NOTE 3
SEGMENT REPORTING
             
Ferd's segment reporting complies with IFRS 8. Ferd is an investment company, and the Company's management makes decisions, monitors and evaluates these decisions based on the development in value and fair value of the Company's investments. The operating segments are identified on the basis of investment type/mandate, capital and resource allocation and risk assessment. Ferd is operating the following four business areas:
             
Ferd Capital is a long-term investor working actively with the companies during the period of ownership to secure the development in value to be the best possible. Ferd Capital comprises three mandates: Non-listed companies, listed companies and Special Investment. Special Investments is a mandate in the initial phase.

Ferd Invest mainly invests in listed Nordic limited companies. The ambition is to beat a Nordic share index (the MSCI Nordic Mid Cap Index). The investment team is not focusing on the reference index in the management of the portfolio, but concentrates on the companies in which they invest and their development.
             
Ferd Hedge Fund comprises two mandates: Hedge funds investing in various types of hedge funds managed by hedge fund environments abroad. The aim is to achieve an attractive risk-adjusted return, both in absolute terms and relatively to the hedge fund index (HFRI FoF: Conservative Index). In the Global Fund Opportunities mandate (GFO), Ferd Hedge Fund can invest in externally managed opportunities not suitable for the hedge funds portfolio, but are attractive in view of Ferd's total portfolio and contribute to spread risk in the Group.
             
Ferd Real Estate is an active property investor responsible for the Group's efforts concerning property. Developments mainly take place within housing projects, new office buildings and warehouse/combined buildings. The projects are partly carried out in-house, partly together with selected external cooperating partners. Investments concerning financial property only are also made.
             
Other areas mainly comprises investments in externally managed private equity funds and hedge funds acquired in the second-hand market. These investments do no require much daily follow-up and are therefore monitored by management. Other areas also comprise some financial instruments to be utilised by management to adjust the total risk exposure. Costs to the company's management, staff and in-house bank are also included.
