Industrivärden’s ndustrivärden's goal is to generate high growth in net asset value over time and to deliver a total return to the Company's shareholders which, over the long term, is higher than the average for the Stockholm Stock Exchange (NASDAQ OMX Nordic, Stockholm).


Industrivärden has achieved this goal by a good margin, and Industrivärden's stock stands up well in comparison to similar long-term investment alternatives.

This favorable performance, combined with the Company's dividend policy of paying a dividend yield that is higher than the average for the Stockholm Stock Exchange, has enabled Industrivärden to deliver an attractive and competitive total return to its shareholders.

For long periods, calculated as an average for moving ten-year periods, Industrivärden has delivered an annual excess return of two percentage points compared with the stock market.
