Solidium’s half-year review 1.1.-30.6.2025: The return on equity holdings was 13.3 percent, the new CEO was appointed

Strong performance by portfolio companies in an uncertain environment

Despite the unstable geopolitical situation, Solidium’s shareholdings and the Helsinki Stock Exchange more broadly performed well during the first half of the year. In early April, President Trump’s tariff decisions in the United States and growing fears of a trade war caused temporary turbulence in the stock markets. However, the markets recovered quickly, and the share prices of Solidium’s portfolio companies also returned to their previous levels after a short decline. Outokumpu, Metso, Anora and Sampo performed best.

Matts Rosenberg was appointed as CEO of Solidium

Matts Rosenberg was appointed CEO of Solidium on 9 April 2025 and assumed his new role on 11 August 2025. Matts has more than 20 years of experience in active ownership, investing and corporate transactions.

“Solidium represents for me long-term and responsible ownership, and it holds a unique position in the Finnish business community. Together with Solidium’s professional team, network and other stakeholders, my goal is to enhance the impact of our operations and accelerate value creation,” commented Matts Rosenberg.
