Handelsbanken Fonder will appoint Katja Bergqvist as new chief executive for Handelsbanken’s mutual funds starting from 1 September.
Katja Bergqvist will succeed Joachim Spetz, who has decided to leave Handelsbanken.
“It is a great challenge to continue the development of our mutual funds as a competitive segment of the savings offerings provided by our branches,” says Katja Bergqvist.
“It has been a very stimulating job to lead an operation where for a long period we have had the most satisfied mutual fund customers on the market,” says Joachim Spetz. “At the same time over the past year, I have reached a personal decision – that it is time to move on.”
Katja Bergqvist has worked at Handelsbanken for 19 years, including the previous position as head of administration at Handelsbanken Fonder.
