Japan's SuMi TRUST Steps Up Sustainability Game With UK Pact
The Japanese firm is working with a quantitative research house that says it mixes superior investment results with a sustainability framework to protect the environment.
Japan’s SuMi TRUST, which oversees $645 billion of assets under management, is partnering with London-based boutique Osmosis to bolster its sustainability offering.
The terms of the partnership also include a non-binding agreement
for SuMi TRUST to acquire a minority stake in Osmosis, SuMiTRUST
said in a statement yesterday.
Osmosis is a quantitative research house, aiming to deliver
investment returns while protecting the environment, and
therefore part of a wider ESG trend in wealth and investment
management.
The deal adds to the Japanese group’s footprint by
providing institutions and multi managers in the UK, Europe,
the Middle East and Asia with access to Japanese equity and fixed
income investment strategies.
