AKO CAPITAL

Based in London, AKO Capital is one of Europe's leading investment partnerships. Founded in 2005 by Nicolai Tangen, AKO Capital manages approximately USD 21.1bn across long-only and long-short equity funds... Like us, our clients are also long-term investors, many of them foundations, universities and hospitals that are investing to support regular charitable disbursements from their perpetual capital. The largest owner of AKO Capital is the AKO Foundation, itself a charity, while the partners of the firm are also significantly invested in our funds alongside our clients... The AKO Foundation supports charitable causes that improve education, promote the arts, or mitigate climate problems. Established in 2013 by Nicolai Tangen, the founder of AKO Capital, the Foundation has to date made charitable grants in excess of £185 million. A large share of AKO's profit goes to the Foundation every year.
