This award as best performing asset manager for smaller companies in a very competitive mutual fund market is the confirmation that sustainable investment policy based on our index plus strategies is a winning strategy. Our balanced funds with a long-term track record of over 5 until 10 years and (re)winning the Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards clearly proved this. 

The Refinitiv Lipper Fund Award is providing confidence in maintaining our index plus investment strategies. and is achieving more and more a secured place in the markets of mutual funds with either passive or active strategies. 

Both our retail and institutional clients are reaching out to us as a sustainable asset manager with solid investment strategies more and more. This is based on strong inflow of asset under managements. Receiving the Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards 4 years in a row, is giving us and our clients confidence.”
