Investment strategy

The Government Pension Fund Global seeks to take advantage of its long-term outlook and considerable size to generate high returns and safeguard Norway’s wealth for future generations.

The fund holds 60 percent of its assets in equities, 35 percent to 40 percent in fixed income and as much as 5 percent in real estate. The investments are spread globally outside of Norway.

The fund maintains broad exposure to stock, bond and real estate markets. It also seeks out exposure to risk factors that are expected to generate high returns over time and identifies long-term investment opportunities in specific sectors and companies.
