CapMan Oyj is a leading Nordic private asset management and investment firm headquartered in Helsinki, Finland. Founded in 1989, the company specializes in unlisted market investments, raising capital from pension funds, insurance companies, family offices, and other professional investors. CapMan operates through three primary business segments: the Management Company business, the Services business, and the Investment business.
The Management Company segment is the core of its operations, managing private equity, real estate, infrastructure, and natural capital funds. This segment generates recurring management fees and performance-based carried interest when funds exceed return hurdles. The Services segment provides procurement services to companies in Finland, Sweden, and the Baltics through CapMan Procurement Services (CaPS), as well as technology-based analytics, reporting, and back-office services for investors via JAY Solutions. The Investment segment deploys CapMan's own balance-sheet capital into its private equity asset classes and listed markets, aligning its interests with those of its fund investors.
CapMan's geographic footprint is concentrated in the Nordic countries, with offices in Helsinki, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, and Jyväskylä, alongside international outposts in London, Luxembourg, and Düsseldorf. The firm distinguishes itself through its active ownership approach, local market expertise, and a diversified portfolio of alternative assets, positioning it as a key player in the Nordic private markets value chain.
