MTHP
MTHP traces its origin to 1975 when the family behind BESTSELLER created the MTHP Fond. Troels Holch Povlsen and Merete Bech Povlsen, the founders of BESTSELLER, established the structure to manage multigenerational holdings. Their son Anders Holch Povlsen now serves as sole owner of the retail group. The office allocates across private equity, real estate, direct co-investments and philanthropic vehicles. Confirmed holdings include commercial properties in Copenhagen and London, estates in Denmark and Scotland, and the Blackbird Air fleet. Geographic reach covers Europe and North America. Investment stages center on buyout and growth opportunities. Team size and total deployment remain undisclosed. Adjacent structures include the Nine United Fond. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in public records. MTHP maintains separation between its investment activities and the operating company BESTSELLER, with the family office focused on capital preservation and targeted deployment rather than operational control of the retail business.
