When Helen Groth worked as an analyst at Lannebo, she met Matilda Karlsson, a reporter at EFN. Since then, the two have maintained contact through their shared interest in stocks.
At the beginning of the year, Helen Groth resigned from Lannebo, over a year after the Öhman Group acquired the fund company. Around the same time, Matilda Karlsson also resigned from her job as a stockbroker at Pareto.
A few weeks ago, Placera reported that the two are planning to start a fund.
Now, the duo confirms the rumors.
“We share a common interest in stocks and make a great team. It was natural for us to do something together,” says Helen Groth to Placera.
“Moreover, we complement each other well. Matilda is creative and particularly skilled in sales, but also in analysis, while my strength lies in analysis and management.”
The fund will focus on Nordic companies and be sector-agnostic.
“Nordic companies have been undervalued for a long time, and we see many attractive opportunities in the market, with many prominent companies with great potential,” reveals Helen Groth.
Currently, they cannot disclose all the information as the authorization to operate the fund is still pending with the FI. However, Affärsvärlden has information that it will be named Gaia – Greek for “earth” or, in Greek mythology, “the goddess of the earth.”
The plan is to launch the fund before summer this year, if all goes according to plan.
“What will you focus on at the launch?” “It is more important than ever to stand out by building a strong brand, through different channels. We believe we can build a strong brand that can cut through the noise.”
With a deep understanding of the Nordic market and a strong partnership between Helen Groth and Matilda Karlsson, Gaia Fund is poised to make a significant impact in the world of investment. Their expertise and complementary skills promise a unique approach to stock analysis and management, offering investors a fresh perspective on the opportunities available in the region.
As they navigate the regulatory process and prepare for the fund’s launch, all eyes are on Gaia Fund and the innovative strategies it will bring to the table. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting new venture that promises to shake up the investment world with its blend of creativity, analysis, and forward-thinking vision.
