Novo Holdings serves as the stable owner of the Novo Group and seeks attractive long-term returns to fund the Novo Nordisk Foundation while growing its investment portfolio. A significant share of capital is directed to direct life science investing across seed, venture, growth, principal, planetary health and Asia strategies, spanning pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical technology, healthcare services and industrial biosolutions. It invests in both private and public companies, taking majority or minority positions with a flexible, long-term style. Beyond life sciences, its Capital Investments unit builds a diversified portfolio of equities, fixed income, real assets, credit and alternatives, partnering with specialist fund managers and investing for positive societal and environmental impact.
