JAPAN: Nomura Asset Management (NAM) has introduced the Global Sustainable Equity (GSE) Fund vehicle for Caisse des Dépôts and its client, Ircantec, reported Investment International. Launched in December 2024, the mandate is a tailored version of NAM’s existing GSE fund, which was first opened for investment in 2019.
The core GSE fund follows a concentrated global equity strategy to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns by investing in companies that have a high positive total stakeholder impact. Once fully funded, the GSE franchise is expected to approach US$1.8 billion in assets under management, across both the core strategy and its variants, including environmental enhanced and Shariah compliant versions.
