Richard Gröttheim served as CEO of Sweden’s default pension fund for 12 years before retiring in May of last year, marking the end of his 23-year tenure in AP7’s senior management. Gröttheim has been at AP7 since the pension fund began operations in 2000, initially serving as Executive Vice President for over a decade before being appointed CEO in October 2010. Prior to joining AP7, he spent six and a half years as the Head of the Monetary and Foreign Exchange Policy Department at Riksbank.
Gröttheim joins SilverDome’s Advisory Board and will collaborate with existing advisors Hans Danielsson and Dr. Andrew Gray. “The combination of their collective knowledge and diverse backgrounds will provide invaluable insights as we navigate the landscape of asset management,” states Thörn. “With an impressive career spanning over 30 years, Richard brings a wealth of experience and expertise that will undoubtedly strengthen our strategic initiatives and contribute to our ongoing commitment to excellence.”
