Söderberg & Partners was established in 2004 in Stockholm when a group of nine analysts decided to leave one of the Nordic region's large financial companies to start their own consultancy business led by Gustaf Rentzhog, who is still the CEO today. Per-Olof Söderberg bought into their business idea and became principal shareholder, and today, he is Chairman of the Board. At the beginning, our business only offered pension advice, but soon we were also able to offer business insurance advice. Since then, several business areas have emerged, and we continue to expand and innovate within the financial sector. The initial group of nine analysts has grown to more than 2,000 employees in our now international group. A group which is geographically based in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands and Spain. However, although we are larger than ever before, the entrepreneurial spirit is still alive and kicking, and we have no doubt that our franchise structure is one of the reasons for that. Our analysis department is another thing we are also very proud of. Over the years, it became one of the leading analysis departments in the Nordic region. Therefore, it is only natural that analysis is one of the cornerstones of everything we do. What started as a dream is today a well-tuned and growing business. At Söderberg & Partners, we are proud to be among the leading advisers in the Nordic region on insurance and financial products.
