Bedret samordning av skysstilbudet knyttet til felles oppsett for ferie, fridager, plan- leggingsdager og skoletider (start- og sluttidspunkt). 2.

Aker's 175 Anniversary

In 2016 Aker will be celebrating its 175th anniversary. This report is written in association with this celebration. Its main purpose is to highlight important events that have occurred over the past 25 years. What events are considered to be important? How have these events influenced the environment and Aker’s future? This is what we have attempted to answer in our report. We chose a snowball method which means we performed a few preliminary interviews that guided us to our next interview subjects. After analysing the data we collected from our interviews, combined with our literature, we ended up with several interesting findings. Our findings include: - Aker’s part in the development of the oil and gas industry in Norway - The growth of subsea - New ownership in Aker, an event that occurred in 1996-1997 - Fishing industry becomes a part of Aker’s portfolio in 1996 - Aker Maritime and Kvaerner merge and de-merge, this happened in 2002 and 2011 - Aker ASA goes in a new direction from 2009 - An acquisition in Det norske takes place, and Aker Exploration merges with Det norske 2009 - Ocean Yield is established in 2012 ! We have analysed these events and areas of importance, and attempted to establish how they have impacted Aker’s future and its environment. -

Dividend Yield Strategies in Times of Increasing Interest Rates
Dividend Yield Strategies in Times of Increasing Interest Rates An Examination of the Norwegian Stock Market Copenhagen Business School M.Sc. in Applied Economics and Finance Master’s Thesis Nikolai Esse Berge Erik Eugen Voll Didriksen 116561 115640 Supervisor: Michael Ahm 15.05.2019 Characters: 216,211 Pages: 108 Abstract I ___________________________________________________________________________ Abstract The current macro-economic conditions, with historically low interest rates, have created problems for investors to achieve risk-free inflation protected returns. In this environment, dividend yield strategies, such as “Dogs of the Dow” which this thesis is based on, have become increasingly attractive to yield-seeking investors. Previous research on this topic has concluded with various results. On these grounds, the aim of this thesis is to examine a high dividend yield strategy in the Norwegian stock market, on an absolute and risk-adjusted level. Further, a particular focus on periods with increasing and decreasing interest rates are more distinctly investigated. In order to control for different risk factors, such as market, size, value and momentum in our returns, a Carhart (1997) model is applied. A dividend risk factor will also be constructed to identify if there is a general dividend premium in the Norwegian market. Throughout the examination period from 2002 until 2019, our high dividend yield portfolio has significantly outperformed the benchmark index. After estimating the expected returns, adjusted for risk with the Carhart four-factor model, the high dividend yield portfolio still achieve positive abnormal returns, with a yearly average of 4.81%. Cyclical attributes are found in the portfolio, suggesting the superior returns to be dependent on a bull market.
