Commercial Risks

Investor’s business activities expose the company to various types of risk. Commercial risks arise from maintaining long-term ownership in the Core Investments companies and conducting a flow of investments, divestments and exits in the Private Equity Investments and Operating Investments business areas. These risks include high exposure to a specific industry or holding, changed market conditions for finding attractive investment candidates and barriers preventing an exit from a holding at any given time.

Investor has a diversified portfolio that offers a good balance between different types of industries and companies in various development stages. The Core Investments companies have international operations and exposure to the economic development in a single country is therefore limited. The active Board creates valuable conditions and insights into the performance and development of companies, thereby improving opportunities to identify risks and finding concrete opportunities for value growth.

Core Investments companies and some of the companies in the Operating Investments and Private Equity Investments business areas are listed and therefore possess high levels of liquidity. This means that most of the portfolio companies are listed. They could be sold if needed and thus provide Investor with high financial flexibility. More information about commercial risks can be found in the Annual Report.
