How we invest

PROACTIVE SOURCING

52% of portfolios acquired in 2025 were from the top-20 largest banking groups in Europe

We focus on bank orginated debt and have strong relationships with banks- and financial institutions across Europe. The claims we acquire are from banks with high origination standards and credit quality, mainly the larger banking groups active in Europe as well as regional banks.

CLEAR GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE

Return on equity-target of >20% at Group-level

Investments are assessed based on a range of financial metrics, with Return on Equity being the core one. Our Investment-team works in close cooperation with our local teams in each country, and they put forward new investment proposals together. Investment decisions are taken following a clear governance structure, where the Board of Directors is the highest decision-making body.

ACTIVE ASSET MANAGEMENT

Strong and stable collection performance

We closely monitor the performance of all our portfolios and are quick to implement actions when a portfolio diverge from the originally assessed cash flow curve. This proactive approach is key to understand our strong collection performance over time. We are in general a long-term owner however also, from time to time, divest portfolios.
