About VNV Global
The foundation for the investment activities is fundamental analysis of primarily unlisted companies. In markets and sectors where Vostok New Ventures has particular knowledge and expertise, such as in emerging markets and online classifieds, the return requirement may sometimes be lower while in sectors where we do not have the same experience of investing, the requirement may be higher. The latter is intended to compensate for an increased amount of risk.
VNV Global invests in high-growth technology companies with the potential to become global leaders. With more than 20 years´ worth of experience, we´re passionate about turning visionary business ideas into enduring realities. The common shares of VNV are listed on the NASDAQ Stockholm Exchange, Mid Cap segment, with the ticker VNV.
