Career moves, SFDR, strategies and growth – our most-read stories in 2021
While stories about Covid-19 restrictions were popular last year, we have seen a wider range of topics in the top 30 of our most-read articles during the course of 2021.
In March, the new Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) came into effect – and caught the attention of our readers. Stories about the varying intepretation and application of this legislation were popular, and sustainability in general is a clear theme of the top 30.
AMWatch's extensive coverage of the largest Nordic asset managers and their AUM growth is also a topic of interest, especially our interviews in the wake of their quarterly reports. Again in 2021, we have seen impressive growth rates in assets under management from most of the large Nordic asset managers.
Interviews about strategy, be it business or investment strategies, also attracted our readers' attention. The same goes for stories about larger mandates, and sector career moves.
With the hope that we can also provide you with knowledge and insight into the Nordic asset management sector in 2022, AMWatch's editorial staff wish you a happy and prosperous New Year.
