Focused but open minded
Focus is a key word for us. That is why our goal is to concentrate on being a committed and active owner of property in a few selected markets. At the same time, to achieve favorable risk diversification, we complement our main property focus by allocating venture capital from this core business to other sectors when the right opportunities arise. The whole idea is to add value by actively and responsibly exercising our ownership role.

Seizing new opportunities
With a stable cash flow from our property holdings as a platform, our aim is to capitalize on investment opportunities that arise and apply our unique personal commitment to creating value growth over many generations. This long-term thinking is important to us. We believe it’s the only way to continuously improve and develop the properties and investments in our portfolio – a fundamental driver to our growth and profitability.

Excellent service and quality
Our property operations are actively managed with an emphasis on excellent service and quality products for sustainable, comfortable housing. We act and manage with the aim of maintaining our properties over many generations. Our private equity operations have a long-term investment horizon and our focus is on creating lasting value growth.

Balancing people, profit and planet
We are committed to long-term sustainable development and see environmental issues as a natural part of our work. This includes taking a responsible approach to the environment as well as how we treat people. We are also convinced that a sound approach to sustainability issues provides greater benefits, both for us as a company and for the world at large.

Holmström Private Equity (HPE) is always on the lookout for investments where it can help unlock the full potential of tomorrow’s great companies.

Investing in Sweden and internationally
A portion of the positive cash flow generated from our investment property is allocated to a broader portfolio of holdings. Holmström Private Equity focuses on small to mid-sized growth companies. As an active investor, we are always seeking entrepreneurial companies where we can add capital, expertise and provide access to our business network. We work closely with both the management teams and board of directors to make a key strategic difference for companies and their owners. By adding value to our portfolio companies, we also increase the overall value of our own investments.

Growing great companies
We are a dynamic investor with strong commitment to growing companies. We usually take a position on the board and use our extensive experience and network to further develop our investments. We are a long-term investor with a relationship-driven approach.

The deciding factor in our investment decisions is the management, owners and people behind each company. Naturally our investment strategy is also based on the company’s overall potential and opportunities for growth based on a number of parameters, while the specific industrial sector and nature of operations are of secondary importance.

Doubling the value in five years
We only invest in companies where we see a potential to double the value of a company within a five-year time frame. In recent years, we’ve acquired and divested of several successful investments. To view divested investments, click here.

Long-term value growth
Holmströmgruppen has a long-term investment horizon and our focus is on creating long-term value growth. We have no predetermined exit strategies, choosing instead to time and manage our divestments and acquisitions based on the prevailing market conditions.
