Malmö-founded provider of macroeconomic and financial time-series data — 300+ million series from more than 2,500 sources — used by economists, strategists and asset managers worldwide, and owned by Francisco Partners since 2023. In Portugal through Macrobond, Unipessoal, Lda in Lisbon.
Macrobond was founded in Malmö in 2008 with the ambition of becoming the standard platform for financial and economic research. Its SaaS product today delivers more than 300 million macroeconomic and financial time series from over 2,500 sources, with analytics used by economists, quants and portfolio managers globally. Nordic Capital backed the company from 2018 and sold it to technology investor Francisco Partners in July 2023; headcount has grown to roughly 296 as of early 2026, across offices in Europe, Asia and the United States.
The company’s Portuguese entity, Macrobond, Unipessoal, Lda, operates from central Lisbon and is listed in the Luso-Swedish Chamber of Commerce’s catalogue of Swedish investments in Portugal.
Lisbon keeps winning back-office and product roles from Nordic-founded data and SaaS companies; Macrobond’s local entity places one of the Nordics’ financial-data success stories inside Portugal’s tech-talent economy.
Fractio helps Nordic companies build the Portuguese relationships, references and operational footprint they need to succeed in Portugal.
