IR Profile: Altor’s Søren Johansen

by Alice Murray 21 August 2017

Founded in 2003 and currently investing from its fourth fund (€2bn, 2014 vintage), Nordic-based private equity house Altor has eschewed the widely embraced dedicated investor relations function. Instead, Altor’s IR efforts are handled collectively by the partner group, supported by the CFO office.
The Drawdown speaks to partner Søren Johansen about how IR is managed at the firm.

The Drawdown (TDD): What drove the decision to forego having a dedicated IR head?

 Søren Johansen (SJ):

Let me first of all say  that we are extremely dedicated to IR and investors – it is rather that we have chosen a slightly different set-up.
