3K6 Skoginvest AS

3K6 Skoginvest is a new investment fund launched with the aim of achieving attractive returns by investing in companies in the forestry-related sector that specialise in the processing of forestry raw materials.

The fund will invest in the growth equity and venture stages with the aim of participating in the development of tomorrow’s sustainable forestry sector.

The fund will be launched with capital assets totalling approx. NOK 300 million, combined with a start-up portfolio comprising four companies. The ambition is to inject additional capital into the fund during the initial years.

From its launch, the fund will have the participation of well-reputed institutional investors such as Investinor, KLP and spearheads in the forestry sector as its founders.

The fund will be managed autonomously by Investinor, having its own investment team, investment committee and Board. The 3K6 fund is a so-called ‘Article 8’ fund.

The fund is expected to be fully operative during the second half of 2023.

Process

We request that you use this contact form when submitting an investor presentation.

1. If your company meets the criteria, we will invite you to a telephone or videoconference call for an initial investor presentation.
2. If, after the first meeting, 3K6 wishes to continue with the process, your company will be invited to a more detailed review of both your business and your co-investors.
3. If your company progresses further, a thorough review (due diligence process) will be carried out. On the basis of an overall assessment, 3K6 will then judge which companies will continue to the decision stage.
4. The final decision as to whether Investinor will invest in your company will be handled by 3K6.

Investinor – what we do

Investinor aims to be a reliable and attractive long-term investor offering capital investment, expertise and networks. We intend to achieve commercial returns on our fund investments.

A shareholders’ agreement, based on commercial terms and conditions, shall be entered into between the shareholders in the fund. The agreement shall regulate relations between the shareholders and govern the operation and administration of the fund. Investinor places significant emphasis on ensuring that the fund management team, co-investors and the company have the ability and willingness to discharge their social (ESG) responsibilities seriously and to exercise good business practice.

Fund managers are responsible for the selection and follow-up of investment objects. However, the Board/investment committee at 3K6 will take the final investment decisions. The fund management team reports to the fund investors (LPs) on a regular basis.
