About the fund

The Government Pension Fund Global was established after Norway discovered oil in the North Sea. The fund was set up to shield the economy from ups and downs in oil revenue. It also serves as a financial reserve and as a long-term savings plan so that both current and future generations of Norway get to benefit from our national wealth.

Who decides what?

The governance structure ensures that important decisions concerning the level of risk assumed have the support of the fund's owners, represented by the Norwegian government and the Storting. However, it is emphasised that there must be sufficient delegation to ensure that operational investment decisions are made close to the markets the fund is invested in.

Has laid down the formal framework for the fund in the Government Pension Fund Act.
