We note that hedge funds have no significant investment in Nordic Semiconductor. Our data shows that DNB Asset Management AS is the largest shareholder with 12% of shares outstanding. Meanwhile, the second and third largest shareholders hold 11% and 5.3% of the outstanding shares respectively. Additionally, we found that Svenn-Tore Larsen, the CEO, owns 1.0% of the shares allocated to his name.

Insider ownership of Nordic Semiconductor

The definition of company insiders can be subjective and varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing at least board members. Management is ultimately responsible to the board of directors. However, it is not uncommon for managers to be members of the management board, especially if they are founders or CEOs.

Insider ownership is positive when it signals that executives think like the true owners of the company. However, strong insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in certain circumstances.

We can report that insiders hold shares in Nordic Semiconductor ASA. Insiders have a significant stake worth 509 million kr. Most would see this as a real positive. If you want to explore the issue of insider alignment, you can click here to see if insiders have been buying or selling.
