CIO Always Summer Asset Mgmt (ASAM) Fixed Income Credit specialist. Hedge fund of the year 2019, 2024



The Nordics keep producing category defining companies. The capital market around them hasn't. Building Voi, I learned something uncomfortable about European capital. At a certain stage the right money gets harder to find, not easier. The growth financing sits outside the region, even when the business has the numbers. Today we launch Always Summer. Independent Nordic asset manager. First fund is Always Opportunities. A Nordic credit fund with a flexible mandate, built to generate returns across market conditions, not just friendly ones. Core is stable cash-flow instruments. On top of that, selective positions in growth companies where we can participate in the upside without taking equity risk. @SabinaWizander it as CEO, ex McKinsey, Creandum GP and CCO at @KRYcare. Investments sit with @PikdokenT, best performing high yield bond investor in the Nordics several years running. Helena Bergin, who built Captor as COO, is our CLO. We put significant own capital in alongside partners. That matters more than most pitch decks suggest. If we want European companies to stay European, we have to build the financing that lets them. I hate hashtags, but this feels like #fintwit? :)
