At the end of 2010, 165 000 people worked in companies in Norfund’s investment portfolio (148 000 in 2009). The increase was mainly due to new investments our funds made during 2010, and the fact that some of these investee companies have many employees. 111 000 were employed in companies in which Norfund has invested indirectly through fund managers. 54 000 were employed in enterprises in which Norfund has invested directly. 53 000 of the 165 000 employees were women, i.e. 32 per cent. This is a small increase from last year’s 29 per cent.
