Lombard Odier Investment Managers’ Post

What are the current challenges in asset management? And how can we meet them with ESG in mind? Our Head of Sales Matthias Thomas Muench gave his thoughts on these challenges at the ESG Praxistag by FondsForum that are: 1. transparency about data, service providers and performance of all buildings in the portfolio 2. operational optimization with a focus on efficiency, sustainability and tenant satisfaction 3. holistic and proactive examination of a decarbonization roadmap That's why we enable greater sovereignty over the portfolio and service providers, ensure stable returns through efficient and sustainable operation and help to optimize the portfolio with an experienced team. #AssetManagement #RealEstate #PropTech #Sustainability #transparency #buildingoperations #FondsForum #ESGPraxistag #ESG Copyright: www.ESG-Praxistag.de Oliver Strumpf

Biodiversity-specific funds passed $1.5 billion by the end of 2023, with eight vehicle launches throughout the period. The total value of assets in funds with “biodiversity” in their titles grew by over $520 million throughout last year, according to analysis by Carbon Pulse. Eight fund launches between June and November contributed to the 2023 sum, reflecting investor interest in the theme, with 24 strategies active at the end of the year. The largest funds in the category remained AXA Investment Managers's two vehicles with over $580 mln together, up by over $100 mln collectively, Thomas Cox writes. However, conditions for the theme were not easy, with one strategy from Pléiade Asset Management merging into a business-to-business cloud vehicle.

What operational changes are needed to achieve sustainability-led investment decisions? Julia Kosulko, Senior Sustainability Manager and Net Zero Lead at Nordic asset manager Infranode, discusses how the organisation is building sustainability into operations, and the benefits this shift could bring.
