Solidium revises its strategy and financial targets

A process to update Solidium’s strategy, financial targets and operating model was initiated in the second half of 2025 and finalized during the first quarter of 2026. Solidium’s mission remains unchanged; the aim is to create shareholder value and to strengthen ownership in Finnish nationally important companies. Solidium’s investment strategy covers both minority investments in Finnish listed companies and privately held growth companies. New investments should be at least EUR 50m in size. 

Solidium creates long-term value through capital allocation and active ownership. As an active owner, Solidium develops Board compositions, drives value through Board work, and exerts owner influence through constructive dialogue with portfolio companies, co-investors, and other stakeholders. 

Solidium has set an over the cycle total shareholder return (TSR) target of over 10% p.a. for its total equity portfolio. The TSR on Solidium’s equity holdings since inception is 10.2% p.a. The TSR for the total portfolio is also targeted to exceed the TSR’s for Solidium’s value-weighted peer index and the OMX CAP GI Index consisting of shares listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange. The TSR for Solidium’s individual equity holdings is targeted to exceed the TSR for their respective peer group median returns.  

To manage portfolio concentration, Solidium’s individual investments should represent less than 20% of its total portfolio, unless well justified. The company also targets a maximum leverage of 10%, and a minimum liquidity of EUR 100–300 million in cash or committed credit lines.  

”Driving growth, transformation, and value creation for the Finnish society is at the core of Solidium’s revised strategy. Finland needs value creating growth, and we aim to play our part as a catalyst for this. Our financial targets are ambitious and require hard work and successful long-term execution from both us and our portfolio companies. We aim to be an active, engaged, and growth-oriented owner and support our portfolio companies in realizing their full potential,” says Matts Rosenberg, CEO of Solidium.
