The Swedish Fund Selection Agency (Fondtorgsnämnden or FTN), that oversees fund choices for Sweden’s premium pension system, has kicked off a technology equity fund procurement, inviting global asset managers to compete for mandates worth around 155 billion Swedish Krona (about $14 billion).
The goal is to channel capital into actively managed global technology funds that mainly invests in large and mid-cap companies, delivering strong, risk-adjusted returns while backing long-term innovation and sustainability.
“We want to give savers access to some of the most attractive technology funds on the market. The aim is to raise the quality of the fund platform and strengthen savers’ opportunities for good long-term returns. We hope to see considerable interest from fund managers around the world”, says Erik Fransson, executive director, Swedish Fund Selection Agency or FTN.
Launched on October 28, 2025, the procurement marks a step in the agency’s push to strengthen the range and quality of funds available in Sweden’s premium pension system — and to ensure they reflect the growing importance of technology in global markets.
