VKR Holding
Villum Kann Rasmussen established the VKR Group that later became the source of wealth for VKR Holding. Three generations of the Kann-Rasmussen family now oversee the office through board and foundation roles. The firm allocates across direct co-investments, fund-of-funds commitments, private credit, private equity, and real estate. Confirmed holdings include commercial properties such as Campus LKR in Hørsholm and industrial sites in Østbirk. Geographic reach covers Europe, the Middle East & Central Asia, and North America. Sector exposure includes PropTech, ClimateTech, Energy Transition & Renewables, Industrial Tech, and Supply Chain & Logistics. The office lists no disclosed headcount or additional locations beyond its Hørsholm headquarters. Related philanthropic vehicles include the Villum Foundation, Velux Foundation, and KR Foundation. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Family members occupy the chair and foundation leadership positions, creating direct succession linkage between the original industrial business and current capital deployment.
