What Realinvest does

Realinvest, legally Real Invest Förvaltning i Malmö AB (organisationsnummer 556652-3808), is a Swedish private investment company and family office headquartered at Elbegatan 9, Malmö. Founded in 2005 and operating with 1-10 employees, the firm manages capital across four portfolios: (1) a globally diversified securities book of equities, bonds, and commodities held primarily through sustainability-certified index funds; (2) directly owned residential rental properties in Malmö managed by Stadsbostader; (3) Swedish forestry and agricultural land managed by SUSAB, with sustainability-certified production forests that sequester CO2; and (4) unlisted holdings, including direct stakes in growth companies and an allocation to Pale Blue VC. The firm's mission is to deliver sustainable returns that exceed inflation for current and future generations, targeting a 7% annual real return on equity over a 10-year horizon.

All investments must meet SFDR Class 8 (or better) ESG classification, at least 50% must intentionally contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goals #7, #13, #14, and #15, and the portfolio's CO2 footprint is benchmarked to the MSCI World Climate Paris Aligned index. Operational decision-making and asset management are outsourced to specialist partners: Citroneer advises on securities and unlisted holdings, Stadsbostader on Malmö residential real estate, SUSAB on forestry and agriculture, and Pale Blue VC on sustainability-focused venture exposure. There is no proprietary technology product; the firm's value proposition rests on its sustainability mandate, multi-asset diversification, and long-duration capital base.

The revenue model is portfolio investment returns rather than fee-based asset management; there are no external LP relationships disclosed. In early 2026, Realinvest extended its footprint beyond Malmö via a strategic partnership with Activate Games, providing real estate and capital to support immersive gaming venues in Helsinki, Oslo, Gothenburg, and Copenhagen, with Stockholm and Bergen planned. Governance is provided by Chairman Pontus Kristiansson (born 1971, Lund-trained civil engineer and active co-owner in multiple growth companies), board member Martina Merlöv Kristiansson (sustainability consultant and coach), alternate Jesper Ottergren (equity partner at Vinge), with EY as auditor.
