ATP’s results for Q1 2013 in DKK million
Results compared with the target for 2013
The ATP Board of Directors has set the long-term target that, over time, hedging and investment-activity results must be sufficient to ensure that pensions are revalued in line with the Retail Price Index (RPI). The goal is laid down independently of the development on the financial markets and thus the opportunities for achieving returns. The performance target is based on the expected rate of inflation and a premium of one per cent, and for 2013 it is set at DKK 13.0bn.
The overall hedging and investment-activity results is considered satisfactory in the light of the challenging market conditions.
