What we do
One focus: connecting the right funds with Nordic capital
Fundraising from Nordic institutional investors is a relationship business — and relationships take decades to build. We bring those relationships, plus the LP-side experience to position your fund correctly before the first conversation begins.
01
Placement Agent Services
Full-cycle capital raising for fund managers — from LP targeting and investor dialogue to due diligence coordination and close. Hands-on Nordic market expertise at every stage.
02
Strategic Advisory
Market positioning, deal structuring, and transaction execution for PE, infrastructure, and family offices. We connect capital with opportunity through established Nordic relationships.
03
Capital Formation
End-to-end capital raising for growth companies — from initial planning through to close. We secure the right capital partners at optimal terms using our deep Nordic network.
04
Outsourced CIO
Senior investment expertise for institutions, family offices, and foundations — portfolio strategy, manager selection, alternatives allocation, and investment committee support.
Why Nordiq Partners
Insider LP perspective
Our team includes former pension fund executives and investment committee members who understand the unique challenges facing Nordic institutional investors — from the inside.
Selective mandate model
We represent a focused number of fund managers at any given time, ensuring every mandate receives the full attention of our team and the full depth of our LP relationships.
Nordic heritage & trust
We draw from the Nordic tradition of transparency, long-term value creation, and collaborative partnership. Our relationships are built on trust and integrity — established over decades.
Full-service approach
From fund placement to outsourced CIO — we bridge Nordic expertise with global capital markets, helping international fund managers access institutional capital across all four Nordic markets.
LP Network
Institutional relationships built over three decades
Our principals bring decades of experience from leading Nordic pension funds and investment committees — giving us an understanding of how these institutions evaluate, approve, and commit to alternative strategies that no external agent can replicate.
