Amsterdam-based Van Lanschot Kempen Investment Management has been selected to manage a €195m active sustainable European small-cap mandate for the Dutch pension fund Pensioenfonds PNO Media.
The active strategy selects high-quality, listed small-cap businesses with attractive valuations, sustainable characteristics, long-term competitive advantages, and strong management teams with the aim of achieving long-term capital growth.

“Throughout our discussions, we were consistently impressed by the fund managers’ knowledge of the Dutch pensions landscape and the European small-cap sector, their long-term track record, and their integrated approach to sustainability within the investment policy.”
