Fondo Pegaso on Oct. 27 became the first Italian Pension Fund to adopt the ESG.IAMA 2023 research, conducted by ET.Group, in one of its tenders as a support for the selection of Asset Managers, through measuring and understanding the ESG level not only of investments but also of the Asset Manager itself as a company.

Andrea Mariani, Director of Fondo Pensione Pegaso, commented, ‘Fondo Pegaso decided to adopt ESG.IAMA as part of the selection of Asset Managers, in order to better understand the identity of the Asset Manager from a sustainability perspective: there is a widespread commitment of Asset Managers to integrate ESG issues into financial management processes and therefore it becomes more difficult to understand the differences and characteristics. Consequently, we took the opportunity to leverage an existing specific survey without duplication of information burden‘.
