This is the Pareto group

Pareto is a leading, independent operator in the Nordic market for financial services.
The company has offices in Oslo, Stavanger, Trondheim, Kristiansand, Stockholm, Helsinki, Copenhagen, London, Frankfurt, Zürich, Singapore, Perth, New York and Houston. Pareto was founded in late 1985 and since that time has grown into a corporate group offering a wide array of products.

Business sectors

Through its subsidiaries, Pareto offers a broad range of services: brokerage of equities, bonds and partnership interests, facilitation of equity and debt capital issues, and direct investments. The group also provides project financing, business management services, valuations, financial advisory services, asset management services, and insurance and real estate brokerage services. Pareto’s ship brokerage business is involved in chartering and sale and purchase of dry bulk tonnage and drilling rigs, as well as providing technical management services to the maritime market. In certain areas of business, the group works closely with Pareto Bank, in which Pareto is the largest shareholder.

Diversity and a strong local presence

The broad scope of Pareto’s product range has provided the foundations for the group to grow and prosper and has given our clients a balanced and diversified product portfolio offering sound, long­term returns. Pareto’s long­standing engagement with local markets and companies has equipped us with experi­ence and skills, enabling us to treat each client individually and to safeguard and promote our clients’ interests in the best way possible.

Pareto prioritises organic growth and the development of in­-house competence. Acquisitions, mergers and collaborations are continuously under consideration, with the aim of complement­ing and developing the company still further.
