Furthermore, we have put a lot of emphasis on creating outcome oriented, rather than bench- mark driven, investment solutions designed to meet clients’ risk appetite and needs.
Nordea’s Multi Assets Team – with more than 15 years expe- rience and more than EUR 100bn

managed across vari- ous asset classes – has taken advantage of its successful approach to fixed income investments and the highly liq- uid instruments in the market to launch the Nordea 1 –
strategy aims to build an optimal fixed income portfolio with a very low level of risk (normal target volatility 1.5 – 2%) target- ing an annual return of 0.7 – 1%
1 
in excess of cash (gross of fees) over a full investment cycle. As such, from a risk-return per- spective, the CFIF is positioned one notch below the Nordea 1 – Flexible Fixed Income Fund (FFIF).
In order to achieve this, Nordea’s Multi Assets Team has lev- eraged the successful investment process and track record of the Flexible Fixed Income Strategy.

The resulting new strategy can invest across all fixed income asset classes (Govies, IG, HY, EM, etc.) and it also has access to the proprietary risk mitigat- ing strategies (i.e. FX Strategies). These, internally developed by Nordea’s Multi Assets team, strengthen the portfolio’s diver- sification in the current low yield environment.
Target return
Conservative Fixed Income Fund (CFIF) in May 2020. This product is designed for investors looking for a solution to avoid the negative returns on cash, as well as for very conservative investors that, due to their low risk profile or short time hori- zon, have traditionally invested in very low risk assets.
