Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at KH Group?
Mikko Laakkonen, the firm's chairman and largest shareholder, drives all major capital allocation decisions. He works alongside a small executive team that oversees subsidiary governance. The group does not employ an external investment committee or answer to fund limited partners.
How does KH Group structure its acquisitions?
KH Group targets majority buyouts of Nordic companies and operates them as wholly-owned subsidiaries rather than portfolio assets. The group uses its own balance sheet for acquisitions and holds businesses indefinitely, without fixed exit timelines. This contrasts with traditional private equity firms that raise blind-pool funds and return capital to LPs after a holding period.
What types of companies does KH Group target?
The group focuses on Nordic small-to-mid-cap industrial and technology companies with enterprise values between approximately €20 million and €200 million. Its portfolio has included machinery distribution, furniture retail, IT services and construction services. The firm seeks businesses with stable cash flows and positions where operational involvement can improve performance.
