated markets within the European Economic Area (EEA), in equivalent markets outside the EEA, or in other regulated markets open to the public. A recommended holding period of at least 5 years is suggested, assuming the fund is the sole or major holding of the investor, based on the historical volatility of underlying investments.
While the fund's exact ISIN is not known at this time, the prospectus referenced lists ISIN SE0000427874. However, this ISIN is associated with a fund described in the supplied prospectus but not explicitly named "Global Climate and Social Impact Strategy." To confirm the specific fund name for the exact match, it is recommended to cross-reference the fund name in the prospectus or on Nordea Funds' official website.
Nordea Asset Management has also emphasised its commitment to responsible investing. The firm issues a consolidated statement on principal adverse impacts, part of its investment due diligence process. This includes monitoring the aggregated negative impact of investments on sustainability factors using both mandatory and voluntary SFDR indicators. Further sustainability-related information is available in the appendix of the prospectus and in Nordea’s Responsible Investment Policy.
Thomas Sørensen and Henning Padberg are the portfolio managers for the Global Climate and Social Impact Strategy, according to recent Nordea product materials. For those specifically looking for the "Global Climate and Social Impact Strategy" equity fund by Nordea Asset Management, it is advised to verify the fund name and ISIN with Nordea’s official documentation, as the prospectus referenced may describe a similar but not identically named fund.
