Stockholm (HedgeNordic) – Already having products available for distribution in Sweden and Denmark, Dutch Triodos Investment Management is further expanding its outreach in the Nordics by making the Triodos impact investing funds also available for investors in Norway. Cultura Bank, an independent savings bank established in 1997 aiming to finance socially beneficial and sustainable projects, will be the first to distribute the Triodos funds. Cultura Bank manages approximately NOK 1.4 billion.
Triodos Investment Management is a globally active impact investor managing a total of 17 funds, that both invest directly in sustainable companies and projects and in listed companies and bonds. Three funds that invest in listed companies and bonds are now available for distribution in Norway.
Triodos claims its funds go beyond traditional ESG approaches to invest for positive change by investing in listed companies and bonds that offer solutions to the world’s most critical sustainability challenges. The funds target companies that are instrumental in the transition towards a sustainable economy. One of their youngest vehicles launched in 2022, Triodos Future Generations Fund invests in listed small and midcap companies that support an ecosystem of equal opportunity, health and well-being, education, and safety for children.
Vuk Srdanovic (pictured), Investor Relations Manager at Triodos: “Our world faces many interconnected challenges, from climate change to social inequality. Countering these challenges requires a radical transformation towards a more sustainable society. A growing number of investors acknowledge their responsibility to contribute to this transformation, as well as the opportunities it presents. We are happy to cooperate with Cultura Bank in offering Norwegian investors the possibility to use their capital as a driver for positive change. Because, ultimately, how we invest today defines what our world will look like in the future.”
“We are proud to introduce the funds of Triodos Investment Management in Norway and hope they will be well received by private and professional investors. There are few better places to invest your money if you care about sustainability”, says Jannike Østervold, CEO of Cultura Bank.
