AP3 selects market data provider

AP3, the third Swedish national pension fund, has selected SuperDerivatives to provide data for investment analysis and valuation.

The company will offer its DataX service to provide independent market data for cash and derivative products for currencies, equities, interest rates, credit, energy, commodities and bonds.

AP3 will also be using DGX, SuperDerivatives’ real-time market data, news and analysis terminal.

The fund’s chief risk officer Mattias Bylund said accurate market data is vital to AP3 making informed trading decisions and precise valuations.

“SuperDerivatives provides the best guarantee of this, with its history of supplying quality market data for over a decade across a range of financial products and markets.”

AP3 manages a diversified global portfolio of listed equities, fixed income assets, and alternative investments. Alternative investments consist of private equity, real estate, timberland, infrastructure assets and new strategies.

It is a state-owned pension fund with a government-appointed board of directors. The board has sole responsibility for the fund’s operations, and Sweden’s national pension funds are regulated solely by legislation rather than government directives.
