Multiple Expansion Through Proven Ownership

“it comes to multiple expansion, meaning that a company is valued significantly higher when acquired by the right principal owner. He himself believes it is logical for a company to be valued higher when bought by someone with a proven ability to make companies grow. And one would probably agree with him on that.”

“Melker Schörling has fundamentally worked in the same way in MSAB as he did at the beginning of his career as CEO and major owner of Securitas and owner of Assa Abloy. Through his own company, he has invested in Swedish-owned quality companies that have had the potential to develop and grow internationally. He wants to have significant influence in the companies in which he invests. When the company grows and makes money with global risk distribution, it is not only good for the company but also for the owner. If value is created in the company, it also creates value for the shareholders. And capital in the form of dividends.”
