Frequently asked questions
Does Erhvervsinvest publish its assets under management?
No. The firm does not disclose current AUM. It reports cumulative fund commitments of DKK 5.1 billion across six funds raised since 2004, a figure that represents total capital called since inception, not mark-to-market portfolio value.
What investment stages and structures does Erhvervsinvest use?
Erhvervsinvest deploys the standard buyout toolkit — management buyouts, management buy-ins, divestitures, spin-offs, and growth equity — but also pursues restructurings and secondaries opportunistically. The unifying theme is direct equity investment in Danish SMEs, not fund commitments.
What size of company does Erhvervsinvest target?
The firm typically invests in companies with revenue between DKK 75 million and DKK 750 million. This lower middle-market band captures the large population of Danish businesses where the founder is often both the sole owner and the CEO, requiring both a financial and a leadership transition.
How does Erhvervsinvest source its deals?
Erhvervsinvest's investment thesis leans heavily on Denmark's enduring succession problem: many profitable SMEs lack an heir to take over the business. The firm sources deals by positioning itself as a buyer-of-choice for retiring founders who want a clean ownership transfer and operational guidance.
Is Erhvervsinvest sector-specific?
No. The firm is a generalist within Danish industry, deliberately avoiding sector concentration. The common denominator across its portfolio is the business's geography and ownership-transition profile, not a particular vertical or technology theme.
