Knowledge of premises for public services
Hemsö’s mission is to develop, own, and manage business-adapted premises for elderly care, education, the legal system, and healthcare. We offer flexibility and create environments where people thrive. With more than ten years’ experience of properties for public use, we have a good knowledge of the activities carried out in our premises and the specific requirements. By understanding and meeting our tenants’ needs, we build mutual trust that forms the basis for good, long-term customer relationships.
Our owners
Hemsö is 85 per cent owned by AP3 (The third Swedish national pension fund) and 15 per cent by Sagax. AP3 is part of the Swedish public pension system and is tasked with managing and investing pension funds to ensure a favorable return over time. Sagax is a Swedish real estate company that invests in commercial properties.
To summarise, Hemsö is largely owned by the Swedish pension fund AP3, which is an important part of the Swedish pension system. Investments in public properties help to secure the return on pension funds and create stability in the pension system in the long term.
The Swedish pension system and AP3
The Swedish pension system is divided into three parts: the national pension, the occupational pension and individual pension savings. See illustration.
The national public pension is basic and is financed by employer contributions and taxes. Occupational pensions are voluntary and based on employees agreements with their employers.
Personal savings are personal and voluntary and can take the form of various saving options, such as private pension insurance or mutual funds.
Each year, 18.5% of your pensionable income, i.e. salary and other taxable benefits, is allocated to the national public pension. The largest share, 16%, goes to the income pension. The remaining smaller part, 2.5%, goes to the premium pension.
The role of AP3
AP3, which owns 85 per cent of Hemsö, is one of the pension funds that manages the buffer in the national pension’s income pension. The AP funds AP1, AP2, AP3 and AP4 pay in money on a monthly basis to balance the incoming and outgoing pensions of today’s pensioners.
The premium pension, about 2.5 per cent of the pension provision, is part of the national public pension but differs in that individuals can choose to invest part of their pension money in different pension funds in order to receive a return on their investments.
AP3’s relations with Hemsö
AP3 is the majority shareholder in Hemsö. Through its ownership of Hemsö, AP3 receives stable long-term income from public sector properties. This strengthens AP3’s portfolio and improves the return on pension assets.
