In 2008, Solidium's mandate became the management of the listed minority shareholdings of the Finnish state.[2]

Minister of Trade and Industry Jyri Häkämies. On August 1, 2022, the net asset value of Solidium was EUR 8,968 billion.[3]

Aside from Solidium, the government still directly owns shares in three listed companies as a majority shareholder.

Solidium took over the state owned-shares in 2008 of Kemira, Metso, Outokumpu, Rautaruukki, Sampo, Sponda, Stora Enso, and Telia, and in 2009 Elisa.[citation needed]

Solidium acquired over 5% of Outotec Mining Technology Company's shares in March 2012, while Goldman Sachs reduced its ownership to less than 5%. 5% is the limit of the obligatory stock information note in Finland.[4]

Solidium has also bought
