SKAGEN - Kon-Tiki

What SKAGEN - Kon-Tiki does

SKAGEN AS is a Norwegian fund management company headquartered in Stavanger, founded in 1993 and operating under the SKAGEN Funds brand. The firm manages a portfolio of five actively managed equity funds — SKAGEN Global A (global equities), SKAGEN Kon-Tiki A (global emerging markets), SKAGEN Focus A (global small and mid-caps), SKAGEN m2 A (global listed real estate), and SKAGEN Vekst A (Norwegian/European equities) — alongside fixed income funds. All mandates follow a consistent bottom-up, contrarian, value-based stock selection philosophy, producing concentrated portfolios of typically fewer than 50 stocks with Active Share consistently above 90% and average holding periods over two years. The firm's funds are administered by parent company Storebrand Asset Management AS while portfolio management operates independently.

SKAGEN serves both retail investors (through its proprietary investor platform at investor.skagenfunds.com, client advisers, and recurring subscription-style mandates) and institutional investors (through dedicated institutional services including transactions, nominee applications, and client servicing). Revenue is generated entirely through recurring management fees ranging from 1.00% to 2.00% annually, deducted directly from fund assets. Distribution is multi-channel: the firm operates across Nordic, broader European, and global emerging markets (Korea, China, Brazil, Japan, USA, Canada), with content-led demand generation supported by an active LinkedIn and Twitter presence, monthly fund reports, topical thought-leadership articles, and an annual flagship New Year's Conference held for 19 consecutive years in Oslo. Recent performance has been strong across the equity book, with SKAGEN Kon-Tiki A returning 16.04% YTD and 29.42% over the trailing 12 months as of August 2026.
