Levantor
Levantor was established as a multi-family office serving families that seek tailored private equity exposure. Jørgen Kjærnes, former Managing Director of Argentum, leads the firm as Founder and Chairman alongside board member and co-owner Kine Burøy-Olsen. The firm concentrates on late-stage direct co-investments, SPVs, private credit, secondaries and private equity. Confirmed positions include Permian, sold to Telemos Capital in 2024, and Cubera Private Equity, sold to Storebrand in 2019. Activity spans Europe and extends to North America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Oceania. Levantor employs a compact team under Managing Director John-Even B. Øveraasen. The firm maintains its sole office at Hieronymus Heyerdahls gate 1 in Oslo. In 2024 Telemos Capital acquired a majority stake in Permian from Levantor. Levantor operates as an independent multi-family office without affiliation to a single founding fortune or external sponsor, allowing direct alignment with client mandates on deal selection and liquidity events.
