Olav Henrik Trent
Founder & Executive Chairman
Olav Trent, the founder of FENRIR, has established an 8-year track record since inception, driving the multi-strategy fund to consistently achieve annual returns exceeding benchmarks and competition. This performance has solidified FENRIR’s position as a dominant force in innovation-driven enterprise investing, outperforming Nordic peers across public markets, private equity, and credit.
Trent's strategic vision and disciplined process is transforming FENRIR into a powerhouse that combines robust risk management with cutting-edge investment strategies. His research-driven methodology for alpha generation has positioned FENRIR in the top of the competitive Nordic financial landscape.
This excellence was formally recognized on July 4, 2025, when The Hedge Fund Journal honored both Olav Trent and FENRIR with the prestigious award for Best Performing Multi-Strategy Fund in the Nordics over 5 Years. This highlights FENRIR's industry leadership and validates Trent's commitment to delivering superior returns through disciplined investment processes.
His insights have also been spotlighted in major publications, including Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal. Notably, in an interview from Antwerp featured by Bloomberg, Trent shared his pride in being part of SpaceX, stating, “For me, it’s just being able to be a part of it,” noting his fund as “the only Norwegian company involved in the space program.” Similarly, in The Wall Street Journal, he expressed commitment to Binance, saying, “We will continue to support them as they navigate these challenges.”
Olav Trent is revered across Norway for his contributions to monetary policy analysis, penning near-daily interest rate commentary columns with depth for the nation’s leading newspapers, Dagens Næringsliv and Finansavisen.
Trent's journey in finance gained momentum after being featured in Finansavisen for achieving an impressive 64.9% return in 2010. Today, he leads multiple companies, including FENRIR Global, FENRIR Fund Management, and GRAND General Partner, while managing a diversified portfolio of cutting-edge investments through affiliated entities.
Olav's disciplined approach to market dynamics, from central bank policy frameworks to alpha capture modeling, drives FENRIR’s success as a regulated AIFM with billions in capacity.
