Evli's long-term goal is to be a growing and profitable asset manager with a unique customer base and a broader international business. We want to be the forerunner in responsible wealth management in the Nordics, and in this way help our clients in managing their wealth to support a sustainable future. The cornerstones of our growth are finding and developing new investment solutions, leveraging digitalization, creating a unique client experience, and integrating responsibility into business operations.
Evli’s constant pursuit is to create an even more scalable business model. Digitalization will play an important role in this, as Evli streamlines its investment and brokerage processes. The service experience seamlessly integrates traditional personal service with the use of electronic channels and digital services.
We aim to simplify both our own and our clients’ investment processes and offer unique product and service solutions to our clients. Succeeding in this will enable Evli to achieve its business objectives of clear revenue growth, strong profitability, and a competitive return on equity.
Revenue growth will be pursued primarily organically and, where possible, through acquisitions. In wealth management, the company’s most important business area, growth is sought by increasing both the assets under management and the number of new client relationships. In addition to Finland and Sweden, Evli also sees growth potential in asset management in other Nordic countries and Europe.
