A.P. Moller Holding

What they do

Established in 2013 by the Mærsk family, A.P. Moller Holding acts as the investment arm of the A.P. Moller Foundation. It was created to safeguard the long-term viability of the family's wealth and to manage a diversified portfolio of industry-leading companies, reducing reliance on its historical shipping core (A.P. Moller - Maersk). Guided by the foundational principle of "nyttig virksomhed" (useful business), the firm leverages its industrial heritage, global networks, and patient capital to build and scale businesses that drive positive societal and environmental change.

What they look for

The firm's core purpose is to invest in and build businesses that have a positive impact on society. Their investment strategy is anchored around four long-term secular growth themes: Global trade; The energy transition; Circularity, water & waste recovery; and Demographic & societal change. They seek out sustainable, scalable business models that align with multi-decade mega-trends. For their Growth Equity arm, they look for late-stage entrepreneurs who require patient, long-term capital to industrialize and scale their operations globally. They favor companies with strong management teams and robust, profitable (or path-to-profitability) business models.
