AP4
Sweden
AP4 was originally established in 1974 to manage part of Sweden’s public pension capital. At the time AP4 mainly invested in Swedish equities, but since the start of the new pension system in 2001, its investment assignment has broadened, and today AP4 invests in equities as well as in fixed income assets, both in Sweden and abroad. AP4 also invests in unlisted assets, such as property companies and infrastructure companies
