Our sustainability work
We work to create a good return for our customers while at the same time striving towards a sustainable development. We do this in several different ways. We have signed the UN Principles for Responsible Investment and are members of Swesif, Sweden's forum for sustainable investments. But the real difference is in the day-to-day asset management. We integrate environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) factors into our investment decisions and also consider negative impacts on sustainability. We work with several partners whose skills complement our own, and who share our view on the importance of sustainable investments.
Our internal ability to understand sustainability risks and how we can capture tomorrow's winners is constantly evolving. We strive to be better and show what really makes a difference.

Collaborations and analysis
- We supplement our competences with partners who share our view on responsible investments.
Our funds are divided into four categories based on their level of sustainability:
