Nykredit Asset Management: A Pioneering Asset Manager in the Nordic Region
Established in 1983, Nykredit Asset Management (NAM) has a rich history as one of the first dedicated asset management companies in Denmark. As part of the Nykredit Group, NAM has grown to become one of the largest asset managers in the Nordic region, boasting assets under management of approximately EUR 60 billion as of October 2021. The company's growth has been bolstered by the acquisition of Sparinvest in 2019 and Amber Asset Management in 2016.
Operating primarily in the financial services industry, NAM offers a wide range of investment products and solutions to its clients. These include active and passive strategies across various asset classes such as equities, fixed income, multi-asset solutions, alternatives, and hedge funds. In addition to this, NAM has a strong emphasis on fundamental environmental, social, and governance (ESG) integration into its investment process, proudly being a signatory of the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI).
NAM operates as a parent of boutiques, offering a complete range of products and solutions in Denmark. Internationally, the company focuses on the following boutique strategies: Nykredit Danish callable mortgage bonds, Nykredit Focus equities (a style-agnostic concentrated stock-picking strategy), and Sparinvest Value equities. This diversified approach allows NAM to cater to a wide array of client needs and preferences.
The company's robust administrative platform provides NAM with the flexibility to manage clients' assets under different umbrellas and in several wrappings, such as mandates, UCITS, and AIFs. NAM's clientele is diverse, spanning pension funds, insurance companies, financial institutions, foundations, corporates, and public institutions in the Nordic region, Europe, and worldwide. The company also serves private wealth clients in Denmark.
Nykredit Asset Management's success can be attributed to its pioneering spirit, commitment to responsible investment, and focus on providing tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of its clients. As the company continues to grow and expand its offerings, it remains dedicated to upholding its core values of innovation, sustainability, and client satisfaction.
