"This procurement plan reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and to offering a broad, high-quality fund selection for Sweden’s premium pension savers.

FTN’s structured and transparent procurement process continues to play an important role in strengthening the Swedish premium pension system, ensuring participants have access to high-quality, well-managed funds aligned with long-term sustainability principles.*
