Swiss Sustainable Funds Awards 2022: Nominees have been determined

The Geneva Forum for Sustainable Investment and the Zurich Forum for Sustainable Investment are organizing the Swiss Sustainable Funds Awards (SSFA) for the fourth year in a row. They are supported by the most important umbrella organizations: the Swiss Financial Analysts Association (SFAA), the Swiss Training Centre for Investment Professionals (AZEK), the Swiss Pension Fund Association (ASIP), the Asset Management Association Switzerland (AMA) and Swiss Sustainable Finance (SSF).

Eight asset classes

This year, the SSFA are to be awarded to the winners of eight investment categories. In addition, two special awards will be presented to the best Swiss and international companies for sustainable asset management. The jury based its deliberations in particular on the proprietary ESG analysis of Conser, an independent sustainability fund auditor and 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. The jury, chaired by René Sieber, asset management specialist and professor at the Geneva Finance Research Institute (GFRI) of the University of Geneva, is composed of Suzanna Gobet (Bedrock Group), Jörg Grossmann (Allfunds), Frank Juliano (Compenswiss), Stéphanie de Mestral (De Pury Pictet Turrettini & Cie), Stefano Battiston (University of Zurich) and Beatrix Wullschleger (Basel-Stadt Pension Fund). "The Swiss Sustainable Funds Awards aim to support the development of socially responsible investing and increase the visibility of the actors that contribute to it. Our aim is to serve the financial community by creating, for the fourth consecutive year, a framework of reference recognized by the financial community as a label of industry best practices and know-how," commented Professor René Sieber.
