About us

An important mission

The Fourth Swedish National Pension Fund (AP4) was founded in 1974 to manage part of Sweden's public pension capital. Over time, through long-term high returns, we have strengthened the public pension system. We manage the fund capital in an exemplary manner through responsible investments and ownership. In this way, we have contributed to financial security for today's and tomorrow's Swedish pensioners.

Climate & Environment

Our view on sustainability

Climate and environment is a focus area in AP4's asset management and includes both climate change and climate transition, as well as areas such as biodiversity, resource efficiency and waste. In 2024, AP4 reduced its carbon footprint by 15% and by 70% since 2010.

If you as an investor want to take real responsibility and contribute to the climate transition in a powerful way, you must drive transition even in the most CO2-intensive parts of the economy.
