Value creation
Thorough evaluation of any investment opportunity is
key to Nordic Capital's approach. Before pursuing any
opportunities, Nordic Capital's investment professionals will
assess the attractiveness and business dynamic of the industry in
which the target company operates, placing particular emphasis on
the competitive position of the company and the potential for
operational improvements. This strategic assessment ensures Nordic
Capital has a clear view of the potential of the target company,
its growth and development opportunities.
Once an investment opportunity has been identified,
Nordic Capital follows six key value creation themes:
Structural transformation
Identifies synergies made visible through the merger process and unlocks potential value.
Examples: Nybron, Mölnlycke Health Care and Hilding Anders

Operational improvement
Identifies and realises operational improvement opportunities such as cost and capital improvement or revenue enhancing initiatives.
Examples: Capio, Leaf, Unomedical and BE Group
Buy-and-Build
A platform to realise a growth trajectory along a clearly defined, acquisition growth path.
Examples: Unilabs, Falck and Ahlsell

Emerging market growth
Either by exporting and/or adopting existing business concepts to emerging market environments.
