The year that is now drawing to a close has been another historic year for Kraft Finans. In 2025, we have once again set new records, both in terms of new customer growth and a record-breaking increase in assets under management (AUM). This development confirms the strong confidence existing and new customers have in us, and motivates us to continue to deliver long-term and solid value creation for our customers.
Our two oldest high-yield funds, Kraft Høyrente and Kraft Nordic Bonds, have again delivered solid returns this year. Both funds have delivered a return of more than 10 percent, once again topping the lists of high-yield funds with the best returns. These are results we are proud of – not only as a company, but first and foremost on behalf of the customers of Kraft Finans.
At the same time, 2025 has been an important year for the further development of our fund management. With Forte Fondene now an integrated part of Kraft Fondene, we are strengthening both our expertise and the breadth of our management offering. This gives us an even better starting point for offering customers more and more comprehensive investment solutions in the future – without compromising our basic philosophy of long-term, disciplined and risk-adjusted returns.
This year we continued our focus on Private Equity in collaboration with Argentum. Interest in their 2025 fund was very high, and a total of EUR 45,671,958 was committed during the issue. We look forward to continuing the good cooperation with Argentum also in 2026.
While we can look back on a positive year, we live in a world where many people are still experiencing uncertainty and great strain. This reminds us of the importance of stability, security and community. We are pleased with the signals that the war in the Middle East has come to an end, and hope that this can provide scope for reconstruction, dialogue and lasting peace. At the same time, it is deeply sad that the war in Ukraine is still going on, with great human suffering and consequences. Our thoughts are with all those affected by war, conflict and humanitarian crises – and with those who face challenging life situations around the world every day.
Christmas is therefore a time to pause, reflect and appreciate your loved ones. We hope you have the opportunity to enjoy good times with family and friends, and take care of each other during the holiday season. We wish you and yours a peaceful Christmas and a brilliant new year filled with joy and good memories.
Regards
Kraft Finans
