Index Investment

What Index Investment does

Index Investment Group is a privately owned, entrepreneur-driven development company founded in Sweden in 1998 by Bjarne Borg and Fredrik Alama. The company develops business projects in real estate and renewable energy, operating primarily across Sweden, the United States (Florida, New York), and Canada through wholly-owned subsidiaries including Index Real Estate, Index Energy, Index Residence, Index Realty, Index Energy Group Canada, and the previously divested Magnusson brokerage. Over 25+ years of organic growth without institutional equity funding, the company has cumulatively developed more than 7,300 residential units, holds 3,800+ units in its current development pipeline, and delivered approximately 639,000 square meters (6.886 million square feet) of commercial space, while maintaining a 35%+ equity ratio and 37%+ IRR.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: one-time real estate development and sales, recurring rental income from residential and commercial properties (condos, rentals, affordable housing, senior living, and commercial units), transaction-fee-based real estate agency services, and subscription-style property management. The customer base spans residential end-users, commercial tenants (with notable leases to PepsiCo bottling subsidiary Clintons Ditch, Briggs & Stratton, and Neptune Wellness Services), and municipalities seeking sustainable urban development.

The operating model is built on a full investment cycle of acquisitions, developments, management, and successful exits, with investments concentrated in regions where management has deep local expertise. Leadership is headed by CEO Rickard Haraldsson, supported by regional CFOs (Alan R. Swift for USA, Kristina Hanna for Sweden), a Director of the Board (Jacob Borg), and functional directors across capital markets, real estate development, and land development. The company holds an S&P Global 'Darkgreen' ESG rating and has published a Green Finance Framework (Project Apex, November 2024) supporting access to green bond financing.

Broad incumbents

Brookfield's real assets operating model and renewable power franchise make it a relevant broad incumbent peer for Index's combined real estate and renewable energy investment thesis.

OX2 is the most direct comparable to Index Energy's renewable energy development activities, with overlapping Nordic geographic footprint and similar development-to-exit model.
