A pioneering management company in the Nordic countries
Founded in Stockholm in 1989 by Robert Andreen and Morgan Olsson, Nordic Capital has rapidly established itself as a leading private equity firm. A pioneer of private equity in Scandinavia, it has ten offices worldwide and over two hundred employees. In its more than three decades of existence, it has invested some 26 billion euros.
Present in the Vintage Altaroc Odyssey 2021, Nordic Capital invests in high-growth companies in sectors recognized for their resilience. To boost its activity, the firm relies on a strategy of specialization. It focuses on the healthcare, technology and financial services sectors. For example, it sets the benchmark in the US by investing exclusively in HealthTech.
Nominations for excellence and innovation in private equity
Nordic Capital targets regions where it has a deep history and sectors in which it has recognized expertise. This approach enables it to improve its operational efficiency and generate transformative growth. It supports companies to make them stronger and more sustainable over time. Today, it manages over 30 billion euros in assets.
At the Private Equity Wire European Awards 2025, the company won the "ESG Private Capital Fund of the Year" and "Global Fundraise of the Year: Buyout" awards. The latter rewarded the successful closing of Nordic Capital Evolution II in December 2024. In just four months, it raised €2 billion. This far exceeded the initial target of 1.4 billion euros.
A commitment to trust and sustainable development
