Job Description

At abrdn we empower our clients to plan, save and invest for their futures.

Through the expertise, insight and innovation of our team, we aim to help clients create more ways for money to make an impact. We set our sights on giving them more confidence to achieve their goals, and more clarity about what they need next. And we focus on delivering outcomes that are more than just financial – by investing sustainably to build a better world.

The Nordic Business Development team covers the business of abrdn in the Nordics (Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, and Iceland) and through an in-depth knowledge of markets, client interest and investment products, they engage a diversity of clients, bankers, and product providers to raise awareness of abrdn's investment capabilities and potential.

The team consists of sales professionals based in Copenhagen and Stockholm who are each provided with an allocated portfolio of clients but an overlapping responsibility for clients and markets/asset classes will also be a focus for the team.

All Nordic clients are professional and therefore we don't have a split between institutional and wholesale investors. The sales team in the Nordics are responsible for creating new opportunities and developing existing relationships with clients and promoting abrdn as an Investment House with both liquid and illiquid asset classes. Experience in the Institutional and knowledge about the wholesale market is of key importance.

The key customers of the region are predominantly external clients; however, internally, the role holder must foster and develop relationships with other parts of the sales operations around the world, as well as the other support functions in the business.

The successful candidate will be based in our Stockholm office and will report into the Head of Distribution, Nordics. There will be flexible options of working from the office and from home along with business travel to other offices within the EMEA and UK region as required.

Key Responsibilities
  • Understand the investment strategies and plans in the client portfolio and drive the contacts and sales process.
  • Stay updated on the development in the Nordic market and share insights with the team.
  • Maintain contact with all relevant people within the investment client portfolio teams, including liquid and illiquid assets.
  • Focus on new prospects in the markets and set up introduction meetings.
  • Promote abrdn as an Investment House, including setting up meetings and supporting our Fund Managers visiting the Nordics.
  • Support abrdn in their drive for new business and successfully raise assets.
  • Possess an excellent working knowledge of investment matters and asset classes including Fixed Income, Equities, Infrastructure, Private Debt, and Real Estate.
  • Carry out project work to support the Nordic business lines.
  • Help deliver the key outcomes set out in the business plan and support the Nordic sales targets while actively contributing to the wider European business plan.
  • Acquire detailed knowledge of fund structures and systems pertaining to the relevant product lines to successfully raise assets and contribute to new investment solutions.
  • Understand fund regulations and compliance issues.
Core Knowledge
  • Key knowledge of the Swedish market and some knowledge of Finnish markets.
  • Knowledge of overall investment markets and relevant products in the Nordic countries.
  • A good working knowledge of the legal and regulatory provisions associated with the role.
Candidate Requirements
  • Fluent in Swedish and English (essential).
  • Identify and pursue new business opportunities, including generating new sales within assigned market segments.
  • Self-driven, energetic, and engaged.
  • A natural interest in supporting team members and playing the "Devil's Advocate" when necessary.
  • Ideally hold a Swedish or equivalent European economic or investment qualification.
  • Excellent internal and external communication skills.
  • Develop and implement innovative business strategies to drive growth and expand market reach.
  • Build and maintain strategic partnerships with key stakeholders, including potential clients and industry leaders.
  • Conduct market research and analysis to identify future trends and opportunities.
