A direct investment (Swedish: direktinvestering) gives the investor significant or controlling influence over a company, as opposed to a pure portfolio holding. It can happen through the acquisition of a majority shareholding, by setting up a subsidiary or through venture capital with a board seat.
It is then important to know exactly who owns what. The buyer often carries out due diligence reviewing the share ledger. After the deal, the new owner must be entered in the share ledger so the ownership picture is correct.
An acquisition means a company or person buys shares or a whole company.
