The international stock market trading industry is a dog-eat-dog world that only the fittest will survive, so to speak. Pär Olof Sandå has certainly proven himself to be a leader in the industry through the widely recognized Pan Capital Group or the Pan Capital Aktiebolag. His renown as an entrepreneur and developer is also worldwide in scale with successful projects including the redevelopment of the North Beach Village, an area composed of resorts and hotels in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Born in Skane County, Sweden, Sandå attended the Lunds Universitet and acquired a bachelor’s degree in economics. While he continues to enjoy a trailblazing career in business and finance, he prefers to keep a low profile for his family’s sake especially their privacy.
His success, nonetheless, speaks for itself. Soon after his university graduation, Sandå became an institutional broker at Stockholm Brokerage where his talents where recognized especially by Bo Mattson, the trading director. He transferred to Swedbank in 1990 when Mattson encouraged him to do so and where he continued to thrive in the highly competitive environment.
While in Swedbank, Sandå expanded his circle of associates to include Tony Saliba, Claes-Henrik Julander, Fredrik Landin, Magnus Hedman, Henrik Hedman, and Richard Warneker. Their aggressive trading practices resulted in Swedbank’s increases market share and earnings.
The group joined Rivus in September 1996 but it was a short-lived stint. By 1997, the group started its partnership with Erick Penser, which resulted in the formation of Pan Capital. By 2009, however, the partnership ended and Pan Capital became an independent entity.
Today, Pan Capital Group has offices in Stockholm and Florida. While the international stock trading company is a prominent member of several major stock exchanges worldwide, it is known for its extremely private approach regarding its private practices including keeping out of the public eye. Even its top executives are known for their extreme reluctance to be interviewed.
According to estimates made by Affärsvärlden, approximately 95 percent of Pan Capital’s transactions are completed outside of Sweden.
