Norway's sovereign wealth fund earned $247 billion in 2025
- Norges Bank Investment Management said on Thursday that last year, the $2.2 trillion fund posted a 15.1% return, its best in two years.
- Driven by equities, NBIM's sector bets included a fifth in technology stocks and 12% in financials, with the fund trimming US tech stakes in the second half.
- The fund holds about 1.5% of all listed shares globally across about 7,200 companies, and its value rose by 1.5 trillion kroner to 21.3 trillion kroner at year-end.
- NBIM's underperformance raises budget stakes as it missed its benchmark by 28 basis points last year, while the fund finances 25% of Norway's fiscal budget and equals $US385,000 per Norwegian.
- Stress tests show a fragmentation scenario could cut the fund by 37%, with an AI correction scenario reducing it 35%, while experts question NBIM's 52.9% asset concentration in the United States.
