Tender for Investment Management — High Yield Credits
Första AP-fonden (AP1, the Fund) manages assets with a value of SEK 298 billion (as of June 30, 2016). AP1 is one of the buffer funds assigned by the Swedish Parliament (Riksdagen) to manage the Swedish people's pension funds. Combined with well-balanced financial risks our mission is to achieve the highest possible return on the Fund's invested assets and thereby contribute to a strong and predictable old-age pension for current and future pensioners. More information about our portfolio and how we have built up our management organisation to enable the fulfilment of the set goals is presented on our web-site:
www.ap1.se.
The Fund's assets are managed both internally and externally. A decisive factor in the choice between internal and external management is the ability to create a higher return (after management costs) compared to the established strategic benchmark. Management areas where the Fund does not possess or has difficulty in obtaining the right expertise are managed externally.
Since the Fund is a governmental institution (central level) the tender procedure is regulated in the European Procurement legal framework, primarily in Directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.
Furthermore, the Fund has a Sustainability policy that applies to the entire fund, including externally managed mandates. The complete policy document is available for download at
www.ap1.se.
The allocation to High Yield is approximately 4 % of the Fund's AuM as of 30.6.2016. The current exposure is mainly US High Yield.
The objective of this search is to broaden the universe to Global High Yield.
