ABB announces the divestiture of Power Grids. Investor makes additional investments in Ericsson, Electrolux and Saab, and Patricia Industries acquires two new subsidiaries: Piab (Sweden) and Sarnova (U.S.). MSCI upgrades Investor's ESG rating to A (BBB).

2019 Investor invests in ABB and Electrolux announces its intention to spin off Professional as a separate company. Patricia Industries' major subsidiaries report good sales and profit growth. Aleris is divested. EQT is successfully listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, with Investor remaining as the lead owner.

2020 was dominated by the covid-19 pandemic. Our companies were quick to adapt by taking action to safeguard employees, support customers, lower costs and secure liquidity. Within Listed Companies, we invested SEK 3.4bn in ABB, Ericsson and Electrolux Professional, which became our 13th listed company. Patricia Industries acquired Advanced Instruments, the global leader in osmolality testing. We continued to drive our sustainability agenda, launching focus areas and targets to further future-proof our companies.

2021 continued to be dominated by the covid-19 pandemic. In mid-April, Patricia Industries divested Grand Group and the Grand Hôtel property, as the hotel segment does not fit with our investment priorities. Investor sharpened its climate targets further and joined the UNFCCC’s Race to Zero campaign ahead of COP26 through the Exponential Roadmap Initiative. During the fall, Atlas Antibodies, previously part of Financial Investments, was presented as a major subsidiary. Atlas Antibodies is a global developer of advanced reagents for biomedical research.
