We have been around for decades and we take a long-term view

Since 1983, we've invested in more than 140 Nordic growth companies. We act as an active, long-term partner, contributing capital, experience and a genuine commitment to building value together with entrepreneurs.

A long history, still moving forward

Our business took shape in the 1980s as part of Skandia, grounded in a clear idea: to give promising companies the right conditions to grow. Since 1998, we've operated under the name Priveq, continuing to build on a foundation of experience, strong relationships and long-term value creation.

Capital from long-term investors

We manage capital on behalf of a distinguished group of Swedish and international investors. This provides stability, long-term perspective and a shared ambition: to build companies that are resilient, grow sustainably and create value over time.
Over the years, our investment performance has been strong. This is reflected in comparisons with other European private equity investors. As a result, we've been entrusted with managing additional capital over time.

Fund overview

To date, Priveq has been given the trust to manage a total value of close to 13 billion Swedish kronor. We are currently investing capital from the Priveq Investment VII, amounts to SEK 3,000m.

PRIVEQ IN SOCIETY

Here are some of our initiatives

ZB Foundation

ZB Foundation (ZBF) supports vulnerable young people in parts of Africa in moving from isolation and poverty towards education and employment. Their work places a particular focus on education for girls and young women, who are often among the most vulnerable, and at the same time have the greatest potential to create positive change for their families and communities. Priveq supports ZBF as a long-term partner.

Trine

Trine is a crowdfunding initiative where private individuals and companies can invest in small-scale solar energy projects. By providing loans for investments in areas not normally covered by the regular electricity grid, villages and communities gain access to low-cost, low-carbon electricity — creating opportunities to improve living standards.

Since 2020, we have invested in several projects in Africa and Asia through Trine. The initiative aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goal No. 13: Climate Action.

GAIN (Girls Are Investors) Sweden

GAIN is a non-profit organisation working to open doors to greater gender equality within the financial sector. GAIN inspires and empowers young women to explore career opportunities through role models, impactful education programmes, and hands-on experience.

We are a partner to GAIN and support their work to help more young women with diverse perspectives grow and develop within our exciting and rewarding industry.

We work closely with our partners to create long-term sustainable value beyond our ownership horizon.

Our climate work

We reduce our climate impact through both everyday choices and long-term responsibility. At our office, we use renewable electricity, choose trains or electric cars whenever possible, and offset the emissions from our travel. With clear targets for emissions across Scope 1–3, we also support our portfolio companies in measuring, monitoring, and reducing their emissions — where our greatest impact lies. Our own carbon footprint is offset through contributions to Gold Standard–certified climate projects and investments in biochar.
