Sara Lindblad

I could not verify the stub claim that Sara Lindblad is currently Chief Financial Officer, an angel investor, or affiliated with seed investing. Equmeniakyrkan’s current public staff directory does not list a Sara Lindblad; it lists Hans Hägg as “Ekonomichef” and gives no public Sara Lindblad staff entry.

Equmeniakyrkan, known in English as the Uniting Church in Sweden, describes itself as a church formed in 2011 by the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden, the Baptist Union of Sweden, and the Methodist Church in Sweden. Its English-language information page says it has almost 600 congregations and works in areas including migration, human rights, peace, sustainability, climate, and international mission.

The only verified investment-related material connected to the firm is institutional treasury/endowment-style capital management. Equmeniakyrkan’s capital-placement policy says the church manages economic assets including securities and properties to support pension obligations, restricted funds, and the church’s long-term work in Sweden and internationally.

• No public source verified Sara Lindblad as an angel investor, seed investor, or startup backer.
• Equmeniakyrkan’s published policy is institutional and values-based rather than venture-focused: it says the capital-placement policy defines “ethical guidelines, return targets and risk tolerance, investment strategy, organization and division of responsibility, risk management and other investment restrictions, and follow-up/reporting.”
• The policy states that long-term assets have an investment horizon of ten years or longer.
• The policy targets a real net return of 2.0% per year across long-term assets and 3.5% per year for the securities portfolio.
• The policy limits long-term-asset allocation to 0–60% equities and 0–25% alternative investments; within the securities portfolio, equities may be 0–85% and alternatives 0–35%.
• Ethical exclusions include companies with more than 5% of turnover from alcohol products, pornography, tobacco, weapons, commercial gambling, or fossil-energy extraction.
• The policy states that the CFO/economy chief is responsible for liquidity management of operating capital, while the church board and investment council govern securities portfolio policy and decisions.
