The pension authority: "You can consider whether to recommend private individuals to save in mutual funds"

On Friday, the Pensions Authority filed an appeal against the free judgment in the so-called Allra case.

- It was a disappointment. We thought we had a strong case. Obviously, the district court did not share that assessment, says Daniel Barr.

In the DN debate, he writes that the requirements for the individual saver's ability to assess the reliability of the fund companies will be unreasonably high.

The district court ruling that freed the fund company Allra can be interpreted as that the fund company can utilize the funds of the savers in addition to the fund fees, says General Director Daniel Barr.

- It is worrying on principle if these types of transactions are allowed. The savers have no opportunity to predict in advance whether a fund company will make these types of transactions, he tells SVT and continues:

- Then you can think about whether to even recommend private individuals to save in mutual funds.

In funds at all?

- In funds at all. This has consequences for us in the premium pension system. This has consequences for occupational pension systems and for private pension savings. But also for savers outside the pension system.

Isn't it your job to make sure that the funds in the fund square are accurate and correct?

- You can think that.

- From the beginning, the system was designed so that if you had permission to conduct fund operations, you had permission to join the fund square as well. Now we have been given greater opportunities to control the funds in advance.
