A key objective for Watrium, is to hand the firm and the businesses over to the next generations in an improved state – financially, operationally and reputation-wise. Managing risk is therefore of major importance.

Consequently, Watrium operates in line with the following value-oriented, global and intergenerational investment strategy:

• Watrium strives to make a positive contribution to society as a whole
• We invest in high quality businesses with top quality management, where ownership and managerial interests are strongly aligned
• We like to partner with other investment firms, families and entrepreneurs that shares our values and active ownership ambition
• We have a counter-cyclical mindset, using financial leverage conservatively and maintain a strong balance sheet to be able to support our businesses in downturns and take advantages of the opportunities that arises
• Watrium’s unique long-term perspective and flexible investment mandate makes it possible to also invest in minority and illiquid positions, that over time offers attractive risk adjusted return
• In general, we do not invest in early ventures, but selectively we support companies with proven business models to accelerate international growth
