94 years building trust

Building on trust to create prosperity for tomorrow

The foundation upon which we stand dates back almost a century. It stretches back to 1932, when Ole Kirk Christiansen transformed his modest workshop into a toy company that a few years later would be known as LEGO. Following the de-merger from KIRKBI in 2007, we continue to lean on our heritage as we look toward the future. Rooted in our key values of competence, dedication and integrity, we work closely with our partners to achieve our vision of creating long-term prosperity.

Our investments include

Strategic Investments

Kirk Kapital is the largest and most active minority investor in Scandinavia. Our portfolio consists of 17 market-leading business-to-business companies across Scandinavia whose shareholders have chosen us as their preferred and trusted strategic minority partner.

Investment Strategy

Kirk Kapital manages multiple individual portfolios, with each portfolio tailored to our partners’ precise requirements and wishes. The portfolios consist of a wide range of investments, including fixed income, listed equities and alternatives. Our independence, and the size of our combined assets under management, provide our families with the highest-quality wealth management services while maintaining cost efficiency.

Investing in People

Kirk Kapital’s key (intangible) asset is our employees. Our aim is to have employees who share our company values of competence, dedication and integrity, and work towards our purpose of creating long-term prosperity. Simultaneously, we aspire to have employees who are both proud of and truly enjoy working at Kirk Kapital.

Family is everything

The “family DNA” is deeply rooted in Kirk Kapital and embedded in every activity we perform – from creating long-term prosperity to building trust with our partners. We believe this creates a unique sense of belonging, both for our shareholders, employees, partners and their families.

Working at Kirk Kapital

“There is a family DNA feeling that provides a unique sense of belonging and a purpose that extends all the way to my own family”

Kirk Kapital’s purpose is to create long-term prosperity for the families of our shareholders, partners and employees. We manage and grow family-owned capital based on our own family values of competence, dedication and integrity. These values form the foundation of our business, inspiring trusting, long-term relationships with our partners, as well as underlining our respect of family life beyond the professional world. We are proud of the tight bonds we build, and we are proud to call every one of our partners a part of the Kirk Kapital family.

Our values

The foundation we stand on

Based on our legacy and family DNA, our key values form the pillars upon which we build trusting relationships with our partners.

We pride ourselves on being among the best, brightest and most experienced in our field, and constantly strive to maintain this trusted standard.

Dedication

We have a relentless focus on realising our purpose.

Integrity

We conduct our business in accordance with highest standards of professional behaviour and ethics.

“Our values of competence, dedication and integrity form the core of who we are and what we stand for, and serve as guiding principles for everything we do. In other words, this is our investment in building trust”
