Investor 2007 – President’s comments 1 President’s comments Strong financial position in a declining market Regrettably, 2007 was an unsatisfactory year to be a shareholder of Investor AB. After a strong first six months, the second part of the year was characterized by turbulent financial markets and our total return to shareholders ended at –10 percent. This can be compared with our net asset value, including reinvested dividends, which was only marginally down for the year. This means that the NAV discount of the Investor share widened. Our net asset value actually outperformed the general market as a result of several positive events during 2007. We are entering 2008 with a strong balance sheet that positions us well to act on attractive investment opportunities. A challenging year in financial markets tions for higher inflation, the central banks face counter- Overall, 2007 turned out to be eventful.
