Nuveen has won the Responsible investor of the year (Asset Manager category) award by combining real-world impact with institutional scale, innovation and measurable outcomes.

With $1.3tn in AuM (as of 30 Sept 2025), Nuveen offers a genuinely multi-asset responsible investing platform across public and private markets. In 2025, it raised a record $20bn into RI-branded products, taking RI AuM to $110bn and direct impact to $24.7bn, giving insurance investors breadth, liquidity options and the ability to implement responsible objectives at scale.

Crucially, as the judges noted, responsibility is embedded across everything Nuveen does - from product development to manager selection and integration.

In other words, Nuveen has built products around responsibility rather than bolting responsibility onto products, and it does so with no apparent trade-off in yield, diversification or client experience.

That approach is reinforced by market-leading innovations ( rhino/blue/orange bonds and nature solutions such as the Amazon Reforestation Bond), scaled platforms across sustainable infrastructure (including C-PACE), natural capital, affordable housing and responsible fixed income, and strengthened oversight through AI-enabled dashboards, ESG analytics and its 2025 partnership with the Global Impact Investing Network on a climate solutions framework.
