Investment targets are basic infrastructure, concession-based infrastructure, social infrastructure and infrastructure-related services.

Expansion Capital
The funds provide flexible capital solutions in Northern and Eastern Europe in a variety of situations, including expansion capital for privately-owned businesses, changes in shareholder structure and acquisitions by strategic or financial investors.

Credit
The Fund invests in debt of operationally sound but over-leveraged medium-sized European companies and has the flexibility to invest in the secondary market as well as by providing new funds where traditional sources of capital are unable to provide a satisfactory solution for stakeholders. 

Opportunity
The Fund’s focus was on medium-sized companies in Northern Europe that had a sound underlying business and a clear value creation potential, but also faced problems that required special expertise to resolve. The Fund closed for new investments in 2010.
