History

edit

AMF was established in 1973 as AMF Pension to provide supplementary pensions (STP) for privately employed workers in Sweden. The company was founded through a collaboration between the Swedish Employers' Association (SAF) and the Swedish Trade Union Confederation (LO).[5]

In 1992, AMF Pension became an independent entity, and by 1998, it participated in Sweden's first competitive occupational pension selection process. AMF quickly became a popular choice for occupational pensions, securing a significant share of the market.

During the 2010s, AMF focused on sustainability, reporting its efforts according to GRI G4 standards and investing in renewable energy. In 2019, AMF made notable strides in digitalization by decommissioning its mainframe technology and investing in forestry and sustainable initiatives like the Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance.

On January 1, 2022, AMF transitioned to an occupational pension company and rebranded as AMF Tjänstepension AB.[6] In 2021, AMF invested 200 million SEK in the Braathens Regional Airlines, acquiring a 19% stake.[7] In 2023, AMF celebrated its 50th anniversary, marking five decades since its establishment.
