Swedish fund boutique Humle Fonder has named Mikael Löfdahl as CEO and co-portfolio manager alongside Petter Löfqvist. Löfdahl, a seasoned small-cap analyst and portfolio manager, most recently co-managed a long-only equity fund and the hedge fund FE Select at FE Fonder with Fredrik Skoglund.

Löfdahl joined FE Fonder as a portfolio manager in early 2021 after nearly 16 years at Carnegie Investment Bank, where he held several roles as a small-cap analyst, including Head of Small-Cap Research. Earlier in his career, he served as an assistant portfolio manager at Handelsbanken Asset Management in the early 2000s. In total, he brings more than 25 years of experience in small-cap analysis and investing. His deep expertise in the segment provides Humle with an additional edge in its focus on smaller companies.

“Together, we will make sure to continue building Humle along the current path, focusing on investing in companies with long-term potential to deliver profit growth over time and, in turn, returns.”

Humle’s small-cap focus aligns closely with Löfdahl’s long-standing investment focus. “Mikael is a long-awaited addition to Humle. He has extensive experience in the Swedish and Nordic small-cap market, both as an analyst and as a manager,” says Petter Löfqvist. “Together, we will make sure to continue building Humle along the current path, focusing on investing in companies with long-term potential to deliver profit growth over time and, in turn, returns.”

“We share the same view on the importance of a structured, analysis-driven investment style and concentrated portfolios where every company should contribute.”

Commenting on his new role, Löfdahl says that joining Humle as CEO and co-manager alongside Petter Löfqvist feels like a natural fit, as “we share the same view on the importance of a structured, analysis-driven investment style and concentrated portfolios where every company should contribute.” He also sees opportunities to strengthen sustainability efforts, noting that Humle’s parent company, Atle, “feels like a good family to be part of. There is a clear vision, drive, and the strength to grow. Being able to contribute to that development and work closely with committed colleagues is a great opportunity.”
