Net worth increased by SEK 718 billion to SEK 25,342 billion, while total assets increased by SEK 757 billion to SEK 30,783 billion, SEB writes in a press release.
The record is due to assets growing faster than liabilities, according to SEB. This is mainly due to households' equity assets, which accounted for 60 percent of the increase in value. Fund shares also increased at the highest quarterly growth rate since 1999.
The increase is attributed, among other things, to the recovery of the American stock market.
"Swedes are a fund-saving people with a large exposure to the American stock market and thus had a comprehensive and direct impact," says SEB's private economist Américo Fernández.
