Nordic Capital

Founded in 1989, Nordic Capital is a major private equity firm that targets buyouts of large-cap and upper mid-market companies. The firm is recognized as one of the largest private equity firms globally, having raised significant capital through its flagship buyout funds and its Evolution mid-market series. It maintains a strong presence across Europe and North America with offices in major financial hubs including Stockholm, London, and New York.

The firm is known for its sector-specialist approach, particularly in healthcare and technology. One of its most notable historical achievements was the acquisition of Nycomed for $2 billion in 2005 and its subsequent sale for $14 billion in 2011, which was cited as one of the most profitable private equity deals ever. Recently, the firm has continued its active streak with multi-billion dollar acquisitions like Hargreaves Lansdown and Anaqua, as well as several high-profile exits via IPOs and trade sales.
