The nomination committee of Swedish pension company Alecta elected Magnus Hall as chairman of the board of Alecta Occupational Pension at its annual general meeting on 8 May 2025.

This decision comes after Hall’s name was first mooted for the role in early February 2025, having also received regulatory approval from Sweden's Finansinspektionen later that month.

Following this, the nomination committee confirmed its intention to appoint Hall as chair at the end of last month (April).

This appointment ends the 18-month struggle to find a permanent chair, following the resignation of Ingrid Bonde in October 2023 amid two investigations by Sweden’s Financial Supervisory Authority over the pension company’s investments.

In addition to Hall’s appointment, eight people were re-elected to the board of directors, and two were elected.

Marcus Dahlsten, Markus Granlund, Elisabeth Sasse, Björn Oxhammar, Bo Kratz, Heléne Robson, Hans Fahlin and Viveka Strangert were re-elected, while Hillevi Agranius and Jesper Andersson were elected to the board of directors for the first time.

Jan-Olof Jacke, who, in his capacity as first deputy chairman, took over as chairman of the board in March 2024, following the resignation of Carina Åkerström, has been elected as Alecta's General Council chairman.

Meanwhile, Peter Hellberg was elected vice chairman of Alecta's General Council, and Cecilia Lager, Suzanne Sandler, Elisabeth Arbin and Andreas Miller were elected to the Nomination Committee.

All appointments are valid until the 2026 ordinary council meeting.

The annual general meeting also approved a formal decision to adjust the remuneration model for board fees to use special hedging funds. In addition to this, the board of directors and the CEO were discharged from liability.
