About AP4

AP4 was established in 1974 to manage part of Sweden’s public pension capital.

AP4 is a government agency and its mission is governed by the Swedish National Pension Funds Act (Lagen (2000:192) om allmänna pensionsfonder).

In the Swedish public pension system, AP4 manages part of the pension system's buffer capital in order to strengthen the pension system with a long-term high return and thereby contribute to financial security for today's and tomorrow's Swedish pensioners.  

In addition to managing the capital so that long-term high returns are achieved – the law states that we must manage the fund capital in an exemplary manner through responsible investments and responsible ownership.

Our fund capital inlcudes listed shares, both global and Swedish, constituting more than half of the assets. We also invest in Swedish and global fixed income investments as well as real assets. Our work continously receives attention in several different contexts, both in Sweden and internationally.
