Folksam confirms its financial strength

For a number of years and under various market conditions, we at Folksam have shown that we are able to manage risks and opportunities in asset management in order to achieve good long-term returns for our investors.

During the year, assets under management have grown by a further SEK 17 billion, amounting to SEK 285 billion at the turn of the year. The total return for 2011 is well above average for the industry and, in a five-year comparison, Folksam and KPA both end up at the very top.

“Folksam’s financial strength allow us to give our customers good long-term returns and thus secure pensions,” says Anders Sundström, Group CEO at Folksam.
