Hedge Funds in Norway

Hedge funds are in essence investment partnerships between a fund manager and the investors which are also called limited partners. The investors bring important financial contributions to the fund, and the general partner or the fund manager is the one who develops and pursues a strategy for maximizing the profits and keeping risks as low as possible.

There are many options for investment in hedge funds in Norway and one of our Norwegian lawyers can help you watch over the opportunities and risks involved in entering a hedge fund in this country.

 

If you intend to invest in Norway, one popular option is opening a hedge fund. These investment vehicles are addressed both to institutions and natural persons. The main advantage of investing in hedge funds, compared to mutual funds, is that hedge funds offer a wider range of securities. Therefore, through a hedge fund in Norway you can invest in traditional securities such as real estate stocks, bonds and commodities but you can also access more risky and sophisticated investment techniques and options.

 

Another characteristic of the hedge funds in Norway is the fact that investments are done both by stocks acquisition as well as by selling stocks and rebuying them when their price has decreased. In hedge funds the leverage technique is also employed, a technique which refers to advantageous investments made with borrowed money.
