Building on two consecutive years of strong performance, including a positive outcome during the challenging market conditions of 2022, Danish fixed-income boutique SRV Capital is making an important leap in its growth journey. Amid an expanding client base and rising assets under management, the firm – which manages the relative-value fixed-income fund SRV Fixed Income – has strengthened its team with three new hires: a new Chief Operating Officer, a Client Director, and an Analyst.
SRV Capital, a fixed-income boutique located in Charlottenlund, just north of Copenhagen, was co-founded by Torben Pedersen and Erik Bo Hansen (pictured) after long careers at Nordea. After a relatively quiet start for its flagship fund, SRV Fixed Income, from its launch in 2019 through 2021, the fund managed a 0.6 percent gain during the turbulent market conditions of 2022, when many fixed-income funds and broader markets struggled. This was followed by a 14.3 percent return in 2023, its best annual performance so far, and a similarly strong 13.9 percent gain in 2024. The momentum has carried into 2025, with the fund posting its best-ever monthly return of 3.7 percent in January.
“In 2024, we witnessed significant growth in both new clients and assets under management. With growth comes added tasks and complexity, which requires us to strengthen our team with new competencies, so that we can continue to support further growth.”
Erik Bo Hansen, CEO of SRV Capital.
The fund’s solid performance has fueled increased investor interest, driving a rise in assets under management from both new and existing investors. By late 2024, SRV Capital oversaw DKK 6 billion in assets across its fund vehicle and individual mandates. “In 2024, we witnessed significant growth in both new clients and assets under management. With growth comes added tasks and complexity, which requires us to strengthen our team with new competencies, so that we can continue to support further growth,” announces Erik Bo Hansen, the CEO of SRV Capital. “That is why we welcomed three new colleagues in January,” he adds. “We look forward to an exciting 2025 with continued growth in assets under management.”
First, Mads Kristian Lercke Odgaard has joined SRV Capital as Chief Operating Officer, where he will strengthen and further develop the operational foundation on which the company is already built. Odgaard comes from Sampension, where he most recently served as Head of Backoffice, Operations, and Valuations. Frederik Køhler has been appointed as the new Client Director, tasked with increasing awareness of SRV Capital and attracting more potential investors. Køhler previously worked at Bang & Jensen Group, a Danish management and investment company, and has also held roles as an investment advisor at Jyske Bank, among other positions in the finance industry. Finally, SRV Capital has welcomed Peter Dam Skjærbæk as a new Analyst, who will assist in further automating processes and controls.
