News review, October 10

In our review of news linked to the Nordic asset management ecosystem, one thing we of course need to highlight is our Nordic Fund Selection Forum, a Fondbar as well as a roundtable focused on fixed income and ESG.
START

Earlier this week we travelled to Copenhagen for our Nordic Fund Selection Forum, hosted in cooperation with Allspring Global Investments, BNP Paribas Asset Management, Capital Group and NinetyOne – who joined with fund managers covering EM equities & EM debt, credit investments as well as sustainability strategies.

We also benefitted from a panel discussion where John Hydeskov from AkademikerPension, Erik Bennike from PensionDanmark and Magdalena Högberg from Swedish AP4 shared their thoughts on the pros and cons of externally managed assets in portfolios.

In Copenhagen we also sat down for a roundtable where we discussed the current state and future development of fixed income and ESG together with Aegon Asset Management, PGIM Fixed Income and State Street Investment Management as well as some Danish investors. The full write up from that discussion will be published in the next issue of Nordic Fund Selection Journal.

Additional news from Denmark is that Neuberger Berman is opening their doors to their Copenhagen office. In a post on LinkedIn, Mark Østergaard, strategic investment leader and Nordic regional partner at Neuberger Berman, writes: “On November 6th, join us from 15:00 for an afternoon of drinks, snacks, and conversation as we celebrate this milestone for Neuberger Berman in Denmark. Check out the office, meet the team, and help us kick things off in style.”

To conclude, if you are interested in corporate governance I would suggest you follow Institutionella Ägares Förening (Institutional Owners’ Association) who just made their debut at LinkedIn. Institutionella Ägares Förening is a non-profit that brings together 16 Swedish institutions with a common commitment to promoting good self-regulation in the Swedish stock market and safeguarding their members’ interests as institutional owners.
