Key take-aways
DPAM holds the 4th position in the top 10 of Sustainable Asset Managers in Europe, according to H&K Responsible Investment Brand Index 2020. The company has escalated four positions this year compared to 2019. Additionally, it is ranked in the 2nd position within the Benelux market. DPAM has been in the top 10 for three years in a row and appears in the index’s ‘Avant-Gardist’ category.
In its third edition, the Hirschel & Kramer Responsible Investment Brand Index (RIBI™) has expanded the total universe of analysed European asset managers to 284 and adds further depth to the evaluation methodology.

An increasing number of asset managers are aspiring to move into the Avant-Gardist category.
