17X in 10 years...What can we learn from Lifco and other Swedish HoldCos?

In this article, we lift the lid on the playbooks of Swedish listed serial acquirers – a group that has performed phenomenally off the back of sustained value creation from M&A. We wrote this article together with Niklas Sävås and Christian Binder from Redeye, a Stockholm based investment bank which maintains extensive coverage of the serial acquirer listed universe. 

Back to Sweden though, we structured the article by answering these four questions:

1. Why do Swedish serial acquirers keep multiplying?

2. How do they approach capital allocation?

3. How do they approach integration?

4. How are they valued in public markets?
