In LD Pensions, the investment team continuously selects and monitors the external managers responsible for LD Pensions’ investments. So far in 2021, this has led to the selection of Aegon as a new manager. The investment team has now received recognition for this. Nordic Fund Selection has awarded LD Pensions the ‘Nordic Fixed Income Mandate/Fund Search of the Year’ award for the selection of the manager for the European Asset-Backed Securities mandate.
Kristoffer Fabricius Birch, Head of Equities in LD Pensions, accepted the award in Stockholm on behalf of the entire LD Pensions investment team.
The award is organised by the magazine *Nordic Fund Selection Journal*, which gives professional asset managers the opportunity to nominate and present awards to investment teams that have achieved exceptional results. It is therefore industry professionals who have recognised the investment team at LD Pensions.
The contract was awarded following a tender process in which LD Pensions selected Aegon in June 2021 as the new portfolio manager for an ABS (Asset-Backed Securities) portfolio with a total value of DKK 1.2 billion.
The award was presented on 17 November at the annual Nordic Fund Selection Awards 2021 conference in Stockholm. In 2020, LD Pensions was awarded the ‘Nordic Mandate/Fund Search of the Year’ prize at a similar event for our tender process for a sustainable equity mandate, in which Nordea Asset Management was selected as the manager.
