well proven Investment StrategIES

Cubera’s different funds and mandates are all based on consistent and well proven investment strategies continuously being developed and becoming increasingly sophisticated. Currently, Cubera advises on four distinct buyout strategies:

  • Secondary acquisitions of shares in Nordic buyout funds (including co-investments)

  • Primary commitments to international buyout funds

  • Primary commitments to Nordic buyout funds

  • Primary commitments to international impact funds

 
 

strong performance

The buyout sector has grown significantly over the last decades driven by high absolute return. Outperforming the market requires significant resources and specialized investment skills, as the industry is characterized by significant spread in returns and the fact that private equity is “private”.

Cubera has over the last decades delivered consistent net return in the high tens across all strategies, hence consistently placing itself in the upper quartile of its international peers. The focused buyout strategies and distinct processes enable Cubera to reduce risk premiums and offer attractive returns.

 
 

experienced team

Cubera has a highly experienced and stable investment team comprising 32 professionals based in Oslo and Stockholm. The senior partners have on average more than 20 years of private equity experience.

Cubera is built on long-term relationships. With the international and Nordic private equity programs established in 1999 and 2006 respectively, Cubera has built a deep network, superior knowledge and access to attractive managers worldwide.
