Investment Strategies
Alternatives
Over the years we have accumulated vast knowledge in alternative investing. We carefully select and partner with experts. Our strategies ranges from more liquid, such as alternative credit and uncorrelated solutions, to longer lock-up, like SDG Farmland, European private equity and multi-asset impact strategies. In each case, our process is designed to enable access to a curated set of third-party specialists not always available to other investors.
Private markets have the advantage that we are much closer to the companies we invest in. This proximity enables us to have more direct impact and implement and monitor highly ambitious sustainability targets.
