Established Icelandic asset management company whose role is to manage clients’ assets with their best interests as the guiding principle.
In recent years, Stefnir has taken important steps toward becoming a leader in responsible investing. We are a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) and a founding member of Iceland SIF, a platform that promotes knowledge and encourages discussion on responsible investing.
It is important to follow through on our commitments in a structured way. By using capital as a driving force, we can promote sustainable development while strengthening competitiveness and supporting future generations.
In managing funds, it is important to inform fund investors how we implement responsible investment methodologies across all of Stefnir’s operations.
Stefnir’s responsible investment policy outlines how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors are considered when investing in companies and other issuers.
Below is a brief overview of the key elements of Stefnir’s investment approach.
The ESG Committee operates in accordance with its rules of procedure, supports investment selection, and ensures that Stefnir’s responsible investment criteria are applied in practice. Employees of Stefnir who serve on the ESG Committee play a leading role in implementing responsible investment methodologies across all of the company’s operations.
Board members and employees of Stefnir are offered training through the PRI Academy in responsible investment methodologies. PRI Academy is a leading educational platform for those seeking to understand how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors affect company performance and create value for all stakeholders.
