Established in June 2007, Deltaq invests in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that typically have a need for generational change or change of ownership or a need for capital and stronger management in order to continue to grow and develop.
During an expected ownership period of 3–7 years, Deltaq develops the enterprises with a view to a subsequent divestment to new owners. When all of Deltaq’s enterprises have been sold, the intention is to wind up Deltaq, as is customary for private equity funds.

Deltaq is listed on the Nasdaq OMX Copenhagen stock exchange. Its owners include a large number of private shareholders as well as a number of local banks who together with FSP Pension and Købstædernes Forsikring have invested approximately DKK 325m in the company. In addition to their capacity as co-investors, the banks will use their local presence and networks to help Deltaq identify appropriate investment targets. The Deltaq management team has also invested capital in the company.

Active ownership a value-creating component
Deltaq does not aim to maximise returns through aggressive gearing. Instead, Deltaq aims to generate a high return on its investments through growth and active ownership and by capitalising on the company’s industrial and management skills. Deltaq aims to generate a return on a level with the historical return among Nordic peers.
