Sustainability in the investment analysis

At Odin, sustainability is a core part of our investment philosophy. We are selective in choosing companies that align with our values and investment goals. Our concentrated funds, typically holding 30-35 companies, allow us to conduct in-depth analysis and engage closely with the companies we invest in.
Our investment process includes the following three key practices:

Exclusion Criteria: We set clear boundaries by excluding companies involved in controversial activities, such as those linked to controversial weapons or human rights violations. This approach aims to provide our clients with reassurance about the types of activities they are not exposed to through Odin’s funds. Read more in Exclusions and Observations.

Sustainability assessments: Are central to our investment process. We evaluate both ESG risks and opportunities for each company. We also assess how well the board and management are equipped to address these challenges. Our analysis is based on a range of sources, including public data, NGO reports, and direct engagement with management. We also use external research for objective ESG insights. The goal is to invest in companies that are well-managed, able to handle risks, and positioned for sustainable long-term value creation.
