“Good returns are the most important way for us to help reduce the pension costs to our customers. After three quarters, we have surplus returns to our customers of over NOK 40 billion. This is a very pleasing result,” says CEO Sverre Thornes.

Digital investment in pensions

On 1 January 2025, new pension rules will come into effect for employees with public-sector occupational pensions.

“KLP has been working on new digital solutions for several years, so we are ready for this change. Our solutions are already enabling both employers and their employees to obtain reliable and simple information, and make informed choices about their own pensions,” says Thornes.

New climate-friendly investments

An important way for us to contribute to the green transition is to increase climate-friendly investments. So far this year, these investments have increased by 14 billion NOK, of which 4.5 billion NOK in the third quarter. At the end of the third quarter, climate-friendly investments accounted for 12.5 percent of KLP's financial assets.
