Funds

Catering to all tastes

Nordea Investment Funds S.A. offers a comprehensive product range that includes award-winning sub-funds. The range comprises sub-funds investing in a variety of instrument types and geographical regions, as well as a selection of traditional and alternative investment styles.

Nordea multi-boutique strategy

To facilitate the best possible return for a given level of risk, Nordea has two distinct categories within its fund range: core products, including funds that are managed with the aim of providing an above-benchmark return but within certain predefined boundaries in order to avoid assuming too much risk; and alpha strategies, whereby the funds in question are run in a way that allows the fund managers - Nordea's boutique asset managers - a high degree of independence in order to maximise investment returns.

Internal boutiques

Internally, we have established segregated teams for key asset classes, allowing each team to focus on its primary activity: managing money. However, it is almost impossible for an asset manager to create alpha in all asset classes and regions using purely internal resources, which is why, in order to provide the best possible investment solutions for our customers, we have also decided to team up with external asset management boutiques.

External boutiques

Employing a multi-boutique approach enhances the quality of our broad and diversified range of products. It also means that we can call upon the services of some of the world’s leading investment management companies on an exclusive basis, while retaining the flexibility to add boutiques when new investment opportunities arise or market needs so dictate. Consequently, investors in our funds can benefit from our ability to manufacture investment solutions by bringing together the capabilities of each boutique.

Combining scale with expertise

At Nordea, we believe that the success of this multi-boutique model is built on the combined strengths of a boutique investment approach and the scale and stability of a larger organisation. We have positioned our boutiques around centralised support functions, such as client relationship services, product development and marketing, a structure that gives one point of entry to any of our boutiques and covers a wide range of listed asset classes and risk/return profiles.

It’s all about better service, better products and better investment returns.
