Finland's largest investment manager to launch a family of impact funds

OP Asset Management will invest some 75 percent of its first impact fund before it will set out to build another one. "In our view, impact investing is when target companies are able to show that they pay taxes where they operate and that their activities create jobs and advance gender equality in addition to contributing to sustainability," says OP's Head of Asset Management for Corporate and Institutional Customers.
