About Nordea Asset Management;

 Nordea Asset Management has a global business model and manages asset classes across the full investment spectrum. A total of 930 employees are employed in asset management, of which 25% are dedicated investment specialists within four investment centres in Bergen, Copenhagen, Helsinki and Stockholm. With EUR 241 bn in assets under management, Nordea is naturally one of the leading investment manager in the Nordic Region but has also developed a large global business servicing clients across continents (Europe, Americas and Asia).

 Social responsible-oriented thinking is inherent in the Nordic mentality and so it is not surprising that the Scandinavian countries are global leaders in numerous related aspects. In November 2007, Nordea signed, as one of the first major banks in the Nordic Region, the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). By signing, Nordea commits itself to incorporate environmental, social and corporate governance issues into investment analyses and decision making processes.
