Solidium’s Managing Director Kari Järvinen’s comments on the review period:

“The global economy is experiencing a period of slowing growth, which together with the eurozone’s debt crisis and the downgraded growth outlooks of emerging markets is maintaining a challenging sentiment on the equity markets. Developed economies have to decrease their debt burdens, which will hamper their growth for several years. In emerging markets, consumer demand will act as the driver for economic growth.

Several of Solidium’s portfolio companies operate in heavy industry sectors, and their demand is dependent on investment growth in Europe in particular. The value of several base metals companies’ shares dropped significantly during the review period, and the best performing companies were the ones that enjoyed fairly stable demand in Finland or nearby markets.”
