Första AP-fonden (AP1) manages part of the capital in Sweden’s national income pension system. The long-term return should be at least 4 per cent.
Our assets of SEK 338 billion are distributed across a global portfolio consisting of equities, fixed-income securities, real estate, infrastructure, private equity funds and hedge funds.
We invest sustainably and long-term, and practise responsible ownership.
Arabesque S-Ray® and AP1 are working closely together to develop a sustainability score assessing the compliance of companies with Human Rights.

Net investment income of SEK 8.5 billion for the first six months of 2018 means that AP1’s return exceeds the long-term target of 4.0 per cent. Net assets increased to SEK 338 billion.
Första AP-fonden’s range of investments is governed by the National Pension Insurance Funds (AP Funds) Act. A change in the law is expected to improve the ability to act in pensioners’ best interests.
