Established in 2000 and headquartered in Oslo, Norway, Formue ("The Company"), formerly Formuesforvaltning, is Norway’s leading wealth manager with a presence in Sweden, serving primarily high net worth individuals. Offering a comprehensive range of wealth management services from its offices across Norway, Sweden and the UK, Formue provides advice on wealth planning, investment portfolio management, business management, family office support and legal services. Formue offers its clients a highly digitised service offering with a hybrid model combining advisor engagement and tech-enabled reporting capabilities.

Quote from Formue
“We are delighted to be partnering with both IK and ICG as we embark on the next stage of our strategic development. In particular, we are privileged to have on board two investors with such solid track records of internationalising high-potential European businesses and furthering companies’ digital footprints.
