Sweden's Alecta Sees Returns Decline in Flagship Optimal Fund
Swedish pension group Alecta saw full-year returns at its flagship fund decline by nearly two percentage points in 2024, weighed down by the relative underperformance of its fixed income and alternative asset portfolios. The Optimal defined contribution pension fund delivered returns of 6.8% over the course of 2024 compared to 8.7% a year earlier, the group said in a statement on Monday. Annual returns on its equity portfolio totaled 9.6% while interest-bearing assets and alternatives came in at 1.3% and 5.1%, respectively.
