Storm Capital

Storm Capital Management is an independent Nordic asset manager based in Oslo, Norway, specializing in Nordic credit strategies. The firm focuses predominantly on the high-yield space within the Nordic corporate bond markets. They manage the Storm Bond Fund, a SICAV/UCITS structured fund domiciled in Luxembourg, which invests in corporate bonds.

Founded in 2006, Storm Capital Management is owned by its partners. Morten E. Astrup is the CIO and a founding partner, bringing over 25 years of financial and asset management experience to the firm. The company initially launched the Storm Nordic Fund in November 2006, a long/short equity fund, but later closed it in December 2015 to intensify its focus on Nordic High Yield. The Storm Bond Fund was launched in September 2008 in response to investor demand and perceived opportunities in the credit market.

Beyond its credit strategies, Storm Capital Management also has a history in real estate. In November 2008, the firm took over the management of E-Star Property, which later became Storm Real Estate ASA.

KMC Properties AS owns 39 industrial properties across the Nordics and the Netherlands, valued at approximately NOK 3 billion at the time of the transaction. More recently, in February 2026, Storm Capital Management AS partnered with MPC Capital to launch the MPC Storm Maritime Opportunities (MSO) investment platform, which secured USD 35 million in its first close, focusing on opportunistic shipping investments.
