OREANDA-NEWS. October 02, 2014. Nordea is the only European financial group to maintain a top 10 position in European investment fund sales year after year. The funds offered to the most demanding international clients are the same funds that Nordic personal customers can pick and choose from.

Fund sales in Europe in the first half of 2014 again placed Nordea at the top of European fund sales, as shown by figures from Morningstar, the independent investment research company. Only three companies have managed to maintain a top 10 position since 2012: the two American giants Blackrock and J.P. Morgan – and Nordea.

- It’s most encouraging to see that customers throughout Europe as well as in the Nordics trust and prefer the Nordea funds offerings. The new figures show the staying power of our funds sales, says Allan Polack, head of Asset Management.

Same quality in Bergen and Bologna According to Allan Polack the quality of Nordea funds is confirmed by the fact that some of the very demanding clients throughout Europe acquire the funds.

- To our many customers in the Nordics it’s a strong message that we can offer the same funds and the same quality of investments and services to a customer in Bergen, Bremen, Bologna and Birkerod, he says.

Same funds and investment team One of the most popular funds has been in demand across Europe as well as in the Nordic countries: The North American All Cap Fund. This fund is the best-selling US equity fund in Europe year to date.

Another example is the Nordea 1 – Stable Return Fund that has attracted strong inflows in Europe. The investment team behind the Stable Return Fund is the same team that is behind some of the successful Nordic funds, including the Swedish Stratega funds and the Danish Nordea Invest Basis funds.
