Farvatn Private Equity

Farvatn Private Equity is a Norwegian family-owned company that transitioned from a century of industrial shipping, primarily through JO Tankers, into a diversified investment firm in 2016. They are focused on profitable impact investments, aiming to leave a positive footprint on the world. The firm seeks attractive long-term, risk-adjusted returns and aims to direct capital towards exceptional ideas, teams, and capital partners. Their investment philosophy is built on contrarian thinking, fairness, and trust. Farvatn is open-minded and flexible in pursuing various investment structures and transaction types, preferring to partner with like-minded investors and family offices. They have a long-standing legacy from the JO Group, initially specializing in timber freight and later becoming the world's third-largest operator of advanced chemical tanker vessels as JO Tankers. The sale of JO Tankers to Stolt Nielsen marked the shift into a new phase of investment. The firm invests across a range of asset classes, including real estate, shipping, private equity, equities, bonds, and venture capital. Their private equity investments range from fund investments to control investments in private companies. In essence, Farvatn acts as a multi-asset investor with a strong emphasis on values and long-term value creation and positive impact, leveraging its historical experience in shipping and expanding its reach into new sectors and asset classes.
