Change of investment team for these Danske Invest funds
UPDATED 17.05.2024: Two of the world's largest and most talented asset managers will handle investments in selected Danske Invest funds in the future. Get an overview of the funds here.
At Danske Invest, we continuously focus on ensuring that the best portfolio managers handle the investments in our funds – and, as we announced in early February, Goldman Sachs Asset Management and BlackRock will therefore be managing the investments in a number of Danske Invest funds in the future.
On 26 April this year, Goldman Sachs Asset Management took over the responsibility for investments in selected actively managed funds for both shares and bonds, while BlackRock will take over the responsibility for investments in a number of index funds with shares on 17 May this year.
“For many years, Danske Invest has been successful in combining portfolio managers from Danske Bank Asset Management with carefully selected international portfolio managers to ensure that investors in our funds have access to a wide selection of leading asset managers. We’re consequently building on a well-known model,” says Robert Mikkelstrup, Managing Director of Danske Invest Management A/S.
This relates to the following funds from the unit trusts Danske Invest, Danske Invest Select and Danske Invest Index:

The purpose is to ensure that we continue to have the strongest possible setup for the Danske Invest funds for the benefit of our investors. The change of asset managers does not affect the ongoing costs for management of the funds, and, as an investor, you do not need to take any action.
“Our investors will continue to have access to the same wide range of products as before. With the new asset managers, the investors will simply have access to even stronger products without any increase in our prices. It is also important to point out that the funds will obviously continue to follow Danske Invest’s processes and Responsible Investment Policy. No matter who manages our funds, accountability always plays an important role when you invest with Danske Invest,” says Robert Mikkelstrup.
