Working with us
Our important mandate is fulfilled by 70 people, and each and every employee makes a difference
Major investments, international focus and societal benefits. Första AP-fonden provides an instructive and stimulating environment where you will work together with your colleagues to help provide a stable pension system and contribute to the development of society.
While the organisation is small in size, the competence of our employees is deep and the matters they deal with on a daily basis require substantial and up-to-date knowledge of what is happening in the world.
We strive to provide an inclusive workplace with equal opportunities for all, where our employees feel proud, motivated and happy and are given space to take responsibility and evolve. As an Första AP-fonden employee, you will help to create societal benefits through the development of pension capital and our efforts to integrate sustainability into our investments.
We are a comprehensive and cost-effective fund and offer the opportunity to work with a broad portfolio of assets. Whatever your role, you will come into contact with everything from Swedish industrial stocks and global hedge funds to property projects in Europe
Maintaining a global perspective
Första AP-fonden is firmly rooted in Sweden thanks to its important role for current and future pensioners. That said, the Fund is highly international, with around two-thirds of the portfolio we manage invested in foreign assets. That is why working at Första AP-fonden means that you will travel around the world every day, at least in your mind.
As an Första AP-fonden employee, you will help to create societal benefits through the development of pension capital and our efforts to integrate sustainability into our investments.
A stimulating employer
At Första AP-fonden, we want our employees to grow both professionally and as people. We focus on continuous improvement – for individuals and the organisation – in all kinds of ways. We have high ambitions and are constantly moving forward due to increased diversification of our investments, rapid technical developments and greater emphasis on sustainability. The Fund invests heavily in information systems, a key success factor for international asset managers aiming to achieve world-class standards. Technical expertise, especially in programming, is increasingly important when it comes to administration, and we are welcoming more and more staff with technical or mathematical backgrounds. As far as we are concerned, valuable cooperation and supporting one another are key success factors.
A safe and healthy working environment
Första AP-fonden maintains a long-term, preventive approach to fostering a safe and healthy workplace to help support employee development and well-being and promote a positive work-life balance. As we know that healthy employees are both happier and perform better, we care about their health and well-being and offer tailored benefits, wellness allowances and wellness hours. All employees are also offered regular health checks.
