Alternative investments: Alternative equity
Important information
Swedbank Robur Alternative Equity I is intended for professional investors only.
Investing in funds involves a risk of loss. Swedbank Robur Alternative Equity I primarily invests in unlisted companies, which generally involves a higher risk than investments in listed companies. The illiquid nature of the underlying investments, the number of investments in the fund and currency risks are other examples of substantial risks associated with investing in the fund. A more comprehensive description of the risks can be found in the fund's information brochure.
Swedbank Robur Alternative Equity invests long-term in unlisted Swedish and Nordic companies, both in established growth companies and other privately owned companies with a focus on sustainable value creation. We will be the preferred co-investor and co-owner, with value growth as the guiding star and a strong belief in the power of private capital with active owners.
