Aktia’s asset management fund awarded best Nordic fixed income fund in its category

The Aktia Bond Allocation fund has been awarded the best Nordic fund in the Bond Global EUR category over a 10-year reference period in the Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards. The award is a recognition of Aktia's ability to generate competitive long-term return through expertise in actively managed fixed income funds and allocation.

Aktia Bond Allocation is a wealth allocation fund that primarily invests in bonds and utilises both Aktia's own actively managed funds and external funds that have passed a strict selection process.

"The esteemed recognition from Lipper speaks to Aktia's strong expertise in allocation and fund selection, as well as genuine cross-team collaboration that makes success possible. It is a great source of pride for me to be part of this larger effort," says portfolio manager Anna-Liisa Rissanen.

Johanna Juujärvi , the other portfolio manager of the fund and head of the Manager Selection and Asset Allocation team, says that the recognition is a valuable acknowledgement for Aktia and a result of Aktia's investments in open architecture expertise. 

“It shows that our fixed income and allocation expertise is strong compared to the Nordic reference group and that our systematic investment process that relies on thorough analyses produces results even in challenging market conditions. I am very proud of the persevering work and results of our portfolio management team and the entire portfolio management floor. This has required success from us in both our allocation decisions and our fund selection. Our success has been fuelled by the strong performance of the external products selected for the portfolio and especially our own fixed income funds,” Juujärvi emphasises.
