Capman Founder Vesa Vanha-Honko invested in Gorilla Capital. We had the honour of interviewing Vesa on alternative investments and what convinced him to invest in the Gorilla III fund. “Gorilla surprised me - you have brought a completely new way of doing venture capital to the Nordic markets”, Vesa says, and continues: 💡 "You go in the early stage, have strict pre-screening criteria, support the companies in the journey and exit with reasonable multiples before the second valley of death." 💡“Usually, investing at seed or pre-seed stage is perceived as extremely risky. But looking at Gorilla Capital, I don’t see risk being any higher than investing in a buyout fund. Diversification is very high in Gorilla’s portfolio." 💡"You bring money, know-how and support to the development of early stage companies that typically don’t get money or help from VCs." 💡 "Critical elements of a successful team are visible in Gorilla: attitude, entrepreneurial background and discipline. “ 💡 "You face no competition” A heartfelt thank you to Vesa, for taking the time to share your invaluable insights with us.

SpareBank 1 Markets AS would like to congratulate HitecVision with the successful sale of its 4.3% stake in Vår Energi . After the transaction, HitecVision owns no shares in Vår Energi. The transaction was executed as a club-deal priced at NOK 34.43 per share. Including the IPO in February 2022, HitecVision has carried out five secondary sell-downs in Vår Energi totaling more than USD 2.1bn – representing the largest sell-down on the Oslo Stock Exchange by any single owner, aside from the Norwegian Government’s privatization of Equinor.   Vår Energi is one of the fastest growing E&P companies globally and is set to double its production from the 2023 to the end of 2025 while maintaining material cash flow generation and attractive dividends.   SpareBank 1 Markets acted as Joint Global Coordinator and Bookrunner in the transaction, as well as in the IPO and three previous sell-downs that were executed as broad ABBs.

Peter Legind-Hansen, Director of Global Listing Services at Nasdaq, talks about the market and IPO trends in the Nordics vs. the US. Key takeaways:   1. US 10-Year Treasury Yield:The yield is currently high, indicating potential shifts in market dynamics.   2. Market Trends: Markets, particularly in the US, are near all-time highs. High valuations of large companies might shift investor interest to other opportunities.   3. Investment Focus: There is a skew towards late-stage, less risky assets.   4. Mature Companies: Some companies are more mature but have lower share prices, representing potential investment opportunities.   5. IPOs and Listed Companies: While some investors await new IPOs, there are numerous attractive listed companies to consider for investment now. #GlobalForum2024

When CEO Magdalena Wahlqvist Alveskog reviews the Q1 results of Swedish fund manager Handelsbanken Fonder Fonder, there is one figure she could “absolutely” have done without – the firm’s significant Finnish outflow. In the first quarter, net savings in Handelsbanken’s mutual funds in Sweden alone amounted to SEK 4bn (EUR 347m), corresponding to 17% of new savings in this market. But the Swedish net inflow was more than offset by a SEK -4.7bn (EUR 407m) outflow in Finland. Combined with a mix of flows – some positive and some negative – in the manager’s other markets in a number of European countries, this led to a minor outflow during the quarter amounting to SEK -0.6bn (EUR 52m). The loss of a major institutional mandate accounts for most of the outflow in Finland, Alveskog tells AMWatch in an interview following the publication of the Q1 report, but the fact that Handelsbanken is going through a transition phase in the Finnish market also plays a role. This transition is related to the divestment of Handelsbanken’s operations in Finland. #assetmanagement #assetmanager #fundmanagement #fundmanager #investments #bankingindustry #financialmarkets
