Investment strategy

Collaborating for long-term value creation

We take a hands-on approach to helping our partners realise the full potential of their business, while always respecting their majority ownership.

Our ideal partner profile

We focus on medium-sized Scandinavian business-to-business companies with market-leading positions in growth industries.

Investment sweet spot

We typically enter into our partnerships with an initial investment of DKK 250 million to DKK 1 billion for a minority ownership share of 25-50%. We can either provide new share capital into the company to support investments in growth, or acquire existing shares from the current shareholder base.

Investment horizon

We have a flexible approach to the ownership horizon and can tailor our collaboration period based on the specific ambitions of the individual partner. Our quasi-permanent capital base allows us to make long-term investments when desired, and we generally only sell shares at the request of or in coordination with our partners.

Our partners

Our portfolio of companies have various types of co-shareholders, including entrepreneurs, families and private equity funds.
