SEB Private Equity

SEB Private Equity is a global private equity investor with a strong Nordic presence, focusing on developing companies both operationally and strategically by partnering with skilled entrepreneurs and managers. Since its inception in 1998, the firm has become a leading global private equity investor with a highly experienced team and an excellent global network to deploy in its investment activities. The firm invests capital from leading third-party institutions, including endowments and pension funds.

The firm's investment philosophy is based on its long and extensive experience and a strong track record of investing locally and globally. Its approach is different from other private equity firms in that it invests 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 SEB Private Equity to remain flexible and react quickly to market movements to secure emerging opportunities.

SEB Private Equity's global strategy involves investing in partnership structures and directly into portfolio companies at a global stage. Due to its experience, network, and insights, the firm has over 40 LPAC and board seats globally. In the Nordic region, SEB Private Equity is an active partner to its portfolio companies in the lower mid-market by always taking board seats and normally joining as the majority owner. Through its global investment approach, the firm identifies attractive investment opportunities, some being traded in the public markets. Its listed strategy leverages these insights and invests alongside reputable private market investors.

Sustainability is at the core of SEB Private Equity's operations. The firm is convinced that companies actively managing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities are the ones that also perform well over time. As of year-end 2021, SEB Private Equity had over $4 billion in assets under management, with more than 100 direct investments made globally to date. The firm has a team of 24 members and over 100 years of combined investment experience.

In August 2024, SEB Private Equity acquired a majority stake in Talurit Group, a global market leader in mechanical splicing systems for wire rope. This acquisition marked a significant new chapter for Talurit Group, as its long-standing owner decided to pass the torch after more than 50 years. The transaction was completed on August 29, 2024, and is expected to provide Talurit Group with continuous financial stability and the resources needed to achieve its ambitious growth and innovation targets.

SEB Private Equity's investment approach is characterized by its flexibility and responsiveness to market movements, enabling it to secure emerging opportunities both locally and globally. The firm's commitment to sustainability and active management of ESG risks and opportunities underscores its dedication to long-term value creation for its portfolio companies and investors.
