SEB Pension och Försäkring

SEB Pension does not publicly name a standalone CIO for the pension entity. Portfolio management is executed by SEB Investment Management AB, the internal asset manager within the SEB Group, which is responsible for allocating the pension fund's capital across public and private markets. The pension fund’s board and investment committee oversee governance within the SEB Life and Pension Holding AB structure.

SEB Pension och Försäkring is not a standalone legal entity in the sense of an independent foundation or trust. It operates as a business unit under SEB Life and Pension Holding AB, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the publicly listed Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (SEB Group). This means the pension pool's capital and governance are fully integrated into the larger banking group's balance sheet and risk framework.

The pension fund uses SEB Investment Management AB as its primary internal allocator, which deploys capital through a mix of direct holdings, fund commitments, co-investments, and secondaries across asset classes including venture, growth, buyout, distressed debt, and mezzanine. This suggests a hybrid model where the fund commits to both internal and external vehicles while retaining direct balance-sheet exposure to equities, debt securities, and real estate.

Yes. The entity's reported strategy tags — collected from regulatory filings and group-level disclosures — list venture capital (seed, start-up, early stage), growth equity, buyout, distressed debt, mezzanine, secondaries, and co-investment. SEB Investment Management AB is the vehicle through which this private markets exposure is typically accessed, rather than a standalone PE unit within the pension fund.

SEB Pension holds direct property assets in Sweden and across the Baltic states. Named entities in its property portfolio include Fastighetsaktiebolaget Meteor (commercial, Sweden) and HB Släggan 3 (mixed-use, Sweden), as well as the Baltic Real Estate Portfolio spanning Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. These direct interests are supplemented by any indirect property exposure through fund commitments.

SEB Pension is a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and participates in Climate Action 100+, the investor-led initiative targeting corporate greenhouse gas emitters. The SEB Group, as parent, engages through the European Banking Federation, the Swedish Bankers' Association, and UNEP FI. The pension fund's PRI reporting obligations are folded into the wider SEB Group sustainability framework.

Gamla Livförsäkringsaktiebolaget SEB Trygg Liv is a related life insurance entity that operates under mutual principles within the SEB Group ecosystem. It appears as a co-investor alongside SEB Pension in certain real estate and other long-dated assets, reflecting the common Nordic practice of aligning insurance and pension capital pools under shared group management. Both entities ultimately fall under the SEB Life and Pension Holding AB umbrella.
