Abstract:
Over the past three decades, Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF) have grown to become key players in the global investment landscape. At the top of this list is the Norwegian SWF, with a volume of assets under management surpassing 1 billion US$1, of which 70% is invested in more than 9,000 listed companies worldwide. This paper offers a global and descriptive vision of the evolution of the distribution of investment in shares, taking into account criteria such as the economic sector to which it belongs, the region where the investment is made or the number of companies that attract this investment. It is concluded that the fund has chosen to consolidate a highly diversified investment strategy both geographically and by industry.
