Review by CEO Ilkka Laurila
We launched our clarified strategy and updated long-term targets during the third quarter of the year. Taaleri’s strategic focus areas include capturing Garantia’s full potential through increased brand awareness and new partnerships, expanding the Private Asset Management business by scaling products within its existing strategies and launching new ones, and fully capitalising on return opportunities within current investments through development capital while selectively exploring new investment prospects to optimise capital deployment. We seek to selectively utilise mergers and acquisitions to support the execution of our growth strategy. To advance the strategy, we are placing greater emphasis on increasing Garantia’s market share and scaling our private asset funds, alongside the selective launch of new funds. With the updated strategy and new management structure, we are taking a more active role in value creation across the lifecycle of our development capital investments. We will also provide investors with greater transparency into the development of these investments to enable an improved assessment of their value progression.
During the quarter, there were significant changes in the fair values of the Investment segment’s investments. These changes were influenced by the recent operational developments and financing arrangements of certain portfolio companies. The most notable positive change in fair value was booked for a direct wind farm investment in Texas, in which Taaleri SolarWind II Fund is also an owner. During the quarter, the wind farm’s fair value assessment shifted from acquisition cost to net asset value reported in the fund report.
Operating profit for the third quarter increased slightly compared to the strong reference period, primarily due to growth in continuing earnings within the Private Asset Management segment and changes in the fair value of the Investments segment’s investments. Group’s continuing earnings increased by 4.2% to EUR 10.1 million. The Private Asset Management segment delivered solid continuing earnings growth, while Garantia’s continuing earnings remained at the level of the comparison period. The operating profit of EUR 15.3 million for the quarter was largely attributable to positive fair value changes in Taaleri’s investment portfolio, resulting in an operating profit margin of 66.6%.
Active management in private asset funds
The fundraising period for Taaleri SolarWind III Fund, Finland’s largest infrastructure fund, has been extended until year-end to allow a major investor to complete its decision-making process. We expect the fund to continue growing. Additionally, a EUR 70 million co-investment commitment enhances the fund’s investment capacity. The fund continues to invest in projects within its development portfolio. Taaleri Wind II, Wind III, and SolarWind Funds are in the divestment phase, with exits actively pursued in a challenging market environment.
Other private asset management focused on advancing their respective strategies. Eden Living, a joint venture between Taaleri and Finland’s largest pension insurer Keva, completed its second investment in a residential development in Kivenlahti, Espoo. The bioindustry business executed its sixth growth investment from the Taaleri Bioindustry I Fund into Finnish Food Factory Oy, a producer of plant-based foods, and focused on active value creation as the fund nears the end of its investment phase. The co-invested production facility in Joensuu is producing test batches of torrefied biomass for customers as it is refining its production process.
Garantia delivers a stable performance
The volume of new residential mortgages issued in Finland increased compared to the reference period, and Garantia’s market position in mortgage guarantees has strengthened significantly during 2025. Garantia’s insurance service result grew slightly in the third quarter to EUR 3.5 million. Net investment income recognised through profit or loss amounted to EUR 3.1 million. Record-breaking stock market performance at the end of the quarter had a positive impact on Garantia’s investment activities, although the result fell slightly short of the exceptionally strong investment income recorded in the third quarter of the comparison period.
We increased transparency of the Investments segment
As part of the early autumn strategy update, we reorganised the business within the Investments segment. The segment includes development capital investments, balance sheet investments into Taaleri funds, and other investments. The investment activities are now driven by a renewed team actively identifying new investment opportunities in line with the updated process. Going forward, Taaleri will report more extensively on the progress of its most significant development capital investments. Segment revenue increased slightly from the strong reference period to EUR 8.0 million, mainly due to changes in the fair value of investments. Changes were both positive and negative. Active development of development capital projects continues.
In line with our refined strategy, we are pursuing determined growth across all three business segments. We continue to work purposefully based on our strategic priorities and see significant opportunities to develop the business by identifying and executing new growth initiatives.

Outlook and financial targets
Taaleri’s business outlook for the current financial year is described below. The outlook is based on Taaleri’s understanding of business developments during the current financial year and in relation to the corresponding period.
Private Asset Management
The growth in continuing earnings from the renewable energy business for 2025 will be clarified as the final size of the Taaleri SolarWind III Fund is confirmed. The exits from the Taaleri Wind II and Taaleri Wind III Funds are likely to take place after 2025, thereby affecting the total amount of continuing earnings for the full year 2025. The operating profit for 2025 will depend, among other factors, on the clarification of the estimated performance fees for the funds in the exit phase or their final amount and timing of the exits.
Taaleri’s bioindustry, real estate and other fund businesses focus on developing new products, which burdens the profitability of Other private asset management. The operating profit for 2025 is expected to remain negative in Other private asset management, but to develop positively compared to the previous period.
Investments
The operating profit for 2025 will depend, among other factors, on changes in the fair value of development capital and fund investments, as well as other investments, and on final exits in particular.
Garantia
Garantia’s continuing earnings are expected to remain slightly below the comparison period due to, in particular, the prolonged weak development of the Finnish housing market, which is reflected in the company’s results with a delay. In a market environment in line with expectations, Garantia’s net income from investment operations is expected to decrease compared to the exceptionally strong comparison period.
Other group
The level of operating expenses in Group operations is expected to remain at approximately the level of the corresponding period.
Long-term targets
Taaleri has set itself targets related to growth, return on invested capital and dividend payout. Taaleri’s long-term targets set in 2023 for 2023–2025 are:
- Growth in Group’s continuing earnings and performance fees at least 15 percent
- Return on equity at least 15 percent
- Dividend payout at least 50 percent of the FY profit.
Taaleri’s long-term targets set in 2025 for 2026–2028 are:
- Growth in operating profit from continuing earnings 12% p.a. on average (new target)
- Return on equity (ROE) at fair value above 15% p.a. on average over the strategy period (updated)
- At least 50% of the financial year’s profit to be paid as dividends (unchanged).
