LONDON, Oct. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Over the past year, Iceland’s fixed income market has faced a barrage of new challenges.
Demand from foreign investors was nearly wiped out after new restrictions were placed on fixed-income investing, and turnover produced by domestic pension funds plunged as they turned their attention to international markets. At the same time, technology has developed at a rapid pace and changing customer behaviour has disrupted the industry.
During these turbulent times, Stefnir Asset Management, Iceland’s biggest fund management company, has proved its strength and perseverance by rising to the top of the industry.
For the second year in a row, Stefnir’s leadership in the market was recognised with the World Finance award for Best Investment Management Company for Fixed Income in Iceland, 2018.
In the latest issue of World Finance, Anna Kristjánsdóttir, Stefnir’s Head of Fixed Income, explained how the firm has managed to find opportunities even in today’s tough environment.
Kristjánsdóttir added that the abolition of the current restrictions on foreign investment in domestic fixed income would be a game changer for domestic companies in the market. Until then, the firm has several fixed income projects in the works that will blend its expertise and access to debt to achieve sound results for its clients.
