Norlantic Capital Featured in Dagens Næringsliv

We are proud to share that Norlantic Capital was recently featured in Dagens Næringsliv, Norway's leading financial newspaper. The article, written by Jacob Schulz, a renowned journalist specializing in alternative investments and high-profile investors, highlights the launch of our new fund and the exclusive seminar we hosted in Oslo. The coverage has sparked significant interest in Norlantic's strategy and the broader transatlantic investment landscape.

Inside the Article: A Bold Bet on the U.S. Private Equity Market

Titled "Norwegian 32-year-old starts fund in the US - investor believes Europe has become a museum", the article profiles Tharald Sund Fongaard, Norlantic's founder, and the motivations behind launching a buyout fund focused on U.S. middle-market investments. Backed by a network of wealthy Norwegian investors, the fund reflects a growing sentiment that Europe's economic and geopolitical climate has become increasingly unattractive, leading many to shift capital away from European markets.

Some key takeaways from the article:

• Norlantic Capital has already raised significant capital and is actively investing in U.S. buyout funds.
• The fund's inception can be traced back to a sailing trip with notable figures, including Kygo and Christian Ness, where discussions on global investment trends took center stage.
• Investors backing Norlantic believe that Europe's economic stagnation and geopolitical risks make the U.S. a far more attractive investment destination.
• Fongaard expresses the view that while controversial, Donald Trump's policies may benefit the U.S. economy in the short term, reinforcing the appeal of the American private equity landscape.

A Seminar That Brought Industry Leaders Together

Beyond the article, the seminar hosted in Oslo proved to be a key moment for Norlantic's growing investor base. The event featured engaging discussions with industry veterans, including Atif Gilani and Cassidy (Baird) Allvord from Renovus Capital Partners, who traveled from Philadelphia to share insights on private equity strategies. Tharald Fongaard's keynote address set the stage for a thought-provoking conversation on global investment trends and the opportunities ahead.

The feature in Dagens Næringsliv has further amplified Norlantic's profile in the investment community, highlighting our unique approach to cross-border private equity investing.
