A trusted partner in the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) market, making responsible long-term investments to create sustainable value in the communities we invest in
Queenspoint is a long term investment vehicle and asset manager which acquires, holds and actively operates middle market core infrastructure assets -in fields such as transport, energy, telecommunications, waste, water and others- largely under PPP contractual and risk allocation structures.

ATP is a mandatory savings scheme with more than five million members, and holds a 50% stake in Queenspoint.
ATP's primary responsibility is to help ensure basic financial security and contribute to efficient welfare. To that end, ATP seeks to maximise investment returns for the benefit of pensioners receiving ATP Livslang Pension (Lifelong Pension).
ATP Lifelong Pension is guaranteed and lifelong and is disbursed to nearly all Danish pensioners. For 50 per cent of all old-age pensioners, ATP Lifelong Pension is their only source of pension income other than their state-funded old-age pension.
Besides ATP Lifelong Pension, ATP administers key welfare benefits and schemes on behalf of the Danish state, the local authorities in Denmark and Danish social partners. ATP is the largest administration provider in the Nordic countries, managing two thirds of welfare benefits disbursed in Denmark.
ATP Pensions & Investments manages ATP’s assets of more than DKK 753bn, which are invested in, for example, bonds, equities, real estate and infrastructure. Pension & Investments do this to ensure the highest pension benefits attainable, while avoiding needless risks.
ATP’s free reserves – the bonus potential – are managed in the investment portfolio, which is the basis for ATP taking on investment risk in the investment portfolio.
Return on ATP's investment is important, but it does not mean that ATP value return over social responsibility. On the contrary, responsibility is usually the precondition for long-term, healthy earnings.
ATP emphasise great importance acting as a responsible investor. Therefore, ATP invests only in companies that comply with national legislation and international conventions.
