Edellisvuonna alkanut yritysten arvostustasojen lasku, pääomasijoitusrahastojen varainkeruun vaikeutuminen ja listautumismarkkinan hiljentyminen jatkuivat vuonna 2023. Epävarmassa markkinatilanteessa ja irtautumisten hidastuessa Tesin (Suomen Teollisuussijoitus) vastasyklinen rooli korostui. Tesi kokosi uuden 200 miljoonan euron Kasvurahastojen rahaston ja teki kappalemääräisesti yli 80 % suorista sijoituksistaan startup- ja kasvuyrityksiin jatkosijoituksina.
Tesi in 2023: Tesi’s role as a stabilising force in a turbulent market becomes increasingly important22.3.2024 10:41:16 EET | Press release

The prevailing market uncertainty and sluggish exits increase the importance of Tesi’s role as a stabilising counterforce. Tesi raised a new EUR 200 million KRR V fund-of-funds, while over 80% of Tesi’s direct investments were follow-on investments in startup and growth companies.
