Who ATP is.
- Historical Background
- ATP, also known as the Labour Market Supplementary Pension, was established by the Danish Parliament in 1964. The fund was created to provide a supplement to the state-funded old-age pension for Danish citizens.
- Source of Capital
- ATP is a mandatory pension scheme for the citizens of Denmark. Capital is sourced from contributions made by employers and employees.
- Major Events
- In 2002, ATP conducted a strategic review that resulted in a decision to significantly increase the fund's allocation to private equity and alternative investments.
- Allocation Strategy
- ATP's investment portfolio is divided into two main sub-portfolios: a hedging portfolio that protects pension guarantees and a return-seeking portfolio that invests for upside. The investment portfolio has a diversified allocation across equities, government and mortgage bonds, inflation-linked instruments, real estate, and infrastructure. As of the end of 2023, the investment portfolio had a market value of DKK 636 billion.
