Asset Management
Asset Management is organised into three units: Alternative and Mutual Fund Management, Asset Management for Institutional Investors and Services for Institutional Investors.
The Asset Management division offers a comprehensive range of Icelandic, Swedish and international mutual funds, as well as alternative investment vehicles. Furthermore, the Asset Management division offers customized asset allocation strategies and managed accounts, designed to meet the diverse needs of corporate, institutional and private clients. Special emphasis is placed on asset and liability management of pension funds and professional services in identifying client needs, structuring portfolios accordingly, managing risk and monitoring processes.
The Asset Management division employs its market experience and proprietary tools in asset allocation, security selection, portfolio risk management and related services. In an international, competitive environment, Kaupthing Bank has placed its focus on competent staff, efficient IT processes and highly effective teamwork between Kaupthing Bank’s international asset managers, researchers and analysts. This emphasis is aimed at obtaining the best possible results for clients and ensuring that they are offered comparable services and return on investments.
The Bank expanded its range of pension products during the year. The Bank operates private pension divisions for several pension funds and participates in the Swedish private pension fund system.
Kaupthing Bank has signed numerous mandates with a wide range of institutional clients, located mainly in Finland, Sweden and Iceland. This includes mandates for local bonds, equities and balanced mandates, but also a wide range of global and specialised mandates.
