Aktia Pankki Oyj : Portfolio Managers of Aktia’s Nordic funds granted Citywire AAA rating

Aktia's portfolio managers JanBrännback and Janne Lähdesmäki have achieved the highest AAA rating of the UK analysis and insight company Citywire. The rating is based on the risk-adjusted return of all the funds managed by the portfolio manager. In the international analysis, fewer than one in four portfolio managers achieve a Citywire rating, and of these, only the best 10 per cent receive the AAA rating.

Jan Brännback and Janne Lähdesmäki manage Aktia's Nordic, Nordic Small Cap, Nordic Micro Cap and Capital funds. Brännback's and Lähdesmäki's asset management expertise was also recognised in January, when the Swedish newspaper Dagens Industri named them among the best Nordic fund managers.

'Our entire portfolio management team currently holds a Citywire rating, which in itself is a great accomplishment that reflects Aktia's expertise in equities. Jan's and Janne's AAA rating testifies to their unique professional skills and successful work to create added value to clients,' says Andreas Bergman, Portfolio Manager, acting Head of Portfolio Management at Aktia.
