Two new Directors have been elected to the Board of Tundra Fonder. Gunilla Carlsson, former Swedish Minister for International Development Cooperation, and Cecilia Seddigh, with more than two decades of experience in the international mutual fund and insurance industry, have joined the Board of Directors of the frontier market specialist.

Tundra Fonder’s annual general meeting of May 16 elected Gunilla Carlsson and Cecilia Seddigh to the fund manager’s Board. Gunilla Carlsson served as the Swedish Minister for International Development Cooperation 2006-2013 and was a Member of the European Parliament 1995-2002. She has also held a number of political positions, including Deputy Chairman of the Swedish Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee.
