Stockholm (HedgeNordic) – After an extensive career in fund management, fixed-income specialist Fredrik Tauson has joined Swedish occupational pension provider AMF as a senior portfolio manager. Formerly a co-founder and portfolio manager at the hedge fund boutique Nordic Cross, Tauson will now oversee AMF’s credit portfolio, working closely with its broader fixed-income team.

“I am impressed by AMF’s stable, long-term returns and their professionalism as an asset manager,” says Fredrik Tauson, sharing his thoughts on joining AMF. The pension provider manages over SEK 800 billion in assets, with about 13 percent allocated to credit bonds. “This is an exciting mandate and I look forward to being able to act more long-term with the credit investments compared to a typical daily-traded credit fund,” he adds, noting that the role gives him the opportunity “to act tactically and opportunistically from time to time.”

Tauson began his career in the early 2000s at Nordea before transitioning to Öhman Fondkommission in 2007, where he served as a senior credit analyst for three years. He later joined the then-called Catella Fonder as a fixed-income portfolio manager, a role he held for approximately seven years. During his tenure at Catella, Tauson worked on both fixed-income-focused vehicles and managed the fixed-income component of the renowned multi-strategy hedge fund, Catella Hedgefond. In 2016, he co-founded the hedge fund boutique Nordic Cross alongside former colleagues from Catella.

After six years at Nordic Cross, Tauson transitioned to Coeli in late 2022 as a portfolio manager, following Carnegie Fonder’s takeover of the Nordic Cross funds. After two years managing Coeli’s fixed-income products, he has now shifted to the allocator side, taking on the role of senior portfolio manager at AMF.
