Net debt, after cash: 13 929 M SEK
Published loan to value, on net debt: 8.7 % as at Jun 30, 2026.
How this figure is calculated
It divides net debt, after cash, by the value of the assets, rather than gross borrowings by gross assets: that is why it differs from the share above.
These borrowings are the investment company's own — the ones its published bridge to net asset value deducts. They cover the same perimeter as the gross assets the chart divides, so the share above really does measure how much of those assets is debt-financed.

The whole journalLatour moves to buy Bolt and Nut to expand Nord-Lock's critical fasteners business
The price is undisclosed. The deal shows how a targeted purchase could strengthen a highly profitable subsidiary while making only a modest difference to the holding company's debt.
Latour can invest SEK3 billion a year without crossing Fitch's red line
The A rating does more than describe debt quality. It quantifies the holding company's room to keep acquiring businesses inside its industrial subsidiaries, and the risk that could narrow it.
In India, Swegon adds 600 MW of substance to Latour's industrial strategy
The order does not yet quantify its contribution to profits. However, it demonstrates how Latour is opening a potential revenue stream from equipment, and subsequently from recurring services, within an asset it fully controls.

Average return ; the follows below.
Method and sources
Each panel carries its own scale: lengths compare within a panel, never from one panel to the next.
A return is never converted from one currency to another: that would take the exchange rate move over the whole period, not the rate on one reporting date. The company's series are served in the issuer's currency only.
Every company covered is compared with the same benchmark, never with the index their own manager picked: a manager who picks his index also picks the bar he had to clear. This benchmark is not the MSCI ACWI itself, which belongs to MSCI and may not be redistributed. It is the median, recomputed by Opulion, of the net asset values published by three ETFs from three different managers tracking that index: iShares (IE00B6R52259), State Street SPDR (IE00B44Z5B48) and Amundi (LU1829220133). A single fund is never served on its own. Convention: last net asset value on a date at or before the reporting date, within a seven calendar day window; geometric annualisation over the nominal horizon; conversion at the European Central Bank reference rate of the day of the net asset value actually retained, a cross rate being an Opulion computation that is declared as such. The recomputation reproduces the performance each manager publishes for its own fund, to the second decimal, fifteen times out of twenty, and never departs from it by more than 0.04 point. Funds used: BlackRock, State Street and Amundi.
Converted at the reference rate of Jun 30, 2026, published by the European Central Bank. A cross rate is a computation, not a published figure: the ECB publishes rates against the euro only, and the other pairs are derived from two of them.

Getting to know Latour
Each answer links to its source.
Who decides?
The Douglas family, directly and through its companies: it holds 76.1 % of the capital and 79.3 % of the votes. Eric and Carl Douglas, its main holders, sit on the board of directors.
Sourcelatour.seWhat does it own?
Two blocks. Wholly owned industrial groups such as Swegon and Nord-Lock, valued at 67 179 M SEK on its mid-point estimate; and stakes in listed companies where it is the largest or one of the largest shareholders, led by Assa Abloy, worth 74 464 M SEK.
Sourcelatour.seHow does it choose its investments?
It looks for businesses that design and make their own products under their own brands, in a profitably growing industry, with room to expand abroad. In its own words, the "next wave of development" must also have begun.
Sourcelatour.seHow does it make money?
As an industrial group as much as an investor. Its subsidiaries sold 13 961 M SEK over the last half-year, with an operating margin, the share of sales left after running costs, of 13.5 %. Its listed holdings pay it dividends.
Sourcelatour.seHow are shareholders paid?
Through a dividend set by a rule: the company passes on all the dividends it receives from its holdings, plus a share of its subsidiaries' after-tax profit. For the last financial year, 5.10 SEK per share; share buybacks are occasional.
Sourcelatour.seWhat sets it apart
It publishes its net asset value, what it owns after debt, as a range: from 190 SEK to 215 SEK per share. With no share price for its subsidiaries, it multiplies their operating profit by a range of ratios taken from comparable listed firms.
