Financial institution Nordea introduces a thematic investment fund.
Nordea Asset Management has launched a new sustainable investment fund, the Global Climate and Social Impact Strategy. Classified under Article 9 of the EU Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), this fund is dedicated to environmental and social impact, aligning with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Managed by Thomas Sørensen and Henning Padberg, the strategy prioritizes companies that address the climate crisis and social issues. It seeks out companies offering solutions to social and environmental issues, while presenting a compelling investment opportunity. The strategy also targets investors who prioritize social and environmental aspects.
The Global Climate and Social Impact Strategy employs a strict ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) integration and active stewardship approach. Key elements of the strategy include reducing carbon intensity, strong exclusion criteria related to coal mining and power generation, active engagement with companies on climate issues, and the application of Paris-aligned benchmark exclusions starting in 2025 for some investment products. The strategy also emphasizes social aspects such as workplace safety and a fair transition towards a climate-neutral economy.
Performance of the fund is tracked and analyzed by Morningstar, with regular updates on investment returns and management commentary. Specific performance data for the Nordea 1 - Global Climate & Env funds (EUR and NOK classes) are available on Morningstar, providing insights into how the strategy performs relative to benchmarks and peers in the ESG fund category.

The growing group of conscious consumers is interested not only in what products are made of, but also how they are produced. This strategy caters to this demand, focusing on companies that combine a sustainable claim with profit-seeking.
