Our strategy in different business areas

Carucel invests capital outside of real estate through positions in the finance market and through ownership shares in shipping. We also invest in unlisted companies, both within and outside of the real estate sector. In certain investments, we add expertise through active ownership.

Finance

At Carucel Finance, we seek good companies that take a long-term view, and can actively set their own course without relying on external factors in the form of raw material prices and rates, so that we can calculate sensible returns.

In general, we invest with an infinite horizon, but history has taught us that even good products and companies can be outcompeted, and thus, we take a dynamic approach to expectations and costs.

Our portfolio primarily consists of publicly listed companies, but we do some seed capital/venture/early phase investments in cooperation with Arkwright X. Aside from this, we have investments where we take active ownership in the form of a boardroom seat.

Shipping

Carucel’s business activities in shipping are conducted through the enterprise Thorviks Rederi AS. This company is 100 percent owned by Carl Erik Krefting on a private basis, but it is operated by Carucel.

The portfolio consists of direct investments in syndicated shipping projects, including both older and newer ships, as well as new construction contracts. The investments are share-based and are almost all conducted in cooperation with professional facilitators.

The strategy is based on having a decisive and experienced team with a flexible investment mandate. The company has a pragmatic approach to the sizes of the investments, choice of sectors, and timeline for the investments.
