Driven by decades of insight – active investing since 1986
C WorldWide began its journey in the heart of Copenhagen in 1986, founded on the belief that long-term thinking, careful analysis, and a deep understanding of global trends could lead to better investment returns. It’s a big responsibility to invest other people’s money – a responsibility based on trust and cooperation, and a responsibility we take very seriously. Throughout our history, we have remained true to that core belief. Though much has changed around us, our purpose remains – to invest responsibly on behalf of our clients, with a clear focus on quality and sustainability.
While based in Copenhagen, we are proud to be present in Sweden, Norway, and Finland. Over time, we’ve built lasting relationships with private and institutional investors, always with an emphasis on transparency, diligence, and an unwavering focus on quality. This approach has made us a trusted partner of some of the largest and most professional investors in Scandinavia, Australia, Canada, and the USA.
Today, we manage assets in excess of DKK 100 billion across thirteen focused equity strategies. Our approach is active, long-term, and grounded in fundamental research. We do not chase trends – we aim to understand them and invest in companies we believe are well-positioned for the future.
People first, always
C WorldWide’s culture is shaped by its people. It’s defined by openness, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to creating value for our clients. That’s why we invest as much in people as we do in portfolios, as the right minds, working together, make all the difference – whether selecting the best equities or developing client solutions.
Our team has grown in step with our ambitions – from just a handful of professionals in 1986 to more than 120 people today (as of Q3 2025), representing 14 different nationalities. This diverse group brings unique perspectives and insights. Our portfolio managers have on average 16 years with the firm and over two decades of investment experience. That continuity ensures not only stability but also a dynamic exchange of ideas that keeps our thinking sharp. In turn, our investment strategy continues to be refined.
Crafted for the long term
At the heart of our investment philosophy lies the craftsmanship of long-term active stock picking – the deliberate, disciplined approach to uncovering companies with the qualities of future winners.
We seek businesses with strong fundamentals, enduring relevance, and the ability to grow across cycles. Our long-term horizon allows us to look past short-term noise and focus on what really matters: lasting, resilient value creation.
A world of opportunity
At C WorldWide, we continue to invest with transparency, strong conviction, and commitment to our clients. It's not just about the numbers – it’s about understanding the forces shaping the world and identifying the companies best positioned to thrive.
For 40 years, we’ve stayed true to this mission, and our journey continues. We’re actively investing with a vision-led perspective – grounded in rigorous research, guided by conviction, and driven by the ambition to uncover long-term value in a world of constant change.
Behind the scenes
C WorldWide Asset Management works closely with C WorldWide Fund Management (CWWFM), which handles the fund’s daily administrative tasks. While the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority regulates us, CWWFM is supervised by Luxembourg’s Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier.
Our roots stretch back to Carnegie Asset Management, established in 1986 as part of the Carnegie Group. In 2009, we entered a new chapter of ownership and are today owned by Altor Fund III and employees of C WorldWide. In 2017, we became C WorldWide Asset Management, a name that reflects not only our global outlook but also our independence, unique identity and the strength of our brand.
