ICPM is thrilled to welcome AP7 to the network. AP7 is the default fund for the funded part of the Swedish public pension scheme. With US$190 billion in assets under management and 6 million members, AP7 is Sweden’s largest and fastest-growing pension fund. 

“We wholeheartedly welcome AP7 as our newest member fund, which brings an important Swedish perspective to the ICPM global network,” says Sebastien Betermier, Executive Director of ICPM. “Sweden has built one of the world’s most innovative pension systems, and AP7 is leading the way with investment strategies we can learn from.”

Pål Bergström, CEO of AP7, adds: “We truly look forward to joining the ICPM network. Based on our historical interaction with individual ICPM members, it is evident that we can learn and gain a lot from open and generous knowledge sharing. Joining the network will no doubt be even more rewarding, and we will do our best to share our experiences and interact with all members going forward.”

The ICPM network now comprises 55 pension funds globally, with AP7 as the only member fund in Sweden.
