Nordic investment specialists united for the first time

On 2 October 2014, the Nordic Investment Managers Forum in Luxembourg celebrates its premiere: five leading asset managers from Scandinavia will come together for the first time to discuss important market trends and investment topics with professional investors. The forum is organised by Danske Invest, DNB Asset Management, East Capital, Origo and Sparinvest.

Committed to Nordic values

The name Scandinavia translates to 'the dangerous peninsula', which relates both to dangerous sea currents and the blustery north wind: the Nordic countries learned a long time ago, therefore, how to survive storms. That is apparent to this day. On the one hand, the Scandinavian asset managers prove themselves to be robust and stable partners for their investors; on the other hand, they also set new standards in terms of customer orientation, transparency and sustainability. These values, which ultimately set the foundations for a strong market position, have also been subscribed to by the Nordic Investment Managers Forum, which will celebrate its premiere in the heart of Luxembourg City - namely, in the historic Neumünster Abbey.

Agenda in line with investor needs

The Scandinavian investment managers all stand for flat hierarchies, which allow investors direct access to portfolio managers and other decision-makers. Visitors can thus expect an in-depth analysis of current investment topics, clear statements and an open exchange of opinions with the five fund managers from the leading Nordic asset management companies. The following topics are on the forum's agenda:

Absolute return: Is your Investment Portfolio ready for structural change?
Jens Wiberg Larsson, Fund Manager of the European Equities Absolute Strategy Team, Danske Invest

Innovation meets returns: Global Technology Equities
Anders Tandberg-Johansen, Fund Manager and Head of Global Technology, DNB Asset Management

Eastern Europe from a broader perspective: Eastern European Equities
Aivaras Abromavicius, Partner and Member of the Portfolio Management Team, East Capital
