Tomas Franzen Email & Phone Number

After 35 years in various operative positions in Investment Management, I switched gears in my professional life in early 2017 and founded Franzen Advisory. For the past 15 years, I was Chief Investment Strategist at the USD 40 Bn Second Swedish National Pension Fund – AP2. As a member of the Executive Committee at AP2, I was responsible for guiding the Board of Trustees and the Senior Management Team in designing the fund’s Investment Policy since its inception in 2001. A major overhaul of AP2’s Investment Policy during these years, left the fund at the cutting edge of Institutional investing with a well-diversified portfolio across geographies, asset classes, risk factors and strategies. Before joining AP2 I had various positions as an Economist and Equity strategist with Nordic banks.​Alongside my job position at AP2, I also held a mixture of Board, Investment Committee and Advisory Board positions. I was the Chairman of Edhec-Risk Institute International Advisory Board, between 2013-2016. I am also a frequent speaker at investor meetings around the world. I was furthermore the Editor of the Anthology; A Decade of Challenges, A Collection of Essays on Pension and Investment, where I invited 30 global thought-leaders in Pension, Investment Management and Corporate Governance to share their views.​I hold a B.A. in Economics from the University of Stockholm and I am also a holder of CEFA (Certified EFFAS Financial Analyst) and the Yale SOM-Edhec-Risk Institute Certificate in Risk and Investment Management. I live with my wife in Lisbon, Portugal and the archipelago of Gothenburg, Sweden.Website: www.franzenadvisory.com
