“Since its launch in March 2024, the BNP Paribas Global Equity Net Zero Transition Fund has delivered excess returns by focusing exclusively on those companies that create and utilise solutions that seek to decarbonise the global economy and contribute to net zero goals,” said Daniel Shane, editor of Asian Private Banker and head of the Asset Management Awards for Excellence Judging Panel.

“An active core fund, the BNP Paribas Global Equity Net Zero Transition Fund commits to invest 70% of its portfolio in securities with emission reduction targets within 1.5 degrees Celsius and an implied temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius.

“Among the fund’s differentiated characteristics – which mean it stands out from the crowd in the ESG/sustainability investments universe – are its diversification across regions and sectors and style-agnostic approach. Perhaps most important, though, is BNP Paribas Asset Management’s dedication to placing ESG and sustainability engagement at the heart of its investment process – a strategy that has directly contributed to its impressive returns.

“For these reasons and more, Asian Private Banker is delighted to award BNP Paribas Asset Management the accolade of Best New Fund – ESG/Sustainability at the Asset Management Awards for Excellence 2025.”
