Multi-boutique approach

More than ever, stability, consistency and quality have become key in the asset management business. We are an active asset manager that aims to provide alpha and outcome solutions in diverse market conditions. Using alpha strategies is all about giving the fund manager freedom to invest with minimum constraints in order to maximise investor return. To satisfy growing demand for alpha strategies, Nordea Asset Management has established a multi-boutique approach that combines internal and external capabilities, where expertise in a given area can add competitive advantage and ultimately generate higher returns than the peer-group.

Our multi-boutique strategy

We have adopted a multi-boutique approach to investing by:

  • Establishing segregated teams for key asset classes, allowing each team to focus on its primary activity: managing money. This also translates into retaining competence centres that generate higher freedom of action for the investment managers.
  • Combining the in-depth expertise of our internal boutiques with exclusive competences of external boutiques, in order to ensure that our clients benefit from a state of the art investment process for any asset class.

Benefits of our multi-boutique strategy

The benefits of our multi-boutique strategy are passed along to our clients:

  • Our culture of collaboration allows us to access broad resources, in part, through exclusive agreements with some of the world’s leading investment management companies.
  • We are in a position to add value to our clients’ portfolios in diverse market conditions.
  • We have the ability to propose a variety of solutions to meet our clients’ needs.
  • We build on the strength of a boutique investment approach by combining it with the scale and stability of a large company.
