- Svolder AB (publ) (Ticker: SVOL-A.ST) is a Sweden-based investment company that primarily invests in shares of small and medium-sized companies listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. The firm operates as a publicly owned investment trust, focusing on long-term value creation through careful analysis of attractively valued Swedish small-cap equities; it maintains a concentrated portfolio of such holdings and regularly publishes its net asset value per share on a weekly basis. Founded in June 1993 and headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, Svolder employs a team of six and trades its own shares on Nasdaq Stockholm.
Svolder's investment activities target listed small and medium-sized Swedish enterprises across various sectors, including industrials, technology, and consumer goods, with a strategy emphasizing active ownership and potential board influence in portfolio companies. Its geographic operations are centered in Sweden, serving shareholders through transparent reporting of net asset value developments relative to benchmarks like the CSRX small-cap index. The company does not offer traditional asset management services but functions as a listed investment vehicle for exposure to undervalued Swedish small caps.
In recent developments, Svolder divested all its shares in Profoto Holding AB in November 2025, streamlining its portfolio amid ongoing net asset value fluctuations. The company held its annual general meeting on November 18, 2025, approving a dividend payout that adjusted both net worth and share price; as of late November 2025, its net asset value stood at SEK 56 per share, reflecting a year-to-date increase of 7% including reinvested dividends. Earlier in 2024, Svolder supported ITAB Shop Concept AB's acquisition of Financière HMY through shareholding alignment with major stakeholders, while also acquiring shares in MilDef Group AB to bolster its positions in rugged technology solutions.
