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 2023, AP4 reduced its carbon footprint by 11% and by 65% 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.

Investments with a specific focus on the climate transition are developing at a rapid rate and this year’s thematic analysis has provided AP4 with the latest knowledge and refined tools.
