The Swedish Fund Selection Agency is a board authority (sw. nämndmyndighet) that is governed by a board of seven members. The Swedish Pensions Agency serves as host agency for the Swedish Fund Selection Agency, which entails providing administrative services.
The Swedish Fund Selection Agency further consists of an administrative office which is responsible for all the operational tasks. When this office is fully staffed, it will consist of approximately 30-35 employees. The office manages the day-to-day administrative activities as well as all practical matters regarding the procurement of the funds. Erik Fransson is Executive Director of the office.
The procurements for which the Board is responsible are to be conducted professionally and on an independent basis. Further, these procurements will ensure that the pension savers gain a substantial range of options while ensuring that fund managers and funds can be reviewed in a reliable and cost-efficient manner.
The Board will also be responsible for the funds currently on the platform.
