Erik Penser

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erik Penser (August 22, 1942 in Eslöv, Skåne) is a Swedish businessman. After the collapse of his financial empire, which included Carnegie, in the early 1990s, he fought a bitter legal feud with what later became Nordea which had repossessed much of his wealth and holdings. His current company Erik Penser Fondkommission, which runs mutual funds and of which Penser is Chairman, was severely criticised by the Swedish equivalent of the SEC in 2006 and came near to having its licence revoked. However, major changes in the company structure has now made Erik Penser Fondkommission one of the most trusted on the Swedish market.
