Infrastructure

Contributing to a sustainable development in the society

Within infrastructure, AP3 invests in listed and unlisted funds as well as through direct investments. Infrastructure investments fit well with AP3’s long-term mission and the amendments to the National Pension Insurance Funds Act allow for increased investment in unlisted assets that boosts AP3’s scope to invest in infrastructure.

AP3’s infrastructure investments

As is the case for real estate, infrastructure are illiquid assets tailored to specific operating activities. Infrastructure assets are a key pillar of sustainable social development; these are physical assets whose return and value are linked to inflation and has high potential for a stable return.

In Sweden, AP3 focuses on direct investments, while international investments are through both infrastructure funds and direct investments. The largest holding is the electricity distribution company Ellevio, acquired by a consortium of AP1, AP3, Folksam and a Canadian pension fund. In addition to Ellevio, the infrastructure portfolio also includes investments in social infrastructure, water treatment, transport and renewable energy sources.
