Investment Manager

Fred. Olsen Investments manages new investment opportunities for Bonheur ASA, and continuously evaluates investment opportunities with a view to strengthen existing engagements and expand into new, but still related, business areas, across technologies, services and products.

Building on competencies developed continuously since 1848, Bonheur has a unique track record of transformation and venturing into a variety of new industries. Bonheur was an early mover within onshore and offshore renewable energy embarking on this in the 1990s. As an investor and owner, Bonheur is characterized by a preference for significant, active and long-term ownership.
