Investment Strategies in Owner-Led Real Estate Companies : A qualitative study on the family's influence on investment decisions in Swedish real estate companies (English)
Abstract [en]

This study examines the factors that influence investment strategies in family-owned real estate companies, with a focus on how family influence shapes decision-making within these firms. The research is based on a problem formulation that identifies both financial factors and socioemotional values that may affect investment decisions, particularly in the context of expanding property portfolios. The aim is to describe and explain the significance of these factors for investment strategies related to expansion. The study adopts an abductive research approach and employs a qualitative method, conducting five semi-structured interviews with key individuals from five different family-owned real estate firms. The findings provide insights into how socioemotional factors concretely affect investment strategies and demonstrate that investment decisions are largely shaped by the family’s long-term perspective, control over the company, and strong social bonds. These factors influence capital structure, risk tolerance, relationships with external stakeholders, and potential financial returns. Based on the analysis of empirical data and theoretical frameworks, the study concludes that family influence often contributes to loyalty and responsibility toward the company’s long-term survival, which is prioritized over short-term profit. However, generational transitions can lead to bureaucratic challenges and require balancing control with growth ambitions.

Abstract [sv]

Denna studie undersöker vilka faktorer som påverkar investeringsstrategier i familjeägda fastighetsbolag med fokus på hur familjens inflytande formar besluten inom bolagen. Studien utgår från problemformulering som identifierar vilka faktorer som kan påverka investeringsbesluten i familjeägda fastighetsbolag, såväl finansiella faktorer som socioemotionella värden och hur detta påverkar investeringsbeslut vid expansion av fastighetsbestånd. Syftet är att beskriva och förklara dessa faktorers betydelse för investeringsstrategier vid expandering. Studien tillämpar en abduktiv forskningsansats och innefattar en kvalitativ metod där fem semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med nyckelpersoner i fem olika familjeägda fastighetsbolag. Studien bidrar med insikter om hur socioemotionella faktorer konkret påverkar investeringsstrategier samt visar att investeringsbesluten i stor utsträckning präglas av familjens långsiktiga perspektiv, kontroll av bolaget och starka sociala band. Dessa faktorer påverkar kapitalstrukturen, riskbenägenhet, externa intressenter samt potentiell finansiell avkastning. Genom analysering av insamlad empiri och med bakgrund av teori har slutsatsen kommit, som visar att familjens inflytande ofta bidrar till lojalitet och ansvar gentemot företagets långsiktiga överlevnad och att detta prioriteras framför kortsiktig vinst. Samtidigt kan generationsskiften medföra byråkratiska problem tillsammans med avvägningar mellan kontroll och tillväxt.
