As a savings platform, the firm administrates assets in the form of unit-linked insurance policies with some €19bn in assets under administration in 2021.

Furthermore, according to Acathia, end-to-end digitalisation gives Futur Pension a competitive advantage in terms of customer satisfaction, cost efficiency and time-to-market. 

Futur Pension CEO Torgny Johanson said: “We are looking forward to leverage the great potential of FuturPension to further increase premium volume, assets under administration and profit in close partnership with our owners.”

Acathia Capital managing partner Thomas Schmitt said: “Futur Pension has increased its market share from 7% to over 11% of premium volume since we have become owners in 2019, making it market leader in Sweden.”
