Private Equity

Added value through change.

At SEB Private Equity, we invest our clients’ capital to develop companies both operationally and strategically, by partnering with skilled entrepreneurs and managers.

Since our start in 1998, we have become a leading global private equity investor with a highly experienced team and an excellent global network to deploy in our investment activities.

At SEB Private Equity, we invest capital from leading third party institutions including endowments and pension funds.

Our unique strategy

Our investment philosophy is based on our long and extensive experience and a strong track record of investing locally and globally. Our approach is different from other private equity firms in that we invest directly in majority owned companies in the Nordics, directly alongside selected partners globally, and indirectly through established partnerships as primaries and secondaries. This investment strategy allows us to remain flexible and react quickly to market movements to secure emerging opportunities.

Global strategy

We invest in partnership structures and directly into portfolio companies at a global stage and because of our experience, network, and insights, we have over 40 LPAC and board seats globally.

Nordic strategy

We are an active partner to our Nordic portfolio companies in the lower mid-market by always taking Board seats and normally joining as the majority owner.

Listed strategy

Through our global investment approach, we identify attractive investment opportunities, some being traded in the public markets. Our listed strategy leverages these insights and invests alongside reputable private market investors.

Our companies

We make control or co-control investments in small-to-midsized companies in the Nordics with sales of SEK 100 – 2,000m. Our average equity investment is between SEK 100 – 500m.

Sustainability is at our core

We are convinced that companies actively managing environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities are the ones who also perform well over time.
