Specialised asset Management – strengthened by a leading investment environment

Delphi Funds is part of Storebrand Asset Management, one of the leading asset management environments in the Nordic region. Within this structure, specialised investment teams operate with full professional independence while benefiting from a strong institutional platform for risk management, operations, and reporting.

For Delphi, this represents the best of both worlds: we manage our funds independently, based on our own investment philosophy and process, while also being part of a solid and long-term ownership structure.

From research house to asset manager

Delphi’s history dates back to the mid-1980s, when the company was established as a provider of analysis, data processing, and information on listed companies.

The business gradually evolved from the sale of market data and advisory services on individual equities to the management of equities and investment funds. With the acquisition of the funds Trend International and Trend Norge in 1995 — now known as Delphi Nordic and Delphi Norge — Delphi Fondsforvaltning was established as a fund manager.

In 2000, Delphi became part of the Storebrand Group. This provided a solid and long-term owner, as well as access to efficient systems and institutional infrastructure for settlement, administration, and risk control.

A clear investment philosophy – since the beginning

Since inception, our funds have been managed according to the same fundamental principle: a combination of price trends and fundamental factors as drivers of long-term returns.

At the same time, the investment process has been continuously refined. New data sources, analytical tools, and methodological improvements are regularly integrated in order to adapt to an increasingly complex and global market environment.

Our objective has remained consistent throughout the years: to generate long-term, risk-adjusted excess returns through active management.

Our funds

Today, Delphi manages the following funds:

  • Delphi Norge (established 1994)
  • Delphi Nordic (1991)
  • Delphi Kombinasjon (1997)
  • Delphi Global (2006)
  • Delphi Global Valutasikret (2017)

In 2018, several share classes were introduced across the funds to accommodate different investor needs (see the fund prospectuses for details).

Specialised asset management – strengthened by Storebrand Asset Management

As part of Storebrand Asset Management’s multi-boutique structure, we collaborate with complementary investment teams specialising in areas such as value-based equity management, private equity, real estate, and infrastructure.

Each team has a clearly defined specialisation and operates with full professional autonomy.

For Delphi, this means:

  • A highly specialised and focused investment environment
  • Institutional strength, scale, and long-term ownership
  • Access to broad market insights across asset classes, investment philosophies, and sustainability
  • High standards in risk management, reporting, and operational infrastructure

We benefit from the strength of a leading Nordic asset management platform without compromising our independence, investment philosophy, or decision-making authority.

Delphi is therefore a specialised asset manager that is stronger precisely because we are part of a larger and robust whole.

Historical returns are no guarantee for future returns. Future returns will depend, inter alia, on market developments, the fund manager’s skills, the fund’s risk profile and management fees. The return may become negative as a result of negative price developments. There is risk associated with investing in funds due to market movements, currency developments, interest rate levels, economic, sector and company-specific conditions. Returns may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations. Prior to making a subscription, we encourage you to read the fund's prospectus and key investor information document which contain further details about the fund's characteristics and costs.
