Stockholm (HedgeNordic) – Swedish CTA specialist RPM Risk & Portfolio Management has appointed Per Ivarsson, the firm’s Head of Investment Management, as its new CEO. Ivarsson succeeds founder Mikael Stenbom, who has decided to step down from the role.

Per Ivarsson has spent over 20 years at RPM in various roles, including key positions in IT, Operations, and Investment Management. As of January 1, 2025, he transitioned from his role as Head of Investment Management to Chief Executive Officer. “Per’s deep understanding of RPM’s business, combined with his extensive experience, positions him well to lead RPM into its next phase of growth and innovation,” says Mikael Stenbom.

As always, we’re committed to delivering value and innovation to our clients.”
