The Swiss Sustainable Funds Awards recognize the top-performing asset managers and funds with the highest SRI commitment. Recently, the organizers announced the list of nominees, the final ranking will be announced on May 27.
The Geneva Forum for Sustainable Investment (GFSI) and the Zurich Forum for Sustainable Investment (ZFSI) are organizing the Swiss Sustainable Funds Awards (SSFA) for the third time in a row. They are supported by various partners.
This year's SSFA will be awarded to the winners of eight investment categories. In addition, two special awards will be presented to the best Swiss and international sustainable asset managers. The jury based its deliberations on the proprietary ESG analysis of Conser - an independent auditor and sustainable fund selector - which assessed the underlying assets of all eligible funds, as well as on the analysis of quantitative performance and risk data by the consulting firm Anglo-Swiss Advisors.
Composition of the jury
The SSFA 2021 jury is chaired by René Sieber, asset management specialist and professor at the Geneva Finance Research Institute (GFRI), and is made up of renowned professionals from the Swiss institutional and private asset management industry, the organizers write. This year's panel includes Suzanna Gobet (Bedrock Group), Joerg Grossmann (Allfunds), Frank Juliano (Compenswiss), Stéphanie de Mestral (De Pury Pictet Turrettini & Cie), Mirjam Staub-Bisang (BlackRock) and Beatrix Wullschleger (Basel-Stadt Pension Fund).
"The goal of the Swiss Sustainable Funds Awards is to promote the development of socially responsible investments and increase the visibility of those who are committed to a rigorous and qualitative approach. Our goal is to serve the financial world by providing it with a benchmark for the third consecutive year. This is recognized by it because it is considered a tool for validating the best practices and know-how of the industry," explains Professor René Sieber.
