Overview
Reitan Kapital is one of three business areas of REITAN AS, the holding company that grew from the shop Ole and Margit Reitan opened in Trondheim in 1948 and that describes itself as a family business. Its mandate is to manage REITAN's surplus liquidity and build financial reserves alongside the group's operating businesses. It invests mainly in global equity and bond funds, not single companies, except mature companies linked to Trøndelag, and selects managers through a published evidence-based process. It is led by Magnus Reitan.
