AP3, or the Third Swedish National Pension Fund, is one of five buffer funds in Sweden's income pension system. Established in 2001, its mandate is to manage a portion of the state's pension capital to help stabilise the pension system. The fund pursues this objective through responsible, long-term investment on a global scale, operating from its base in Stockholm.
As a knowledge-intensive organisation, AP3 integrates sustainability principles directly into its investment approach. It acts as an engaged and responsible owner in the companies and assets within its portfolio, aligning financial objectives with broader environmental and social considerations. This dual focus on financial stewardship and responsible ownership defines its operating philosophy.
