Swedbank Corporate Finance has broad, in-depth experience as a financial advisor and project leader in both ECM and M&A. In M&A, we add value through advisory, sector knowledge and efficient management and execution of transactions as well as the preparatory work that precedes them – across acquisitions, mergers, divestments and reconstructions.

In ECM transactions, we have extensive knowledge and experience of driving the process execution and structuring the offerings. With our strategic partner, international financial services provider Kepler Cheuvreux, we provide our customers with top-ranked analytics and a well-proven sales & distribution platform – giving superior access to institutional investors. This, in combination with Swedbank’s unique distribution capacity domestically, gives your company a best-in-class distribution network within and beyond the Nordics.
