"A decade ago, investing in companies solving global challenges was still considered a niche strategy. Today, those same challenges have only become more pressing – and the investment opportunities even stronger." We are featured in HedgeNordic's Private Markets 2026 report, where our Founder and Managing Partner Reynir Indahl shares reflections on Summa's first decade and why we believe thematic investing is increasingly relevant in today's market environment.

In conversation with Scott Church, our Founder and Managing Partner, Reynir Indahl, reflects on Summa Equity's journey over the past decade, from our founding conviction that companies solving global challenges would outperform, to how we think about today's investment landscape, geopolitical shifts, and the evolving conversation around ESG and impact. Thank you to the Rede Partners team for the invitation and for a great discussion. 🎙️ Listen to the episode below.
Our fifth episode of RedeCast is out now. Reynir Indahl, Founder and Managing Partner of Summa Equity, joins our host Scott Church for a conversation about one of the most distinctive theses in European private equity. Founded in 2016 on the conviction that companies solving global challenges would outperform their peers, Summa has spent a decade proving exactly that. Reynir talks about the founding story, navigating the ESG and impact label debate, why geopolitical uncertainty has become a tailwind rather than a headwind, and what he would tell his 2016 self about what was going to be harder than expected.

The energy transition is not moving too fast. It is moving unevenly. Solar and batteries are scaling fast. The grid, the markets, and the rules are not. That is what we see in prices and reliability today. Annika Moman on the real bottleneck. Read more on our website here: https://lnkd.in/eAFWhrni #energytransition

The Planetary Boundaries framework identifies nine critical Earth system processes and the thresholds that define the safe operating space for humanity. When those thresholds are crossed, systemic risk builds. So does demand for solutions. Our Planetary Boundaries Report connects the health of these systems to the economy that depends on them, and to the way we allocate capital.

The energy system we inherited was built for a different era. The one replacing it is electric, distributed, and digital. The full argument, in brief: where the transition is moving, where it is lagging, and where capital makes the difference. Read more on our website here: https://lnkd.in/eimX9FuP

“If Thomas Edison walked into a power plant today, he would feel right at home. If Alexander Graham Bell saw a smartphone, he would have no idea what it was.” Our energy system has barely changed in 140 years. Annika Moman on why that has to change, and where we are investing.
