Strategy

Industrivärden creates value through active ownership and a professional investment operation. Active ownership is based on Industrivärden’s model for value creation in its portfolio companies. The investment operation is built upon a structured process of continuous analysis of existing and potential holdings.

Clear investment criteria

Adhering to the business mission of creating shareholder value based on a professional investment operation and active ownership, Industrivärden works according to the following investment criteria:

• Mid- and large cap listed Nordic companies.
• Companies with business models that can be applied in several markets.
• Companies with a good ability to generate growth in cash flow.
• Leading positions in selected market segments.
• Strong potential for growth in value through active ownership.
• Ownership stakes that enable significant influence.
• Concentration on a limited number of shareholdings

Every investment is analyzed with respect to its potential for value appreciation. Quantitative goals are evaluated on a continuous basis, as are possible forms of a future exit. Major emphasis is put on making continuous comparisons against long-term investments in other listed companies. Investments are made within the framework of Industrivärden’s overall portfolio strategy, they are not dependent on any particular sector, and they are evaluated continuously with a 5–8 year time horizon.
