Our way of working
Our aim is to maximise the value of our portfolio companies
We offer more than just a source of finance. Our goal is the profitable growth of our portfolio companies. We work closely with our portfolio companies and their management to create long-term growth and improve profitability. The growth can happen both organically and through acquisitions.
We also offer our portfolio companies many kinds of expertise through our wide network. We co-operate with the region’s entrepreneurs, organisations, banks and other financiers.
We are not permanent shareholders in any of our target companies. Our exit strategy is to withdraw within 3-7 years, for example, through the trade sale or the sale to another private equity investor.
We have executed more than 50 different transactions and financed approximately 90 companies. Our average investment period has been approximately 5.5 years.
Responsible investing
Responsibility – the consideration of Environmental, Social and Governance factors – has an ever-growing importance in business. At Midinvest Management Ltd, we make our best effort to drive this development and support the funds we manage to operate sustainably and in accordance with principles of sustainable finance. We take concrete steps to implement responsible investing: we assess ESG risks and opportunities prior to acquisition, expect appropriate disclosure and action on ESG issues from investee companies, and review the progress of our own ESG policy. We believe that high business ethical requirements and high return requirements are complementary goals.
The EU Sustainable Finance Regulation applies to alternative investment fund managers. The sustainability factors (environmental, social, human rights and prevention of corruption and bribery) should be taken into account and followed up on, and possible adverse sustainability impacts should be reported. At the moment, however, the funds managed by Midinvest Management Ltd are not financial products that meet the criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities within the meaning of the Regulation.
We are a member of the Finnish Venture Capital Association (FVCA) and registered with the Financial Services Authority in compliance with the law on Alternative Investment Fund Managers (162/2013).
We follow the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEVG) and the Investor Reporting Guidelines of Invest Europe.
