About the Leaders Universe

As a leading ‘search platform’ for institutional asset owners and from our close partnership with Pensions & Investments, Global Fund Search has unique access and insight into the work and preferences of institutional selection teams around the globe. The knowledge we accumulate ultimately makes us able to systematically identify the leading asset managers, e.g. within sustainable investing.

Sustainable investing is one of the major themes that we see among our investor-clients today, and it is a theme that is likely to play an important role in institutional investing for many years to come. Therefore, we dedicate this section of our platform to the leading asset managers and products that we, and our investor-network, see in this space.

Sustainable Fixed Income Leaders

Sustainable Handbook

GFS Handbook
Nordsip

Launched in collaboration with nordsip

Sustainable leadership is a status that most institutional asset managers are looking to attain; however, it can be difficult for investors to see through the marketing (and potential greenwashing) that is also a part of the game when significant amounts of assets flow towards a specific investment theme.


Therefore, the Sustainable Leaders program and the Sustainable Handbook attempt to identify the Sustainable leaders and thereby support institutional selection teams in their (re)search for external asset managers.

ESG philosophy

Founded in 1924, MFS is a global, active investment manager guided by a single purpose: to create value by allocating capital responsibly for clients. Through a powerful investment platform, MFS combines collective expertise, thoughtful risk management and long-term discipline to uncover what we believe are the best investment opportunities in the market.

At MFS, the term sustainable investing encompasses our ESG integration processes, proxy voting activity and issuer engagements. We believe that owning and engaging with companies to improve their ESG performance can sometimes be a more effective path to positive outcomes for all stakeholders than exclusion and divestment.

Our investment teams rely on deep fundamental research and a long-term perspective to select securities that can produce sustainable returns throughout an economic cycle. Although our overall approach to investing has always been well aligned with a sustainability-oriented mindset, in 2009 we formed the MFS Responsible Investing Committee to ensure that financially material ESG topics were being systematically integrated into our equity and fixed income investment processes. We believe collaboration results in better insights, which is why our investment team has always been integrated across asset classes. As a result of that long-held belief, our ESG analysts are expected to drive collaboration on sustainability-related topics, not create an internal ESG outsourcing group. For us, integration means each of our analysts and portfolio managers are considering these topics throughout the entire investment decision-making process.
