Europe’s and the world’s best quality and growth companies.
CB European Quality Fund is our European fund, investing in market-leading companies whose growth is structural – driven by long-term trends rather than the economic cycle.
CB Save Earth Fund is our global environmental fund, investing in market-leading companies that solve global environmental challenges through innovation and new technology. The fund focuses on three megatrends: environmental technology, water management and renewable energy.
Both funds are classified as Article 9 under the EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). The portfolios are concentrated, with 20–30 holdings each and clear active positions at sector and country level as well. We invest with conviction rather than tracking an index.
The funds are managed by the three of us – Carl Bernadotte, Marcus Grimfors and Alexander Jansson – a small, experienced team that makes every investment decision together. Between us, we have over 70 years of experience in the financial markets, and we have managed the funds together for nearly 20 years. Through our co-ownership of the firm and our own investments in the funds, our success is directly linked to that of our investors.

Examples of structural growth themes across the funds
Electrification & efficiency
Electrification and efficiency is a theme with clear structural growth as more and more areas of society shift from fossil fuels to electricity. The need to use energy more intelligently is driving demand for solutions that make industry, transport and buildings both more efficient and less dependent on fossil energy.
The transition affects the entire chain, from the generation and transmission of electricity to the components and systems that govern how that energy is used. This includes electrifying vehicles and industrial processes, reinforcing power grids and opting for installations that reduce both energy use and emissions.
Semiconductors
Semiconductors are a cornerstone of the modern economy and a theme with strong structural growth. More and more products and processes are becoming connected, automated and electrified, and every such step increases the need for the chips that make technology work.
Demand is driven by several trends at once, from digitalisation and rising computing power to the electrification of vehicles and industry. This makes semiconductors a critical component in almost all new technology and a prerequisite for continued technological progress.
Construction & materials
Construction and materials are underpinned by long-term, structural needs. A growing and increasingly urbanised population, combined with a far-reaching transformation of society’s infrastructure, creates a lasting need to build, renovate and upgrade.
At the same time, the demands for resource-efficient construction with less climate impact continue to grow. This increases demand for smarter and more sustainable materials, for energy-efficient buildings and for the infrastructure required as societies grow and modernise.
