Our SIMS-S model
SIMS–S, our proprietary analytical model, plays a central role in our portfolio managers' sustainability analysis – whether for investment decisions or identification of material risks.
Our sustainability approach
Past performance is not indicative of future results. The value of fund units/shares can rise as well as fall and you may not get back the amount invested.
Our mission is to use sustainable investments to create a better economic future for our clients. We integrate environmental, social and corporate governance factors in our investment processes and investment decisions, to better handle risks and opportunities, which is expected to lead to sustainable, long-term, value creation.
Guided by our sustainability strategy, we invest in companies and other assets that can contribute to the transition to a more sustainable economy. We do this with the conviction that companies which have a structured focus on sustainability will be more successful in the long term. This does, in turn, create an opportunity for higher returns for our unit holders.

Our sustainability policy
Our overall goal is to accelerate the reduction of the global economy's greenhouse gas emissions, while maintaining our commitment as asset managers, which is to deliver strong, risk-adjusted return over time. To limit global warming, communities and businesses must reduce their carbon emissions and reach net zero emissions by 2050, according to the overall global warming goal.
As part of our climate strategy, we aim to make total assets under management carbon neutral by 2040, i.e. ten years ahead of the overall global warming target.
To reach the target of our climate strategy, an important and central part is to increase investments in companies that either offer solutions to global sustainability challenges or enable the transition to a more sustainable economy.
Methods for assessing sustainable investments
To create a basic view of all potential investments' risks, adverse impacts and opportunities in terms of sustainability, and thus be able to create of sustainable, long-term value, interaction and balance between integrated sustainability analysis, exclusion and active ownership are vital.
Integration
We put considerable significance on identifying and searching for exposure to important sustainability themes. We focus for example on investing in companies that actively encourage reduced environmental impact.
Active ownership
Every year we conduct hundreds of engagement dialogues with the companies we invest in. Furthermore, we vote at shareholder meetings and participate in nomination committees.
Exclusion
In our fund management, we exclude investments in companies that operate in sectors or business areas that are assessed to have adverse impacts or face major sustainability challenges.
Our portfolio management
We have long experience and strong investment capabilities in Equities, Fixed Income, Alternatives and Asset Allocation.
