Asset Management in Kapitalanlage- und Versicherungsgesellschaften

Dr. Elisabeth Hehn, a managing partner in institutional investment consulting, edited this 2002 Gabler volume at an interesting inflection point for German institutional finance: sustainable and ethical investing was beginning to move from niche to mainstream, and retirement provision was reshaping what insurance companies needed from their asset managers. The book addresses all three — client expectations, sustainable investment criteria, and rating systems — in a way that GetAbstract found worth summarizing for professional readers. Gabler's Springer imprint is a credible platform for this kind of specialist reference. The honest caveats are substantial: the book is German-only, the regulatory and market landscape has changed significantly since 2002, and the audience outside German institutional finance is genuinely narrow. For anyone researching the history of sustainable investing in German markets, or the early framing of ESG in insurance portfolios, it's a useful primary source.
