BURE ACQUIRES HOLDING IN FONDBOLAGET FONDITA AB IN FINLAND


Bure Equity AB has signed an agreement with Livränteanstalten Hereditas
(“Hereditas”) to acquire 20.11% of Fondbolaget Fondita Ab (“Fondita”), a leading
independent manager of equity funds.
Fondita, based in Helsinki, Finland, is specialised in management of equity
funds for institutions, corporations and private investors. The company’s
investment philosophy is based on active stock picking and has so far generated
a return clearly above the market. Fondita has been recognised with several
awards from fund rating institutes such as Morningstar, Lipper and others. The
assets under management amount to EUR 770 million.

“We are pleased by the opportunity, as owners, to take part in further
developing Fondita. The investment is well in line with Bure’s focus on
companies in the financial services sector,” says CEO Henrik Blomquist.

“It is gratifying for Fondita to gain an experienced owner like Bure. We see
this as an important step in our drive to target the institutional market in
Sweden, which we regard as a natural move for us,” says Fondita’s founder and
Chairman Magnus von Knorring.

The transaction is expected to be completed within three months and is dependent
among other things on the fulfilment of customary conditions, such as approval
from the regulatory authorities in Finland.
