Our aim is to find the best investment managers and the most efficient passive investment vehicles for our clients through our in-house Manager Selection process. We are completely independent – if fund managers change or performance relative to alternatives deteriorates, we will replace them.

CWS Sustainable Future equity mandate
The CWS Sustainable Future mandate is built around a global equity strategy that invests in companies providing innovative products and services that help mitigate climate change and promote a more sustainable future. The portfolio consists of carefully selected equity funds, with an average allocation of 70% active and 30% passive alternatives.
Investment strategy building blocks
- Solutions: Our investment strategy focuses on companies globally that are positioned to contribute positively to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and are highly aligned with EU Taxonomy regulation.
- Low carbon:We invest in companies committed to Paris Climate agreement targets and also provide solutions to mitigate and adapt to the changing world.
- Active owners: We seek to invest with the best managers who engage actively and influence underlying companies via dialogue and proxy voting. We require high quality impact reporting and case studies for progress.
- Exclude: We require the selected strategies to exclude companies that breach international conventions or engage in unacceptable business practices
Fixed income mandate
The fixed income mandate is a solution that invests solely in fixed income assets and is managed based on our current market view, which is updated regularly. The portfolio is constructed using a selection of 5-8 active fixed income strategies that we have identified as the best in the market. These strategies are carefully chosen to provide optimal diversification and risk-adjusted returns.

- Strong performing strategy since 2016: approx. 2,5 % p.a. average return (as of 12/2022)
