LD Pensions selects and continuously monitors the external managers responsible for LD Pensions' investments. These managers include both Danish and foreign portfolio managers, and the process of identifying the right managers for the investment mandates is always a thorough one.
At this year’s Nordic Fund Selection Award, LD Pensions was awarded the prize for “Nordic fixed income mandate/fund search of the year” for our work in selecting a manager for the new mandate for government bonds from emerging market countries (EMD Hard Currency).
Emil Willemoes Helms, portfolio manager in LD Pensions, was in Stockholm to accept the award on behalf of the investment team.
We put a great deal of effort into selecting the right fund managers, as this ultimately has a significant impact on the returns we can deliver to our members. It is therefore wonderful to receive this recognition.
Michael Kjærbye-Thygesen, Head of Fixed Income and Credit at LD Pensions, has, together with Emil Willemoes Helms, been in charge of the process of finding the right manager for the bond portfolio.
It has been important for us to approach the process thoroughly and systematically, as we believe this creates the best foundation for our future collaboration with the administrator. The award is a recognition of this approach, and we are particularly pleased that it is professionals who have nominated us.
LD Pensions offers investment mandates through EU tenders, with contracts running for a number of years before being put out to tender again.
The Nordic Fund Selection Award is an annual awards ceremony which has been organised by Tell Media Group since 2010.
