  • Private Equity in Sweden
    PRIVATE EQUITY IN SWEDEN An analysis of the private equity industry in Sweden and two case studies on individual companies’ competitive strategy JOHAN MATTISSON MASTER THESIS LUND UNIVERSITY, 2017 Abstract Private equity is a growing global phenomena and private equity companies have become a major force in many of Sweden’s industries. These companies own portfolio companies which together employs around 190 000 people and have an annual revenue of over 318 billion SEK. The purpose of this thesis was to describe and analyze the Swedish private equity industry and individual companies’ competitive strategy to increase value of portfolio companies and to attract capital. The methodical approach of this thesis was qualitative and abductive. Only public data was used bar the two interviews that was conducted with the case companies. The theoretical framework for the industry analysis was Porters five forces. The case companies were analyzed on the corporate, business and operational levels of strategy. A resource based view was used to further analyze the case companies’ strategic capabilities. The main findings from the industry analysis was that the vast majority of investors in Swedish private equity funds are made by professional institutions and a large amount of the investments were of international origin. The large pool of investors makes it easier for Swedish private equity companies to attract capital. The number of new private equity funds have been declining since 2007 but at the same time the average fund size has grown. There are many differentiating factors between private equity companies. This differentiation is beneficial for the private equity companies as they become less commoditized from the viewpoint of an investor.

  • Report on Investments in Unlisted Equity for the GPFG
    EVALUATING INVESTMENTS IN UNLISTED EQUITY FOR THE NORWEGIAN GOVERNMENT PENSION FUND GLOBAL (GPFG). January 10, 2018 Trond M. Døskeland, NHH Per Strömberg, Stockholm School of Economics 1 Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to provide analysis and recommendation to assist the Ministry of Finance in assessing whether the mandate to GPFG should be altered to allow for investments in unlisted equity, or Private Equity (PE) investments. The PE market consists of different segments that differ depending on the types of firms they invest in: venture capital (investing in young companies and startups), growth equity (investing in somewhat more established but fast-growing companies), buyouts (investing in mature companies), and distress (focusing on turnaround situations). Still, the PE model of ownership and governance is quite similar across these segments. The focus of PE investors is on creating real value through active ownership and governance of firms in a way that is difficult to replicate in a public setting. Top PE investors possess unique skills to add real value to the companies they own beyond just financial engineering, and these skills are difficult to acquire and/or imitate. The bulk of PE investment is undertaken by specialized financial intermediaries, PE funds, in which PE fund managers raise capital from institutional investors. In the report we explain the legal structure, compensation, and incentive alignment between investors (LPs) and fund managers (GPs). The PE funds model is expensive, with PE fund managers capturing fees and performance pay amounting to 6-7% per year. We argue that there is substantial scope for large and sophisticated institutional investors in PE to improve returns through reducing fees and obtaining more LP-friendly contracts.

  • Ratos Releases SEK 928M with New Capital Structure in Dahl
    1 (2) Drottninggatan 2 Box 1661 SE-111 96 Stockholm Sweden Telephone +46 8-700 17 00 Telefax +46 8-10 25 59 www.ratos.se PRESS RELEASE 3 February 2003 Ratos releases SEK 928m with new capital structure in Dahl A re-financing of their holdings by Dahl’s owners will release a total of SEK 2.1 billion. This new capital structure was made possible by the successful performance of the Dahl Group. Ratos receives a cash payment of SEK 928m while still retaining its holding in Dahl. In spring 1999 EQT and Ratos effected a buyout of Dahl from the stock exchange, with Ratos investing SEK 562m. Following Dahl’s delisting, Dahl’s board and management were also invited to buy shares in the newly formed Dahl Group on the same terms as EQT and Ratos. Dahl’s operations have shown positive development over the past four years – with strong improvements in sales, earnings and cash flow. The Dahl Group’s loans could be repaid at a fast rate and the equity ratio has risen from approximately 25% at the time of the buyout in 1999 to around 45%. The company’s interest-bearing net debt in relation to profit before depreciation (EBITDA) now amounts to approximately 1.7 compared with 5.9 in 1999. As a consequence of this performance the company’s owners have decided to create a more effective capital structure in the Dahl Group. Dahl’s owners are forming a new company to acquire existing preference and ordinary shares through a combined cash and share offer.
