AP3 contribute to the stability of the income pension system

As a manager of the Swedish public’s pension assets, AP3 works diligently with its portfolio to ensure pension disbursements, and we have achieved our 3.5% annual return target since our inception in 2001. AP3 is one of five funds tasked with helping protect the Swedish public pension system for current and future pensioners through responsible investment and management of the pension buffer.

AP3’s overarching mission is to manage the fund capital in the best interests of the income pension system by generating high returns at low risk. This allows the Fund to live up to its two core roles in the pension system: to serve as a buffer in the event of an imbalance in inflows and outflows in the system, and to help create stability in the pension system.

Asset management that makes a difference

For AP3, it is important to create long-term value both in the choice of investments and in the management of the companies in our portfolio. We have an extensive sustainability responsibility that is well integrated into our investment operations. Our sustainability responsibility involves both active corporate governance and a responsible approach to both environmental and social issues.

AP3 manages a globally diversified portfolio consisting of listed shares, interest-bearing assets and alternative investments such as unlisted shares, properties, forests and infrastructure.
