Stockholm (HedgeNordic) – Multi-fund investment boutique Atlant Fonder has appointed Peter Beckman as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) effective at the start of the year. This follows Michael Ekelund’s decision to step back at the age of 66 after nearly a decade in the role. Ekelund has transitioned to a 60 percent part-time role, taking over Beckman’s former role as deputy CEO and marketing manager.

Peter Beckman has served as Atlant Fonder’s deputy CEO and sustainability officer since the boutique acquired Pacific Fonder in 2019, where he had been CEO for two years. His extensive experience includes roles as deputy CEO at SPP Fonder and CEO of Storebrand Asset Management’s Swedish branch. Beckman officially took on the role of CEO at Atlant Fonder on January 1, 2025. As part of this leadership transition, Atlant Fonder’s headquarters will relocate from Lund to Stockholm in 2025, although the boutique has maintained offices in Stockholm and Östersund for years.

“It feels very inspiring to continue playing an even larger role in Atlant Fonder’s future journey.”

“It feels very inspiring to continue playing an even larger role in Atlant Fonder’s future journey,” says incoming CEO Peter Beckman. “In recent years, assets under management have doubled and returns have been very strong,” he adds. As of the end of last year, Atlant Fonder oversees SEK 9.4 billion (approximately €820 million) in assets under management, more than double the SEK 4.7 billion managed at the end of 2020. “We aim to strengthen our position as a capital preservation building block in our clients’ portfolios, with a clear ambition to deliver returns that stand among the best in their respective risk classes,” says Beckman.

Atlant Fonder is an independent Swedish asset management firm specializing in the active management of alternative funds. Their diverse range of funds covers a variety of strategies and investment instruments, including equity, fixed income, and credit derivatives, all aimed at delivering strong risk-adjusted returns. The firm’s investment approach integrates active management with derivative strategies to both mitigate risk and enhance returns.
