Nordea Asset Management (NAM) has added a new member to its STARS equity family, a suite of ESG solutions. The Nordea 1 – North American Stars Equity Fund leverages the successful track record of the Nordea 1 – Global Stars Equity Fund.

With the addition of this fund, NAM’s STARS equity family now consists of six strategies where portfolio management teams fully integrate ESG factors into the investment process and use dialogue and engagement to make impact.

“We evaluate stocks to identify companies able to deliver sustainable long-term shareholder value,” says Jens Rygaard, CIO, Fixed Income and Equities and acting head of Nordea’s Fundamental Equities team, which is in charge of the STARS equity products. “We not only invest in companies with high ESG standards, we go a step further by quantifying and integrating ESG into our valuation model.”

The Fund is managed by Johan Swahn, a member of the Fundamental Equities Team, who also is portfolio manager of the Nordea 1 - Global Stars Equity Fund, and has $350m in assets under management.
