MVI Advisors AB announced the final closing of its third fund, MVI Fund III, at a hard cap of SEK 2 billion. This fundraise represents a substantial 84% increase over MVI's previous fund and was achieved within five months despite a challenging fundraising environment.

Notable new limited partners include Ingka Investment and Saga Private Equity. The rapid and successful fundraising underscores MVI's effective strategy and strong track record of delivering impressive returns to investors. The fund has already made significant moves, completing its first platform investment to create a Nordic environmental and sustainability platform through the partnership with companies like Ametalis. Oppenheimer & Co.’s Global Fund Placement & Advisory Group served as the exclusive fundraising advisor, while Wigge & Partners provided legal advisory services.
