Jan Erik Saugestad
chief executive officer, Storebrand AM
With Storebrand Asset Management, Jan Erik has taken a leading position in the latest shift in sustainable investments, where investors on a larger scale and in new ways become more active owners than previously seen. Jan Erik is a firm believer in “Partnership Is The New Leadership” which is visible through Storebrand Asset Management’s engagement and co-chairing in great investor alliances, engaging both governments and companies towards a more sustainable path.
His advocacy for sustainable investments also includes alternative investments like private equity, real estate and infrastructure. Managing assets under strict environmental, social, and corporate governance criteria are to him not an option nor a compromise, but the only way to do business to secure a future for all while
providing the best risk adjusted return on investments. Storebrand Asset Management has a clear ambition to provide value beyond return for clients.
His deep asset management experience in addition to his visionary approach to sustainable investments also makes him a very sought-after panelist and speaker.
