In the Swedish Fund Selection Agency's procurement process for the new fund platform for the premium pension system, two small-cap funds from Swedbank Robur have been selected: Swedbank Robur Small Cap Fund Sweden and Swedbank Robur Small Cap Europe. This means that Swedbank Robur has ten funds on the fund platform.
"That our funds have been selected shows that our offering stands up well in the competition, where a large number of funds participated in the procurement process. We have been part of the premium pension system since the start and are proud of the trust placed in us to continue creating long-term value for savers", says Liza Jonson, CEO of Swedbank Robur.
The premium pension system was launched in 1999 and has contributed to higher returns and better risk diversification within the Swedish pension system, where savers can choose funds themselves via the fund platform. The Fund Selection Agency is responsible for the procurement process, and selected funds undergo a comprehensive quality review.
Approximately 30 percent of the selectable Swedish fund assets had previously been invested in one of the funds that Swedbank Robur has had within the premium pension system.
