Christian Lundström Tjurhufvud, who until recently headed the largest Nordic fund platform's selection unit, recollects about a job handling everything from fraud and irresponsible companies to responding to pressure from domestic fund managers – and many hard feelings from some of the world's largest asset managers. He now embarks on a new journey as CIO of a regional authority's pension pot.
