The Fourth Swedish National Pension Fund manages about SEK 200 billion of pension assets on behalf of Swedish citizens. The Fund is one of five “buffer funds”. The Fund’s assets are invested mostly in equities and bonds.

The assignment from the Parliament of Sweden is to provide adequate funds to cover the state’s pay-as-you-earn pension commitments. The aim is to invest the capital in such a way as to provide the best long-term return for the state pension system as a whole.

Mats Andersson is the new CEO since January 1st, 2007. “I wanted us in the management team to have a common tool to enable the development of a common strategy and business plan. To accomplish this we asked Carl Filip Bergendal from Scandinavian Leadership to guide us with the help of Lots^®.”

Mats continues: “The three and a half days that the management team spent on this planning was time well invested. We are all very pleased and we feel that our high expectations were not only met but exceeded.”

At the end of the last day, the plan developed was presented to two members of the board. Birgit Friggebo, Chairman of the board and Kajsa Lindståhl, former CEO and Chairman of the board of Banco Fonder were informed of the decisions made by the management team with the help of Lots^®.
