Think independently. Invest responsibly.

Since 2009, nordIX has stood for focused fixed income management, Hanseatic stocks and tailor-made investment solutions for institutional investors.

nordIX AG is an independent asset manager from Hamburg, specializing in bonds, credit derivatives and structured fixed income strategies. For over 16 years, we have been supporting institutional investors with active, risk-aware approaches — from mutual funds to special mandates to direct investments. Our strength lies in well-founded stock selection, active management and tailor-made structuring. We use interest rate and credit derivatives such as credit default swaps not only for hedging, but also specifically to optimize income profiles.

Values that remain — even when markets move

As a Hamburg-based company, we live by Hanseatic principles such as reliability, restraint and a sense of commercial responsibility — firmly anchored in our daily activities. We stand for substance instead of show, clear communication and the trust that comes from consistent performance.

Our work is characterized by vision, pragmatism and the aim of presenting complex issues in an understandable, transparent and solution-oriented manner — for our customers as well as internally as a team. In doing so, we rely on partnership-based cooperation, well-founded decisions and a culture of continuous improvement.

For us, transparency, fairness and integrity are not marketing terms, but the basis for stable customer relationships and long-term success.

Sustainability as part of our DNA

At nordIX, sustainability is not a label – it is an integral part of how we operate, both in our portfolio management and in our day-to-day business. Since 2017, we have been a signatory of the UN PRI and systematically integrate ESG criteria into our investment processes. We apply strict exclusion criteria, rely on independent ESG ratings (e.g. MSCI), and follow a best-in-class approach.

Sustainability risks are actively incorporated into our investment decisions – with the goal of identifying and mitigating environmental, social, and governance risks at an early stage. At the same time, we ensure full transparency and avoid investments that do not align with our core principles.

Internally, we also strive for sustainable practices – such as climate-conscious mobility and resource-efficient processes. In doing so, we aim to create lasting value – for our clients, our team, and future generations.

From vision to responsibility

How an idea became a specialized asset manager: The founders of nordIX look back on the early days, the challenges they faced, and the principles that continue to guide our actions to this day.
