Evli has been awarded the ”Gold Award” for excellence in investment services and placed second overall, in “SFR Institutional Investment Services Programme Finland 2026” -survey in the large asset managers category. Evli was also again the most used institutional asset manager in Finland.
In SFR Research’s 2026 survey, Evli’s overall quality performance score rose to 4,17 on a scale of 1-5, which is one of Evli’s highest scores in this client survey during the past 10 years.
Evli was again the most used institutional asset manager in Finland, with 72 percent of the respondents using Evli’s asset management and mutual fund services. Evli also ranked first for clients’ future intentions; respondents were more likely to increase their use of Evli’s services than those of any other asset manager.
“We are grateful of these results and deeply appreciate the trust our clients place in us and the feedback they share. The strong scores reflect the depth of expertise and experience across our teams, as well as our commitment to superior client service. They also affirm the quality of our broad offering: demanding institutional investors value our products and services across both traditional and alternative asset classes”, Mona von Weissenberg, Head of Institutional Clients, comments.
In this year’s SFR survey, Finnish institutional investors evaluated 19 asset management companies based on nine different quality criteria. Survey respondents included insurance companies, pension institutions, endowments and foundations, cities and municipalities, parish unions, universities, and other institutional investors, with combined investment assets of more than €300 billion.
Top positions for Evli in alternative investments as well
A separate “Alternative Investments Report” was also published as a part of the survey; Evli was placed second overall in alternative investments among 16 asset managers, based on the overall quality assessment.
Evli strengthened its market position in alternative investments, being now ranked as the second most used asset manager. Over 51 percent of the respondents invest in Evli’s alternative funds, including private equity, private debt, infrastructure, real estate, and/or forestry.
Evli has excellent track record in asset management surveys
Evli has been ranked among the top performers in SFR Research’s client survey in 12 of the past 15 years - an exceptional track record and a distinction unmatched among institutional asset managers.
This year's strong result is a continuation of Evli's excellent track record in asset management surveys. In the Kantar Prospera’s “External Asset Management 2026 Finland” -survey, institutional investors ranked Evli once again as the best asset manager in Finland. Evli has been ranked among the top positions in Kantar Prospera’s survey for 14 consecutive years in a row, based on overall quality score.
Evli was also rated the best for overall quality in the large wealth managers category in the “SFR Private Wealth 2026” survey for high-net-worth individuals in Finland.
