Top selector joins Tell Media Group as Chief Research Officer

Tell Media Group, a company dedicated to informing, connecting and advising the Nordic asset management industry since 2006, has recruited Vilhelm Hultgren to the role as Chief Research Officer. He takes on his new role on November 17.

Vilhelm Hultgren joins the company from Fondtorgsnämnden (FTN, The Swedish Fund Selection Agency) where he has been working as one of the project managers since 2023. In that role he has been overseeing the procurement process – from analysing strategy and market to producing RFP material, reviewing tenders and holding final interviews.

At Tell Media Group, Vilhelm Hultgren will be responsible for structuring and sharing our research efforts via our magazine, online platform, reports as well as at Tell Media Group events and at external events.

He will also work to maintain existing relationships, and build new ones, with companies and individuals from across the full spectrum of the Nordic industry – from fund companies and service providers to institutional investors, fund selectors and family offices.

“As we gear up to celebrate our 20-year anniversary in 2026, I’m very happy that we have been able to add Vilhelm Hultgren to our team. He will play a crucial role as we further improve on how we can inform, connect and advise companies and individuals across the full spectrum of the Nordic asset management industry,” says Niklas Tell, founder and chief content officer of Tell Media Group.

Before joining FTN in 2023 Vilhelm Hultgren worked as an investment manager, both in Sweden and in Switzerland. In Sweden he spent more than five years at Nordea as a senior investment advisor advising the banks institutional and professional clients and as a senior investment manager, maintaining and developing the non-advice investment product-offering for the bank’s clients. In Switzerland he worked as a discretionary portfolio manager for UHNWI at UBS, implementing the strategic and tactical asset allocation into individual portfolios.

Vilhelm Hultgren has a master’s degree in economics from Lund University and from HEC Lausanne. He has been selected as one of the top 40 selectors in Europe below 40 in Europe by Citywire and last year he was highlighted as fund selector of the month by RankiaPro. “I am thrilled to be able to be a part of the next steps that Tell Media Group will take and am humbled by the trust Niklas and Malin have given me. It will be intriguing to be able to talk with both investors and managers, to hear and feel the pulse of the market. Learn even more about the bits and bolts, about the needs of investors and new ideas and strategies of managers,” says Vilhelm Hultgren.
