AP Fonden 7 (AP7)

AP7, Sjunde AP-fonden (Seventh AP Fund), is the state alternative to the private investment funds offered within the Swedish premium pension system. More than four million Swedes have their premium pension placed with the AP7 Såfa fund portfolio. The mission of AP7 is to responsibly manage these funds and provide a return that is at least as good as the average of the private investment funds in the system.
