As part of the sales agreement, Danica Pension Sweden changed its name to Futur Pension on February 10, 2020. The Danica Pension brand will remain within the Danske Bank Group in the rest of the Nordic countries.
Customers don’t have to do anything at all. The change of name and ownership has no bearing on existing agreements or terms and conditions. And Futur (formerly Danica) Pension’s close working relationship with Danske Bank, brokers and other partners will continue to at least the same extent as previously.
Futur (formerly Danica) Pension was acquired by Polaris together with Acathia Capital. Polaris is a Danish-Swedish private equity firm headquartered in Copenhagen which invests in medium sized companies in the Nordic countries. Polaris has been operating since 1998. Acathia Capital specialises in investments in Europe’s financial sectors and has experience from 14 years of working in the industry.
Danica Pension Sweden was a Swedish company purely acting on the Swedish market. As part of the Danske Bank Group, Danica Pension also operates its own companies in Denmark and in Norway. However, the Swedish market differs from the markets in Denmark and Norway. The sale allows Danske Bank to focus its pension operations on the markets in Denmark and Norway, while at the same time gaining a quality partner with its own focus on the Swedish market.
Futur (formerly Danica) Pension Sweden, has strong premium growth and a stable product platform. But Futur (formerly Danica) Pension Sweden has a different business model compared to its counterparts in Denmark and Norway, so once a deal that ensured a continued positive working relationship was attainable, the conclusion was that this solution would not only benefit sellers and buyers but also the customers.
No, Danske Bank will be working closely with Futur Pension to thereby safeguard the continued supply and development of pension solutions to Danske Bank’s Swedish customers.
Futur (formerly Danica) Pension today has more than 70 employees all of which will be part of the new company.
Futur (formerly Danica) Pension Sweden has around 180,000 private customers and 15,000 corporate customers. For these customers this means new owners capable of putting additional resources behind the development of the company and the pension solutions that customers are already satisfied with today. The sale is going ahead because we see it as a solution that will benefit customers. As part of the agreement, Futur (formerly Danica) Pension Sweden and Danske Bank will be entering into a collaboration agreement on continued close cooperation concerning product offering and the development of new solutions for customers.
Danske Bank will continue to offer the same savings and pension products, and we have guaranteed that the partnership will continue in a favourable manner even after the sale. The new owners will be able to take the platform to the next level, ensuring the bank enjoys an even better environment for offering advice and solutions to customers.
