We created Summa Equity to invest to solve global challenges.

The name Summa Equity was not chosen  arbitrarily. “Summa” is Latin for “total”,  which is intended to signify “for all”  (inclusiveness) and what our thesis is “all  about”. “Equity” represents equality, justice  and fairness. To us, the name reflects our  attempt to create a “win-win”; value and  prosperity both for us and others. Summa  Summarum, Summa Equity means “Our way  of creating value and prosperity for all”.

Our logo is a sum-sign ( ∑ ) for total, but also  incorporates an equals-sign ( = ) for equality.

Summa Equity is developing fast, and it is encouraging to see  increased momentum among companies and investors to join us in solving the challenges that the world is facing. We  just closed our Fund II with SEK 6.5 billion (c. EUR 610 million)  to invest to solve global challenges. Although it has only been three years after the inception of the firm, and two years  since we closed Fund I with commitments of SEK 4.7 billion (c. EUR 440 million), there has been a significant development  in the investment community. It recognizes that companies  that incorporate solutions to ESG challenges, is no longer just a way to minimize risk, but is increasingly seen as a tool to create value. Companies will show stronger growth and  returns. In short, these companies will be more future-proof.

We are honored and proud that Summa has been recognized  as an innovator, most recently by winning the ESG Award at  the Private Equity Awards 2019, one of the oldest and most  respected tributes in our industry. Summa Equity won for placing ESG considerations at the core of our investment model. We wish to co-create a way of thinking with our  portfolio companies and together grow competence around  the Sustainable Development Goals, the associated business  opportunities and how to measure impact. We believe that  this will contribute to stronger long-term strategies, fuel  innovation and create a stronger sense of purpose.
