A word on the Award


The Swiss Sustainable Funds Awards (SSFA) were created by the Geneva and Zurich Forums for Sustainable Investment with the aim of establishing “a benchmark and ranking acknowledged and recognised by the financial community”. The jury is independent and composed of representatives of the financial industry players (independent advisors, funds selectors, family offices, third-party managers and academics). Selection is done based on quantitative and qualitative data from two distinct providers, Conser and Anglo-Swiss Advisors.
