Vienna, AT —Twenty years ago, Nordea Asset Management (NAM) opened an office in Vienna to serve its growing community of Austrian clients. This year, due to its success, the office was transformed into an official NAM branch.
In November of 2000, NAM expanded its network of European offices to Austria, having reached a stage of development in which it was necessary to establish a physical presence in that market. The Vienna office has allowed a local team to interact directly with wealth managers and deliver a high level of service with the full support of client relationship, marketing and product specialist teams at NAM headquarters in Luxembourg.
“Nordea Asset Management is one of the big players in the Austrian market with a long and well-developed relationship to our partners, including Sparkassen, Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken, Insurances, Corporates and Independent Advisers,” says Dr. Johannes Rogy, Head of Sales, Centra & Eastern Europe at NAM. “Our 20-year presence here demonstrates a clear commitment to the local market. I am happy to be a part of the NAM Team to serve our clients and business partners in Austria and throughout Europe.”
Nordea’s asset management teams focus on generating alpha for clients and offering investment solutions that are outcome-oriented and adapted to market demands. Nordea offers more than 70 solutions in Austria, including its well-known Stable Return strategy and ESG Stars strategies. NAM’s product offering is an ideal fit for the Austrian market, where ESG investing has taken off and investors increasingly demand sustainable solutions.
As a Nordic asset manager, responsible Investment is in NAM’s DNA. With more than 30 years of dedication to sustainable and responsible investment, NAM manages over EUR69 bn in ESG strategies. In addition to the branch in Vienna, NAM has offices in Bonn, Brussels, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Helsinki, Lisbon, London, Luxembourg, Madrid, Milan, New York, Oslo, Paris, Santiago de Chile, Singapore, Stockholm and Zurich. Of the world’s top 20 largest global wealth managers, Nordea services 16 as wholesale clients and works actively with more than 300 international fund distributors and 500 corporate clients across the globe.
