The operation is led by Kjell Norling, Head of Institutional Clients at SEB Wealth Management.
"SEB currently has a wide product assortment with focus on alternative investments. The recent turbulence on the world's stock exchanges has led to an increased demand on alternative investments and this demand will continue to increase. We are now raising awareness of our strong presence in Northern Europe. Established within Wealth Management earlier this year, the team's first task has been to create an awareness of SEB as a leading international asset manager", Norling says.
Initially the funds SEB Asset Selection, SEB's real estate fund products, SEB European Equity Small Caps and SEB Micro Cap will be sold on the international market.
