Edholm held roles in risk management, asset allocation and as an active value-biased stock-picker, on the long as well as the short side.
Similar to other Skagen funds, the portfolio managers of the new fund will assess companies from the bottom up.
They will focus on analysing the traits of individual stocks, with an aim to identify those with hidden value, and the potential triggers for that value to be recognised by the market over the medium to long term.
