In addition, we are in the process of setting up an investment vehicle ("Invest in NIC A/S") allowing individual investors who wish to gather forces as a collective investment group, collectively investing with smaller investment amounts, on equal footing with NIC's large anchor investors.
The investment group will be managed by Assure Wealth, an investment management company which today administrates client portfolios of approximately 35 billion DKK with focus on controlling and performance measurement. Assure Wealth was established few years ago by Karsten Poulsen (Chairman) and Klaus Breitenstein (CEO) and a few seed investors. Together Karsten and Klaus have long lasting operational and financial experience from companies such as ISS, Saxo Bank, Keops, Nykredit and BRF.
