AP3, the third of the four buffer funds in the Swedish state pension system, outperformed its peers AP2 and AP4 last year, despite what its chief executive referred to as a sharp rise in market risks in the last six months.

The fund returned 5% after costs, taking total assets to Skr225bn (€24.1bn).
