NORWEGIAN VENTURE CAPITAL & PRIVATE EQUITY ASSOCIATION (NVCA) PRIVATE EQUITY FUNDS IN NORWAY ACTIVITY REPORT 212 (SEED VENTURE BUY OUT)
ABOUT THEACTIVITY REPORT 212 2 The Activity Report 212 is developed for the Norwegian Venture Capital & Private Equity Association (NVCA) by Menon Business Economics and PEREP_Analytics during February 213 The survey covers activities in: Norwegian private equity funds: Foreign private equity funds with advisory teams located in Norway Foreign private equity funds with investments in Norway: The report contains information on: Investments and divestments at cost in portfolio companies located in Norway and abroad Fundraising activity in Norwegian private equity firms Figures are collected quarterly Figures are reported directly from the private equity firms
ON THE COMPATABILITY WITH EUROPEAN STATISTICS 3 NVCA defines a «Norwegian private equity firm» as a firm with headquarters located in Norway. This definition differs from the EVCA definition, which defines a private equity firm on the basis of where the advisory team responsible for the investment and divestment is located. Due to the discrepancy in definition the EVCA and the NVCA statistics are not completely compatible. The advantage of the NVCA definition is that the investment and divestment activity is compatible with the fundraising statistics. In addition, the NVCA definition is in line with what is commonly perceived as the Norwegian private equity industry. Two examples of how the NVCAs definition applies on the statistic: 1. Investments made from the Swedish office of a Norwegian headquartered PE firm would be defined as Norwegian 2. Investments made from the Norwegian office of a Swedish headquartered PE firm regards as an investment made by a foreign located private equity fund.
