Golden Alpha

Golden Alpha represents the Sohmen family and acts as the investment team for part of the family's investment activities. The Golden Alpha investment mandate covers private and public investments, both direct and through external fund managers. The Sohmen family's operating business is the BW Group, a leading global maritime group involved in oil and gas transportation, floating gas infrastructure, environmental technologies and deepwater production. The group was founded by Sir Y.K. Pao in Hong Kong in 1955 as World-Wide Shipping and was rebranded as BW following the acquisition of Norway's largest shipping company Bergesen in 2003. Golden Alpha was the name given to the first ship purchased by Y.K. Pao.
