The thesis primarily seeks to evaluate whether a multiple factor forecast model or a forecast combination model incorporating additional explanatory variables have the ability to outperform a five common factor (FCF) benchmark forecast model containing common factors for the Norwegian stock market. The in-sample and out-of- sample forecasting results indicate that a multiple factor forecast model fails to outperform the FCF benchmark model. Interestingly, a forecast combination model with additional explanatory variables for the Norwegian market is expected to outperform the FCF benchmark forecast model. GRA 19703 0981324 0983760 Acknowledgements This thesis was written as the final piece of assessment after five years at BI Norwegian Business School and marks the completion of the Master of Science in Business program. We would like to thank our supervisor Ignacio Garcia de Olalla Lopez for his help and guidance through this process.

  • Arctic Norwegian Equities Monthly Report April 2019
    Arctic Norwegian Equities Monthly Report April 2019 FUND COMMENTS Arcc Norwegian Equies (Class I) gave 2.07% return in April versus 1.94% for the OSEFX benchmark index. Year to date the fund has returned 8.46% compared to 10.74% for the OSEFX. Since incepon the fund has returned 135% versus 107% for the benchmark. In April posive aribuon for the Fund versus the benchmark index came from overweights in Elkem and B2 Hold- ing, and underweight in Schibsted. Elkem announced results for the first quarter which were in-line with market expectaons. Results were down from the corresponding quarter last year due to lower Chinese silicone prices. However, Chines silicone prices have risen year-to-date and Elkem expects higher operang results going forward. The B2 Holding share recovered somewhat in April, without significant company news. B2 Holding’s results for the fourth quarter were weaker than expected due to delayed collecons on secured NPLs, especially relang to one liability in Croaa. Schibsted was split in two companies in April; Schibsted with Nordic media and online classifieds assets like Finn.no and Blocket.se, and Adevinta with internaonal online classifieds websites like Leboncoin.fr, OLX.br, in addion to sites in Spain and Italy. The Schibsted share fell following the split. In April negave aribuon for the Fund versus the benchmark index came from overweight in Atea, and under- weights in Gjensidige Forsikring and NEL. Atea’s results for the first quarter were weak in Denmark, and there was somewhat low margins in Norway. The company had more orders from private customers in Denmark in Q1, but fewer orders from the public sector.

  • Storebrand's Role in Reaching the Sdgs
    Storebrand’s Role in Reaching the SDGs Investing in a future worth looking forward to A Master’s Thesis Written By Celine Topper (102540) Hanne Bjørnslett Nilsen (103539) MSc in Finance & Investments MSc in Finance & Strategic Management Supervisor: Svend Peter Malmkjær Date of Submission: 15th of May 2020 Number of Standard Pages: 117 Characters: 265 310 Copenhagen Business School Abstract This study investigates the Norwegian financial industry’s work with sustainable investments and was inspired by how investors, both public and private, have a crucial role in the channeling of cash flows toward sustainable projects. It aims to identify how the case company Storebrand is working systematically with sustainable investments and evaluates whether other companies can follow their lead to support United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. Based on interviews with representatives from the industry and documentary secondary data, we mapped success factors and potential challenges for the work with sustainable investments. The in-depth study of Storebrand found that Storebrand’s success derives from four essential elements: (1) integration of sustainability into everything they do, (2) perception of sustainability as a competitive advantage, (3) size, and (4) expertise. By comparing Storebrand to our peer group of institutional investors, we identified and addressed four main challenges that hinder the work of integrating sustainability into asset management: (1) perception of sustainability, (2) lack of information, (3) lack of shared definitions, and (4) how size matters. The research concludes that parts of Storebrand’s success can be challenging for the peers to imitate, but that several findings can be used as inspiration for their own approach.
