Responsible, discreet stewardship of family capital — Novo Capital invests with time on its side, thinking in decades rather than quarters.
Because Novo Capital invests only the family's capital, we are free to adopt lengthy investment horizons. We back businesses and assets with patience and conviction — supporting growth that matures over many years and safeguarding capital for descendants to come.
We evaluate opportunities with exacting standards and partner privately with entrepreneurs, family offices, and institutions who share our horizon and values.
We choose a small number of high-conviction opportunities where we can contribute insight, governance and a steady capital base.
Transactions are often private and confidential — working directly with founders and trusted co-investors to preserve value and privacy.
We prioritize strategic alignment, integrity and long-term relationships over short-term publicity.
Our portfolio is intentionally curated: core holdings where we add advantage, complementary asset classes for stability, and selective growth investments for future opportunity.
Long-term stakes in businesses where history and expertise create durable advantage.
Selective property investments offering income, diversification and long-term appreciation.
Patiently backing select growth companies where long-term support matters most.
Selected fund partnerships used to access niche expertise and broaden diversification when aligned with our thesis.
How we invest matters as much as where we invest. We emphasize ethical governance, societal impact, and disciplined risk management — avoiding reputational pitfalls and investing where capital can do constructive work.
Practical measures: ESG considerations in diligence, robust downside analysis, and ongoing stewardship to protect stakeholders.
