The Swedish Fund Selection Agency and the Swedish Pensions Agency have procured new systems for sustainability analysis of funds within the premium pension system. Contracts are signed with providers MSCI ESG Research Limited and Clarity AI.
The procured systems will be used both for procurement of funds and for ongoing monitoring of funds within the premium pension system. The contracts run for three years, with an option to extend up to six years. The solutions will be implemented during January.
“This ensures the Swedish Fund Selection Agency’s access to relevant sustainability data over a longer period of time. The fact that these particular providers have been selected does not affect the agency’s positions on individual sustainability issues; the systems are used solely as input for information gathering and analysis,” says Erik Fransson, Executive Director of the Swedish Fund Selection Agency.
