Swedbank Robur strengthens organisation with key recruitments
Swedbank Robur is in an expansive development phase that encompasses the entire business, and recently the fund company has made several key recruitments. The ambition is to meet customer demands even more efficient and better, while strengthening both the portfolio management and customer organisation with further strategic and operational expertise.
The recruitments provide Swedbank Robur with a continuous strong platform for customer relations, portfolio management, products and services.
“We are continuing our journey towards becoming a world leader in sustainable value creation, and we are very happy and proud of all the knowledge and expertise we have within Swedbank Robur. Our latest recruitments give us further reinforcement in the form of several experienced and recognized talented employees with a deep understanding of the market and our customers' needs”, says Erik Andersson, CIO at Swedbank Robur.
With two new recruitments to the institutional sales team, the customer organisation is further strengthened. Louise Lindevall and Erik Brinck will play a significant role in the continued development of Swedbank Robur's sales vis-à-vis institutional customers, third-party distributors and external advisers. Louise Lindevall comes most recently from Alfred Berg where she has worked with consulting and fund selection. Prior to that, she worked at Carnegie Fonder for over four years. Since 2005, Erik Brinck has been part of the successful building up of institutional sales at Söderberg & Partners.
On October 1st, Swedbank Robur also welcomed Catrin Jansson as portfolio manager equity. She will manage the Swedbank Robur Transition (formerly Ethica), a fund with a strong sustainability profile that will be launched in October. Catrin has a long experience as a portfolio manager and equity analyst, and comes most recently from Enter Fonder.
In August, Henrietta Theorell also assumed her new role as portfolio manager of the Swedbank Robur Småbolagsfond Sverige. Henrietta comes most recently from SEB and has many years of experience in asset management. In recent years she has managed SEB Sverigefond and SEB Swedish Value. She has also previously managed global funds within SEB as well as sector funds such as SEB Medicines Fund and SEB Biotechnology Fund.
