The designers statement
If you put a single color on the logo, you'll see the initials FTAM which are faint but very sensible.
FTAM is FT Asset Management, the perfect logo for corporate purposes as well as a strong corporate identity.
So it can be interpreted that FTAM + Gold Asset + Swedish identity = a strong identity logo for your company
The FT symbol in gold forms the symbol "G = Gold" and the faint shape with the letter A as "A = Asset"
so the symbol of FT = Gold asset
