The Cyprus Investment and Securities Corporation (CISCO), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank of Cyprus Group, has entered into a strategic partnership with the reputable global asset manager Schroders to launch a new suite of Sustainable Investment Portfolios tailored primarily for institutional investors as well as other investors with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) preferences.
This collaboration marks a significant development in the Cypriot financial services sector, combining CISCO’s deep market expertise and long history of successfully managing institutional mandates with Schroders’ global leadership in sustainable investing.
We selected Schroders as our ESG partner based on their established track record in sustainable and impact investing, as well as their use of proprietary investment models. The newly launched portfolios have been designed to meet the growing demand for investment solutions that align with ESG principles while delivering long-term financial performance.
The Sustainable Investment Portfolios are structured with clearly defined sustainability metrics, continuously monitored for both financial and non-financial performance, and aligned with international best practices in responsible investing. They are built to address the needs of all types of investors, including cautious, balanced, growth and dynamic risk profiles.
Christos Kalogeris, General Manager at CISCO, commented, “Our mission is to consistently deliver excellence not only in portfolio returns but also in the positive impact we generate. Through this partnership with Schroders, we are proud to offer investment solutions that reflect both performance and principle. This enables our clients to achieve sustainable growth while maintaining transparency and accountability.”
Dimitrios Batzis, Head of Southern CEE & Mediterranean countries, added, “Through the synergy between Schroders’ advanced proprietary sustainability investment models and CISCO’s market expertise and local leadership, we are able to offer a differentiated investment proposition, committed to truly responsible investing and the creation of long-term value for Cypriot investors. CISCO’s Asset Management division, one of the largest in Cyprus, serves a broad base of institutional clients including pension funds, provident funds, insurance companies, and corporates, both domestic and international. The launch of the CISCO Sustainable Portfolios is a direct response to increasing regulatory requirements and investor expectations around ESG integration.
This initiative positions CISCO and Schroders at the forefront of ESG innovation in the region, empowering institutional investors to navigate the risks and opportunities of the global transition toward sustainability.
