Nordea AM has launched a new investment fund called Nordea 1 – Global Sustainable Listed Real Assets Fund, which is an Article 9 compliant strategy with a clear sustainable objective: to invest in listed real assets focused on environmental/social stewardship and technological innovation. The investment fund is managed by CBRE Investment Management, one of the world’s leading real assets specialists.
This innovative solution provides exposure to sustainable listed real estate and infrastructure companies, assets renowned for stable and predictable cash flows – qualities in high demand amid the current uncertain economic backdrop.
The Fund is ideally situated to address today’s unique global challenges from several different angles:
- Sustainable Listed Real Assets offers a hedge against inflation as their long-term inflation-linked contracts help building resilience against the effects of rising prices.
- Investments in modern and energy efficient solutions are particularly well positioned to address the effects of rising energy prices and to leverage the green economy trend as well as the market’s recognition of the Sustainable Development Goals.
- Aligned to many of today’s most compelling themes, such as decarbonisation, modernisation, affordable housing and sustainable cities, real assets also are poised to continue capitalising on the global ESG revolution.
“Real assets form the backbone of every economy, enabling economic and social development. These companies generate positive social, environmental and economic impacts – such as contributing to greenhouse gas emissions reduction, revitalising disenfranchised areas and improving access to services. Powered by ongoing governmental initiatives, supportive investors, and aspirational underlying tenants and stakeholders, we see tremendous near and long-term tailwinds for sustainability-focused real assets.”
