Thanks to sound investments, favourable returns and a high level of integrity, Swedbank Robur has today become one of the largest fund managers in the Nordic region. Although much has changed over the years, our vision remains the same – to offer products that improve the economic security and freedom of our customers.

At year-end 2006, Morningstar rated Swedbank Robur as the sixth-best equity fund manager over a three-year period among the 50 largest asset managers in Europe. And Lipper, the Reuters subsidiary, voted Swedbank Robur best overall Nordic asset manager. This track record has attracted a growing list of demanding institutional accounts outside the region. Today, Swedbank Robur manage portfolios consisting of equity and fixed-income funds, insurance-linked products, pension funds and discretionary accounts.
