Denmark

Several of the country’s major pension funds were singled out for improper risk management and valuation methods.

ATP said that its $6.7bn TDC acquisition is safe, but further involvement with the group is paused pending questions they ‘need to have answered’ amid claims of dividend trading, denied by Macquarie.

The new vehicle is targeted at Danish investors just below the ranks of the country’s large pension schemes and is backed by Sampension as liquidity provider.

Anette Eberhard, who will oversee private equity at the alternatives manager of the Danish pension, talks about the team's expansion plans, new mandates and direct investments.

By splitting its alternatives arm, the Danish pension will also start investing on behalf of other institutional investors, effectively taking on the role of asset manager.
