Arendals Fossekompani generates long-term value through three core activities:
1. Identifying and investing in new portfolio companies.
2. Driving value creation in existing portfolio companies through active ownership.
3. Realising value from existing portfolio companies
With over a century of industrial development experience, our investment approach leverages our strengths. We create value through strategic use of capital, expertise and network. Our goal is to create an attractive total return for our shareholders in a sustainable manner.
Active ownership: As an owner, we actively work with the boards and management teams of our portfolio companies. We support our companies in setting ambitious targets and developing strategies to reach them, we monitor performance, support M&A and financing, and work to build strong boards, management teams and leaders.
Long-term perspective: In every investment, we have a long-term view of our objectives. We retain ownership of our portfolio companies for as long as we are the best owner, ensuring long-term value and stability.
Forward-thinking: We seek to build world-leading positions in industries driven by global megatrends such as Energy transition, Digitalisation and Deglobalisation. We believe that a responsible approach to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors is essential for achieving solid risk-adjusted returns over time.
