Ferd
VC Fund
Lysaker, Norway
Ferd is a VC fund in Lysaker focused on Software and Energy. Ferd Capital has three investment mandates: Private Companies, Listed Companies, and Special Investments. These mandates give the business area significant flexibility in terms of the type of investments it can make. Ferd Capital can invest in various different situations, from mature companies in need of a turnaround through to venture companiesthat need professionalising and additional capital. The majority of our investments are, however, in high-quality companies that we can make even stronger by acting as a good owner. We are not structured as an investment fund, and this gives us flexibility with regard to our investment horizon. In both the privately owned and listed companies in which we have a significant ownership interest, we are a long-term and active investor that acts on the basis of Ferd’s value platform and competitive advantages.
