Asset Management Company

The Bank offers investment funds managed by Nordea Investment S.A. investment management company, which is incorporated in Luxembourg and represented in several countries. To secure wide range of investment funds with better results Nordea Investment S.A. is applying its multi – boutique strategy by distributing both internally and externally managed investment funds. 
To manage the range of investment funds Nordea is using two different strategies: 

• Core products include funds whose management purpose is higher return than that of the underlying benchmark, yet within a certain scope to avoid an excessive risk. 
• Alpha strategy products are managed by giving the fund manager a free hand in investing the funds with minimum restrictions to achieve the maximum returns for investors. 

Nordea investment funds are managed by both internal and external managers to secure possibly higher returns in compliance with the acceptable risk appetite. 
 
Internal boutique 

• By establishing a group of internal boutique to manage the set basic asset classes our officers have the most chance to focus on asset management to increase the returns. 
• However, it is nearly impossible to establish an Alpha strategy in all asset classes and regions by only using the internal resources. Therefore we cooperate with external managers as well to secure the best investment solutions.  

External boutique 
 
By using an extended and diversified range of products, Nordea secures high asset management quality. We have an exclusive cooperation with top asset managers throughout the world. If the market need arises or we see new investment perspectives, the cooperation with external boutique means a flexible opportunity to attract new managers.   
 
The key to success of Nordea multi – boutique model is the scale of Nordea group and its stability combined with the benefit of attracted external boutique. 
 
Our asset managers focus on the following centralised support functions: risk management, sales, marketing, product development, and facilitation of customer relations. It secures simple approach to any fund offered by Nordea and a wide range of proportions between underlying risks and returns.   
 
The industry leaders together create better products, better service, and better returns on investments.
