Stockholm (NordSIP) – This week, the Swedish Pensions Agency (Pensionsmyndigheten) together with the Swedish Fund Selection Agency (Fondtorgsnämnden) (FTN), announced the procurement of two standard systems to be used off-the-shelf for sustainability analysis of financial portfolios and securities.
The deadline for submitting tenders in the procurement is 15 April 2025.
“To meet FTN’s needs, we need to procure two sustainability analysis systems. The systems we are looking for must have both breadth and depth in terms of the type of sustainability analyses provided, but also have good coverage in terms of geography and type of securities that can be analysed,” says Nadine Viel Lamare (Pictured), FTN’s Sustainability Strategist.
The sustainability analysis systems that the two Swedish agencies are seeking to procure will be used to ensure that minimum sustainability requirements and sustainability commitments made by fund managers are met by the funds in the Swedish premium pension system which currently has approximately SEK2400 billion (€200billion) in assets under management.
FTN is responsible for procuring, monitoring, and quality-assuring the funds in the Swedish premium pension system, and to cater for a safer and higher pension for the Swedish pension savers. According to Swedish law, the funds selected by FTN must be sustainable and fulfil minimum criteria for sustainability.
The procured systems for sustainability analysis will be used to quality assure and monitor the funds in the Swedish premium pension system, which currently amounts to approximately SEK 2400 billion in assets under management.
Tenders for this request for proposals are to be submitted through the procurement platform e-Avrop – Pensionsmyndigheten. A profile in e-Avrop is needed to submit tenders.
