OREANDA-NEWS. August 13, 2012. Citywire gave A-rating to Irina Markitanova, Fund Manager of Danske Capital’s Baltic Equity Fund. Citywire is a renowned British financial news agency and publisher, and the only institution that rates fund managers. The information provided by Citywire is widely used for making investment decisions all over Europe both among professional and private investors, reported the press-centre of Sampo. 

CEO of Danske Capital Estonia Silja Saar said that giving Irina Markitanova an A-rating for her work is a great recognition of the entire Estonian team of Danske Capital: “Although a big part of the investment decisions regarding our pension funds and other assets are based on financial market and economic outlooks on the global scale, our strong competence on the domestic market has always been an inseparable component of our know-how.”

“Only very few fund management companies have maintained such a high level of competence of the Baltic market because it is so small,” added Saar. “This is also why the Baltic Equity Fund, which has been operating since 1998, is so unique – it is one of the few funds that invests in the region and is open to investors for trading every day.”

Danske Capital is an international asset management company that belongs to one of the biggest Nordic financial groups Danske Bank Group. Danske Capital has been operating in Estonia since 1995 and over here it is primarily known as the manager of the assets of Sampo’s pension funds and institutional clients.
