The insurer Old Mutual plans to cut 100 jobs at the headquarters of its subsidiairy Skandia in Stockholm. According to Julian Roberts, CEO of Skandia, some activities do not need to be carried out in Stockholm as a result of the integration of Skandia within Old Mutual. Skandia currently employs some 1,700 people in Sweden.
