The Swedish Pensions Agency (Pensionsmyndigheten) and the Fund Selection Agency (Fondtorgsnämnden, FTN) have announced a tender for two systems for the sustainability analysis of financial portfolios and securities.
FTN, which is in the process of reforming the premium pension system by procuring good quality funds for the system’s platform, said the Swedish Pensions Agency was running the procurement exercise on behalf of FTN, and also on its own behalf.
Nadine Viel Lamare, sustainability strategist at FTN, said two sustainability analysis systems had to be procured to meet the agency’s needs.
“The systems we are looking for must have both breadth and depth in terms of the type of sustainability analyses provided, but also have good coverage in terms of geography and type of securities that can be analysed,” she said.
The procured systems will be used to quality assure and monitor funds in the premium pension system, which currently involves some SEK2.4trn (€218bn) of assets under management, FTN said.
The systems should be standard systems to be used off-the-shelf, it said, adding that the deadline for submitting tenders is 15 April 2025.
