Ramsbury Invest
Stefan Persson established Ramsbury Invest after building H&M into a global retailer. The office operates from Stockholm and serves the Persson family as its sole principal. Karl-Johan Persson, Stefan's son and H&M chairman, holds a shareholder position alongside the founder. Ramsbury Invest deploys capital through direct co-investments, SPVs, fund-of-funds vehicles and real estate. Confirmed holdings include mixed-use estates in Wiltshire and commercial properties on the Champs-Élysées, Via del Corso and Drottninggatan. The portfolio spans early-stage venture through late-stage growth in Europe and North America. Asset classes include private equity, infrastructure, natural resources and philanthropic vehicles. The firm lists 24 billion dollars under management. It maintains no additional offices beyond Stockholm. Adjacent structures include the Erling-Persson Family Foundation and the H&M Foundation. Karl-Johan Persson serves on the board of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in the UK. Ramsbury Invest separates investment decisions from H&M corporate governance through distinct legal entities. The structure allows the family to retain control of operating-company oversight while directing external capital allocation independently.
