Most European real estate investors understand that energy performance matters. Despite growing pressure from energy costs, regulation and lenders, the pace of improvement remains slow.

The ambition is there and the targets are set. The challenge is execution.

The Nordic market is ahead of the curve. Energy performance has increasingly become an investment issue, affecting operating income, financing, liquidity and asset values.

Slättö has worked systematically to identify, prioritise and execute energy improvements across its portfolios. This paper shares what we have learned.

While many of the lessons are operational in nature, they have clear implications for institutional investors. As energy performance becomes increasingly material, efficient portfolios will be more resilient, supporting higher returns and lower risk.

Slättö is the natural choice for investors seeking alpha returns and a targeted exposure to the Nordics within value add and core plus strategies.

Since inception in 2013, the firm has executed transactions with a total value of EUR 5 bn.

Slättö has built a strong track record of market-leading returns through thematic strategies focused on Nordic residential, logistics and light industrial, underpinned by deep local sourcing.
