What they do

They manage over 100 funds across equities, fixed income, and multi-asset strategies. While primarily a public markets investor, their 'Microcap' and 'Nordic Small Cap' funds act as anchor investors for IPOs and occasionally lead investment rounds in private, high-potential startups. They are renowned for their strict sustainability (ESG) criteria, aiming for a net-zero portfolio by 2040.

What they look for
The firm focuses on long-term value creation through active stock picking and rigorous sustainability integration. Their core philosophy is that companies contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030) will outperform over time. They primarily target companies preparing to list (IPO) or listed companies, but also invest in private companies with a clear path to liquidity or fitting high-growth themes like VR/Gaming.
