What Can Europe Learn from Sweden’s Investment Culture?
In the latest episode of the SSPA Podcast, Fredrik Bonthron, Chief Economist at the Swedish Securities Markets Association, discusses how Sweden has successfully encouraged broad retail participation in capital markets and what lessons other European countries can draw from its experience.

In the conversation recorded at the International Structured Products Forum (ISPF) 2026 in Interlaken, Fredrik Bonthron explains how Sweden’s Investment Savings Account (ISK) works, the importance of financial literacy and trust, and why simplicity may matter even more than tax incentives when it comes to encouraging retail investment.
