Futur
(2019)

Stockholm Schweden Panorama

Futur (formerly Danica Pension Försäkrings AB) is the market-leading Swedish savings platform based on AuM with a capital-light and self-financing business model. Futur holds a life insurance license with which Futur exclusively provides unit-linked life insurance policies and pensions to private and corporate clients.

The company is end-to-end digitalized including a fully digitalized client interaction on their cloud-based IT infrastructure. The proprietary and state-of-the-art IT infrastructure enables Futur to manage its AuM at an unrivalled administration cost ratio of 0.3% of premiums (more than 10x better than the market average), making it the cost leader in Sweden. The excellent IT infrastructure enables Futur to strongly grow in AuM at almost unchanged administration costs, expanding the unreachable competitive cost advantage every year by default, and resulting in an unlimited scalability of Futur's business.

In the past, Futur exhibited an extraordinary growth journey and grew exponentially by an average of 24% and 28% p.a. since 2012 in AuM and premiums. As a result, Futur became a top 3 player in the Swedish life insurance market.

​

Since Acathia´s investment in 2019, AuM have grown by +167% to SEK +210bn (€20bn). We continue to support the management in implementing its successful growth strategy in a spirit of partnership together with our investment partner Polaris Private Equity. For this investment, Acathia acts as lead investor through the investment vehicle Viking Life SCS, which is backed by German insurers and pension funds.
