Core holdings
Neptunia has a long-term investment perspective without a stated investment horizon, which enables us to focus on value creation and sustainable growth. Neptunia is a committed owner that exerts influence through board representation.
The objective of ownership is to actively develop and support our core holdings to become market leading companies. We identify and capitalize on value-creating opportunities, such as benchmarking, analyzing the impact of long-term trends on operations and the market, and identifying acquisition opportunities in line with Neptunia’s corporate governance model.
Minority Holdings
Since 2019, Neptunia has been building a portfolio of minority-owned holdings. The portfolio focuses on companies led by strong entrepreneurs and digital business models. Neptunia is one of several significant investors with a shared interest in helping these companies reach their full potential by providing capital and industrial network.
Financial Investments
As part of Neptunia’s investment strategy, financial investments are managed through Slättö’s funds and in well-established companies in sectors where Neptunia is active. Neptunia’s investments in Slättö’s funds have yielded strong risk adjusted returns and regular preference dividends. Through these financial investments, Neptunia gains synergies with its core holdings, liquidity, and a continuous net cash flow over time.
