“We are glad to finally be up and running. We are a solid team with high ambitions and extensive experience from the real estate and capital market and will grow our team with new members in the near term.

“We believe that there will be many interesting opportunities in both Sweden and Finland and we are very excited to build a new investment company from the beginning. We are now looking forward to evaluate potential acquisitions, but also to build a strong asset management organisation that takes care of the properties in the best possible way.”

Jonas Ström, CEO of ABG Sundal Collier comments:

“We have been looking to establish this type of business for the Swedish and Finnish markets for quite some time and have now finally found the right team to accomplish this.

It feels great to be able to do this with Andreas, Philip och Per. Their experience and expertise in real estate coupled with ABGSC’s platform create opportunities and stability for investors.

Real estate is an important component of a diversified investment portfolio and I am therefore very pleased that ABG Fastena now has launched. With this establishment, we now have the opportunity to offer a pan-Nordic service to investors who are looking for stable and predictable cash flows.”
