Swedish pension fund KPA Pension returned 6.3 per cent on its investments in the first half of 2026, up from 1.8 per cent in H1 2025, its half-year results report has shown.

The pension fund’s assets under management (AUM) rose from SEK 354bn at the end of H1 2026 to SEK 411bn, while its solvency ratio increased from 248 per cent to 271 per cent over the same period.

Its return on its defined contribution pre-selection product was 7.5 per cent in the first half of the year, while its defined benefit insurance returned 4.6 per cent.

KPA Pension said it had delivered a strong return despite the first half of 2026 being marked by geopolitical uncertainty and movements in the financial markets.

“Our mission is to provide our customers with a secure and long-term good pension,” commented KPA Pension CEO, Camilla Larsson.

“The first half of the year shows that we have a robust business with a strong financial position that makes it possible to create value for customers even in an uncertain environment.

“Our strong financial position creates security for customers and gives us the opportunity to continue investing long-term for both good returns and sustainable social development.”
