A veteran of the Swedish fund management industry, who spent 17 years at Alfred Berg, ABN Amro and latterly Fortis, has resurfaced at the state fund AP2 as its new chief investment officer.

Hans Fahlin was chief executive of Alfred Berg Asset Management before its incorporation into Dutch bank ABN Amro and he stayed with the group through the merger of its fund management operations, including the Swedish arm, into Fortis Investments. By 2008 he was lined up as head of the Nordic region for Fortis, and global head of pension funds.
