The Placentia Bay Aquaculture Project of Grieg NL has made significant progress and is soon ready for the first eggs to be released into the new freshwater facility. With almost 30 years of experience from fresh water, post-smolt and sea water production of salmon in similar conditions to Placentia Bay, Grieg Seafood will bring world-class expertise to complete the next phase of the project. Grieg Seafood is the world’s 7th largest salmon farming company with production in the North and South of Norway, Scotland in the UK and British Columbia in Canada. The company will this year harvest 100 000 tonnes of salmon globally. Grieg Seafood will make significant investments into the Newfoundland region in the coming years to develop state- of-the-art salmon farms and ensure responsible farming practices. Grieg Seafood is in a strong position to bring stable and sustainable jobs to the coastal communities of Placentia Bay for years to come. All of Grieg NL’s development plans and agreements with local companies or Governmental Authorities will be honored and continued. Plans for service and processing are unchanged. Newfoundland processing company Ocean Choice International will remain a valued local partner in the project. The Placentia Bay Aquaculture Project will at completion contribute with at least 37 direct jobs on land and 101 direct marine jobs.

Storebrand’s position as a leading player in the Nordic occupational pension market strengt- hened through 2011. In addition, several strategic and organisational adjustments were im- plemented in order to increase focus on the retail market. The reason for this initiative is the transition from defined benefit to defined contribution occupational pension schemes, where the individual employees have a greater involvement. Business relationships give the Group a strategic advantage in the relationships established with company employees. OUTLOOK Fusion of corporate and retail markets The shift from defined benefit to defined contribution occupational pension schemes has led to both risks and investment options being transferred from employer to employee. In addi- tion, the pensions reform will lead to lower future pension payments for many employees. In sum, this increases both the need and interest in pensions and private savings significantly.

  • Arctic Norwegian Equities Monthly Report July 2020
    Arctic Norwegian Equities Monthly Report July 2020 FUND COMMENTS Arctic Norwegian Equities gave 3.4% return in July (I-class) versus 4% for the OSEFX benchmark index. Year to date the fund has returned -14.3% compared to -10.1% for the OSEFX. Since inception the fund has returned 120.7% versus 100.2% for the benchmark index. In July many of the largest companies on the Oslo Stock Exchange an- nounced results for the 2nd quarter. Several companies delivered above market expectations. Of note is DNB which rose near 10 percent on the day of reporting, driven by lower loan losses and higher other income. A number of companies also announced positive profit warmings, including B2 Holding, XXL, Atea and Europris. In July positive attribution for the Fund versus the benchmark index came from overweights in Atea and Crayon, and underweight in Mowi. Atea announced positive results for the 2nd quarter. Revenues were up by 12 percent from Q2 last year, and the company’s operating profit and bottom line were 50 percent higher than market expec- tations. Atea has further strengthened its competitive position in the Nordics, with a marked share in excess of 20 percent. Crayon also rose in July, partly due to strong software sales for Atea. Crayon is a large global partner of Microsoft. Microsoft announced 2nd quarter results which exceeded market expectations on the top- and bottom line. Shares in salmon farming declined in July, partly due to weak salmon price development. Demand for air transport to China has been reduced after discovery of coronavirus on a salmon cutting board in Beijing.
