Our offer

Funds, Pensions & Life Insurance

For fund companies, pension providers, life insurers and insurance intermediaries, we combine strategic advice with practical support across the areas that sharpens your offering and your commercial results.

We bring both market insight and operational expertise to questions of product development, fund and investment offering design, structuring of investment solutions, and evaluation of customer value and overall competitiveness.

Our goal is clear: to help you develop an offering that is robust, competitive and sustainable in a regulated environment.

Distribution & Market Structure

Getting distribution right in the Nordic market requires more than just a strong product. It requires an understanding of how the market is structured, how different distribution channels operate, and how regulation influences commercial relationships - whether you are a fund manager, a life insurer, a pension provider or an insurence intermediary. 

We assist clients across the value chain in developing distribution strategies that are commercially sound, thoughtfully structured and adapted to local market conditions. For fund managers, that may mean finding the right route to market through insurance wrappers or intermediary partnerships. For insurers and pension providers, it could involve evaluating channel mix, intermediary relationships or the competitiveness of your distribution model. For intermediaries, it may mean assessing your market position and identifying opportunities for growth.

Typical assignments include Nordic distribution strategy, structuring cooperation between market participants, analysing distribution models and remuneration structures, and adaptation of international business models to the Nordic regulatory and commercial environment.

Investor Advisory

For investment banks, private equity firms and venture capital funds considering investments in the Nordic savings and investment sector, we provide the market knowledge and analytical support needed to assess opportunities with confidence.

We understand how these businesses are built, how they are regulated and what drives long-term value - and we translate that understanding into practical support throughout the investment process.

Typical assignments include market and regulatory assessments, commercial due diligence, evaluation of business models and distribution capabilities, and strategic discussions before investments or acquisitions.
