HC aims to make equity or equity-related investments of NOK 100-850 million and seeks to own more than 50% of the shares in their portfolio companies, either alone or with partners. The firm's aims to avoid asset-intensive and cyclical industries, and although not sector-specific, they pay particular attention to the oil services, health care, consumer, trade/retail, services and telecom sectors.
